Do North Carolinians view D.C. or Atlanta as their closest major city?

How am I crossing the line? I've said all along if you're black you can say it you're not you shouldn't.

You said you're black, you can say it.

The other poster isn't black apparently, he shouldn't say it.

I fail to see the confusion here.

And again. The fact you use a heinous word and equate it to a celebrated city nickname. But obviously, your ignorant and the worst type of racist. The ones who aren’t just upfront with their biased views and use their little dog whistles. It’s annoying. Just say what you really think so we know to let you go around being ignorant.

Don't play dumb. You know what you did. Way back in your OP you said "Chocolate City". I said you shouldn't say that unless your black.

Correct.

I’ll just leave it at that. A great summary of your ignorant views.

Sorry you think I'm ignorant for thinking that non black people should never refer to DC as Chocolate City.

"Chocolate City" is a nickname that Black foks came up with. It's in no way racist for a non-Black person to point that out as a simple matter of fact.

THIS. It's the weirdest thing.
