Subject: RE: BS: The term Afro American?
I'm tired of all this "race" stuff. It's mostly a topic that keeps journalists dithering and gives some people (mostly young and male) an excuse to fight. It's also great for marketing.

Take a look at this family.

(Sorry, my computer doesn't make blue clickies.)


Aren't the kids cute? They are twins. Are they different races? Should one listen to rap while the other plays Bach? Should they have different accents? Associate with different crowds?

Is race real?
