(Three tries to get this. I'm officially retarded.)
According the the New York Yankees desktop calender, it's a legitimate color description (see image below). There's nothing I can say about this particular development that hasn't already been said, so I'll let the picture do the talking.
I'm serious considering buying a Newcastle United shirt, moving to England and living out the rest of my days as a pub-dwelling football hooligan.

I have no idea what to say about this.
The +2 is for at least thinking about buying the correct football/soccer shirt.

And speaking of hooligans, anyone seen Green Street Hooligans (I think it was alternately called Hooligans or something in Europe)? Fucking awesome movie.

I prefer Liverpool, but it is a good idea nonetheless.

this is made even better because of the fact most people with an italian background get pissed if you mention the fact they have black in them. especially sicillians.
african american is the worst pc term since administrative assistant. or maybe admin ass is the worst since aa. whatever. you get it.

I like the whole Native American issue. Do you know what most "Native Americans" call themselves? "Indians" oh yes they do, at least the ones I've encountered. I skirt the issue by referring to them by tribe or in the grand tradition of the American South pretend that I don't notice and can't be bothered with such trivialities as race.

I know it. I worked with a guy in Maine whose last name was Whitekiller (legally changed from Whitemankiller) and he would just shake his head and roll his eyes when someone called him a Native American.

I remember seeing a headline a while back that went something like "ABC coproration's profits back in the African-American".

I don't get it, does it actually say that on the calendar? If so then that's just dumb and not what the word ever was supposed to mean. Hell black people are not actually black any more than white people are actually white.
