Maybe an American of African decent? An American of Hispanic decent?
Negro. Black. Charlize Theron once caught hell because she referred to herself as "African American". She's a white actress who was born in Africa.

I think a lot of people around here simply object to the double standard, rather than the actual speech. This is # 47 billion in a continuing list of Things Said By A Democrat Which Would Have Ended The Career Of Any Republican. I agree that I don’t give a rat’s rump in hell about the actual language Pelosi used.

whatever the name was in those days One can only imagine the Wagnerian opera that would ensue if a Republican had said this. We would have long essays on the "othering" of "oppressed peoples," accompanied by, of course, demands for more social programs.

Defending Pelosi is a tough load to haul, however, the majority in America has had to be dishonest for decades in order to placate the minority. It is time we get over that.
To: Question Liberal Authority
Of course there's a double standard. Anyone with a brain knows it, and anyone who's intellectually honest admits there is. Quibbling over Peloser's PC lingo only feeds into the 'Rat agenda of turning the English language into New-speak.
What I propose is we start taking the English language back. We should start using correct, if un-PC, language.
"Illegal alien", "Homosexual", "Negro", "Oriental", "Muslim terrorist", "Retarded", "Hispanic"...all are proper English terms when used properly (to be fair, I would have included "Caucasian" in the list, but no one seems to be offended when they're called a Caucasian). We should use these words, then defend our use of them in an effort to illustrate what's happening to our English language. Of course the media will paint us as bigots, homophobes, racists, lower than whale manure on the ocean floor, etc...but don't they already?
Let's stand up for the English language, and quit trying to out-PC the PC CommieLibs!

LOL! We were Negroes back in those days, Nancy. It would have been funny if she had just went with her gut and said it.

Does African-American include white Africans who have become American citizens? No? What would you call them?

It’s not about accepting their PC view of the world it’s about throwing it back in their faces.

A better way of throwing it back in their faces would be to make them defend their own PC lingo.
Try this...use the term "chairwoman" instead of "chair" or "chairperson" (or "spokeswoman", etc), then after they squirm, ask them to explain how exactly you're wrong in using the un-PC words. They'll have to either admit their pettiness, or more likely begin calling you names, which is how you can always tell that you've won an argument against a liberal.

This Politico article is more offensive than Nancy.
Do these lib “reporters” ever get embarrassed by the cover they give the Dims?

Pelosi haters, and there are plenty of them...Yes, there certainly are, and she has earned every one of us. OK, I don't hate, but I strongly dislike and disdain her.)
Pelosi, it appears, got into trouble for the opposite reason: She was trying to come up with the most PC way of describing African-Americans in a public forum -- in hopes of offending no one -- and wound up with a very un-PC quote that is likely to cause at least some offense.
That's what the stupid liberals get for worrying so much about such mindless things in the first place.

Did you see how she was afraid to say Cracker?That's
it! You didn't call me that word but
you used it and I'm really ticked off now and I'm not going to take it any more!
I'm going to call the NAAWP
(damn, what I intended as a jest is actually real) and stomp my foot until Congress passes hate crime legislation against people like you from denigrating other people.
I'm going to get Jesse Helms on board to be my resident race pimp in memoriam and we're going to organize against this hateful speech.
Nabisco...you better gird your Ritzy, antagonistic loins! You can't use the "c" word any longer with impunity. Words
will be excised under the guise of political correctness!
sorry, you roused the inner comic

Ms. Nutzy is the epitome of Progressive Liberalism. Elitism and aristocracy run amok. The US is in a dangerous free fall because of this ruling class mentality. The Republicans had better step up to the plate and be VERY VOCAL about all of the abuse of power going on in this admin. before the crash landing ahead. Even the liberals will be stunned by the carnage. The American people are fed up and are mobilizing for the Nov elections. Just watch us!
