Ok, in the dictionary the word black is synonomous to almost any negative word you can think of.

The word white is synonomous to almost any postive word you can think of.

So couldn't there have been a better description of races besides

"black people" and "white people"


I mean it sounds quite questionable to me.

Just wanted to see your thoughts.

May I just say, I LOVE YOUR NAME!

Ok these are the lists from Thesaurs.com

I think black or white is used to describe a person you are searching out or talking about. I think it's time for a new term. how bout vanilla and chocolate? pale and dark. anglo and afro? black is not positive verbage. white to me is not positive either. I am quick to correct someone who mistakes me for a white person.

Light side, dark side. I can't say why things are like that.

Des this only counts if you learn it in prison from someone in the Nation, like Malcolm did.

The only truly 'white' people I know are goths. And they're pretty dark. And the only truly 'black' people I've seen are chimney sweeps. And they're always cockneys.

'Black' and 'White' aren't even accurate descriptions of the pigments in our skin.

So for a more visually accurate description....

How about Pinkish Peach and Brown?

Or maybe when it's sunny: Lobster Red and Brown

Or in Hollywood: Fake Brown and Brown.

lol

Seriously though, maybe 'People' would do?

this dude is atrocious, bleak, depressing, depressive, dismal, dispiriting, distressing, doleful, dreary, foreboding, funereal, gloomy, horrible, mournful, ominous, oppressive, sad, sinister, somber, and threatening, but just in racial terms.

What's up with the "To Des, May I just say I LOVE YOUR NAME?"

Were you trying to post under one of your fake accounts and got confused?

all I have to say is there is no reason to even say white or black, its all a social construction anyway, there is no difference between my self or any other person we are all people

XD I think the only reason black people are called black is because im sure many Africans that came along as slaves were darker..and brown was already taken. I don't think too many people think about "black", and "negative" when they are calling a black person black.

Big time drama ....People LOVE to assume in this group, so I have noticed.


Anyhow back on subject, I don't know why you even brought this up.

You seem to post quite a few 'black and white' topics. Making it seem that you think every white person is either racist, or a in the closet racist; more of what they are willing to let 'black' people know about. Hidden motive.

Correct me if I'm wrong on this, and as much as it may look like ...I'm not trying to start anything other than wanting to know why you even brought this up ....

Am I right in assuming this isn't directed at me?

That being said, talking about race issues is a lot more interesting than talking about whether or not someone uses a fake profile and petty shit like that.
