About 40% Spanish today according to sources.

Black is accurate. They don't get a pass. It is one syllable compared to 7 syllables for their recently invented word.
circa 86
Montgomery County, MD Schools
Percentages
About 20 black
2 Hispanic
2 Asian
76 white

Langley and Herndon had race fights/riots back in the mid 70's.

Not sure what this person was stating that Langely was considered for closing and becoming a PreK-8 school, it did not and is not going to happen, but they recall the race riots.

The very, very few blacks at McLean were not your typical violent savages. Naturally, the football and basketball teams were terrible, but at least it was a safe place.

I went to T.C. Williams in the 70s.
Negroes everywhere. If I wasn't a minority, it was close to it.
Even more at GW which was 9th and 10th grade at that time. Definitely a minority there.
Lots didn't get past that level.

It did happen, but only at Langley HS in Pittsburgh.
A race riot at Langley HS in McLean would only break out if a natural blonde discovered that another white girl was a fake blonde.

Is that not the Truth! Really what is this "African" thing ? With all the confusion on names, "Blacks" for people who are not close to being black thou some are, I think I will just use the proper name "Negro's" from now on to avoid confusion.
Your either a "AMERICAN" or Your NOT! And Your either American Native Indian Asian , White, or A Negro.
Arabs, Indians from India and Spanish are White BTW.

No, it's a well known fact that black people weren't invented until the early '90s.

Robinson had maybe 50 blacks in the early 80's. Most were pretty decent people. There was the wannabe ghetto crowd, but that was only 5 or 6 of them. This one ghetto wannabe girl was less than five feet tall and had tits the size of basketballs. Biggest natural tit, weight, height ratio I have ever seen. I bet she looked like a blob 10 years later though

Please, we prefer to be called "Nordic Americans" and don't confuse us with that other group that looks like us that prefers to be called "Scandanavian Americans". To call us anything else is racist.

It'll take millions of years for blacks to evolve into humans.
