One in every three black males is in some phase of the correctional system. Is that a coincidence or do these people have, you know, like a racial commitment to crime? Seriously why does it seem like everyttime I turn on the news some black guy is commitmenting a crime . I mean the numbers don't lie . We're so hung up on this notion that we have some obligation to help the struggling black man, you know. Cut him some slack until he can overcome these historical injustices. It's crap. I mean, Christ, Lincoln freed the slaves, like, what? 130 years ago. How long does it take to get your act together? This is a serious question please help me answer this and free me from my negative perception of these people !! !!!

After all It wasn't him that started that old crazy Asian war and he was proud to go and do his patriotic chore. He did also realise the wants and needs of a woman her age but admittedly he would get his gun and put her in the ground if he could.

If you think she was right do you not at least think she could close the door quietly as that would be the decent thing to do instead of slamming it all the time?

I'm a white American of Dutch descent and she is Latin American of Argentine descent. She has brown hair, light skin, green eyes, and sharp facial features that Caucasians generally have, in other words she looks like a regular Caucasian women. But for some reason when I tell some people that I'm dating an women from Argentina they think its an interracial relationship when IMO I don't think it is. Correct me if I’m wrong but isn’t Argentina populated mostly by people who migrated there from Germany, Italy, and France which are all white countries? So really, we may be of different cultures but not race, I’m I correct?

Why are there these 2 stereotypes of British people: 1. They are shy/inhibited 2. They don't have sex

I'm 18, 5'2 and 101 lbs and head cheerleader.

Last night I fainted during our fill the gym basketball game. Lets just say the gym was full. I woke up, everything was blurry and all I could see was the ceiling of the gym but I was moving about to go under a door. I felt all these hands under me and I screamed and started shaking until they finally lowered me. It was the group guys who paint their bodies. I dont know why they had to carry me like that and even though I appreciate them moving me, I'm so confused. Why so many of them carrying me and why so high up? I'm freaked out by what happened, but even more confused. I've never seen someone who has fainted handeled like that. Why would they do that?

A few publications have printed articles on this. Especially within the past five years. A disproportionate number of boys are being diagnosed with learning disabilities and are being put in special classes in schools. Many more women now attend and graduate college than men. Incarceration rates for young males are quite high. How did men go from being leaders to this?

Because of the rise of liberalism, and when I say liberalism, I don't mean the dictionary definition type of liberal but the type of liberal that doesn't have a sense of right and wrong and oppresses and labels socially conscious people as "prudes", "bigots", or "tree huggers". Our society now thinks the following things are ok:

Affluenza
Crappy parenting or lack of parenting
Sex and children out of wedlock
Tolerance of a rise in violent crime
Sugarcoated racism
Rapid urban sprawl and land rape
Obscene media being shown in the middle of the daytime for all children to see
Making an unborn child suffer just because his/her parents decide to have a child out of wedlock
Absence of manners, courtesy and decency
Divorce without even trying to resolve marital problems
Shame of morals (Ashamed of virginity? WTF?)
Tolerance of everything above but oppression and intolerance of religion and spirituality

If I'm only 20 and show concern, why can’t you? And dammit I'm not a Repub

I have a teenage son who is going to turn 17 soon. He is a very nice and lovable young man, loved by his friends and his teachers.
He is an American-Russian kid, into music -metal/rock-, doing great at school and having good time here in the US.
However, Mexican kids and their friends keep trying to start fights with him for no reason. Sometimes they make fun of his English accent. My son keeps avoiding them not because he is weak - He is a well built kid - but because he does not want to get in any kind of violent act.
Do not get me wrong people. I have nothing against Mexicans or any other Hispanic people, they are nice and decent. However, what is going on with some kids there.
Me myself I am an American-Russian woman. However, some of us were born somewhere else and have accents.
Again, my friends don’t get me wrong just answer me: what is going on?
Many thanks for your kind answers.

The most racist people you will ever meet are the hispanics!

Ever hear of la raza?

So how come they, and the blacks can have their own exclusively rase-based organizations that are seen as good, when a comporable white organization would be considered racist, banned or worse???

It seems society only crys racism when it's a white person doing the aggression.

Thoughts?

Why is it that in our world today there are thousands of people dieing thousands suffering and thousands being oppressed. Yet people talk about big brother are they not living in the real word. Why not ask when is oppression in Zimbabwe going to end or why are children dieing of starvation when there is so much food.

Are young employees (<30) more likely to not get hired than someone over 30 that is overweight. I have a friend who is an HR worker saying that employees that are overweight and young, under 30, are more likely to get discriminated against do to the fact that young people are supposed to energetic, acitve and go-getters hence they shouldn't be overwieght. That could point to them being lazy and not ambitious. What do you think on this?

Im curious about something. See when I was growing up, my dad always put me down by saying that I hung out with people younger then me. For example I would be 13 and have friends that are 11 or so then 14 years old, have friends that are 12. Now I'm 26, and feel that all my friends have to be my age or older. I hang out with people in their 40's and feel comfortable, and it seems that society is ok with it. Now if I want to live in a college dorm, they people would look at me funny and say that people in dorms ages are from 18-20, so why would you hang out with people like that? I'm like is there a big difference? My question is why do people look down at others who are friends with people who are younger? Also why don't people say, wow that person you hang out with is in his 40's, he's too old for you.

also it seems like the more conservative someone is, the more likely they would do this.
