Wow.   Kind of arrogant about that whole social experience thing, aren't you?

Personally, I no longer care what people call me. Never really did, but even 
less, now.   People use whatever label is available that allows them to keep 
whatever biases they may hold near and dear.   Your use of a any particular 
"label" tells me much about you, as my use would say much about me.

Just because someone would never "say" such a thing, does not by any means 
imply that the label is not being used, internally.

And I wonder, since we are on the individual bandstand here, why BO does not 
call himself a mulatto? After all, that's what he really is, to those who 
actually care about race.

I did not mean to twist your words, and if I did, I misunderstood you.  
lease feel free to correct.
All "black people" are not the same. Period, full stop. We are all  
ndividuals. Shall I call all poor white southerners "crackers"?  I  
hink not.
The governor of Alaska IS a liar.
I have lived abroad. I have worked side by side with illegal  
mmigrants, and celebrities. I have lived in the north and the south.  
es, my cultural experience is slightly more broad than someone who  
as spent their whole lives in one place.

 I don't know how, nor do I have to time, to answer this post, only to
 say that I am not substituting the phrase 'black people' for the n- 
 word.
 In addition, you claim to have a broader cultural experience?  Please.
