Caucasian Rug
Types Of Rugs
There are many types of rugs. Oriental, Persian, Tibetan, Caucasian, War, Prayer, Flokati, kids, indoor/outdoor, hand made, amd machine made rugs. There are many different types of rugs that can be used for many types of things.
Oriental rugs, Persian rugs, Tibetan rugs and Caucasian rugs are all hand made. These rugs are made on a loom by hand or they are woven by hand. It generally takes a year or longer to make a large, hand woven rug. These rugs have designs on them that are called motifs. Every time the design or color of the rug changes the person making the rug has to change the fabric. And, because each rug is hand crafted, the design on each is just slightly different. Most of these hand made rugs are made with wool; however, some rugs are made of silk, animal hair (such as wool) or cotton.
War rugs are rugs that are made in Afghanistan. Women started weaving symbols of war into rugs when the Soviets invaded Afghanistan. War rugs were also made in Afghanistan after September 11, 2001, depicting scenes from the world trade center tragedy. War rugs are in high demand today because many people see them as collectibles. Some war rugs sell for as much as $25,000.
Prayer rugs are generally hand made; however, prayer rugs can be machine made. Prayer rugs are one sided rugs that are used by Muslims and others to kneel for prayer on. The prayer rugs have an arch on one side for the person to put their knees under. Prayer rugs are used so that the person praying can be more comfortable and have a clean place to pray.
Kid's rugs are generally machine made and are meant to be used in a high traffic high use area. Kid's rugs often have pictures on them of things like roads, highways, planets, sports or other designs that would appeal to a child. Kid's rugs are made to go in a Childs room to accent the room. Kid's rugs are also used to give the child something to play with. For example a kid's rug with roads on it can be used as a highway for toy cars.
Flokati rugs are a type of rug that is of Greek origin. Flokati rugs are made of 100% wool. Once the rug is finished being woven it is bathed in mountain spring water and than hung to dry.

Why African American? Why can't I just be an American?
I don't understand why I can't refer to myself as an American (but I do anyway). If I call myself an American around a black person, they get angry. Society wants people like me to be labeled as an African American. On the other hand, the Caucasians are simply Americans. Why must they not call themselves European American? Why must I also sweep my Native Americans under the rug? What about them? My Native American ancestors are only three generations back, my African ancestors are further back in generations. I love all my ancestors. I think it's not fair to claim only one and ignore the others as if they are meaningless to me. If I'm going to label myself according to my ancestry, I might as well call myself African-Native-European American, if that makes any sense. If a new testament to the Holy Bible was created today, I doubt that I'd be referred to as an African American. More likely I would be described as an American followed by details of the structure of my body.
Use whatever you want.
By the way I'm "caucasian" and "American", but I most often say I'm French-Canadian since that's my heritage.
