OT: OK...which one did you check?

@ Hispanics are not the only people of multiple national and cultural origin. 


Exactly...that shioot right there ****** me off to no end.  They just put us in a box and want us all to  squeeze our asses in there.

The census bureau likes to mess with stuff.  They intiated the switch to Negro back in the 30's.  They had determined that the majority of americans of black descent were mixed race so they put mulatto and black under Negro.  Now there's a terminology shift initiated by them or whoever again to add Negro back and put biracial or multiracial.  Black folks need to start playing the game and listing their racial background.  The only problem is it could dilute the funding for programs.  Hispancs have it made because their umbrella covers multiple races... you can be black, white or native and hispanic at the same time. 

I've done my family tree and it's a hot mess seeing the exact same folks have their identification changed by the census bureau.  One year they are black or mulatto and then the next census they are Negro.   My husband's folks were colored until they were changed to Negro. 

SMDH.....its a hot mess that for sure. Maybe Pres. OBAMA and his team will have this as a focus in his next  term. Need to get this shioot straight before he leaves office or it will never happen.
