In my opinion...racism today is not any better than 10 years ago, will we ever "just get along" ? all the racism questions on here seem to receive the same kind of answers. should we just shut up about it?

I've noticed that even simple quote and quote is already tagged as racist. Everything is suspected as being racist. Gosh!

The NAACP says he's being treated unfairly. WAH! I don't care who he is, or how good he plays sports, he's a monster who has no regard for innocent animals and condones the torture of animals for financial gain. As much money he has made in football, there's no excuse for what he did!

I chose not to have children, so I had a vasectomy very young. Myself and others that have done the same, are frequently verbally attacked by our Catholic dominated co-workers. Sometimes we are called gay (usually by Hispanic men).

Calling us gay not only attacks those of us whom are “Childfree”, but they have also attacked the gay community. So they are attacking two, unconnected groups. It must be an insult to a gay person to have the term used to describe a straight person in a negative way.

A few gays have chosen to make negative comments to us “Childfree”. They say things, “Well, I can’t have children, would would you straight people give up the biological right?”. It seems that the “Childfree” just can’t win.

The only people that agree with us are those whom regret having kids. They are the ones that will, when not in public, say, “You made the right choice”. The same people will never support us openly in public.

As a black man, I notice white men in their 40 and up speaks to me like I'm an idiot. When I open my mouth, I let him have it. "Your barking up the wrong tree, buddy. I know more than you think I do". After an nice knowledgable conversation, I noticed that white people are extremely intrested in the mental process of urban african americans. I enjoyed my white counterparts, we are so much alike, its sickening. Thank you Emancipation Proclamation, Dr. King, The Bible, and others that let me know I am not what people make me out to be.

What your story?

Real Talk, no racism here. If you are not into the Bible or GOD, express your view but do not attack.

It seems like the white kids today are all trying to act ghetto, black and fabulous. They listen to music about gangs, drugs, and sex that has nothing to do with the pristine life they enjoy. On the other hand, wealthy, suburban black kids don't act like that. They have good grades in school, are helpful in the community, and don't try to emulate the Ghetto lifestyle. Why is there this cultural divide in suburban teenage America?

The first time it took me 23 years to find my best friend from school. Once she explained what caused the separation, we picked up where we left off. She's the initial reason I moved to Wisconsin.

Just recently I located an address for another woman, about 20 years younger than me. I used to work with her and we were very close. I found her in Maryland and she apparently got my letter and left her number on my cell phone last night.

I've found a few other people for cousins, too. It's fun reconnecting. How about you?

It is my Grandmother's favorite, she is 91. It mostly has photographs from the past from different decades and comments from readers reminiscing. It also has articles about a variety of things from the past, things people grew up with, how life was lived in a different time. My Grandma will point something out in the magazine and elaborate for me. This magazine gives her much joy, it is her favorite and she takes many magazines. I like it a lot myself and often take an old issue home with me from my Grandma's house.

It just seems to me to be impossible anyone male or femal, gay or straight, could not appreciate and be turned on by a beautiful woman with a hot natural body??

Can a gay man be turned on by a beautiful woman? I mean it doesn't seem possible that even the gayest man on the planet would not be turned on by a woman like Beyonce. I don't think that she would convert you, but do you think you could get it up? I mean would that be gross to you? I am trying to figure out if this gay thing is totally for real and without question. If the chic was hot enough, could you be turned on and want to sleep with her? I am not talking to the bisexual. I am talking totally gay men. Is it possible.

Frankly I don't see men as being hot. I can tell when somebody is better looking than me. I can spot my competition, but I never look at a man and think I want to touch. Is this how truly gay men feel about beautiful women? I mean even chics are turned on by another very hot looking woman
