From: Tom Carty <cartyweb at hotmail.com>
Subject: LL-L "Ethnicity" 2005.06.17 (07) [E] Im not white... Im Negroically
challenged!

The same as family names tell of the tribe - in Irelands case - you are, or
the trade your people had, they are only to trace ancestry, not to be
accurate.

How many Smiths cant handle a hammer? Do they object to being called Smith?

So my family is O' Carty, but my mother is O'Donoghue, her mother O' Reilly
her mother was Drake; my fathers Coyle, hers Hourican, hers Treacy... does
that make me object to being called Carty?

Race is not an insult: ita a history... the three races in real terms are
Caucasian, made of Aryan and Semetic, Negroid, and Mongol, as in Whites
(also including Arabs and Indians), African and Australian Blacks, and
Chinese, Native American, Eskimo and allied peoples.

Everything has to be classified: this is taking politically correct too far.

Should we call Whites as being Negroically challenged - as in they are not
black enough?

Tom
