does playing Arkansas hurt the image of our program

[Professorstinkynuts]

I am an African-American Razorbacks fan who lives in Arkansas. So does that make me a racist in your eyes too?

depends, were you born in Africa and then moved to America?

I would not say that you are a racist, but I would understand your dislike of the Caucasian race that has oppressed you for so many years. But i want you to know that you are free to move away and they can't come after you. The north won my friend.

Sorry about all your neighbors and fellow fans who think it's alright to fly the confederate flag.  Damn, that sucks.

You guys have it all wrong. I have friends that are white and black down here.  Some people are prejudices and some aren't.  And that describes everywhere I've been in America, including Kansas.

I'm still confused though.  Do you have dual citizenship or where you born in Africa and then moved to America.  If so, where in Africa?

[Trim]

IH8, you should help out We Are and go take a picture with him that We Are can tote around Costanza-style to prove he's not a racist.  Make sure you give him notice before you go over so that he has time to take down the stars & bars at the house.

I am black and was born in Arkansas but I prefer to be called African-American.  You got a problem with that?

No problem with it, just have trouble making sense of it though. 

Reminds me of a news broadcast I saw once.  An English (you know, because he is from and still lives in England) reporter was doing a story about 2 men who were from Nigeria and happened to be black.  They moved to France and became citizens, so you see, they were actually French.  Anywho, he reported them as being African-American.  These two French guys had never set foot on American soil (north, south or central) so I'm all like WTF!

I guess that reporter was wrong.  I am of African descent but live in America.  You can call me black, but I prefer to be called African-American.  Most of my caucasian friends down here do, but some call me black and that's OK too.

I think that's weird.  None of my friends call me white or swiss/french american.  When will your friends down there stop seeing you as a color, and start seeing you as a human being?  God bless.

After all of the posts that I have read from Arkansas fans I hope those names really are the only ones they call you. I am positive that "we are" uses names that the majority of kansans would never know o understand.

Here's the deal, who decides what is the proper term.  Hypothetical.  You are the 1st "black" person I meet.  You say you prefer to be called "African American."  So I do that.  Next person I meet that happens to be "black" gets twisted (even though if you trace it back, he is of African decent also) when you say "African-American" because it has a negative connotation so now I'm a racist.  So the next guy I meet I refer to as "black" and now I'm a racist because that is a negative term.  So the next guy I meet I just call an American and he twists off because he's still bitter that his relatives were sold as slaves and he doesn't ever want anyone to forget the hardship his people faced.  SO the next guy is referred to as African American and he's like WTF, I'm from Haiti you racist prick.  and so on and so on

adjectives are used to describe all things in this modern world yet anytime a white guy says black, he's 

I know you said you're cool with black but hopefully you see my point.

My friends call me Larry but we do talk about race and I think it's something we shouldn't be afraid to talk about.  We look different and have a history that we need to work through, not ignore.

Larry, let me ask you a question... and you can be honest... What is your opinion of somebody flying a Confederate flag at home? If you read a couple pages back, you might've seen the article from Fox News out of LR talking about the mayor in Marshall (North Central Arkansas) having the Confederate flag flown outside city hall... I absolutely and 100% disagree with this move and the city council did the right thing by banning this. Only the American flag should ever be flown, with the exception of the Arkansas State flag. But you see Larry, where the Confederate flag became a problem was when these KSU punks pulled a vid from the 1965 Cotton Bowl and some Arkansas fans waived the Confederate flag on the field after they won. Now, we're racist because this was done over 45 years ago. What's your feeling on this, my African American friend?

Don't tell him Larry. This is some sort of racist trick. He is trying to get you to agree with him so he can show all of wave toting racist friends that he got a "colored" (his words not mine, read previous posts) to agree with him.

I am definitely offended by the Confederate flag.  Fortunately, I hardly ever see it anymore down here.  Once in a while on the front license plate of a pickup truck.  To be honest, most Arkansas treat me like a human being.  I didn't mind getting a minority scholarship along with my academic scholarship to the U of A, but I'd like to think that most of my current accomplishments have been earned by me.  I was barely born in 1965 and my dad says things have gotten alot better, thank God. I am a season ticket holder and love to go to Hogs games!
