lol I have not herd that since the late 70's. Made me laugh.
Growing up you knew who the wiseguys were. They did a better job at protecting the neighborhoods than the cops ever did. The cops never understood the loyalty that we had for the old time wiseguys. They did not prey upon their own neighborhoods and they made sure it was safe on their block. You still see a few of the old school in neighborhood bars.
I knew you'd appreciate it in context. "Goombah" is a word I never used except in reference to movies. I don't even know if I spelled it right.
Goombah is used by Americans as derogatory. Among Italians it's like calling each other "hey bro".

I think human would be preffered all else seems to just lead back to nigger!

nigger, coon, spook, tar baby, silverback, porch monkey, shit with legs, don't matter at all.![]()
I do, when I'm too lazy to say "People of African descent." Sometimes I also say "black." Kind of depends on the setting. I use the very PC first when I'm teaching or talking to people I don't know. I use African-American in somewhat more casual settings, and I use black with people I know well and have heard refer to themselves that way, or, if they're not black, have heard use it with no negative connotation.
Examples:
I'm teaching evaluation of skin color, temperature, moisture as a vital sign. "Of course we don't care if someone is of African ancestry, or Indian, or Chinese. It's about peripheral blood flow."
I'm posting with someone I don't know well, who is of African descent. "Well, African-Americans do have a significant burden, in that someone can tell from a hundred yards if they're not Caucasian, and they have to constantly deal with that distant evaluation."
I'm posting with Irezumikiss. "You black guys have an automatic advantage, because you're cool and the press release says you have giant cocks."
So you admit to using racist standards, different behaviours when you know someone's race?
I just hate everyone equally regardless of race (or WingedKiss, would you prefer irregardless).


I don't think "irregardless" is a real word.
I could be wrong.
But......
Could be one of those non-words like "ain't" that became a word due to general usage by dummies like me.
You all are some old fucks!!!!
FYI: corporate HR's teach managment to never use African American now. It is offensive to no African blacks

Bullshit.
Nope. It is true old timer. African American has been anti PC for about 5 years now. Just becuase someone is black does not mean they are from Africa....
