Well you could have called him a, "negro" or, "colored". That apparently seems to be okay since those words are in the NAACP and Negro Leagues and the National Negro College Fund.

Political correctness has never been my thing... it never will be my thing, either. If I offend someone then they'll just have to get over it.

...Except those organizations were founded decades ago, and one of those no longer exists. So while he may not be considered a racist, he'd sure as hell be out of touch...

which makes me wonder why they haven't even bothered to change the name. Even for the outdated reasons. You'd think they would try to make it sound more modern.

I refuse to call black people african americans. If you wanna talk about polically correct, then let's start with the euphemism "african american" substituted for the word "black." By calling them african americans, we are automatically labeling them. We are saying that first of all...they are Americans...which some of them may not be, you never know these days who's an american citizen and who isn't, and we are also saying that they are all africans. However, we are completely aware that not every black person comes from Africa. There are plenty of jamacians, haitians, and whatever else there is around here that isn't Africa. It's as simple as this...they're black. They're black...and I'm white. What's the big fuckin' deal? Oh wait, I remember now...it's these guilty white liberals who feel that they know what's best for everyone, and the best way to bury their guilt is to remove all emotion and identity from society.

Oh yea, and it was totally retarded for someone to call you out on being politically correct. We all know that political correctness is a tool for covering up the truth. Shame on those who cannot handle/accept the truth and need to brainwash themselves with society's slogans and newspeak.

It all depends on your race really. Most white people will say "that black guy" and most black people will say "that white guy". People of race are usually surrounded by their race so it's common to see people calling them by their skin color, nothing wrong about it. Which is why it frustrates me why people get offended by it.

This policitcal correct bullshit has ruined WWE. No one has the balls to be bold and do big exciting things in the business anymore.

I find it funny how people say i can't call someone a retard but can say something else that means the exact same thing.

Exactly, it makes no sense whatsoever. I guess it's through people using terms such as 'retard' offensively which means they can't go around labeling metally ill people retards.

Fucking retards.

If you tell the kid that he's a loser now, it won't hurt him so bad later in life when he hears that word. And how parents worship their children now days and treat them as if they're angels who do no wrong. They use soft terms all the time and have to pump these kids full of "I'm a winner" bullshit and that everybody is special. If everybody was special, what's so special about being special ? If everyone is special doesn't that ruin the whole meaning of it ? People are just so soft in general now days. It pisses me off, seriously. Sorry if I'm ranting, well I guess this is the rant section but ya know. I tend to go on on one. This probably has nothing to do with the subject but it just reminded me of all this.

......wow.

Sorry but I think your post here is pretty stupid. I don't know how much you love your kids but I certainly wouldn't be calling my kid a loser if he came last in something.

The whole point of it is so your kids grow up in a positive light instead of growing up to be bitter assholes who think it's right to go around and insult people on a daily basis. Fuck, judging from your post, I'm afraid to know how many times your kids have walked up to other kids and called them a loser/fat/retard/faggot. A kid like that deserves the back of someone's hand to their face. It's not that I'm a softy but in this day and age where people are killed on a daily basis, wars are going on and pretty much everyone is selfish, a kid needs to be taught to be polite and proper and positive so they don't end up fucked up like the rest of the world. It's rather refreshing to see that some people in this ugly world of ours still have a heart. It shows them that not coming in firt place doesn't mean you're a big loser, you just need to work harder at whatever it is you didn't win with. It gives you the modivation to do better and perfect it. Call a kid a loser and his morale goes down and he gives up.

On another note, I find it funny how people get all upset over a guy calling a black guy black but when people make fun of other people, everyone jumps right in and has some fun.

Um...that would be just stereotyping, not racism.

I'll tell you something that came straight out of my BLACK friends' mouth.

When called an African-American, she said "why do you call me African-American? I'm not from Africa or America. Just call me black."
