No Puerto Rican I've met has ever objected to being called hispanic.

In the mean time, though, I'm talking about the negative effects of slavery on today's black society. If you have read the article and fully understood what it said, and you still believe that slavery is an excuse, then I'm not sure I have anything further to say to you. It's just a matter of different mindsets - perhaps even stubbornness - and to me, there's not much point in going back and forth over the issue.

Fine. That article was an opinion, one I don't agree with.
