2005-08-05 [Leelo]: You want to help me out on this wiki? I could use some lol

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: Sure. Though I don't think you need a lot.

2005-08-05 [Leelo]: haha I just need some more sarcasim

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: I dunno. I'm not good at that kind of stuff. That Deal With It site has like 60. Maybe you can use some of those.

2005-08-05 [Leelo]: lol nah I won't take from they're wiki ahha

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: I'm just saying, it'd be easier, and they're already alike...

2005-08-05 [Leelo]: yeah I know, but I wouldn't feel right about taking from they're awesome minds :D

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: Their awesome minds. Mneh, it was an idea.

2005-08-05 [Snowboarding Hobitz]: the phrase "african american" just makes me mad, they're AMERICANS i don't call myself a asian american, or a europian american!!! you are only african american when you imigrate from africa!!! after taht you're an american like everyone else...oh and by the way, "native" americans imigrated to north america just like everyone else *and i am part "native" american. so no, i'm not racist* i'm jsut tired of bull shit labels that we all feel we have the rightto

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: Yeah, I know. I've talked about the topic a couple of times myself. Personally, I wouldn't care. Some people do, and throw hissy fits about it.

2005-08-05 [Leelo]: ok

2005-08-05 [Snowboarding Hobitz]: sorry, i was just reading the previous comments and felt the need to type my thoughts, i mean, if i was to move to africa, would i be lables "american african" it uses the same logic...and its equaly as stupid

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: I'm not flipping over it.

2005-08-05 [Leelo]: I'm confused but ok lol.

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: But I think you'd just be called American unless you applied for African citizenship.

2005-08-05 [Leelo]: yep yep

2005-08-05 [Snowboarding Hobitz]: true...but still, to still title them as "african american", i mean, sure, it tells us the race that they are...but in the long run the government tries to make everyone happy by coming up with "african american", "native american" and then there's white...i mean, i don't flip out because i'm called white...it's what i am, I'm from an asian family, infact, i'm a first generation american in my family, but i don't make them label me as "asian", i don't look asian, i look white, and yet i can still sleep soundly at night knowing it

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: It's because, back in the 60's, Black was an offensive term when describing people of color. It's not just white though, the politically correct term is Caucasian. The funny thing is though, if you check the SOL tests, they used to be "politically correct" until just recently. Instead of Caucasian and African American, the choices are Black and White, but everything else is the same.

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: And they have different ethics in different countries so I don't think you'd be called American African, their government probrably isn't as obsessed with politically correctness as ours is.

2005-08-05 [Snowboarding Hobitz]: yeah, our country is out trying not to offend people....it's just annoying.

2005-08-05 [The New Deal]: just a little. But nowadays you can't be sure anymore. Some girls get mad when you call them girls, they'd rather be called young women or whatever. Old people get mad when you call them old, they'd rather be called seasoned, what kind of sense does that make?
