WHEN I WAS YOUNG I USE TO SAY SHE WAS BLACK BECAUSE I DIDNT LISTEN TO WHITE PEOPLE MUSIC (EXCEPT MAROON 5, THEY BE JAMMING), BUT I LOVED HER MUSIC SO MUCH I JUST HAD TO CALL HER BLACK, EVEN THOUGH I KNEW SHE WAS WHITE.
To Fuzzybear
Thanks for the reply it’s always something I kept in the back of my mind. I’ll need to research it and in the future I’ll try to leave a answer on this board if it still exists. Like you said probably a combination of things.
A gentle reply to Fuzzybear
This board is getting messy and can’t tell if I’m responding to you or anon, so I’ll make it for both and very respectful. If you reread some of the things I wrote I was slamming the Italians with the most vulgar language to get my point across about stereotyping. You may be a bit naive (meaning innocent lack of knowledge) about some of the slandering against Italians. The Tar brush was directed at Italians not blacks so I’ll opolagize for any misunderstandings About that. I will still obstinate however about everone being the same race but I think you will concur that we’re all human. Also blood types, there are only about 4 major blood types best of my knowledge, mine being AB negative. I’m sure there are blood experts out there feel free to contribute I’m willing to learn as long as who ever keeps it civil.. Some of the people you’ve mentioned in your last reply, yes I’ve heard of some and more than realize the phenotypes and differences in the caucasoid race. I’m getting tired so please excuse typos. and A white person like me and many others don’t get offended about the fact that all races will have a common ancestor when going far enough back. But even the “experts” can’t agree on it. Be it only one hundred thousands years, about the last ice age which is nothing or a million. If they can’t tell there’s no way for you and I to Know. Please take care.
some heavy discussion going on here.
BTW Please dont use anonymous as a name. Anything is better than that.

I’m sorry you feel that way, so if I have offended you I’m sorry . Hmmm, let me think, I know! How about ferret, but don’t expect everyone to catch on the change that fast.
ferret is good.
Let me try attack this stereotypical nonsense from a different angle in a heart felt way. Now I’ve defended the Italians tenaciously or slammed them depending on your view point. When I see some of the slandering of them, yeah I feel compelled to get defensive. I wouldn’t expect anything less from any other group. Now everyone can call me acrimonious and misanthropic but I’m honest.
Irish and Sottish actors are also listed on this celebrity web sight or just look up some of these actors. Now before someone jumps my ass, I know people they are caucasian and white. Robbie Coltrane, Sheena Easton, Sean Connery, Colin Farrrell, Stephen Rea and my favorite Jolene Blalock. These people are hardly fair or pal but rather dark. When I first saw Jolene Blalock on Star Trek (t’pol) my breath was taken away. I said to myself (sigh) that’s the girl I want to marry. Yeah I know people she’s married to an millionaire and nobody here including myself would get the time of day or a snowball chance in hell with this hot babe. Jolene Blalock’s surname means black hair in Celtic or Gaelic, I read this when looking up her info.
Now what I did not think was, O.K what is she or should I get in her face and ask what are you. Certainly not go into a chat room like this and scrutinize this human being. The same typical nonsense, are you a guinea girl or Jew? Or you have some feature that makes you look like this or that. Truth is I was stiff as a broom handle for a week because of this dark Irish/Scottish beauty. I think that every one should get the same consideration I would give them.
