A little while back I sat down with my friend to help her look for scholarships for her son to apply for. She wanted to help him but didn't know where to start so I offered to help her.

She had a book full of scholarships available, just like I did when I was preparing for college. I told her the first place to start was to mark out the ones he wasn't eligble for.

Nearly half of them were marked out simply because he wasn't black.

Does anybody else see this as unfair? Do blacks deserve more help simply because they are black? Do black people really deserve more help because of the color of their skin? Don't bring up the slave thing. It's pathetic. You, nor your parents, and I bet your grandparents were not slaves...


And another 10 or so because he wasn't from the county the school is in.

Okay ever since I've entered junior high none of the black kids have ever liked me. I don't know why though. I guess it was the way i dressed back then. I still have the same problems. A lot of the black girls don't like me. I don't know why. I did not do crap to them. according to them, i'm too preppy or too white-washed. I get plenty of dirty looks. The black dudes are nicer i guess, even though plenty of them have made fun of me & stuff. I'm black, or shall I say Nigerian American. Why aren't i excepted into the black community?

I work in CA where there is job protection for LGBT. My employer has about 900 employees, but there are real hold over racial and LGBT issues. The org has gone thru serious growth in the last years and has become a very diversified workforce. It had litigation serious racial issues a few years before I started, and a fair amount of the old guard has retired. But, there is still serious tension. Senior management is attempting to address the racial problems, but LGBT discrimination isn't given much attention. We have formed an LGBT "affinity group" as have many of the ethnic minorities. Whereas their issues are treated seriously, ours are basically ignored. For example, many know there is an unofficial anti-gay "newsletter" written and circulated via email by a group that's been brought to mgt attention, but nothing's been done since we don't have a hard copy. Quiet slurs and so forth aren't endemic but not all that uncommon either.

Do you have any advice for us?

A girl wearing a strap-on dildo is a real turn-on for me. It makes her seem even more erotic and mysterious and threatening. I'm not gay but I enjoy crossdressing. Does anyone else get excited by this?

One month since our first date. We talk everyday. We both do the calling, she seems to do a little less than I. I am very verbal about my feelings about her, ie: I am really glad you came over tonight, being with you makes me really happy, I missed you today...I might say several things in a day...she says none and sometimes laughs if I say one too many...says it's over doing. She tends to believe that verbal isn't needed, if you show someone you are into them...ie: frequent dates, physical intimacy, making an effort to make a nice dinner etc. All of these things she does do. I tend to want to say something thoughtful when we hang up the phone, she just says Bye. Is this just a case of different styles of communication and romance? What are signs you would look for to know some is REALLY into you?

I have "Feminine" tastes in movies and activites, I like Cher and Madonna and Rocky Horror. I hang out in a Gay Straight Allience at my college and I'm a really nice person. Everyone automaticly assumes I'm gay, not that it matters at all, but can't people fathom a sensitive straight guy who supports gay rights (I also speak strongly for Minority and Women's rights but no one notices that), and who happens to like things classically associated with gay culture?

Gay Marriage in Massachusetts! Yay! (Was anyone else outside the state house for that celibration?)

Man. There's this girl in my mass communication. She is gorgeous, smart, funny, down to earth, and she's gay (Yay!). Sometimes I just wanna jump on her in the middle of class! I want her, but not just for sex, i really like her. I'm just afraid of actually approching her. My friends tell me I have nothing to worry about, but i'm still scared and a little upset from my last relationship. How do i do this?

If you were born in Sicily, or are of Sicilian descent, I would like to hear from you. How do you feel about your Sicilian heritage. Do you still get stereotyped as having dealings with the Mafia? Do you think our society has gotten past that? I still have people who, upon my telling them that I am from Sicily, will jokingly ask if I'm in the mob.

I don't really like when people leave book long answers because I don't feel like sitting there and reading the hole thing forever.

I've noticed that some people who face discrimination get angry and turn it towards others. Doesn't that make you just as predjudice?

I am ready for some bashing, but I just have to ask why would someone who is straight would get into it? Any good comments on that? And of course you little 13 year old boys put your stupid comment here too.
