That's silly. The word has been around longer than the use of it to designate a race. Besides, Black people aren't all "black" and I highly doubt it was African Americans that decided they wanted to be referred to as Black. Whose idea was it? Bet it was a democrat.
Hate to say it, but from the first day I saw CK pushing a very high octane caffeine drink on his viewers, I've been turned off by him. "By all means, young people, get hooked on caffeine and sugar power drinks". That shit is a problem, a destructive thing easily abused and contributes to developing diabetes later and changes personality/behavior in relationships too. Have you ever known somebody addicted to legal stimulants so they are hyper and edgy all the time? They are a fkn pain in the ass and usually have B O. I love caffeine, even need it. But did learn my low limit and can't consume sugary stuff much. It makes me hurt all over. Just sayin' shame on CK
Get lots of vite C. And take it. Lots and lots of it. Other than that very proactive thing, do what you would do to avoid catching a cold. Hard to do that if you are out in public, but the high C will protect you from getting clobbered by anything going around.
The irony.
