I have been reading some terrible topics outside A-U. They are about racism so what do you think about racism? I think that racism is a terrible thing and I cannot take racism.
What do you guys think about that some people call the darker-skinned negroes? I don't like that at all.

I agree that it's awful to judge people based on the color of their skin. In History we were just reading about the slave rights and the Civil War and such. It really is sad.

Okay that's cool. I like history. But I don't like when people think that only color skinned people can be slaves. We've been reading those things in history.

Uhhh don't we have rules about debates and controversial or political topics?

Personally, I don't see the problem with the term "negro". It is in no way derogatory. Literally translated, "negro" = "black" in Spanish. Black people used to call themselves negroes, as the politically correct term.

We have a no politics rule at A-U. The topic is not entirely political as such - yet - but please be very considerate if you continue the discussion.
Thanks.
