I was wondering if any Russian girls like Black guys or vice versa. Any experiences you can share, good bad and ugly. How was it? Did you go on to better things?

Same for any black guys that like russian girls. please share.

***And for you constant war mongers, this is NOT a racist post or anything in that vein. Im asking a REAL cultural question, anyone who crosses that line will deem themselves an instant idiot, as you now know that my intentions are innocent and PEACEFUL.***

Thank you in advance to those who answer.

I am going to be a missionary and spread the gospel around the world and help people along the way. My ultimate prayer is for every person in this world to fall in love with Jesus and go to heaven. This is my life's mission. I love Jesus, I am thankful for His death for our sins so that we may be saved, and I agree with all of His teachings.
Since I've become a believer, I have NEVER felt so much hatred in all of my life. Jesus said this would happen, so it just confirms the truth. But I want to know why non-believers have such a problem with True believers? (and I'm not talking about people who are judgmental and hateful and call themselves Christians)
All signs point to Satan. What do you think?
(PS: I'm sure this will offend people... I just don't understand why)

What about 'black' people? Or is 'black' the proper name? If so would that mean that 'Asians', 'Latin', and 'Caucasians' should be called yellow, red, and white people respectably? Whats up with white people having their own special word (Caucasian) but no other races having any (unless I am woefully ignorant of such). Why don't some Filipino's consider themselves 'Asians'?

Maybe it is impossible to categorize people? Maybe everything's not black and white (No pun attended)!

Please, they don't teach us this stuff in school (lol)! Thanks.

"They're standing on the corner
and they can't speak English.
I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.

And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English
except these knuckleheads.

You can't be a doctor
with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

In fact you will never get any kind of job
making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks
to get an education,
and now we've got these
knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people
are not holding up their end in this deal.

These people are not parenting.
They are buying things for kids.
$500 sneakers for what ? ?

And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

I am talking about these people who cry
when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was 2 ? ?

Where were you when he was 12 ? ?

Where were you when he was 18,
and how come you didn't know
that he had a pistol ? ?

And where is the father ? ?
Or who is his father ? ?

People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward,
pants down around the crack,
isn't that a sign of something ? ?

Or are you waiting for Jesus
to pull your pants up?

Isn't it a sign of something
when she has her dress all the way up
and got all type of needles [piercing]
going through her body?

What part of Africa did this come from??

We are not Africans.
Those people are not Africans;
they don't know a thing about Africa.

With names like Shaniqua,
Taliqua and Mohammed
and all of that crap,
and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education
is no longer the white person's problem.

We have got to take the neighborhood back.

People used to be ashamed.
Today a woman has eight children
with eight different 'husbands' --
or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players
who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players
who can't write two paragraphs.

We, as black folks, have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids,
you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other
to a higher standard..
We cannot blame the white people
any longer."

A white female or a black man for President?

Me: I think the republicans will rather see a black man in office before a woman regardless of race.

What do you think?

One of my best friends is about to turn eighteen, and we met when she was thirteen and I was twelve. Her and I were very close back then, I thought I was "in love" with her, which I doubt I ever was, but it was more of experimenting. Now, I know for a fact I am now bisexual and her and I have been friends all this time.

She insists that I'm, "So straight," and when I tell her that I don't date girls much because it's complicated with me being half-way in the closet she says, "What was the gender of the last five people you've made out with?" Like that makes her better. I don't care what people think, I do like women a lot, but I date more men because it's less complicated.

It only bothers me that SHE thinks it. How do I get her to start treating me like someone her own age besides that girl she met back in middle school?

"For the first two hundred years of American history, wealthy white employers and white churches constantly reinforced the poor whites' ideas about their superiority over blacks due to the color of their skin. Desperately desiring some power in society, poor whites gladly claimed this role, despite the obvious flaws in this argument. In Origins of the New South, C. Vann Woodward writes, "it took a lot of ritual and Jim Crow to bolster the creed of white supremacy in the bosom of a white man working for a black man's wages" (p.211) Poor whites and blacks share similar religious doctrines, family ties and community loyalty; yet have remained separated by racial animosity."

I just moved to this University in a new town, and I don't know anyone. I've been trying to make friends and all that, but I'm just not a very social kind of person.
So, I've tried one of these dating phone chat line things. I get to talking with some girls, and even guys, because I just want a FRIEND, and over time, the conversation turns to sexual matters. Now, I believe in honesty first and foremost, and especially if I'm going to set myself up on a blind date, I want to let the person know that I am a transsexual (I still sound kinda like a girl though over the phone, so people get the WROOONG impression) And, when I say that to people, even before they've seen or met me, they then don't want to, and I get blown off, and rejected...even though 5 minutes earlier, we were having a great conversation and they were DYING to meet me. *sighs* I just can't understand why things like having or NOT having a penis is such a big freakin' deal anyway.

Given the number of defective products and tainted foods that are being maufactured and processed in China and that are making their way into the U. S., don't you think it'd be wise for U. S. consumers to stay away from Chinese goods for awhile? Atleast until they prove they can make and produce goods worthy of our use and consumption? I say we boycott all Chinese goods and products immediately and without delay! Certainly, there must be others we could patronize temporarily, if not permanently. This is what happens when you grow too fast as China has done. Besides, they need to be put back in their box. They've gotten a little too big for their britches and it's time somebody let them know about it...! Anybody with me on this...?

How the hell does it make sense that people are geneticaly made to be homosexual. Homosexuals become homosexual because they choose to.
If being a homosexual were genetic then that would when homosexuals that have kids would have there kids become likely . I mean you see people turning gay, back to straight then sometimes bi sexual so how the hell is it genetics. If it were genetic. If you want to be gay that's ok , i don't hate gay people , i just hate it when people blame genetics as the cause. It's not genetics people just choose it, learn to accept that it's a life stlye and sexuality. Its a peference they choose.
Thats like murderers are murderers because of genetics. Or that pedofiles are like that because of genetics. It makes no freaking sense! People just choose to do what they do. Wether it is right or wrong is a another issue but i don't think gay people are bad, bad people bad. Theres all type of bad people. But come on and stop making an excuses for homosexualit

with the mentality of the "older" members of the gay community and the "younger" members (not the youth). Without divulging my age (I'm 25 for life LOL) it seems like the older members (I hate that word, it sounds like we have a secret club LOL) are more grounded with their views, but with less opportunity to present them, whereas the younger ones have the opportunity, but may not be as grounded.

Thoughts?

I gave my son too much power. The way I was raised, mom and dad made all the decisions. I am an only child. I was not prepared for real life. I was so sheltered that when I finally had the chance to think for myself, I went wild!

I didn't want my son to be like me so I let him make too many decisions... like what to wear, where he wanted to go, etc. He was my best friend and I was his. Then he joined the navy and grew up while I wasn't around.

He is very independent, intolerate, impatient, and a tab inconsiderate of other people because I raised him to put himself first. He grew up to be a chemistry teacher, with a beautiful wife and two precious kids.

When I divorced his father, I didn't want to fight, so I left him everything including my son.

If I had it to do all over again I would have kicked out his father and kept the house and him.

How do white people feel when they get called the 'C' word? It usually gets confused with the snack, and it rhymes with tracker.

Just want honest opinions.
