OP here. Not insulted at all. I'm 43 so that's what I've called "officially" for half of my life.

Not OP but I believe there is a higher prevalence of sickle cell anemia among blacks.

Are you insulted if I call you black?

Do you feel all white people are guilty over slavery? All white Americans? Are you angry? Are you grateful that, despite the way your ancestors got here, YOU are here? How do you feel when people site statistics about the prevalence of (fill in the blank bad thing) amongst blacks? Are you embarrassed?

Do you think there really are any significant genetic differences between whites and blacks that are more than skin deep? That blacks are better at some things (taken as a group) and that maybe whites are better at other things, taken as a group?

Teach him to love and respect you and all women. It starts at home.

We need more black nerds. How can more happen? Why does doing well in school mean to some AA kids that they are "acting white" ?

Do you have any good crock pot recipes?

Do you know where your ancestors were from? Did you do a DNA test?

You asked for it. Fire away.
