Haha, hopefully you got a good laugh out of that; if you didn't then you are probably black and I apologize for the insensitivity, but remind you that comedy dances on the edge between mediocrity and the obscene!

Just introducing myself, played WCIII off/on since it was originally released. Risk Devo, Eras Zombs, Diplo, TAF, and Space Command are my bread and butter. Probably will run into me in a risk lobby, let me know. Northrend server name: ringer117

Here's a tale from before slavery was abolished:
In the US, the number of representatives a state gets in the House of Representatives depends on the population. There was a debate on whether or not slaves should be counted as part of that population. The southern states wanted them to be counted to increase their power in the House of Reps and the northern states wanted them not to be counted to sustain their power in the House. So there was a compromise struck that counted slaves as 3/5 of a person when counting the amount of people to represent.
3/5 of a normal person = black person ---> 3/5 of a black person = 9/25 of a normal person
