But the whole quadroon etc. thing was about how much (specifically) black blood you had in you, because it was seen as bad blood. I find it very hard to believe that people really still think like that, rather than what I THINK racism is, the idea that black people are in some way not 'as good' as white people.Schneewittchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500446025276876475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19879874.post-88915695934156063812009-10-06T05:00:48.780-07:002009-10-06T05:00:48.780-07:00So, are they moving back to the idea that there ar...So, are they moving back to the idea that there are degrees of black?<br />The days when people had Mulatto, Quadroon and Octoroon on their papers and had to use water fountains accordingly.<br /><br />I think you have to watch your back with the Music director because I think he is setting you up for a 'discrimination' claim.<br />Having learned ALL those languages he MUST have picked up the concept of gender.<br />He's being a prick.Sleepyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16851172321023922107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19879874.post-40304988070988641532009-10-05T17:12:19.518-07:002009-10-05T17:12:19.518-07:00That's all very well Michael, but it still doe...That's all very well Michael, but it still doesn't help me figure out how to know if someone's black or not.Schneewittchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500446025276876475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19879874.post-24349516370492588522009-10-05T15:40:35.670-07:002009-10-05T15:40:35.670-07:00God is a He.

Saying otherwise is silly.<br /><br /> What realllllllly makes me mad is when people try to portray Christ as some Middle Eastern Arab like guy. Come on. Get Real. He's a white guy. People just need to accept it.<br /><br />God is a person like me, only older. He doesn't look anything like you think. And if you disagree I'll fight you over it.Travelling STaffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13568422534213070197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19879874.post-17420540320859171732009-10-04T20:49:54.853-07:002009-10-04T20:49:54.853-07:00Just God, and instead of 'his' or 'her...Just God, and instead of 'his' or 'her' we can usually say 'this' or 'the'. It is often easy to just streamline the sentences also, and rationalise how many mentions God gets.Schneewittchenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11500446025276876475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19879874.post-89793368732629755152009-10-04T20:37:43.622-07:002009-10-04T20:37:43.622-07:00What pronoun do you use with God?
