Not only did you spit in the faces of black people by co-opting their experiences for your own personal fun, you continue to spit in their faces by pandering to whatever pre-conceived notions you think they might have because they are black and have dreads.

It's weird--you say your mother is a mix of who ever else landed on the eastern shores of Canada in the past few hundred years. Wouldn't that include black people? Oh, right, they don't count unless you're trying to have a little fun with them.

I think you're looking to interpret things in any way you can to make yourself anger. i am not spitting in anyone's face. I don't hate any groups, just some single people with in those groups.

and I have no idea what you are talking about about pre-conceived notions about blacks with dreads. I say it to them because it's funny and no on eI have ever said it was mad. They always laugh and we talk for a bit.

As for my family, I wouldn't be anything less than I am if there some African blood. my point is I have never heard a single person in my family mention having black relatives nor are they any African people in that community. By that same notion I might away say I might be part Chinese.

Who said I'm angry? And who said you hate people? Why are "angry" and "hate" your immediate conclusions?

The preconceived notion you carry around with you is that a black person with dreads would want to talk with you about their hair. Did it ever occur to you that they're just trying to be polite? Or that you may be the 5th white person that day to comment on their hair?

I really, really hate the word mulatto. It's extremely offensive.

I have heard a lot of people do. I didn't know what else to use and mulatto is whey they called me.

I've always been confused about that. I was called it by black women, never men and many people say it is a rude word.

If you can offer a less hostile word I would be happy to amend my post.

Done.
Like I said, I'm not trying to troll or argue. I appreciate the heads up.

But as for "person of colour" I would never use that. To me that term in nuts. To me is says "non-European." Basically it labels what someone is not rather than what they are.

Aside from that the rest are good. I'll to use those more in the future.

Thanks.

Is there a point to this "Black Like Me" movie of the week, "we are all HUMAN~," Black-people-discriminate-too moment of yours, or did you just feel some special need to come up to black folk and tell us how we act towards other black people? 'Cause it's not like that's something we don't know...being black and all. *eyeroll*

Well when you go to a place specifically marked BLACKFOLK and there's white folks in there, yeah youre gonna get testy. Because the whole point in coming to a place called BLACKFOLK is to be with other BLACKS. Again, we cant have something that white people arent all up in and demanding answers about.
