[QUOTE]Originally posted by Miguel Antunes: [QB] "Unless you can give a good reason as to why an English definition of a word or phrase should be thrown out at your convenience..." I already gave my reason. It makes little sense..to me. Is it a good reason? Who cares? I don't. Obviously in my mind it's a good reason but it might not be in yours. I don't expect anyone to follow my reasoning, but expressing my opinion won't hurt now will it? (even if I could have choosen a better place) "until you provide evidence that this definition did not apply to AE..." Never said so. In fact, I did the opposite, and I'll do it again, by that definition AE were Black persons. Besides, I never expected my opinion to be well received, and I have said so many times. My opinion is valid to me yes, since it's my opinion. Until I change my opinion (which has happened, for example, I did believe in the past that AE were "Meds", since that was the information conveied to me, so trying to convince me of something once my mind is set is not worthless..) it will remain valid..to me. Which is what matters..to me. Don't like it? Fine by me! Just some questions though. For example, in the case of the Greeks it seems they were merely describing a certain skin tone "white women" "white persian" and not talking about an ethnic group. Seems it was different it the Arabs (equating Europeans with white) and other groups (equating Arabs and light Berbers with white) But was it like today? I honestly didn't know about this, never really cared about the concept of white, never felt it defined me or my people. Or any European people for that matter. "the Rm.t and the Nehesi" Yes, I asked who they were, and the answer was quite underwhelming. Now this was my main point. I did got off on a tangent about my opinion of the term "black african" (or any other similar "racial label"), but the fact is no one seemed to care much about my question in itself, simply on "humiliating the troll" or whatever. Something which is totaly fruitless (as was my tirade about black african not meaning anything, I now recognize that, it should have been left for another topic or not mentioned at all). So, in short, who were the Rm.t and the Nehesi? Were they the only other groups labeled as black by the AE? [/QB][/QUOTE]
