Funny you should say that, because God Himself is Blue. I would be blue too, can you imagine what that would be like?
In the Brahma Samhita Text 30, Lord Brahma prays to the Supreme Being as follows:
venum kvanantam aravinda-dalaytaksam
barhavatamsam asitambuda-sundarangam
kandarpa-koti-kamaniya-visesa-sobham
govindam adi-purusam tam aham bhajami
"I worship Govinda, the primeval Lord, who is adept in playing on His flute, with blooming eyes like lotus petals with head decked with peacock feather, with the figure of beauty tinged with the hue of blue clouds, His unique loveliness charming millions of Cupids."
Just as a mass of blue clouds offers a specifically soothing, pleasant view, the complexion of Krsna is analogously tinted with a spiritual dark blue color.

That irritates me also. It refers to Africa most the time. But Shit lets be Honest, Africa is a Continent not a Country, Countries are in Africa.
So to ask what race are you? the Responce would be the Country you are from, Right?
Or the Country that your Ancesters are from.
Same with White. You cant say "I'm European". Europe has alot of Countries. What would white be? Race wise anyways.

well the statement wasn't directed towards you ,i was making a point.
another thing is i can trace my blood 60 or 70 years im a adopted and only know i have grandparents who are already dead :dead:
from what my sister(biological we also have diffrent dads) told me im mexican , with some apachi and philipino.althrough i proably do have some european in me due to my orangish redish hair on my goatee.
I'm a PR/Black man and I'm damn proud of it. I'm thinking of a 2pac song right now because of some earlier posts, in the song "White Man's World" he says "Everyone wants to be like us, To be the Have Nots cause aint nobody got it like us"
I'll be damned if I ever wanted to be something else so I can be accepted as a rapper, white guy wanting to be black to be accepted as a rapper is funny to me because this hip-hop/rapper shit is the "IN" thing right now what ya gunna do when being white and making songs about drinking monkey blood become the mainstream "IN" thing?

I sleep on the idea of separate "races" of human.
Ignorant are those who created the idea, and ignorant are those who keep it alive.
Like Xianex stated, "racism is a festering plague", because we still believe in separate races!
Those who started the idea are at fault as well as those who keep it in their thought and remain slave to it, bringing this suffering state of mind to other's who know not better.
When people have been unfairly discriminated against because of the color of their skin they respond by *discriminating* themselves, but in a more positive manner. Whether a people are separated by disallowing them to be in certain places/ having certain rights, etc. or by giving them their own television station is still *separation*.

lmao @ TRAGIC - wonderful choice 
many of you just said a color without a discriptive reason. like those of you that said white or just blacc.
tell me something. other than it being the only thing you know and shit like that. why wouldnt you trade positions?
i know if i had the capability of being a chameleon I WOULD!
I would change my color to suit ANY situation im in. honestly, in some of my post if i never said i was blacc many of you would NEVER believe it.
::stereotype:: not too many niggas are as clever with words as i am.

Well...I like being me. I'm black & white. But most people who don't know me, assume that I'm Puerto Rican or something. When I was in high school, people didn't understand me at all. They were like, how is it that you are in the gifted classes & a gang at the same time? How is is that you rap, but you also play the violin & the cello? All the black kids took Spanish class, I took German. HA! I loved the confusion. I heard it all...zebra, oreo, half-breed, you name it, I've heard it. I used to be real hostile about it, like fighting boys & throwing chairs in Spanish class. But now, I've gotten over the fact that people are just plain ignorant (as in uninformed). Where are those people who use to make fun of me now? Working at department stores & doing hair. Me? I had my Master's Degree at 22 years old. So now I laugh, and say eat my tan ass, punks! I still hear shit sometimes now, cuzz I not only like rap, r&b, & reggae, but other kinds of music as well (Korn, Primer 55, Creed, GodSmack, Disturbed, etc). People say that is my white side coming out. But is it really? Or does that just show that I chose to open my mind to things I thought I would never enjoy, and found out that I really do? People suck.
But bottom line, I wouldn't change myself. I'm stuck in the middle. I got the best of both worlds, and the worst of both worlds. But it's cool. I think I'm a better person for it. No pain, no gain, right?

i have two friends (they are brothers) that are Mexican from Mexico that have orange hair and freckles. now both of their parents are "indios del cerro" yet they came out red.
also
this kid that is on my baseball team. he is from El Salvador. he has hella freckles but otherwise looks like a Mexican. both of his oarents look Mexican, yet his older brother is totally red.
so i am kind of convinced that the red might come from the indiginous blood.
wasnt that Quetzlquatle (sp) character supposed to be a red headed aztec diety

white or blacc
I'm blacc and i love being blacc but i know for a fact it is a disadvantage especially in different work environments. my question is this if you had to choose a color what would you rather be and why would you see it to be an advantage for you opposed to the other.

Being white is only an advantage in this country.
Besides Europe, the whole world is colored....
