What say you?

As long as blacks continue to use the word I see no problem with anyone else using it....

I would enjoy your company as a human being, even if I do disagree with some political ideas that you express here.

So my question is - why do you feel the need to make a point that you are a black person? Why should that matter?

I don't make it a point that I am 1/4 Irish, 1/4 German, 1/4 English, and 1/4 Swedish (oops - I just did!) but I do state that I am 100% an American - as are you.

I don't understand why some people make such an issue about skin color instead of acknowledging others as people.

I have lived my entire life in diverse neighborhoods - and it was only until I came to this site that I realized that some people think that Jim Crow and the Civil Rights era are still going on.

Let's just be civil to each other.

Peace,

Harrier.
It matters in the context of this thread. I'm black, haven't even heard of this "controversy" and have no intention of looking at the attached youtube video or any other "reporting" on what this woman said or did not say. That is strictly in answer to the thread title of the OP.
