I'm not being an asshole here I'm Fucking SERIOUS: Why is it "Black Beekeepers..." And not Just "Beekeepers" (And yes I saw the pic of the author who is presumably American of African descent). I fear America will Never shed its segregation roots as long as we keep referring to each other in terms of color. Me, I'm adopted, and when people ask me where I'm from, I'll usually say Earth. Peace.

- RaceWon 7y ago> I'm not sure simply saying "I'm not being an asshole here" Thank you. I was clearly wrong: We absolutely should continue to delineate ourselves in terms of skin hue; Obviously that is the only, and best way to bridge the racial chasm. I must be blind to have not seen this.
