Gee, ANOTHER 'N-word' to worry about! LOL!

How much of a percentage of Cherokee must I be to be considered 'Native American'?

Actually, I'm not white. More of a ruddy, actually. I am offended to be called white!

[mrkirker]

Yes, I wanna be called a Scotts-American!

[bluesea112]

Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't their own organization have a college fund that includes the word "negro"; named as such to advertise that they discriminate against white, asian, hispanic, and native american people so black racial extremists will give financial support?

They need to learn that they cannot have their cake and eat it too.

You and me, buddy. Actually I prefer Scots-Irish-Germano-Anglo-Franco-Cherokee. :D

Hmmmm. What a concept. You mean that you find something a bit bogus about the "United Negro College Fund", the "Indiana Black Expo", the "Miss Black America Beauty Pageant", the "Congressional Black Caucus", as nauseum? :rolleyes:

Hey that sounds like segregation.

Eewwwwwww! You said the "S" word!

The fact that you listed 'white' first may be racist. You should fix your list immediately and possibly just remove 'white' from it in order to not offend the PC police! :D

It should be alphabetically sorted, right? ;)

[oldogy]

What does a question about "race" on the census form suggest other than racism? Some of our liberal stuffed shirt over educated fools in government needs to know for some reason. Now, why??????? Can someone make a logical explanation to this ol' country boy!

Negro is nothing more that a fancy word for black. Just goes to show you give them a fancy word and they think your making fun of them. Negros have no class whatsoever. Hairflip.

There is no such thing as an african american. You are an american or not. You skin color makes you a negro. Hairflip again.

[JohnBrainard]

How about reverse alphabetical? Somehow I don't think we could get away with that.

Now blue,

You can't go pointing out any of their inconsistencies, that would be racist!

Where is the Miss WHITE America Pageant, the National Organization for the Advancement of White People, The United White College Fund, and the National White Caucus etc?? THAT would be racist, and we know only white people can be racists. :mad:

I refer to myself as a Confederate American. :eek: :D :D Can I get this on the census form????????:eek:

[JohnBrainard]

I am CIA, Cherokee Irish American. ;)

I'm not all that sure where my grandparents and their grandparents came from, so... I want an option for "Christian, Conservative, Husband, Father American"!

[topper]

I would put down HUMAN as my race.

[red14]

I would put down HUMAN as my race.

I'm thinking Steeplechase.
:rolleyes::D

Daytona 500?

[cycloneman]

Hay who had that pic of the black guy in that space suit with the naacp or was it nassa on it. dont remember but i sure would like to see it again. fit right in here

[ponycar17]

Yes, I wanna be called a Scotts-American!

I wanted to be called an Irish-Cherokee-American but I was afraid that everyone would refuse to sell me alcohol if they knew that... :eek:;)

Joe Kennedy was an Irishman too. I don't think anyone ever refused him a drink.

Haha, I was referring to the common thinking that the Irish like it but the 'Indians' don't handle it well... ;):D

I think, if you check history, the inverse is true also.:cool:;):D

Probably so... :D;)

[Bobitis]

If the census is a head counting tool, why is race even considered?

Seems like the ones that want us all to be color blind (government), are the ones that always interject it.

I've been in this country over 50 years, and have seen 1 census form. ONE!
If I happen to get this one, I'll problably answer N/A.

The question is racist by its nature and has no bearing on numbers in any given district.

The whole thing is a farce.
If I'm a legal alien harboring illegal aliens, do you honestly think I'm going to tell the truth?:eek:
If I'm a criminal, would I even respond?

The fed already has all the info they need. They just want to spend/waste more tax dollars.

The IRS knows who works.
The state knows how many kids are in school, who their parents are, and if they qualify for free lunch. Welfare recipients are also known by the state, as are those that are unemployed or anyone else collecting benefits.

You have to be registered in order to vote.
If you don't vote, you should have no say in the matter.

If the whole concept of the census is about equal representation, voter registration is the only thing that should matter.

Or am I missing something?:confused:

[Redhand]

Since the NAACP refers to De selves as Colored Peoples, Why isn't there a category for Colored people?:confused::D:D:D

[Jim K]

"Negro" is the Spanish word for "black" (masculine singular). It was originally thought by both races to be better and more acceptable than other (then) common terms.

Why don't they just say "black?" I am not black, but I think most black people are more comfortable with being called black. I refuse to be called Caucasian. As I am not from Caucasia. I am Italian-American. So I either check white or other or European-American if they have that.

[38 special]

I dont give a damn what you are. I just might not like you,no matter what you say you are- how's that.It's my American right.

[Bobitis]

I still want to know why 'race' is an issue when the census is supposed to be about numbers.

Or is that a racist question?:confused:

The fed is making me a racist!:eek:
Nice! :eek::rolleyes:

Make me a racist when there isn't an issue.:mad:
