Cultures & Groups - 13 September 2006

I am a white 40 year old male. My 15 year old daughter said the "N" word by putting the letter "A" at the end instead of an "R", to a friend. She told me everyone says it at school, white and black. I find this word to be very offensive. I told her that it might not be offensive to young people but it surely is to adults and if I hear her saying it again she will be grounded. She states it's not the same thing as the "N" word and my wife agrees. Do you find it offensive like I do? Please state your age and race when answering this question and if you have kids. Thank you.

Don't you realize?

Being slim = Working out.
Being overweight = Eating and watching TV.

Overweight people are lazy, so why do you complain that you always lose to the slim people in every aspect of life except for eating contests?

They look ***VERY similar.*** Is one group wealthier (because of rich parents) than the other? Is one more into music than the other? Is one more political than the other? I truly can't tell them apart. Thanks

OK here is the deal.
g0ys are people who dont consider themselves gay because there is a stigma folloing this word, and they define themselves as guys who just like guys and that they follow the bible by not practicing anal sex and by also being married but play with guys at the same time...So, if you were a black person who didnt like this stigma following the black community like stealing,drugs, killing, ghettos etc. would you change your identity to bl0ck instead of black? If you are an American who hates all this nationalism and wars whould you change your nationality into an Am0rican? Just to show to others that you dont belong to these groups or to the impression they give? Instead of fighting to prove that this is not the case? The only thing that u guys will achieve is to get people who are just scared of their sexuality and the gay scene to join you because they are not ready yet. I know I would seek refuge to you when I was young and afraid,but it would only be an illussion.

I never had a problem with race until recently. And I would dare say that it is not a race issue but a problem with black men in general. I would love for an intelligent black man who knows what he is talking about to respond to this. Is it a trend? What do "they" provide that "we" don't? Is it "you"?
I am open to all cultures answering, but I challenge a black man to answer this openly and honestly without a snide remark.
Thank you.

My best friend was once married. She left her ex-husband and a little while later she fell in love with a woman. My best friend has two beautiful children with her ex. But he has done nothing but harass her since she has been with her girlfriend. The ex-husband and his family have call DCYF on them and posted just nasty things about them because she is happy and in love with a woman! So is there any information out there that can help her try to stop him from Harassing her and her new family. I mean come on...falling in love with someone just happens we can't control how we feel; whether it is with a woman/woman or man/man or even women/men. So any information would be helpful so that I can pass it along to her she is just out of hope and is tired of being questioned on how or why she lives her life this way!

Thanks

For instance, the particular ethnicities I'm thinking of are mostly the Latin Europeans such as Spaniards, Portuguese, and Italians, and then also the other southern Mediterranean Europeans such as Greeks for example. Do you think they're all "white" , per se ? Particularly interested to hear the opinions of "non-white" people on this issue as well.

Also, why are the Latin Europeans, from where the whole Latin culture and the Latin languages, etc, came into central and south America, why are they not (usually) called "Latins" today anymore in America? In reality, though, they ARE of a Latin culture and speak Latin (based) languages just like all the people we call "Latinos" in America today (there are even a lot of certain cultural similarities between Spaniards, Italians, Portuguese, and central and south Americans for example).

Napoléon Bonaparte, Jack The Ripper, John Dillinger, Albert Henry DeSalvo - The Boston Strangler - , Phil Collins, Billy The Kid, Fidel Castro, F.W. DeKlerck (the inventor of apartheid), Tom Cruise (Nutbag extraordinaire), Nicole Kidman (beanpole ex-wife of Nutbag extraordinaire), Sophie Wessex (pallid royal hanger-on), Whoopi Goldberg, Fran Drescher, are all lefties. Surely this is a clear indication that all left handed people should be fitted with devices that deliver painful electric shocks every time they try to use their left hands, thus forcing them to become normal human beings?
