...is usually applied to white people. Can you use it to refer to African Americans and Latinos against white people?

generally speaking of course.

White people created the double standard and spread it around the globe. In this country there were officially two standards for 191 years of the country's 231 years history.

So why do they complain of double standards now?

I believe that the best way to fight homophobia is by proving to everyone in your life that being gay is healthy, vital, inspiring, diverse, and harmless.
Any thoughts?

I mean the things you buy when you go shopping that you think are a good idea, but when you get them home you don't use them very often.
A wallpaper steamer ( not ready to decorate yet)
Coffee Perculator( so much easier to take the lid of a jar)
Sandwich toaster(just as well use the grill)
Pedometer( to see just how far I walk in circles each day but still haven't bought a battery for it)
Luxury bubble bath creme( don't like the smell)

The list goes on......... what can you add to the list?

btw. Until I put senior citizens in the main question it wouldn't post again. Is this why the page is so empty I wonder?

I have a uncle that takes care of me, and do things for me, but yet he treats me different from my other male cusins, like I'm lessor than what a "real" man supposed to be like. My granny always question me why I neer go out, and stuff with my other cusins, that I need to start being like a normal teenage boys are. I like staying to myself, and I dont like hanging out with my male cusin, because all they talk about is girls and stuff, and they can go find them like 4 girls a piece, but I cant find me no boy, because I'm closeted bisexual. I just dont feel right being sround a group of str8 guys that has no taste for gay/ bi guys, and is all about girls and stuff. I dont like it when a guy brag about him and his chick. I think girls should not be done that way. No offense str8 guys, but I think some str8 guys are all about sex and stuff, and not just seeing the beauty and stuff in a woman like I see

What I ve noticed at school is that all the str8 boys in school hate the gay queen types of gay boys, but yet hang arouund the jock, bisexual, macho gay boys. Ok what I'm trying to ask is it homosexual people hate itself, or the individuals personality, and is bisexual guys (masculine) more accepted by society, than gay guys (fiminin)...or dont get me wrong gay guys can be masculine also, but just straight acting

I will proofread it later. I am just interested in honest criticism on the content of this essay (not the grammar)!

Topic: "The most dicriminated Race in America" (FYI: I know mainstream scientists find the deffinition for the word
-race- a controversy)
Racism and discrimination go hand in hand in America. People who are victims of racism fall into the category of people who have been prejudged based on their appearance in relation to an entire ethnic group; this is what is known as discrimination, or prejudice. It is a fact that about every ethnic group has had a time in American History in which it was discriminated upon based on people's skin color, native language, and/or shape of eyes. For example, Asians were discriminated upon for years right after the attacks on Pearl Harbor, Muslims were ( are) equally discriminated because of the terrorists attacks on the twin towers, Hispanics are discriminated because of immigration issues and Blacks were (and still are) discriminated upon because of skin color. Dating from the early 15th century until today, it is evident that discrimination against people based on their skin color continues, especially in African American communities.

People of color have gone through years oppression and humiliation in the hands of the White man. Hopeful activists of the 1950's and 60's aided an entire ethnicity in it's liberation from the chains of slavery. Now in days it is illegal to cast racist remarks against any race, but the fact of the matter is that African Americans are still being outcast from society ( especially in the South of the United States). Now in days, one can still witness how stereotypes of the past can be brought to light in an instant. People of color are feared in certain communities, and so the person that believes the stereotypes attached to a particular race, in this case the African Americans, behaves with certain caution when approaching a member of that race. People of color notice right away the differential treatment between races and so united they stand in order to combat generalizations and stigma's attached to their character from the past. People of color have formed organizations like the NAACP, which brings to light all the illegal racist treatment by police, civilians and entire communities. This organization takes care of protecting the rights of African Americans, and/or people of color in general in order to make sure that everyone is treated fairly in the work force and in the streets.

Although we are now in the 21st century, African Americans feel that institutional habits prevent them from attaining the jobs and homes they seek. Thankfully reparations towards a better future for people of color are still being made and affirmative action is being upheld in the court systems. Both affirmative action and group activists contribute a good deal of pressure to the government in order to keep checks and balances on African American minorities throughout the Unite States. All of this protection for people of color is vitally necessary because their are still racist sentiments in the hearts of some American people. African Americans are still being passed up for jobs because of their skin color, this is mainly evident in predominantly white communities. African Americans are also being discriminated upon for "taking advantage" of the welfare system, which is an entitlement to lower class communities that cannot afford the high cost of living in the U.S. People of color are still victims of negative prejudicial stereotypes in school as well as in the workforce. THeir are White communities that believe affirmative action took away their place in a job they could not get. There are AMericans who blame people of color for taking a job position that could have otherwise been theirs, if it had not been for "the quota system" jobs have to meet. This is evidence of racist thinking because their are numerous reason why a person of color was hired for a position that had applicants of other races. People of color do not only face discrimination in the workforce they also experience hate crimes, brutal treatment by police officers and discrimination in the streets.

Even though it is illegal for police officers to brutally treat their arrestees, their are still countless cases of police brutally against people of color. Most of the time these cases have been caught on camera and so the whole world is able to see how police officers violate their authority and integrity by attacking an innocent person just because they felt threatened by that person's skin color. African AMericans also face discrimination in the streets. People of other races are weary when they see a group young black men approaching them. Young AFrican American males feel the most discriminated agaisnt in society not inly because of their age group, but also because of their skin color. Young African American females seem to feel the most discriminated agaisnt because they are women and are black. According to a national study on issues of politics, government, sex and marriage, researchers at the University of Chicago's Young Black Youth Project,, 54% percent of blacks receive poorer education on average than whites; 40% of hIspanics and 31% of whites agree. Clearly the school systems and government are failing in reforming the discrimination in schools at an educational and social level. In order for advancement in today's society, one requires a god education and fair treatment of peers and professors alike. How can an entire race progress intellectually if their education is being thwarted away by discrimination? A reform in today's school boards would be vitally necessary in order for blacks to have fair academic advancement and oppurtunites in life.

Discrimination against another race is not justified by one's fear of the unknown. People have to realize that the old saying of "stick and stones" is false and misleading, words can deeply cut and penetrate one's goal's and ambitions. African Americans in particular stand united against a stained history in which America's ethics were diminished to a minute grain of sand. Blacks have certainly improved their social, economical and political way of living since the civil rights movements of the 1950's and 60's, but life expectancy, school success and crime rates are much lower among many African American communities than white communities. Organizations like the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People aid African American communities gain access to equal opportunities in school, in the work force and in life. There is still much left to be done in order for black to gain equal status as a race.

I do not understand. So many questions and answers here deal with the issue of whether or not homosexuality or bisexuality is wrong or right, whether it is a sin or not, whether or not it is a choice or we are born with it. Fact: whatever the answer to any of these questions, it does not effect you, does it? If it is gnawing at your gut and cluttering your thought so much, maybe you are afraid that you are gay youreslf and trying to fight it. Sorry, but it's the only explanation that makes sense to me. Give me yours...

Well lately I have been wandering why my brother has been hanging around with his friend TOO much! They see eachother at school then his friend (Curtis) will come here or my brother would go there. They would go up to the bedroom and while I am on the computer I would hear thumping noises. Is he gay? Or just too friendly?

Liberals seem to be all for free speech except when it isn't what they want to hear. For the record, I am neither conservative or liberal. I am a pragmatist. I have conservative and liberal views depending on the issue being discussed.
