      Black people, white people, purple people. Who cares. If you post winners I don't care if you're the blind black white supremacist character from the Dave Chapelle show (funniest skit I have EVER seen). It don't matter no how. All I really see is people putting bikini models, bust and butt shots as their Avatar. Ok, maybe not everyone, but plenty!

      And while I'm on the subject who the heck is this Dad character. I mean I don't mind looking at what he posts (even though I rarely open them), but there are sites dedicated to that stuff (that I do visit on occassion). I'm here to see what my fellow degenerate gamblers are doing to win cash! Giving a play that I might not have seen or thought about.

      For those who post the picks: Black, White, Yellow, Red or freaking Rainbow, keep em coming. Let's take SBR back (like I know what back even means as I've only been on less than a month).

        You must be white, no black man talks like you... Walk a mile in our boots sometime and see if you still feel the same.

            If you're strictly worried about looking at picks and don't want to see threads like 'Dad' starts, then stay out of Players Talk. There are plenty of subforums with more game and picks chat.

                            This whole topic seems childish and immature to me. But I guess that is why there is freedom of speech as a basic right in this country. People have a right to make fools out of themselves if they so choose. So be it. This kind of BS and ignorance will be here long after we are all dead and stinking.

                                      Right that makes sense. So are white people in Africa called 'European Africans'?

                                        Actually no. They are also called Africans.

                                          It probably depends on if they're from Europe. If i was in Africa, i don't think they would call me a 'European African' because I'm from the United States.

                                                So based on that, shouldn't all people in America just be called 'Americans' regarless of skin color?

                                                So if a there's a black man in America that is from England, he's not an African American?

                                                  To be honest with you, i really don't care. It's just the way some people say it. I've never really wasted any of my time thinking about why, because really, i don't care. It's just something people say, if you don't like it, don't say it. If i had to guess, i'd say it's something that caught on in america because when blacks first game to the states, they were from africa. We went over to africa and brought black people to the states to be slaves. They were from africa though, hence the term 'African Americans'. That's probably how it started, and sometimes things like that just stick and it really isn't important why, it just is what it is.

                                                      So if a there's a black man in America that is from England, he's not an African American?
                                                      wow. i want you to repeat that question to yourself slowly, a few times so you can answer your own question again and again lol....

I've never really wasted any of my time thinking about why, because really, i don't care. It's just something people say, if you don't like it, don't say it. If i had to guess, i'd say it's something that caught on in america because when blacks first game to the states, they were from africa. We went over to africa and brought black people to the states to be slaves. They were from africa though, hence the term 'African Americans'. That's probably how it started, and sometimes things like that just stick and it really isn't important why, it just is what it is.
                                                        I don't care either, just curious what other people's opinions are.

Not sure why they do it...not really all that impressed with either. This pizza place we go to in Phoenix Arizona has New York style pizza and is actually really good. The people from New York always have to have a t-shirt on that has something to do with NEW YORK...weird. Why don't chinese restaurants have a bunch of chinese people sitting around with "China Rules" t-shirts or "China Fire Dept." scrawled across their chests...

                                                                      We got it. You once lived in New York and now you don't. I used to live in Chicago but I don't go to a Chicago style pizza place wearing my Bears jersey (especially after Sunday's embarrassment) and my White Sox hat. Sorry, people from New York tend to think they own the world because the Yankees have won more world championships than other teams...
