i was referring to my wife. but then she's a moor so i
guess it doesn't really matter what she has to say
about the term because after all she's moor and she
should just accept her second class status as a moor,
as defined by the ameri-eurocentric labellers/masters.
and if arabs wish a say then they'd better recognize
themselves for what they are which is moors and not
question the term, and therefore refer to themselves
as moors.

her view would matter about as much as it would if she
were black saying nigger is offensive. or maybe she's
just a sand-nigger.

any niggers on the list wish to jump in and explain
how and why nigger is offensive and why 'moor' should
not be considered as such? 

'the way it's always been' argument holds about as
much water as a smashed glass.

(i suppose that was mildly childish, but then fuck it
i don't allow for other interpretations do i? 
it's interesting how when i raise an interpretation on
this list i'm attacked for not seeing the other
versions. no one ever stops to think that i may have
already seen them, had problems with them, and have a
right to question them. oh but then i'm young right
and young ppl should be seen and not heard.)
