At the gas pump

[joek]

For the sake of clarity and history in the 1970's those people whose ancestors came from Africa wished to be referred to at that time as African Americans. When folks discussed them as a group that was the term used. Times change. They now wish to be referred to as Blacks. The initial discussion at the gas pump was proper. It was not a discussion of race. It was simply how they wish to be referred to by others. America has always been a melting pot of various nationalities. We are long past the use of slang words for many nationalities. You would have to live here and be a part of such a culturally diverse country to truly appreciate this progress.
