You _did_ invent the term "Hispania",Jack,so you should know first hand
about its silliness,right?

Aside from the fact that "and confused are they all" is an utterly un-
grammatical phrase,the only thing the above "observation" seems to indicate
is that you're assuming that Sister Souljah is universally accepted as a
spokesman for the African American community-a blatant assertion if there
ever was one,of course.

Likewise,what in the hell does it have to do with the original sub-
ject of this post?

Thanks for displaying the intellectual cowardice necessary to ignore Mr.
Nieporent's previous paragraph,Jack. What your "reply" to that paragraph
has to do with the _existence_ of those cultures (as opposed to your
solipsistic "denial" of their existence,whatever _that_ means) is an
intellectual puzzle I'll save for later,along with your suspicious argu-
ment that all Hispanics are "barbarians" by virtue of the actions of one
subset of that group.
