whether people actually believe the nonsense they are fed or that they are
just so terrorized that they dare not question it.

They don't AFAIK. Who is "they" anyway? Aren't you generalizing/

they are those i generally call "blacks" because that is what they went by
when i was growing up. in my parent's generation they were called
"colored" in polite company. in old videos, they call themselves "negro."
for a while, they liked "afro-american" but that is no good today, when they

That depends on whether you came from a car-centric situation or not.
My hypothesis is that those who have no car-centric history from a young
age are generally clueless once they get their licenses (or not, but
that is another discussion) since they do not have a "sixth sense" of
stuff going
somehow blacks have become convinced that changing their name every few
years will somehow benefit them. i can't make heads or tails of it either.

is neither African, nor American? It's stupid. There
was nothing wrong with Negro. And if you don't like
French (or was it Spanish?), there was always the English

this civil rights thing is not exactly a 2 way street.

I once saw a speech given by David Duke? the head of the klan? Anyway, one
of his views was that Whites should be called "European American".
Now I certainly am not behind the klan, but I have to say, if we must call
Blacks "African American" then why don't we deserve others to go to the same
silly
i think civil rights are that you can offend chinese, but not blacks. i
guess it's complicated, so i'll just keep on insulting everyone.

It's because you are not supposed to say "chinese" -- "Asian" is the
correct term.
Funny story: My SIL tutors freshman football players at a large
university. She is sorta "mom" to a lot of them, she has 4 boys of her
own so these guys are just extended family in a lot of ways for her.
