With all the media attention that "Kramer" is receiving, doesn't it make society wonder why this is so important. As an African-American female, I feel pity for people who use this word. I am black, but I am not the "N" word. Just because I am one I don't have to be the other. It's about time that the public starts taking notice of the accomplishments that a person makes and stop putting the focus on their skin color. Is the amount of melanin in a person's skin important enough to negate all the wonderful works that person may have done? Surely, in today's times we can look past this. With all the terrorist activities and all of our soldiers dying overseas in war started by an idiot, have we forgot the focus. I would like everyone to take the time to reflect back on an incident or incidents in their past that caused them to develop into people who would glorify such stupidity. Yes, being black I have encountered ignorant people using the word. I just ignore them. Try doing the same!!!!

for example, Tobit, Judith, Baruch, Maccabees... I've never heard of these before yet they are apparently included in all orthodox and Catholic Bibles. They've never been in any of my Bibles and my pastor has never mentioned them (I'm methodist).

I understand all beliefs , even amongst the tribes still in the stone age have a faith of sort in the spirit or soul going somewhere else after the transition we call death. I believe there is more to life as we know it , there is a reason why we are here in this planet , in this thinking beings, in this search of the understanding of the great mystery, what do you think/

(This thought experiment may be at first disturbing. Please read all the way to the end.)

In both Anglebrook and Bordendtown, there lived very few Jewish familes. As it happens, one Jewish family in each town put a lit Menorah in their window during Hannukah season, and each family had the awful experience of having a rock thrown through their window, aimed at the Menorah.

Both communities responded, but in different ways.

In Anglebrook, the town council passed a hate crimes bill, outlawing attacks against property for religious reasons. This law passed unanimously.

In Bordentown, the local hardware store placed Menorahs on sale for $2.00 each, and within 3 days, more than 800 homes had Menorahs shining in their windows.

IN WHICH COMMUNITY WOULD YOU RATHER RESIDE? WHY?

In what way does your reasoning stem from your personal faith or ethics?

As we all know Africa is in some ways a mess at the moment.. a high level of AIDs war and poverty.... even though slavery is wrong, it did in my opinion have a good result in terms of Black people in UK and USA etc... The Irish famine in some ways had good results too. think of all the Irish in USA and UK, Austriala etc.. Maybe something bad can turn into something good.
Have to laugh at the southern kkk though, talking about an all white nation when it was people like them that brought the slaves over in the first place!!
im not from the USA but im sure that if you ask any African American would they prefer to live in USA or say for example in Botswanna,,, 99% would say USA..
What are your views? Also I apologise in advance if i have offended any of the more "politically correct" people out there.. no offence intended ...

Are you open minded and not a pc-drone? Type in a Quran search engine “fight”, “kill”, “enemies”. Actually I can make this easier, just check out this website that lists some of the hundreds of Jihad ayas, and then double check them in an Islamic site to insure authenticity.

Ok, so there are countless commands to kill and fight the unbelievers…what do Muslims say.

“Its only for defense! It doesn’t mean what it says, its not for genocide of all unbelievers.” Yea well, why does the Quran use hundreds of sentences to describe what you claimed it said with one easy phrase? Swear to Allah that any religion, which commands the murder of people, simply cause of unbelief, must be false.

“it doesn’t say that!!” Why you avoiding the question. I’m trying to find out whether your lying to me intentionally. This can be easily done by your swearing to Allah that you believe what your IMPLYING you believe, but not saying you believe.

When the white men bought Africans to America, what was their reasons for hating blacks? They had never seen blacks before so how can you hate something you have never seen?. So can it be safely assumed that racism towards blacks actually has no root? Is it generated and grown from personal distaste such as typical racists today will use the usual "black gangsters/welfare/ghetto" stereotype for their reasons. *gagging* If there were no black slaves, would racism for blacks exist? i.e. jim crow, civil rights movements, etc
