  1. I think the next star is going to be the
    african american heavy set man. He has a great personality, and puts on
    a good program. The two guys that work together are good too. After that
    the Caribbean girl would do a good program too. Harmony was just abit
    to sixties for todays show.
    And the one with the bandaged finger should go back to acting school for
    afew lessons.

    Its all a tough.....but the heavy set black Negro will top out.

    You mean the black guy? A person is either an American or an African.
    They aren't both. Stop giving in to the hyphenated way of looking at
    things and make people decided that they are American or not.

    A lot of people call themselves African-American... but they weren't
    born in Africa, nor were their parents or their parents parents.

    But I watched a funny/embarrassing moment as a speaker was introduced at
    a large function (1300 people). He was black and from France. The
    president of the organization said he was a "distinguished
    African-American..." to a room where all conversation abruptly stopped
    to create the quietest quiet I've ever heard in a crowd.

    It only works in the U.S. and only when the person wants it to.

    I think of myself as Italian-American. One denotes ancestry, the other
    citizenship.

    Yeah. My grandparents were born in Italy and I refer to myself as Italian
    American. Nobody has a problem with that.

    Umm...No he won't. He was eliminated. I'm hoping for Hans, or maybe Dan &
    Steve, which would be a funny show. Anyone but Susannah. (The bandaged one.)
    She annoys the living daylights out of me. Not sure why, exactly, except
    that she is one note, and strikes me as extremely phony. Also, they have
    enough "diet" shows already.

    Exactly... why would they need ANOTHER show telling you how to make
    fat-free flavour-free food in miniscule portions? They've already got
    one of them and her recipes don't seem to be any different. But she
    might well win because people are obsessed with diets.

    I don't think she'll win - she's too plastic. Hardly any personality
    shows, at all. She's "on" when the camera's on her and instantly "off"
    when it isn't. I like Hans - don't know if he'll relax enough to make
    it - didn't like the really heavy guy, and don't like the black woman
    very much - she's just sloppy or something. I like the gay pair. I
    was glad to see the Afro-haired jitterbug gone. He was just too over
    the top. I liked Harmony, and am sorry she didn't get very far.

    I've never heard a black guy call himself "African-American"... It's silly.

    Some people do. Like licorice. I've seen 'em. I've known some of 'em.
    Their skin is gorgeous!

    You do realize, don't you, that "negro" is no longer used in polite
    company?

    Depends on the generation. In my lifetime, I've heard negro, colored,
    black, and African-American insisted on as proper by black folks (I
    settled on number 3). A black lady friend of mine prefers "black". A
    younger black cow orker chastised me for using black and not being PC
    and using A-A. I told him I didn't get the memo.

    Negro is generally not accepted terminology anymore. It's seen as
    demeaning in part because it was used during segregation.

    Yep, Carol, I had a friend on Maui from South Africa who had blue-ish black
    skin. Absolutely flawless, but you couldn't call it brown. His name was
    Charles and he had that wonderful South African accent. He was absolutely
    gorgeous, but the problem was, he knew it. Sigh.

    Yup, I'm talking bluish-black here, too. I thought of that after I sent my
    post last night. Black, black, black. And I think it's gorgeous, too.
    Too bad about Charles.
