Cultures & Groups - 4 September 2007

I used to live & work in foreign climes, and picked up the local
language, customs, etc. As one should.
My mum says "your dentist is a black man", or "is your optician foreign".
It is silly, and I have said so,
Where does this race thing come from ?
It is beyond me.

No use crying over spilled milk. They turned out just fine in spite of having me for a mother.

Im a African Amercan young lady who is 23 and I looove my heritage and my roots, I love being black, both physically as well as mentally. When I ask am I too black, i mean in a mental sense. Every book I read is by a black author, almost everything I do I somehow find a way to make it refelct my blackness, I love wearing my hair natural and curly...when someone ask me why my hair is in a big afro, I proudly say "because im black!" im not ashamed of my brown skin or my thick, curly hair..its like the world loves the black trends and the glitz and glam and the whole hip-hop culture, basically they want to live "black" but when it really comes down to it, they reject their blackness on a mental note. Such as making rude and stereo typical comments amongst their own black community; not dating in their own race and so fourth. My point is that, my whole world revolves around my mental awareness on the fact that im black and proud. Am I too engulfed in my blackness?

They need to understand that don't be so scare or fear that asking black women out. There some white men are fear of rejection but maybe it's the black women are scare of rejection from y'all but know I am scare of rejection from a white man bc I'm not White or Asian.

Just a thought as someone with a family spends a lot more at the supermarket than somone who is disabled, most blue badge holders are old people who spend less than their Family counter-parts.
As I find that you always find at least one disabled badge holder in the parent and child spaces, resulting families parking on the other side of the car park

Whenever I see someone on tv who is making a mean, nasty, or degrading comment about a caucasian person, to me what they are really saying is "I don't like white people". Why do we in society find this so acceptable. Do people think that caucasians don't have feelings?? Why is okay to punish people for something that happened years before they were born. Why is this topic never discussed in public forums?? Everyone deserves to be treated with the same kindness as the next person, no matter what color they are!

I live in philadelphia PA and lately on the news they have been doing a report on a school that has been showing third graders a video about same sex parents and children. Now I don't have a problem with homosexuals or couples of same sex relationships having kids. However I am a little upset that if you were a teacher in the school showing this film that the school would deem it acceptible but if you were that same teacher and you said the Lord's prayer in school you would most likely be severely reprimanded. I want to know why is it more acceptible to accept a persons life styles than it is to accept persons religion.

I would have to say Ms. McCoola, one of my high school business teachers. She was a real lady, dressed and acted like one, taught us integrity in the workplace, how to value ourselves, etc. She insisted we do the best we could do and she was always available if we wanted to talk. How about you?

When the racists are the ones MAKING it hard for us? Why do you say we are not accepted when RACISTS are the ones trying to do that?

So, I have to ask this question because I am not sure if i am or not.

In bed, I like to do things. Everything. I am not into leather or anything like that - but, I love things where i use my mouth - if you know what I mean? I like to do everything including toes and feet, and explore everywhere with my tongue and mouth -everywhere. I also like it rough but loving.

Am I bad - in the dirty context?

And, why do I like to do everything with my mouth?

What is it that seems to attract you to this way of life? What do you think when you look at another woman? What do you feel? Again, this question is for people considering becoming lesbian; not for those already living the life and out of the closet.

Watched "The Sands of Iwo Jima" over the weekend. To any of our seniors, especially the males - were you there? Do you have a story from the war that you'd like to share?

I've never been in that position, but of course I would if it would save a life. If somehow I lost my life, well I know where I'd be going so that would be fine.

My friend gave her youngest brother a kidney several years ago. It saved his life, but he never changed his lifestyle -still drinks too much - and she's become very bitter over it. I just can't get her past that. I've even reminded her that God tells us we're to forgive, and her response is that she knows she has to forgive, but God didn't say when we had to forgive. Sigh. She can be a challenge, but I love her.

So, would you give up a body part for someone with no strings attached?

I know that Jews are not supposed to eat milk and meat together [or within some time] but how did they manage with cheese before the advent of vegetarian rennet?

Previously cheese would have contained an animal product.

So..I'm still not used to this waking up with someone next to me thing. My g/f who is visiting for a week, woke me up this morning to tell me to get up for class. Snooze went off 3 times (as I always program it to, which is why I set my alarm like 30 minutes early) This way even if I hit the alarm 3 times, I'm still waking up at the time I'm supposed to (it's a psychological thing I think to get myself mentally prepared)
Anyway, she keeps nudging me after the 2nd snooze and I semi-coherently say something along the lines of "yeah..l know what I'm doing". So the third time I'm annoyed and say "yeah..I KNOW what I'm doing..damn, leave me alone"
She got mad at me :(

So any of you guys wake up grouchy too?

Why dont other white people or black people correct each other when they spew hate against another fellow human being.

Racisim wont stop unless we all work together. It wont stop unless both races try to stop the stereotypes we each perpetuate.
