My whole point is that I think it's ridiculous there are pages and pages dedicated to trying to find the right word to call a black person as if that will end racist attitudes if you recite the correct magic words.

Why not just call a black person black? You just did. 

It's a perfectly normal, acceptable, adequate and existing word. Yet, you spend time scouring the web looking to find better words for black people. Does that makes sense to you?

I do just call black people black people, I was just searching the web to see if Chads prediction was right about the term people if colour will be considered racist and offensive and it already is by some people.
My girlfriend calls black people coloured, maybe she's under the impression that calling black people black is racist now I don't know.
I just find it funny everyone thinks these slight differences in words are so important and all the confusion around it won't ever be sorted out because everyone wants to feel excluded and offended by everything


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
