There is no such thing as “African American.” The proper word is colored, although the n-word is also acceptable.

Firstly, thanks so much for telling us the "proper" and "acceptable" words for describing what we previously called "African Americans".
Some colored talking head can go shove it.
Why do I get the feeling the "colored talking heads" are literal talking heads Vic hallucinates?
Vic: "Screw you, talking rainbow disembodied heads! I'll call them whatever I want! (Just... you know, not to their faces. They scare me.)"
Having trouble committing yourself to that step though?
Though seriously, the person who gets to decide what is offensive is the person being offended, provided it isn't to the level of paranoid delusions. Not some insensitive prick shoving it where it doesn't belong and apparently is too scared to feel the barbed wire it's scrapping over.

That is priceless.
"Yeah, we want Obama dead, but not because he's an... n-word or anything. Uh, that camera's not on, is it?"

Ok pilgrim. You do know that you ain't American?
"As for deciding what is offensive or what is ridiculous I absolutely reserve the right to decide. Some colored talking head can go shove it."
That's ok. As a child-raping retarded crack-head, your opinion on what is offensive has been ignored.
After all, the one on the receiving end of the insult can't decide if it is insulting or not...
I do agree "African American" as a pc term can get ridiculous.
Back in high school I remember we watched a video on Africa. The teacher asked what we noticed about the movie. Someone said that most of the people in the video were "African-Americans"!
There is no such thing as “White.” The proper word is cracker, although honky is also acceptable.
As for deciding what is offensive or what is ridiculous I absolutely reserve the right to decide. Some white supremacist talking head can go shove it.
Do you see the problems your logic creates for you?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
