Sometimes someone will make a joke about my race and I get angry. How do black people deal with the ignorance and racism and not get offended?

I ask this question, because i still fee that whites have this superiority complex thing still going on. Do you honestly feel that you are better than other races particularly minorites and blacks. Do you feel that there is a sense of entitlement for just being white. Do you think that other races treat you different because you are white?
I really want honest, intellectual answers...please

okay, imagine someone gets pregnant and does not want to abort, the child is pretty positively going to be disabled in SOME (deformed? downs syndrome?) way, and they are going to put it up for adoption due to not being able to take care of it (lack of money? being way too young? raped?)

how many disabled babies really get adopted?

anyone care to put their opinion (keeping this example in mind,)?

I'm trying to get a poll because that to me is weird, I would be a little irritated, and got away from him. This also is not during Marti Gras, or anything where others are flashing, just walking down the street or ya know where ever.

I'm from South Texas, and I typically get annoyed at the terrible "texan" accents that people use. I think it's just awful when people listen to George Bush and think that's the way we talk, or like Eastern Southern States. I know there are some people in Western/Northern Texas that draw out their words and say y'all a lot, but not everyone in Texas is like that.

So what do you think of a Southern Texas accent, if you've heard one?

White people are a damn trip. They will quote bible versues and tell you to accept people for who they are, or they want you to believe that "they" are not the one's responsible for the hatered of what their ancesotrs did, but even still today they are playing with fire with some of their idiotic pranks.
Dont white people know that they have to pay for what their ancesotors, just like everyone else. Even today blacks are still psycologically and econmically facing the same challenges of their ancestors. White people have to understand that the legacies and financial prosperity that was acquired by their forefather; they are reaping the benefits today and this legacy has given them a head start over blacks. Black have made strides in education, but what if we had the old money that was left from slavery and handed down throught generation, i know for sure that we would not have any complaints and we would probably be singing the same song as you white people.

I have experienced prejudice and discrimination all my life in the good ole U S of of A. I'll give you some examples. Today, I was standing in line in the deli and there was an asian lady in front of me, I was standing behind her with my cart against the produce waiting for my turn. By the way, I'm asian too. Anyway, this caucasion guy cuts in front of me and asks for some kind of meat, being oblivious that he should have ask me if I was in line. And when he was waiting for his meat, after the asian lady left, it was my turn. He said "Oh I'm sorry, I thought you were with her." I said "You assumed that I was with her because I'm also asian." Then he goes "I didn't say anything about you being asian." I was nodding my head "No".I'm thinking in my head that actions speak louder than words.
The other time I was at the library with my son checking out some books waiting in line. This caucasion lady asks if the kid (who was dark skinned) in front of me was my kid (I'm kinda tan too).

I seem to be an animal and child magnet. They flock to me. Today I met a 13 year old chiuaua mix who doesn't like anyone who couldn't get enough of me. He climbed all over me. Kissing me all over the place. Saturday I met a newborn calf who was a newborn and lethargic. In five minutes I got it up and nursinging in five minutes. Later that day I had two monarch butterflys clinging to my tee shirt for more than an hour. I save bees and wasps from puddles and have never bern stung. Kids flock to me. Even when I don't want it. What do you call that? Parents tell me I have a gift I just don't know exactly what it is.
