Is it true that sometimes a white person will be treated rudely by a black cashier at a fast food restaurant and not complain about it because they feel that blacks have a right to be that way? Is it true that sometimes, if a black co-worker raises his voice to a white person, the white person will let it go since he believes that black people have a right to be angry? Is it true that there have been times when black people have threatened white people with violence and the white person did not report the incident since he thought that black people have been treated so unfairly in the past that they should be given some leeway? What is the name of this phenomenon, if it exists? Is there a related phenomenon called "white guilt"? Is it true that some white people feel guilty for past wrongs committed against blacks? Do they fear that black people might ge angry and give them leeway as a result?

I've always had a high sex drive, and have been extremely heterosexual. Then it seems within the last couple months,my sex drive for girls has lowered, and I've been questioning if I like men too. Before then, I started having erection problems, much tied to anxiety and self conciousness during sexual play with the female specimen. :) I don't want to be gay, I love girls! but with my sexuality in question, I feel like i can't commit to my girlfriend enough to be sexually confident, and honest and such. So should I experient? How far should I go? Is this a common/natural feeling?

whose been gay or lesbian and then all of a sudden just stopped being attracted to the same sex for no other reason then you lost the attraction

no outside influences at all like peer pressure family persuasions or religion just plain non attraction all of a sudden and changed your mind



-just had a thought ...these people probably wouldnt even be in this section so maybe i picked the wrong spot for this question-

I recently found out that by 2100, and maybe as early as 2073 according to more recent figures, white Britons will become a minority in their own homeland. Upon further research, I discovered that this is not only restricted to Britain but is something which all white nations will be facing in the coming century. White Americans, for example, will constitute 50% of the total US population by 2040 and only 25% by 2090!

In view of this, can multiculturalism be morally justified? Shouldn't all races/nationalities have a right to a homeland? I am puzzled as to why is this a problem which only white nations and all white nations are facing? I would appreciate any explanations, but if you are going to cry racism, please refrain from posting.

Thank you.

If you use negative stereotypes against Blacks/Hispanics/East Asians/South Asians/Arabs/Native Americans/Eskimos/Pacific Islanders & Somoans you would be called a racist.Yet it's ok for everyone to make fun of people of rich & noble European heritage(white people).I just do not think it's right.People of White-European descent are only about 15% of the world's population. globalpolitician.com/articledes.asp?ID=2564&cid=1&sid=104

Word for word this is what some 20 year old wrote to me on youtube: "Some Kind of Fool. I don't understand you. It takes some kind of idiot not to notice the blatant stereotyping of african americans. Shame on you and don't bother responding. I just wanted to let you know you are a dolt, imbicile, immature, stupid, ignorant, witch."

I've never made a racist remark nor have I seen this guy before. What in the world is this?

i'm sure people down south won't be too happy. Since we are so brainwashed to white supremecy I don't think even the minorities are ready. Even my mexican and black friends don't like Obama. They don't trust him to run the country. Might be because he is black, but possibly mainly because he was raised a muslim.

If your family tree kept going on and on and on it would eventually include everyone in the world in it. does that mean were all related to each other. and if so, how can someone be a full blooded italian if somewhere down the line they are related to a hispanic or an albanian?

My wife and I think it's very important. We are now friends with a former teacher of hers and her wife. I made a few baby boomer lesbian and bisexual acquaintances back home in Orlando. And we got to know a female couple in their seventies after we saw them helping each other out of a bus--if you think that's to die for sweet in a mixed-sex couple, it's sublime for two women.

We're apparently the older role models for a teenage couple we know, too. (We're in our early thirties.)

So, do you have older role models? What are they like? Is this important to you?

i dont i consider myself like many argentines dont consider themselfs hispanic i think its because our background is italian and spanish and we dont look hispanic like some other people do look for example mexicans, bolivians,and perubians, ect. but sometimes i think people get offended when us argentines say we're not latin but its the truth because if you see the majority of the argentine population it is european as in meaning the people look whiter and blonder than most latin american countries do and not to mention how the country looks and our culture

do you agree with me or not anyways this is not something i want to just state it's just for me to know what people think. and i also wanted to say i have a lot of mexican and bolivian friends who agree with me.

My friend Michael just came out to his parents. His mom was fine with but was little disappointed that Michael probably won't give her any grandchildren. However, Michael's dad flipped. Which kind of shock Michael since he's mom had been the type of parent who was open about her sexuality around their teenaged children. Because Mr. Kowalski (Michael's dad) was married to her, Michael thought he wouldn't completely freak out. He seems to hate him now. Michael says that the only thing that is keeping his dad from kicking him out is his mom.

I'm 37 years old, not a senior citizen yet, but it disturbs me to see the trend of the younger generations disrespecting their elders the way they do. My own son does it once in a while, he got on here not too long ago and posted a nasty question to the seniors group. I went through later and apologized to everyone who answered (of those who allowed email). All of my grandparents died before I was born, except for my paternal grandmother, and she was an alcoholic.Anyway, I wish I had had grandparents to sit at their feet and listen to their stories about the "good ole days" and share their wisdom with me. So many young people take our elderly for granted, not realizing that if they'd just open their minds we could learn a lot from each other. Do you know in China the elderly in society are held in high respect and honored and cherished? Nursing homes are unheard of there because families take care of their own. If only we were more like the Chinese.
