And the bottoms of their feet and hands are PINK. We should call them BLINKS.

Know what would be incredibly sad? If Brandon from Survivor Africa really posted something and was so pathetically needy that he actually prefaced his posts
with "Hey it's Brandon from Survivor Africa" as if that gave him some authority or something.

black is actually sometimes more inclusive. people who are immigrants from Africa or other places don't want to be called "African-American" so
black works for them. Also, people who come from Latin America and the Carribbean who are black may identify as Hispanic rather than African American, but the
term black encapsulates them.

Most black people today have never lived in Africa, so they are NOT African Americans. They are simply Americans like the rest of us.
