in fact the most horrible thing that can happen to a black person in AMERICA is live in close proximity to other American black people ... now mr bm and mr bm and mr bronco you guys are more than welcome to point out that this is wrong or you can scream racist blah blah blah and we will all wonder why the murder rate per capita in Detroit is higher than FUCKING BAGDAD IRAQ  |
After spending a few weeks in France on business, a buddy of mine from Dallas who has probably always been the most racist of all my friends started saying 'African-American' when referring to black people from the US. He apparently had such a good experience working with his black French co-workers, that he did not want to lump them into the same category as 'African-Americans' by referring to them all as 'black'. So now he basically uses 'African-American' as a slur. lol Just goes to show that the words themselves are largely irrelevant.
