Spin it all you want, the word black in referencing someone of color respectfully is perfectly acceptable and NOT demeaning at all.
Get a life.

FYI- When i posted my comment, the last thing on my mind was to insult anyone by mentioning "Black" -
Resorting to namecalling will always work. This is how you chase away people.
Its all yours, Bub.

I do not beleive Jesus was from Africa- therefore, you cannot refer to him as African-American can you.

My niece is Indian (adopted) she is black-skinned. She is NOT an Afro-American, so therefore if i were to refer to her skin color i could conceivably mention she has black coloring.

give me a break. the term that was coined in america to describe blacks is still considered a valid reason to start a fight if someone of a different color says it. get of your high horse, your reparations check ain't comin.

I heard they have already developed a
cure for that case of paranoia.

Keep it up. Just one day on this board and you've already
broken the rules in a big way. You are going to get yourself
at least a hefty warning. Then it'll be YOU with the public
problem.

Yeshua has Indian heritage, his ideas and his daughter is enough to convey that.
The term black is an implied slang term addressed to African American.
They perfer the term African or "Dark-Skinned" Africans
It makes it seem like she's African to Americans that view her.
Well the term "black" comes from the term "negro" and "negro" is Spanish for black.
All you do is switch the r and o and add in a few decades of Mispronunciation and wham you got the N word.
he could have been altered and if that was the case then Yeshua (Jesus) had very little if any semitic heritage and was predominately Dravidian with the "other."
Calling you stupid is not the same as naming you stupid
If that day ever happens, it'll be right after you.
