I also have always found it funny that they take offense at the word "Negro" yet it is the accurate anthropological term.

Oh, and how about the political incorrectness of the full name of the NAACP????!!!! I can't believe they didn't change their name 30 years ago.

I guess Zac doesn't think they should be called anything any different than him. I really don't think I'm prejudiced, but sometimes that's just the easiest way to describe someone, by the color of their skin.

Eddie tells our people that he is really the only African American in our church, because he was born and raised there!! They love that.
