The bottom line is that there has NEVER been peace at ANY TIME during the entire history of the world.
You can blame whoever you want. Everyone is guilty.
Everyone is guilty for the recession we're in, but who getting the most of the blame?
When you are found guilty in court they give you a sentence depending on the level of the crime you committed. I wonder what sentence would be issued for whites?
(Well here goes any chance I ever had to run for office…but as Dougie Fresh and Slick Rick said Heeere we go!)
As black, proud beautiful woman, I too was surprised when someone or something changed my racial "identity" to African-American. Was it the NAACP, was it the KLAN, was it the Reverend Al SHARPTON? As the Owl in the tootsie roll pop commercial stated, “The world may never know.”
I love being black. I mean I have to deal with racists, but I have such great skin.
I found out that while I had thought I was black for so many years, I was in fact MISTAKEN. NO, I'm now an African-A-bleeping-Merican. Wow, so I get to be Negro, Colored, Afro-American, Black and African-American and ALL in a few hundred <insert epithet here> years. Are my ancestors rolling in their watery graves? You betcha!
“African-American” makes blacks like look stupid. Stop changing our name! Stop Stop Stop! I know Nigerians, Senegalese, Blacks from England and the Caribbean and WHITE and INDIAN people who are ACTUALLY AFRICAN. I mean, how come those white and brown people aren't African Americans, too!!?
To make it even worse, the Black Americans I met in my youth all HATED Africa. Whoa, now since Africans living in the USA are highly educated and earn lots of $$ and do well in school, all blacks want to be African-American? Look, Africans may be great and awesome, but we black people all have our OWN cultures. Okay, you can’t just squeeze everyone in a tube and slap a STUPID, NONSENSE, INACCURATE term like “African-American” on it.
Remember: "Say it loud, I'm black and I'm proud!" A rallying cry, a cool phrase, and most importantly of all, EASY to say. WTF am I supposed to say now: "Say it Loud, I'm AFRICAN-AMERICAN and I'm proud?" Say THAT poo three times fast.
The other thing and forgive me for being a jerk--but I am black so I can get away with this--some of the black people I have met, God bless their under-educated souls, cannot even PRONOUNCE "African-American" adding even more to the ridiculousness factor. Thanks. No wonder I choose to live in an alternate reality.
But since you brought it up, I am confused about my own identity's label... most people would call me white, since I am a redhead with pale skin and blue eyes. However, I am Jewish, so any neo-Nazi/KKK type would NEVER refer to me as white. So I think I'll just call myself pink from now on!

(holds hand to forehead in mock pain.)
Well-put, to the point, and shares a wicked humor that I can relate to. Congratulations (even if you DO get angry responses !) Good 'take' on a VERY hot-button subject.

Probably not a lot different than the one issued for the Japanese. Ever read "The Rape of Nanking"?
The list goes on and on and on.
So who are you going to blame MORE? I can see who you WANT to blame for everything, but do you really think that's right?

Ummm.. Holy War, World War 1,2, The killing of the natives in the new world, The enslavement and racism toward blacks in Africa and around the world. Funding war in the Middle East and South America.. What the Japanese did to the Chinese was only to follow what Hilter did to the Jews. Europeans has always been the one in power and all of the Major Wars was caused by them or they had something to do with it.
Stop trying to make me look like a racist when History is on my side.

Wow! Just, WOW!!!!!
Holy War? Which one?
History is on your side? Your side of WHAT? Japan was carrying out the atrocities in China long before Hitler was even heard of.
Better go back to some reference books. And don't forget to note the dates, and who was actually involved.

Well if you're pink then I guess you can be considered a "colored" person.lol
