Cultures & Groups - 9 October 2006

Im sure this will make some people mad, but I want to express myself and see how other people feel about this topic too. I am in no way racist.My family is filled with mixed races and cultures. But I do get very annoyed with the african amercian culture, with the whole racism topic. "White" people get such a bad rap with racism with other races, like african americans. mainly because of slavery 300 years ago, what I'm trying to get at, is that other races can be very racist against other races also, but it seems like the only race that its such a big deal to is african american. I work in a classroom with 4 "black" people, so i hear about us "whities" alot, people seem to very racist against hispanic people, but its like they dont matter! Sure, 60 years ago, blacks were separated from whites. but is it not unfair now, that they have several black only colleges? Black history month? Black Entertainment Tv? etc. What if there was a White only college,show,month? in 2006 not meaning then

be to go through all of their best answers and give them a "thumbs up"? or would that be in "VIOLATION" ?
Would you like that if someone did if for you, or would it seem insincere?
Yes, I know it's kind of a silly question and I happen to be O.K with that!

I am wondering if anyone else has had similar thoughts or dreams...
In my dream, there was a group of Black males called the Brotherhood. People from all walks of life were present from lyricists to scientists, and everyone was positively and constructvely working together. This group was facillitated by a White woman, and its purpose was to gather and develop world-changing ideas and projects. I have always been fascinated by similar ideas, but was amazed to wake up from such an in-depth dream, that made this brotherhood seem like an attainable reality. Many other cultures believe in this type of unity, and have organized groups to this end, but Blacks, however seem to have little sense of unity. Does anybody believe in the creation of such a group? Where would I have to look to find others who are like-minded?

There are so many questions on here about gay, lesbien, and bi-sexual, it makes me wonder........what if all these differences in sexuality, are a sign of evolution? Meaning that one day we will all be of the same gender? It's just something I thought of, and wondered if anyone else ever did!

My ex NY male prostitute skid row dweller drug addict presntly LA times writer friend Sam has just got back from Peru where he was on a purging diet drinking something called ayhauaca, a mixture of plants from the amazon forest. He went with my ex millionaire who left everything to pursue spiritual life asexual frenchmen addict body healer therapist friend Thiara Kumara, with whom he was big friends with. But, alas, when Sam came back he told me Thiara is going nuts because she's been drinking the mixture for a whole month now, lying naked in a room within the jungles of the amazon forest, having allucinatic trances the whole day. My friend Sam knew in Peru a very handsome xamanic priest with whom he fell in love spiritually and now Thiara has sent Sam a letter from Peru saying that everybody there is scandalized of knowing he was caught jerking off in his suposedly spiritual room. He told me he never done that and now Thiara broke the friendship with him because she thinks it's true.

I had a friend from up north tell me she was annoyed by Texas pride. When she said that I thought about it and realized many Texans do have a lot of pride in their state. People drive Texas edition trucks, you can find Texas merchandise everywere, of course there's the Houston Texans (football team), etc. Not to mention, we identify ourselves as Texans (talk to any Texan and you'll see what I mean). But then someone told me no other state but Texas does that. So I 'm curious, do other states display state pride or not?

I've heard from numerous military folk that there is SO much gay sexual activity going on in the military that officials are finding it hard (excuse the pun) to keep it under wraps. Does being in the military give you a free pass on what gender you can have sex with while you're enlisted?

A Friend of mine thinks her parents are because they were the ones she most trusted in and, a while ago, they faked her signature and sold a house she owned and they didn't give her a penny and she just knew that was going on six months after the house was sold.

what would you do if you discover that your friend supports those who talk against you?

recently i found out that my close friend was laughing and supporting those who believed that i am stupid.. he has started behaving as if he is great. he is ignoring him for no reason. he just wants to be with those 'new' group of people who are similar to his innate character- laughing at others., thinking he is great, those who consider they r cool and others are not.

i think the trouble started when i started calling those who waste time and not study are fools. we r in medical school and i beleive my friend dies not have the attitude to be a doctor. but the problem is, i am unable to cope with his new behavior as we were friends for almost 6 years and then this happened...

your suggestions are valuable for me to cope with this new situation where i am always thinking about that and unable to do anything else at all!

i hope you can help.... :-)

I'm going to be 21 next month and still haven't told my mom that i'm gay yet. We have an ok relationship,we are simialar in many ways which cause us to bump heads alot. I've had bf's over with her there but never did anything with them more than kissing. But i felt wrong for doing it. She asked me plenty of times if im gay and i always deny it, but im sorta ready to tell her. So how do i come out to her without her feeling shamed, or feel as if she failed as a parent?

I for one will admit my eyesight is not what it was when I passed my Driving Test. And I know of some old boys who cannot stop a car with a footbreak, but use a handbreak! On Sundays you see the flat cap bregaide out in their cars - barely able to see over the top of the steering wheels, and driving like they walk, SLOOOW!!!
Dangerous! Do you not think it ought to be manditory to have tests after 6O, say every 5 years??? May be one way to clear the roads a bit, and make them safer???

Ok i remember myself being a 'L' Driver 4 years back and hating it when people behind me got increasingly frustrated with my adhering to the speed limit and soft speeds around corners. Now 4 years later - with 4 years of no claims i find myself very annoyed by them and tend to overtake them at the first available opportunity, however, i find OAPs the worst types! 25mph in a 30 road, 30mph on a 40mph road, i even bib the horn and jesture them to move out of the way, yet feel a bit guilty afterwards!
Anybody do the same?

just curious to see what experiences people have had in their lifetime. as a kid, i remember someone hacking into my computer account at school (we were learning keyboarding) and typing "you dot head, go back to where you came from...you look like a monkey". i'm a hindu and trust me, don't have the semblance of a monkey ;). it was a traumatic experience for me as a little girl though.

Why do Arsenal have a large percentage of Black Players and a very low percentage of Black supporters.

Don't they want to put money back into the sport or even support their own kind.

Monkey chants etc is no excuse for not going. I think they feel they are performers only. if they can't perform then they will do nothing?

What do you think?
