Hello Bitcoiners,
     
If you have seen some of my posts you can easily tell I'm a black guy from the hood.
I'm not ignorant or anything nor am I attempting to start a flame war of any sort.
BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER.........
HOW MANY BLACK PEOPLE MALE/FEMALE KNOW ABOUT OR USE BITCOIN?
Even if you have a black friend that you know uses bitcoin let me know I'm not alone.
I only talk bitcoin with my super cool white and asian friends. Grin

I didn't mean any harm but yeah I guess it was a SAD attempt @ humor.
But seriously my brother was saying that black people probably don't kno about BTC.
I was thinking maybe he was right.
Had to ask the homies on this forum 2 b sure like Al though.
Now I can prove his ass wrong. And I love all tech and all people.

@REALESTONE naww He's not, he's just surrounded by ratchets in the warzone of Chi-raq.LOL
 He's probably just generalizing based on his in depth observation of the local demographic.
I do not see as much bitcoin activity in Chicago as say for instance NY/LA/ATL
most young people here are too busy trying to be the next Chief Keef to give a damn about bitcoin.
Most of them would rather buy guns and loudpacks.
That might change when they realize u can do that and trade aggressively with btc.

I never understood why black people are being called African Americans. A lot of black people don't come from Africa.

Well, people often confuse Race & Ethnicity. Black is a race, and African-American is an ethnicity. It's not the the same.

I think the etnic/racial diversities are (mostly) being maintained by the minorities. What's wrong with just being called an American? I can understand that someone is proud of their heritage, but you don't need to mention it all the time right? They are drawing a line between themselves and 'real' Americans by holding on to the whole 'African-American' thing. We are all people and we are all the same. I don't give a crap if someone is black, white, yellow red or orange (guidos!).

well according to this


before the arrival of white folks in India it was inhabited by black people so that's cool Cheesy

btw this "American" in the mongloid race is as you guys call them "Indians" Wink
White people in America don't have a race Cheesy
They're a mixture of all European races xD

if he was that dark he's probably a Negrito
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negrito
as you can see they inhabit India  Grin
