Are there any black people on NS?

[Wamitoria]

I was taught that "African-American" was more polite if you are talking about black people from the U.S., but that "black" was also acceptable. I use both.

Depends on the school, region, and generation. But many many impressionable children were taught that black is a mean thing to call someone and that "African-American" is what you should say.

It may be dumb but it's what many people were taught. There are of course exceptions. It seems that African-American is less in style now too. I know some of you are still in school. Don't know what you are being taught now

We aren't being taught anything by our teachers. However, most of my black friends prefer to be referred to as "black."

Oh, I confused him with someone else.

Nah, he's an avid white nationalist.



^That's his flag.

How is he a white nationalist? He's black!

I don't know. He's got some kind of Uncle Ruckus thing going on.

Yeah, I was thinking of Southern Patriots or someone. My bad.

[Conserative Morality]

"Obviously mighty whitey should oppress me."

[Galonica]

I'm black. Well, technically I'm mulatto-white and black- but traditionally, the U.S. government would define me as black.
-Yes I'm American.

[Sucrati]

I'm sure there are black people on Nation States, why would you want to know, are you planning something?

[The BranRiech]

why does someone even want to know what race people are?

this thread is just racist

[The Parkus Empire]

Yes but Negro has no negative connotation. I can understand with the tern nigger because historically it has been used in a negative fashion, but I see nothing "wrong" with Negro.
I'd also like to note niger means black in Latin.

"because historically it has been used in a negative fashion"

[Marcheria]

Blacksupersaiyans. The name explains it all.

In an increasingly international time such as this when you can speak with anyone from all over the world the fad of having to call everyone "African American" becomes quite silly. Especially since most of the time one has no idea where someone is from until after one knows them. I'm just saying: Forgive people the brainwashed americans! I was one of them. Whenever a kid in my elementary school would say "black" to describe a human the teacher would quickly interrupt "African american!"

This was just a couple years before people started getting the internet but after computers were used in schools.

"because historically it has been used in a negative fashion"

Negro has been historically used in a negative fashion?

[Distruzio]

Can't say I've ever been offended by it. Neither has my father.

[Terra Agora]

I dont say Negro (I much prefer to say black) but I do use it in essays etc and I have never received a negative comment do to it.

[The Parkus Empire]

Negro has been historically used in a negative fashion?

It's common use dates to a time when when a "negro" was considered inferior, so yeah. It would be like using "concubine" to refer to a mistress today.

[Meryuma]

That's Cobhanglica. We're talking about The Southron Nation.

Actually, we weren't.

Southron Nation is not a Confederate-themed nation. It's some kind of Rhodesian thing.

Now Cobhanglica, that guy is asking for it. He's mixed race with a significant amount of black ancestry, but he's a white supremacist and has a Confederate flag on his nation.

It is Confederate Theme. He's a proud Southern Nationalist.

[Terra Agora]

I was talking about Southron Nation. NFP said it was a "Rhodesian thing" And I said "It is confederate themed" etc.

FUUUU-

My Southron account has nothing to do with Rhodesia. It is firmly a neo-confederate anarcho-capitalist nation. I changed flags to the original secessionist flag of Georgia, to represent a shift in political philosophy for the Southron Nation. I'm not white supremacist. I'm not white. I'm not neo-confederate. I'm southern nationalist.

Now that I think about it, someone once asked if I was Cobhaglia (sp?) but I never understood the question. Now I know that it is a person on this site. Hmm... bastard be stealing my schtick!

I understand. I can't believe I missed that though...

[Planeta de los Muertos]

I've got Jamaican ancestry...so maybe.

[Nova Romaion]

I'm half-black, growing up in a predominately black country; so take that!

Yeah, I confused you with someone else. There is someone else with a similar name who has a Rhodesian-themed nation.

You should talk to him if you have the chance. He's quite entertaining, though I sometimes feel sorry for him. He definitely is a white supremacist, even though he is not white, and he gets angry with his family for their sloppy breeding.
