You're not exactly qualified to make that statement.

You do realize that Negro means Black right????? So black would be a correct term and people can call themselves whatever they want to.

You like to be called a cracker? Is that the proper terminology for a caucasian?
The proper term for a white person is a Caucasoid. We should shorten it to Caucas (LOL) like they shortened Negroid to Negro.

Caucas is almost like cracker, but cracker would probably be more synonymous with n*gger since it is seen as derrogatory to a lot of white people (kind of like honky). But I think Cauca would be a good compromise for those who want to refer to us as Negro in this day and age.

Since "negro" is a Spanish word, everyone using it must be a Hispanic sympathizer in favor of illegal immigration.

Pffffffft....act stupid on C-D if you want to, but you aren't crazy. You know what term to use, and despite this Negro nonsense you're spewing here, you know damn well that you aren't about to call a black person a Negro.

So its like whatever...I'm not gonna argue with you over the topic.

3- The Person Must Keep Himself, His Children and His Home Clean And Make The Surroundings In Which He Lives Comfortable and Attractive.

4- The Person Must Dress More Approximately For Work And For Leisure

5- The Person Must Make his Religion An Everyday Practice And Not Just A Sunday-- Go To-Meeting
Emotional Affair.

7- The Person Must Stop Charging His Failures Up To His “Whatever” And To Someone Else's Attitude.

8- The Person Must Overcome His Bad Job Habits

9- He Must Improve His Conduct In Public Places

A time when in some states, "negroes" were denied the right to vote by force and murder.

Sad, that you would post this crap and expect people to bob their heads in agreement.

What the hell is wrong with you people?
Some advice is just timeless - and she was smart enough to understand that you behave properly regardless of how others treat you.

Actually, I think this is wonderful advice...for ALL people and should be force fed to our kids the minute they begin to understand spoken language. It is about family values and taking PERSONAL responsibility.

I think 7 could be changed to: People should not blame their parents, their neighbors or other people for their failures. Learn harder, work harder.

Yea....treat me as badly as you want. Kick me, spit on me, disenfranchise me, laugh at me, and show me proper scorn.

But the most important thing is that I "behave properly."

Yassuh Boss!! I promise to be a good kneegrow and behave properly.

Unreal.
