What is that supposed to mean? They're called blackouts because the power goes out, including the lights, leaving the room dark, or black. Brownouts, I think are when the lights flicker, or go off for just a minute, not as bad as blackouts, or not as dark, brown! Seriously, your statement would be like me complaining about liquid ink, or white-out.
On a side note, where can I get my own people? I notice many posts contain "my people". I don't have my own "people" and was just wondering if you could get that at Wal-Mart or K-Mart.
Seriously though, I never hear of white people saying "my people" unless they are radicals. I notice that other ethnicities use it all the time. Just curious.
