Slave

[jah_yout]

Thd American gymnast Gabby said she was bullied and teased back in the day by her teammate/s using that word...
Michelle Obama gets her face super-imposed on a late enslaved afrikan...

I remember on the Internet anytime some east African and an African descendant in the diaspora would argue the Ethiopians and Somalis would always draw for the slave card...

So what is the legacy of the word and concept?
Why do some see it as a weapon and some see it as a source of shame?

Too bad the so-called black president dare not touch this issue in-depth

cho man. just cut out this &quot;so-called black&quot; thing nuh?

He is black. Deal wid it.

Now, can we just discuss his bad/ineffective/unfair/whatever policies and not drag the man's race into this? *kissteet*

I think it is racist to think that as a black president, Obama must address all things pertaining to race. *kissteet again*

Before unnu blow a gasket...I usually oppose the term &quot;black&quot; to designate people of African descent as a racial classification

the trans-Atlantic African slave trade is an American and world issue... Not just a &quot;black&quot; issue...let's deal with the issues instead of emotionalism

Do you think Blacks benefited from any of them (for example, Auto Industry, and Bank Employees, Black Farmers, Black Universities)?
