Thank you for everybody who answered my question. Most of them were respectful. But I think I didn't make myself clear.
After reading lots of questions about racism, I've seen a lot of replies about slavery. I asked why.
Here's what I meant: Let's get it straight - most of black people have decent lives, jobs, degrees, good families, good friends, etc. But for those who don't; why do you say it is due to slavery that happened many many decades ago? A lot of black people made it in life even if they had a grand or great grand parent who was a slave...Of course I don't want you guys to forget about your history, this would be ashamed. But why do you give slavery as an excuse when your life is hard? Many other races have a hard time too today, even whites. Sorry, just trying to understand.

It seems everyone these days wants to be called some name that identifies their race. Blacks wanted to called African AMericans, Hispanics Latinos and Chinese want to be called Asians. It is strange though that people from India and Iran are not called Asians when they too are from the continent.

However whites are still called white. I have no problem with that because I am proud of my race but isn't it time to call the white race European Americans? Our ancestors came from Europe.

Ok, the question is this....If a black man is in a country mainly with white people and he sees a black man and nods his head....What is that? I'm just asking cause I had a friend who would say hello and greet them, etc. I just put myself in his situation, if I was in Kenya and I would see a white person pass by.....It really wouldn't make a difference to me...Could it be a bit racist?

we are in the bus, (IN SPAIN), i live,study and work there. this bus official goes around handing leaflets to passengers asking them to write down their opinions on what to be done to improve the bus services,they gave everyone apart from the blacks that we were in the bus, i use this bus everyday to and fro...later i followed him and asked why he dint give us the leaflets(he actually skipped us when he reached where we were sitted,and we were not all in one sit, but in different sits), he dint know or want to hear the query and tried to say its not him its the other coleaque, i found it quite irritating.

I've heard that the only "true" Americans are of Native American descent. The rest who are of European, Asian, and African descent aren't "true" Americans (even if they were born in the America's). What about those of us who are of both Native American and European (or Asian, or African) descent? Are we considered "true" Americans?

I've been reading those questions about racism. A lot of them are really extrem about blacks beeing criminals, lazy, etc. I don't think that's right of course.
Maybe it's because I'm caucasian that I don't get it, but why do you always reply with the history of slavery? It's been so many decades ago...you were not even born...I understand for your grand parents et great grand parents, but why our generation still give that one?

I live around mostly hispanics and am often snared at by the women. Do hispanic women have some hate for women with blond hair and blue eyes or something? I haven't done anything to any of them so what is their problem?

sorry for the poorly worded question, but if I and my same sex lover move into your neighborhood, or apartment complex, or I, a gay man, start working where you work, and put a picture of myself and another male, both wearing wedding rings, on my desk...(this will sound more like a challenge than I want, but) what are going to do about it?

Discuss any of the following questions. I’m interested in what everyone else thinks!

1)Why would an adolescent individual, male or female, whose early home life has failed to nurture emotional and mental needs, seek identity with a group of young people who participate in criminal activities?
2)How does an adolescent individual feel like they belong in a gang, when they have been arrested because of violet crime participation, and their friends have left them?
3)What is the “glamour” of having an ASBO, a life of crime, a criminal record? Why are they strived for within groups, used as a points-scoring tool against friends and enemies? Why are they sought after for validation, success and belonging in a group?
4)“Its human nature to associate in groups. If young people feel they’re being labeled as gang members because they do so, then they are more likely to behave according to those expectations.” WHY?
5)Not all young people in gangs participate in criminal activity. There might be one or two within a group however, that start doing phone robberies and deal weed. Why do they want become feared in their neighborhoods and ruin their health?
6)When in a gang, what is the attraction of having as many accessories as possible, or the most expensive stuff? Accessories such as necklaces/chains, earrings, rings, bracelets, mobiles, MP3s, trainers, sportswear… etc?

Having just read an article entitled 'Gangs', I couldn't help but feel shocked and, quite frankly, disgusted at some points discussed. I just wondered if there was anyone else out there who felt the same as me; ‘taken aback’ or ‘not surprised’ on some points raised?

*Young people may choose to join groups or simply become associated with them because of the estate they live on, or through family and friends.

*Gang members are significantly more likely than non-group members to be involved in crime, take drugs or carry weapon.

*The perceived glamour and rewards of the “gangsta” lifestyle act as a magnet for some disaffected pupil; not one of the gang members in one Manchester study had completed formal education.

*While some young people are attracted to the perceived glamour of the gangsta lifestyle, many more joining for the safety and sense of belonging.

*According to a Home Office study, almost half comprise a mixture of boys and girls, and one in 10 gang members are part of a group composed mostly, or entirely, of females. It is becoming increasingly common for women to be the perpetrators of violence.

*Other features of gang membership may include a common dress code and slang and initiation rituals, although these are more common in the US than in Britain.

Having just read an article entitled 'Gangs', I couldn't help but feel shocked and, quite frankly, disgusted at some points discussed. First off, the term ‘gang’ has been thrown about in the media so much that it is a word that associates with the demonstration of negative and/or socially unacceptable behavior and conjures images of extremely defiant individuals. I wondered what the general public thought?
