I know everyone has got into the habit of using the word black when referring to someone, but I personally find it a bit offensive, and I'm not even 'black'.

People have so many different coloured skintones, some African women have more milkier complexions, others darker. No one who is the actual colour 'black' exists, so why now, in the year 2007 do we use it to describe a person who's skin tone could range from light to dark? Chinese people are often referred to as yellow in a derogatory way, but when describing a Chinese person, we don't say 'that yellow guy'.

How do 'black' people feel about this word? Perhaps if people weren't such xenophobes and read up on other cultures, we could maybe learn to identify physical traits with their respective cultures i.e. being able to see the different between a dark-skinned somalian woman and a jamaican woman, as opposed to seeing them both as just 'black.

I heard that by 2050 Hispanics are going to out-number White and Black people in the US. Does anyone here feel this is wrong and should not happen? If it does happen America culture will be gone. I mean, this is the United States of America NOT the US of Latin America/Mexico.

Please don't me wrong, I'm not a racist or anything like that, it just that I was born in America and I love America and I would hate to see America being invaded and overatake

When i am on the south side of chicago(predominantly black) in some neighborhoods they are very dirty and trashy. When i go to the north side neighborhoods(predominantly white) they streets and homes are always looking very clean. Why cant black people keep there property and the neighborhoods they live in looking decent. I am black also and i come from a diversed neighborhood where everything is great.

If you encounter a racist question, say something random and scientific. Other Answerers like it and it always works.
Ideas:

liquid xenon
∫ sin [x]^2 dy/dx = 1/2 (x – cos(x) sin(x))
igneous rock
pop tarts
stuffed animal
pizza


Any other ideas? Comments?

i'm talking a bit darker than human black... but same principal in a way. Since goths love black, do they wish they were black or do they think they are black metaphorically speaking. Do they think darkness surrounds them or are they darkness?
