Where did the term Buffalo Soldier originate? Several years ago I met several descendants of Buffalo Soldiers as they were preparing for a parade and event to honor and commemorate their origins. Now some may say the term Buffalo Soldier is not politically correct but these men were damn proud of the name and what it stood for. (and rightfully so) Should we say...African American, black, colored, people of color Should we say...disabled, handicapped, impaired, persons with disabilities Should we say...poor, disadvantaged, needy, indigent We use words to descibe things. Normally society determines norms and what is acceptable/unacceptable. Now we have to worry about the minority controlling the majority. It' amazing how some people can intentionally offend but it's not discussed because they're part of a certain group yet others who unintentionally offend are labeled as sexist, racist, haters because they're part of a certain group. Once again...hypocrisy.
Now, see, when I read Dale's comments, I thought that Shaq might've been offended by being compared to a dinky deer.
ive never heard of that. surely, you arent equating referring to a black man as "buffalo soldier" with call him "King Kong"?
You know what is being overlooked here? King Kong was a movie star. So maybe what Dale meant was, "Even though you made that Kazam movie, your still a star in my eyes, and you're a nice guy." Why does it always have to be about the monkeys? Maybe, just maybe it's about the man. Ponder that.
i just now caught this, said to sabanfan..... i almost spit out my diet coke. i dont even want to even begin to guess how old randy is now. :rofl:
I was replying to Saban Fan's sermon to me that concluded "Look inward, young man". By the way I'm in my late 50's.
