Settle down, his usage of the word seems appropriate and he seems to approach the topic respectfully. That said, seems like a dopey topic to create a thread about.
IMO, there are white people of all different "shades", black people of all different shades, asian people of all different shades, etc. Who gives a crap we are all human beings....dopey topic.
His usage of the word is deliberate. He's obviously attempting to stir.
Not sure, but Africans are heavily discriminated against by American Negroes. I see it every day on campus, and saw it in the work place. I find the African Negroes to be better students and better workers than the American Negroes. I worked at a meat packing plant about 6 years ago and my line leader and crew leader were from Senegal. We used to speak German to each other and talk about futboll, since they were fans of Hagi from Romania and the one had lived in the UK and was a fan of Dan Petrescu at Manchester United. They also spoke French, plus their tribal language, plus a couple of other tribal languages. They're quite intelligent and really good people. As an employer, I'd hire African Negroes before I hired American Negroes.
And your reason for using the word "negro" several times in your post is why? To get a reaction or to make a point? . A lot of Africans certainly have different work ethics from Black Americans because of where they come from and because of the structure of their society. There isn't welfare over there...there's no other way out other than to get an education. They also haven't had a history of being negatively portrayed or racial discrimination towards them.
I'm an older person. Quiet, church going, respectful of others. If some of the terms I've seen used in this forum were used in conversation with me, or my family members, it would be insulting. I'm not a "PC" person, but it seems that there are some that are deliberately rude and hurtful.
The answer= Black Americans and Africans all come in DIFFERENT SHADES AND DIFFERENT COLORS!!!Thank YOU!!!
Go to Africa and you'll see that average African negro looks different than average American negro. Am I being understood myself clear?
Please try not to write your bull**** wherever you can.
