You obviously have no colored friends Shemp. I have several, and more than half of them take offence at being called black or African American. It is derogatory to Tiger Woods mother to call Tiger black, and I have heard many people say that they hate being called black or African American because they are not, even though they may have some African in them down the line. They are neither African, nor black, and many are mixed race and you will see a backlash in society about the terms you think black people like. They do not like these terms. They don't like it Shemp, you are brain-washed by the mainstream media. They are mixed race. If you have black friends go ask them about all this and get back to us. That will be a long wait won't it. I am mixed race too by the way. OffWorld
