Steve, You are a little bit behind in your current events. But its probably not an issue that you would be interested in anyway. There was no reference to an electrical blackout.
Moving on, the reason you don't feel it necessary to "identify" so to speak with a people is because "your people" were probably not enslaved and uprooted from their homeland, and forced to learn a language not familiar to them and separated from their families by shackles and chains while placed in the bottom of a ship stacked and packed liked sardines for months at a time while being forced to eat slop and live in their own feces. No, I don't hold you personally responsible...but hopefully you get the picture.
Before you say it... Some of "my people" are of NATIVE American decent...and some of them are not. My people is a reference to your decendants...a part of Native American and African culture that is EXTREMELY important. For me to deny my people, the kings and queens and the chiefs and the workers would be considered criminal...amongst 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.
