Which countries are accepting of black Americans? I dont want to go to one expecting a nice vacation & face open racism in every city and/or be robbed becaues they assume I'm a rich American. I know some US cities have open racism. But I know where they are & avoid them.
I want to visit other countries to learn how people live & see different parts of this planet. I'm not the type of black woman depicted in the media or a rude, spoiled American. So, I don't want to be treated that way without being given a chance to disprove the bad stereotypes about blacks. I've heard that some areas of the world only know about black women through the media and view them as sex objects to the extent that they will touch a black woman inappropriately if they meet one. Or are afraid a black person will shoot or rob them.
Comments that insult me or do not inform me about what I asked will be reported. I'd prefer answers from anyone who has been to or lives in a city outside the US.Thanks! :)

You are sacrificing a lot by protecting this country and being overseas. Thank you from the bottom of my heart and God Bless you!
To the Vets - God Bless you for your service and hopefully you are enjoying this Father's Day with your families.

My Dad served in Korea. He died 15 years ago. He was a GREAT man and father. I was lucky enough to marry a man who is as outstanding of a father as my Dad was.

I've had this problem for a while and it's driving me nuts. I will take it to mechanic, but would like to know first if there's something I can do for it. Sometimes it starts, sometimes, doesn't. The thing is, battery is fairly new and I got it tested at AutoZone yesterday, it's fine. If it doesn't start, no noise comes out, but the fan kicks in occasionally. Also, when I give it a jump start, it starts right away. Also, when I got a push start yesterday (it's standard), it kicked in right away. They tried to tell me it was the ignition switch. Doesn't seem like. Maybe cables around the battery? Usually, when I jump start it, it will start on its own next few times. It's like it needs a boost once in a while. The nods on the battery were already changed. Please advise.

I was wondering if a dog had to be under anesthesia in order to be micro chipped...is this a process that can be completed without the anesthesia?

I know of some vets that have preferred to do the micro chipping while the dog is under in order to be fixed. I am adopting a greyhound that will most likely already be fixed when I get her but I would prefer her to be micro chipped as well.

I was going to ask my adoption agency if they would be able to micro chip her as they are fixing her, but I have a feeling she might be fixed before they even get her....so it may not be possible.

All serious answers welcome! Thanks for your help in advance....

PS - I really do not want to be preached to on the basis of why or why not to micro chip. I have made up my mind, so go away if that is your intention.

Thanks again!!!

Well, my boyfriend told me that he thinks he liked this girl more then me and not to worry about it. ((but it was his ex-girlfriend)) So, of course I worried about it and talked to her about it. ((like any normal girl would do.)) she told me that she didn't like him and I wouldn't have to worry about her ever liking him. So, me and him were on the phone and I was waiting for the perfect moment to tell him that I talked to her, but her brother called yelling at him for liking his sister. So, he asked me what I said to her and I told him everything. I apologized so many times and he kept saying "it's okay don't worry about it." So ten minutes later he yelled at me saying I backstabbed him and that he couldn't trust me, but this already happened to us once and we broke up and got back together cause he wanted me. So now its been 2 weeks and I still have so many feelings for him. What should I say to him to get us back together? I've said sorry and everything. maybe you have a better plan.

The Mayan civilization, known for the accuracy in their calendars and predictions, have determined the world will end in December of 2012. Also a couple of other none related ancient civilizations have made the same prediction for 2012. Do you think as the year approaches, we will hv similar hysteria as we had asssociated with Y2K ???
