There are two black men who post here pretty much daily. Are they supposed to preface their comments with "Hi, my name is ____________ and I'm a black man?"

Recently someone said that no blacks posted and I was a little insulted for the 2 men who post daily and the one who posts pretty regularly to scorch our asses. :)

I think "dominant" means things like I don't have to spell out words or explain who politicians are because I assume everyone will know, while someone from elsewhere is going to have to constantly think about whether or not they'll be understood.
