Dissapointing day for black people everywhere
 

bummer.

I don't get it... why should black people be disappointed by this?

I know one in particular on this board that will be.

Either that or he'll throw his usual hissy fit.

because it suggests that our humans originated in europe instead of africa, life previously believed

thats an old tooth

all that shit is bullshit because people don't believe in evolution.

hmmm, I did not get the impression that this was their conclusion.

It isn't saying they did not originate from Africa, just earlier than thought.

At least, that is how I interpreted it.

I read the article differently.

what are you talking about?

"This leads us to a very important, very interesting conclusion," Carbonell said. It is this: that hominins which emerged from Africa and settled in the Caucasus eventually evolved into Homo antecessor, and that the latter populated Europe not 800,000 years ago, but at least 1.3 million years ago."

damn, you lack basic reading comprehension

By differently you mean wrong?

In all fairness, we don't really know who he was talking to, ergo, not really sure what he meant.

I just had a crash meeting with black people everywhere and as of right now the Jury is still out on the subject. I'll post back here when I have confirmed the decision made by all the black people everywhere !

This could take forever. I was just told the other day that Negro was no longer acceptable. Can we get this decision in writing please?

I will add this to the list of items to be discussed very shortly at the emergency town hall brought about by this extraordinary finding with all black people everywhere

On behalf of whitey, we appreciate it.



err, ummm . . . you have a list? What else is on it? Open to suggestions?

Blacks can still be the real Jews, though, right?

Who are you asking? All blacks everywhere or Mr. Whitey ? :1orglaugh

If negro is an acceptable term today then so is refering to asians as "chinamen" and italians as "WOPs".

You are a disgrace to your race, whatever it is.

Would you mind explaining to the rest of the class as to why an outdated racial term such as "negro" is still perfectly acceptable?

Because I have heard people of color tell me it is. Are you a Negro?

I was talking to the original poster. and i meant that they still hold that we originated in africa, europe was just inhabited earlier than thought... not earlier than africa.

you would think that they would have evolved somewhat in the past 1.3 million years

evolution showcase
 

no shit, let us know when your race makes it to THIS level ...

People are such idiots.. 99% of the world needs to go back to elementary school and have the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt me" beaten into their skulls.. There'd be a hell of a lot less idiocy if people actually grew up...

lol... do you even know who your dad is?

yeah why, you guys wanna hookup? Maybe you can trade fantastic 4 uniform ideas for boating trips :1orglaugh

Obviously we can not include those who convert to Islam to avoid prosecution. I'm not sure, anymore. I think Bill Cosby is the whitest black man who exists, though, next to Wayne Brady. :error

"Negro" is Spanish for black. You have something against Spanish? Are you a racist?

Please approach random black men on the street, strike up a conversation, and all the while refer to him as a negro.

Report back the results please. there should be no problem since negro is perfectly acceptable in the year 2008.

Too bad they found only a jaw bone

Negroes don't like Spanish speakers? That's so racist!

No it doesn't. Try READING.

Then why do they still call it the United NEGRO College Fund if it's so unacceptable?

I thought this was going to be a duplicate thread about the death of the founder of Popeye's Chicken.

If you look at a great white shark or an aligator today and compare one from 50 million years ago you won't find many differences.

Probably because 70 years ago, when they were named, negro was a universally accepted racial term.

http://www.uncf.org/

Now it seems even they are moving in a direction away from united negro college fund and more towards UNCF.

Today, when negro is used outside of a historic context you raise a few eyebrows. Especially when trying to use it as a racial term in a modern context. Which is exactly why I think it's no longer acceptable to be used as such.

Sorry if it's so unacceptable they'd change the name. They don't. So negro IS acceptable. So is colored. NAACP. The C stands for COLORED. Any black person that doesn't like it can suck my dick. Those terms are more correct thna AFRICAN American. Obama is an African American because his dad was from Kenya. Most blacks in the US would have to go back at least 7-8 generations before finding someone in their family that actually came from Africa.

You mean uneducated people don't believe in evolution.
