					<description><![CDATA[@M Anthony, I am sure many of us are aware that we are brown and not actually black, that I do understand. It has nothing to do with a lie or being brainwashed. There are so many lies that as Africans in America that have been told and are being taught to our kids, that throwing the attention on Africans not being black but brown is too minor to focus on in this day in age. Realizing that we are brown and not black isn&#039;t going to change are living situations or how we are mistreated all over the world and not just in America. But we all know that the terms black and brown is just to differ between Mexicans and Africans.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[In our community there are niggas (based on actions, ignorance and attitude), &quot;black&quot; people (based on culture) and African Americans. There are economic differences, educational differences and intelligence difference. Sometimes being rich does not stop the person from being a nigger/nigga like Kanye or Jay-Z.


AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT BLACK

It amazes me how many of you are still brainwashed to call yourselves BLACK. Black is not an identity and scientifically black is not even a color. It is next to nothing. Black is the &quot;color&quot; of your car tires, not your skin. The white oppressive slave trader called you black and himself white to set up a contrast and to attach negative images and denotations to you based on a lie about color. Look up BLACK in the dictionary.

Research even shows that blacks are perceived by other groups as very different from African Americans. But we still keep calling ourselves what someone else defined us as, what we are not and what has a negative dictionary denotation in society. WAKE UP. LOOK AT THE REAL COLOR OF YOUR SKIN. YOU ARE NOT BLACK. You are an African American. The lie of calling us black and defining us by color (the wrong color) has been in place so long that our people accept it as truth - but it&#039;s not. Know your colors.

Native Americans do not allow others to call them red men. Asians do not accept being called yellow men. Hispanics do not answer to &quot;what&#039;s up brown man&quot;. And Caucasians are not white, notebook paper is white. Wake up and see the plan where white racist supremacists plotted to redefine our people from Africa. STOP CALLING YOURSELF SOMETHING THAT YOU ARE NOT!
AFRICAN AMERICANS ARE NOT BLACK.

Black is the &quot;color&quot; of your car tires, not your skin author. Being called &quot;black&quot; is a lie and it should be offensive. Haitians, Jamaicans and even Africans do not accept being called &quot;black&quot;, Why do you think that is? They are identified by tribes, klans, geographic areas and their respective countries.  By using the very term black to describe us, we are doing the following:
1. Using a term white oppressors and slave masters gave us.
2. Letting someone else define us other than our own people.
3. Calling ourselves something we are not.
4. Buying into thee lie and the negative denotation. Check the dictionary.
5. Being set apart in a way that no other ethnic group allows. Native Americans are not called Red Man. Asians are not called Yellow Man. Hispanics are not called Brown Man. They do not and will not accept being defined by color and by some other race or ethnic group at that.
6. Ignoring our actual color (brown) which means brainwashing has worked. Any time someone can get an entire race, ethnic group or culture to ignore what they are and call themselves what they factually are not, THEY HAVE BEEN INDOCTRINATED, ASSIMILATED AND BRAINWASHED.
7. Playing right into the oppressor&#039;s profiles and stereotypes. Did you know studies show there is a different perception of black people than there is of African Americans? Words create perceptions and perceptions create actions towards us.

WAKE UP. You know your colors. And even though others around the world equated our ancestors with the color of the soil in Africa or the meaning of negro/negroid, that does not change the fact that WE ARE BROWN - NOT BLACK.

If you look in the dictionary or send an email to brainstormonline@yahoo.com, I will send you the research. Facts are facts and YOU ARE BROWN, NOT BLACK. When you receive the revelation of why they keep calling African Americans &quot;black&quot; and Caucasian people &quot;white&quot;, you may just wake up!

STOP LETTING OTHER GROUPS DEFINE YOU WITH AN OBVIOUS LIE that we have heard and accepted so much that we believe it&#039;s true and forget our colors. The de-programming has to take root or African Americans will forever be defined, limited and oppressed by those who get us to accept a lie.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I agree with the article wholeheartedly. Granted I listen to music that use the word frequently but as I&#039;ve gotten older, I have become very uncomfortable with the usage of Nigga...especially when it&#039;s used repeatedly and for reference sake. I have used the word but as I&#039;ve gotten older, I try to be cognizant of not using the word and not being associated with it at all.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You are to be congratulated for having the intestinal fortitude to speak out against use of a word that devalue the lives of black people...the N word nigga.

Indifference is the epitome of evil. We must take sides.  Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented we owe it to our ancestors to speak out, hold their struggles and sacrifices in the highest of esteem and not embrace the very word that dehumanized and objectified them the N word nigger/nigga.]]></description>
