mmm... right... i my friend am classified as "African American" just like you...
you make it seem as if i am using the word Nigger loosely, as it so often is, but I am not. the word "nigger" as all know is a noun describing ignorant people. that is exactly why i said there were people of ALL races, taking upon the traits that you assume i believe are derived from one race alone.. yours and mine.

but it is not so
