Reading this, I don't think he/she (what are you!?) meant to be racist.

sorry for the double post

Everything from the blanket assumptions about "how it is" in the entire continent of Africa to the erroneous notion that calling black people black is some kind of insult in America.

..... dude ... seriously.
If that is how you think then I seriously am not going to argue with you. You may proceed to live in your own little world there.
Besides, you missed the entire point of what I said. I just agreed with what you said and you jump down my throat like I just blasphemed against everything logical. I might not live in America but I know enough about it to know that you are brought up being 'politically correct'. However, I have lived in Africa most of my life and the general attitude of it is as I said. Really in the end you are making a fuss out of nothing.

Yes I think I can tell you don't live in the US, we no longer differentiate ourselves through "color" anymore, (well at least in some respects) people really don't say "blue" collared or "white" collared jobs to differentiate social status anymore. There isn't that distinction of color in America like maybe that happens in Africa in respects with regards to colour stratifying one's social position through "blue" and "white" epithets. In America the blue colored collar work shirt has been replaced by the "golf shirt", and now their called "service sector jobs" not "blue" collar jobs or sometimes if its a real crappy job it's called "McJob" (NB the word McJob is a portmanteau of "Mc Donalds" and "Job" and it has nothing with the way Irish were treated in America.) Well not to backpedal, but in some cases, color does play a role like in America like in politics, it is heavy divide among the color line, there is the "Red" and "Blue," the former pertains to the Republican Party and the latter pertains to the Democratic Party.

And since you lived in Africa, what are your thought of artists and bands blending African music with Pop music, like Peter Gabriel, Paul Simon, or some African hip-hop? I would say I a fan of Peter Gabriel and I like the band Extra Golden, back to the subject what is your emotional reaction to those bands?

You made a totally bizarre post and I commented on it. You asked me a question and I answered it. Not sure how that's "making a fuss" or being "politically correct". Seems like you're making a much bigger fuss than I am to be honest.

It's alright. Most people who've lived in America their entires lives don't know anything about it either.

I somehow doubt you are capable of speaking for the general attitude of an ENTIRE CONTINENT.
