#3 I can't believe this. I thought the Koch brothers were kicking dogs, stealing purses from little old ladies,selling drugs to children and polluting the environment.

#6 "The word "Negro" is used in the English-speaking world to refer to a person of black ancestry or appearance. The word negro denotes 'black' in the Spanish and Portuguese, derived from the ancient Latin word, niger (e.g. Nigeria), 'black', which itself ultimately is probably from a Proto-Indo-European root *nekw-, 'to be dark', akin to *nokw- 'night'."

bhel is Proto-Indo-European for white so why not?
