Nice job throwing "politcal correctness" in there. The article refers to the African Americans as "black".
I'd personally do as Joe suggests

You might be right about that, Joe.

I've pondered hanging a noose on campus here. Just because it'd be amusing as fuck to watch people freak out.

I'm also reasonably sure thats its only a matter of time before a high court starts bitch-slapping people over this. It should be easy to make the case for this being protected speech.

1) black is more politically correct than AA
2) the PC was about the reaction the school had.  Suspending someone because he knows how to tie a noose?  Yeah, that's logical

Moral of the story: Don't be a boy scout.

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

Moral of this story: Don't go to a public school.

black is more politically correct than AA

PC seems to be 99% about euphamisms, thus I'd say African American is more PC. It's like saying that someone passed away instead of died, threw up instead of puked, was sexually assaulted instead of raped, or is caucasion instead of white. It's all about NOT stating the obvious, right?

Hehe, That is completly stupid.
An aquatiance an I were bored the other day and we sjtu started talking. And it some how turned to how to blow things up.
So I told him how to make naypalm (sp?)
And how I blew up my old ass computer once I got one that was 10x better.
Nothing happened.
I *was* almost an Eagle scout, until they lost my records.
And who doesn't know how to tie a noose?

Wrong.  Black people can come from other places than just Africa, such as the Caribbean or the Middle East (which isn't the right term anyway).  "Passed away" is just more polite, and same with "threw up".  Sexual Assault and Rape are two different things.  And white people can come from other places than just the Caucus Mountains area in Russia.

No..no he seems to have Political Correctness nailed pretty well.

Assumptions? Check
Cautiousness around race? Check
Stupidity? Check

Political Correctness is only needed and used (when addressing race), to those who clearly see the distinction. Coming from one of the most diverse areas in my state, and going to one of the most diverse schools, after a while you learn to look at people as just people. The color of the skin, or their ethnic background is pretty much irrelevant. Therefore, no caution is needed when talking to them because the distinction between race isn't there, therefore it's like talking to anyone.

I think it outlines a major problem when we have to conjure "bandaids" such as "African American" to attempt to relate to them. It's perfectly fine to call them Black as long as you're describing physical features (Just as I'd say Trust has Red hair if describing him). It is however, not right to use their skin color as a basis upon which to stereotype them.

That's basically all you need to know, and you avoid this politically correct bullshit.
One must ask oneself: "do I will trolling to become a universal law?" And then when one realizes "yes, I do will it to be such," one feels completely justified.

After that comment, I'm afraid that I'm going to have to ask you to get your coat and leave. We can't be having with that kind of language here.
