OK, for the record I'm all for equality...but one thing that I just don't get is this identity crisis, if you will, with black people.  In this article alone there are; black, African-American and people of color.  I mean come on...settle on something and quit dancing around this political correctness.  Someone, somewhere is going to be offended...accept that fact and quit trying to hand everyone a participation trophy.  This goes for everyone by the way, but if you want to be treated as equal, you must first see yourself as equal.  The moment you separate yourself out as different, you are no longer equal.  When people understand that then maybe, just maybe things will change.  Until then, well here we are...and here's your trophy...I guess.
