What's wrong with 'black'?

[ILuvFPC]

I agree w/ Sis Alvear... Who cares? Jesus don't care so why should we...

Has anyone noticed that alot of people, especially in southern culture, feel that need to cite a person's color even though that has nothing to do with anything... "I saw this black lady in the store that..." "There was a mexican man broke down on the side of the road who..." maybe thats just me but it gets on my nerves.. I'm not talking about trying to describe someone like a black guy in room full of white people, obviously the easiest way to distinguish him would be by his skin color..

It's not just white people who do that....we ALL do it.

It's no different than saying, "This preacher friend of mine....." or "I saw this older guy who......"

It's just a description, that's all.
