From the mouth of those in the know, (my teenage grandchild), not all blacks are from Africa, so the term is obsolete. See, they are learning something?

Oh, what am I saying...Jews never suffered in world history. It's not like millions of them were summarily executed - many after being forced into despicable conditions in slave labor camps. And it's not like many people still hold Jews in contempt. You know..."they control all the money", etc, or that there are actual countries that want to destroy Israel. Never mind. All's good. |

I have a good friend that is African, from Africa. I also have a relative that is African from Africa. Both are white. Neither refer to themselves as Anglo Africans or White Africans. From the REAL Africans that I am acquainted with, they consider it a slight that our black Americans refer to themselves as African Americans, when there is hardly any commonality other than genealogically diluted blood. Whether or not they are speaking through cultural or pride bias, one can only speculate.

Like this thought.

Personally, I would prefer to be "Caucasian" rather than "White" because I am not white, I'm actually a shade of beige or tan, depending on how much time I spend in the sun. Hey, that is just me. I was not raised to think some people are good or bad or inferior or better because of their race. I was taught to recognize different cultures and appreciate the beauty that diversity brings to the world. I guess not everybody sees it that way, and to me, that is sad. |

I’ve never really understood the African American term. After all, we all have African ancestors. In fact, we are all cousins (other than direct ancestors, etc.). I don’t see why we can’t get along and put this ugly racist crap that seems to have flourished in the last four years behind us.

Is THIS ongoing news from Chicago (and other violence in metro areas) reported by Mainstream Media??? -perhaps a passing mention, but... of course not - it simply DOES NOT fit the narrative for Media and BLM.
It's STUNNING that mayors/council etc of these communities are not tarred and feathered out of office. Imagine if ONE Police Officer shot and grazed a citizen ---- HELL would break loose in the Mass Media and BLM. But these ongoing B on B murders on our city streets - barely a mention, and shhhhh by movement leaders et al. What a disgrace... ------------------------------------------- Chicago's weekend shootings kill at least 13, including 1-year-old boy, 10-year-old girl, reports say Chicago faced another bloody weekend, with at least 13 people killed in shootings – including a 1-year-old boy and a 10-year-old girl, prompting new fears about a violent summer ahead. The violence, which followed a deadly Father's Day weekend, started Friday evening when a 42-year-old man was shot in the head while walking on the sidewalk in the Austin neighborhood, police said. On Saturday night, a stray bullet flew through an apartment window in the Logan Square neighborhood and struck the 10-year-old girl, according to police spokesman Roberto Garduno. The girl later died at a hospital. Preliminary information showed the gunfire came from a group who had been shooting at each other on the block, he said. No one was in custody Sunday. Earlier Saturday in the Englewood neighborhood on the city's South Side, a 1-year-old boy who was riding in the back of a car driven by his mother was shot when someone opened fire from another car. The mother suffered a graze wound to the head. The boy was identified as Sincere A. Gaston. Police said the motive for the shooting was unclear. Superintendent David Brown pleaded with the public for someone to come forward with details. Around 11:30 a.m. Saturday, 17-year-old Antiwon Douglas was killed. Police said he got into a fight before someone from a large crowd that was gathered in the Humboldt Park neighborhood on the city's West Side fired shots. At least nine other people died in shootings through Sunday. The violence has prompted activists and local leaders to call for more state and federal support. "It's out of control where even innocent children are losing their lives," said neighborhood activist Raul Montes Jr., who planned a Sunday-evening vigil on the city's southwest side. He called for federal intervention while a state legislator announced a new task force to address underlying issues. "Violence is a result of poverty, and must be addressed with human services and support," state Rep. La Shawn Ford, a Chicago Democrat, said in a statement. The group called on federal, state and city leaders for support.

I use their first name and that seems to work well. They pretend not to notice I’m Irish and I pretend not to know their black. Neither of us is offrnded.
