Black People : Exploring this concept called 'Discrimination'.

It would seem from the definition and etymology of the word discriminate meaning to make distinctions, the vulgar has distorted the original meaning of the word.

Agreed. Yet at the same time, does this say something about allowing others to take primacy over these words?

So then, for the sake of discussion, let us deal with the word 'discrimination' in its most true and original meaning as bluelighted.

By treating all Nubians as the same, discrimination is failing to be employed.
 
Addendum.

Something that our children will face, and we have done nothing in regards to Black Nationalism or collective economics to provide institutions of employment for them.

I believe you misunderstand me.

To discriminate means to distinguish.

If Nubians are treated as a monolithic group rather than individuals, there is no distinction being made, thus a failure to discriminate.
