As to the American part it was merely hyperbole. Perhaps it came from me being a war veteran and a firefighter who has served this country well, i.e. I've given more than have received. But, you're right. As long as it says U.S. on our birth certificate we're all as American as the other.

Is Mestizo better? Is Caucasian better, or is brown / white better? There is nothing bad about being brown, it is not a slam.

You should have asked me about my military service, 7.5 years as an 11B ground pounder. However it never made more American than anyone else.
Hell up to until after Desert Storm must people would say why would you even think about the military. There is a ton of fake patriotism in the USA.

Geez, Crayola sure created a Firestorm when They changed the name Flesh Color !







Anyone out there the shade on the far right ?

Casper the ghost?

I dated a red head in college that was damn close.

Wow, I can agree. My bro-in-law was wearing shorts one day and we all thought he was wearing white socks to his knees. He wasn't wearing any socks.

So you're comparing the word "Thug" to the "N" word? Were black people enslaved and oppressed when the word "Thug" became common? Also, were people OTHER than black folks called the "N" word during the period of slavery? Because folks other than black people are called thugs.

Your argument/comparison is so weak and flimsy.

The "T" word replaced the "N" word.

Do the voices in your head tell you that?

No Richard Sherman did. LMFAO

You do know the year is 2015, right?
