I got a question:
(And I'm not trying to be offensive or racist)
But why do they call them "Black People" when their skin is kinda brown-ish?
Or when they call them "White People" when some of their skin is sort of tan-ish/peach-ish?

This thread is stupid, judge people by who they are, not by the colour of their skin.

But Spanish is a language, anyone can learn and participate in it. You don't have much choice over the colour of skin you're born in to or your ethnic background, so I don't see how the Spanish thread could have been used as an example for this one because all colours, ages, races, cultures etc can use it. I'm not against this thread btw, I just don't agree with the correlation to it's basis by the Spanish thread. But anyway, guess I better leave cos I'm a different colour, but then I am a 'person of colour' (aren't we all really?) like you said but still, perhaps I'll go and find my Spanish dictionary and see what I can join in the Spanish thread  .

Thats what i believe, we are all the same.
Sugababes - Ugly
When I was 7
They said I was strange
I noticed that my eyes and hair weren't the same
I asked my parents if I was OK
They said you're more beautiful
And that's the way they show that they wish
They had your smile
So my confidence was up for a while
I got real comfortable with my own style
I knew that they were only jealous cos
People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you
There was a time when I felt like I cared
That I was shorter than everyone there
People made me feel like life was unfair
And I did things that made me ashamed
Cos I didn't know my body would change
I grew taller than them in more ways
But there will always be the one who will say
Something bad to make them feel great
People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you
People are all the same
And we only get judged by what we do
Personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then
So are you
So are you
Everybody talks bad about somebody
And never realises how it affects somebody
And you bet it won't be forgotten
Envy is the only thing it could be
Cos people are all the same
(The same, the same)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah, yeah)
Personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then
(Yeah, you)
So are you
So are you
People are all the same
(Oh, oh, oh)
And we only get judged by what we do
(What we do, yeah)
Personality reflects name
And if I'm ugly then
(Yeah, so are you)
So are you
So are you

I don't see a problem with this thread. I'm not black, but I have a huge appreciation for soul/rnb music, and it's nice to see a place to talk about it. I mean the majority of this fourm doesen't respect R&B and Soul music Like Kindred And The Family Soul, Canton Jones, Kem, Charlie Wilson, Vivian Green, Anthony Hamilton, The Isley Brothers, Dwele, Avant and many others!
I am so excited for this thread!
