    Maybe I’m the only one, but I use ‘stay’ when I know someone is living somewhere temporarily. ‘What dorm do you stay in?’ ‘Oh, you’re here for a six-month assignment, where do you stay?’ If I’m speaking of someone’s permanent residence I ask ‘where do you live?’

    If this is the case then I won’t hear another Italian go on about their Grandma’s ‘gravy’. I won’t hear another Irish person tell me about stepping out on St. Patrick’s Day. The differences make this country an interesting place to live. For some reason people are threatened when black people celebrate their own culture and successes. Blacks aren’t the only group to celebrate, nor should we be. Tracie, you say ‘Don’t think we owe you something because of what people did over 100 years ago.’ That’s the whole point of the NAACP Awards and the BET Awards, blacks aren’t looking to you for recognition, we are giving it to the people in the community as a sign of respect and support, it has nothing to do with white people at all.
