<p>So.
There's a Desi Thread, and Asian Thread, and Hispanic Thread, and White Thread, and Human Thread.</p>

<p>So now we have the Black thread. Yay.
(Or African-American. You get the point.)</p>

<p>Obviously not~</p>

<p>“The Black Thread”
This sounds like it should be a short horror story by Edgar Allen Poe.</p>

4

<p>What’s up with all these “Thread”?</p>

5

<p>So. What do we post in the Black thread?</p>

<p>I could totally use a good estimate of the profile of the average black student who gets into top colleges.</p>

Pointless thread is pointless.</p>

7

<p>I’m offensive and I happen to find this thread to be very, how do you say, black.</p>

<p>So, anything interesting anyone wants to talk about? Or are we just going to lounge around here staring at the bucket?</p>

8

<p>I’m black.</p>

<p>Here’s an interesting question: Why do black people use the N word among each other, but white people can’t use it? And that terms of endearment crap is exactly that: crap.</p>

10

<p>I think the N word is never “okay”
Just leave it in the 19th century</p>

<p>So in other black news today, my redguard is now level 35 and I recently became the leader of the “dark” brotherhood. Any other exciting black things happen today?</p>

<p>“Here’s an interesting question: Why do black people use the N word among each other, but white people can’t use it? And that terms of endearment crap is exactly that: crap.”</p>

<p>Because once upon a time, white people enslaved black people, and later persecuted them. During this period, they were called that in a very derogatory and demeaning fashion. </p>

<p>I do not know why black people call other black people that, but it’s obvious from history why white people are excluded.</p>

<p>@Philovitist</p>

<p>Wow. I absolutely did not know that. As a black person, I had no idea of what that word was used for. Thank you for your extensive and very unnecessary explanation.</p>

14

<p>lol, kill this thread</p>

15

<p>How about that soul food?</p>

16

<p>Soul food is pretty good.</p>

<p>Anyone else here that doesn’t care much for fried chicken? Too greasy for my standards.</p>
