    I am not getting many "like"s today. Being obtuse is not going to get you many either. :cool2:

    Black Americans have been honored on US gold coins.

    Now I finally understand the black Santa controversy. Guess we better put Lady Liberty up there with Santa as characters that can only be white.

    That might be the hat you stuck a feather in and called it Macaroni, back in the day.

    You sure that's not something from Robin Hood (the Disney cartoon movie at least)?

    I have come here to read common sense and conspiracy theorists...and we're all out of common sense.

    (see, @HCP , this is in reference to a movie called "They Live", where Roddy Piper said "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubblegum"

    The term African American is offensive. There's not a black person on the planet that will be offended if you say black. That is what we want to be called. Yes, I will go ahead and speak for my entire race on this one.

    Offensive? Not sure I completely agree with that due to this form, however the US Census form does affirm your notation for the group "black" is an applicable choice. Interesting they don't break out the white race types like they do the black ones. Perhaps it should? Or are African Americans and Negros black? And thus should squish that grouping to just "black"?

    http://www.census.gov/2010census/pdf/2010_Questionnaire_Info.pdf

    Eventually, they wont even put race or gender if the crazies have their way. Everyone will identify as whatever they want. lol.

    What? Fuck that form... How in the actual fuck are you going to tell me what's offensive to us? We're the only demographic whose name is a trend... This exemplifies how we feel on what we should be called:

    I think this is stupid. You can just see people getting together in a board room saying, "Hey, let's put a black person on a coin, oh and we can have it be a woman to boot". What's next, a Caitlyn Jenner coin so we can have a transgender person on a coin? Fuck this shit, seriously.

    If they really wanted to have a black person on a coin, why not put Barak Obama on there? At least there would be a legit reason since he was a PRESIDENT.
