Other - Cultures & Groups - July 2006

I have a B.A. from a prestegious college and am currently temping as I figure out my next career move. The job is very low level - admin work at a doctor's office - and the people that I work with aren't the most educated or brightest people around. I keep my accomplishments and education level to myself as I don't feel the need to impress or belittle anyone but one 25 year old woman really irritates me. She is very simpleminded and thinks she is much smarter than she is. Due to the nature of the job, I tend to show up a few minutes late at times and she always has to mention it to me, albeit in a joking way. I try to just laugh or ignore her and but she keeps persisting. I really want to put her in her place but I know that I wouldn't feel good about doing that after I leave the job. Any advice?

I have noticed that many americans have talked wrongly, discriminated and made jokes about the jews even before these times of war

What is the reason? Maybe you have a reason now because the war but before all this I have heard many offenses toward them and I am curious to know the reasons even if I am very far from being a jew.

Why dont they have a problem with black or mexican pride but they have a problem with white pride? Is it because of what the Jew media tells them?

they allowed to have any such freedom of speech? How can our society allow such a thing? There is one thing to have your own beliefs, we're founded on that...blah blah blah...
but when you come up with pedophiles that think they are justified in raping young boys....that have freedom to have a group funded for the cause of such things....?!?!?!? How sick is this world, and why is it being allowed? WHY!!!!!!!!!?????????

There are many names (Charles Soludo, Tony Egbo, Barrister whatever-by-the-dozens) with so much money (yeah, right) to share with wonderful, trustworthy people like us, that we must all be millionaires by now. Many variations exist. I just wonder if any of you have ever sent them any amount of money? I'd love to correspond with anyone who has any exprience or opinions with scams of any kind. I have been having fun with them for some time now, wasting their time.

These scammers are almost a subculture. Admittedly it is a disreputable one, but they display amazing ranges of apparent intelligence or lack thereof.

By "we" I mean males. I mean, come on! Sure, there was male dominance in the past, but that is because of the BAD males that took control. Most of us aren't like that. But then you see websites, literature, articles of clothing, and many other forms of statements that imply that we are ALL bad and that we ALL deserve to die horrible deaths. I mean, have you seen the "101 reasons why men suck?" Most of the reasons were used many times in the same web page, even more of them were taken almost directly from television sitcoms (the only way they could get closer tox those is by quoting them), most of them stated that they apply to all of us all the time, many of them were irrelevent and weren't our faults anyway, most of what they said wasn't true at all with a lot of males, most of them were things that apply to females as much as, if not more than, males, one had faulty logic (if we're all homophobes, how are there gays?), one of them was a GOOD thing (no PMS), etc. WHY?!?

To those who have been in prison (not local jail, but "hard time") what is it like? Is it as violent and scary as the TV shows and movies will have you believe? Do they MAKE you work long hours for $0.10 an hour? What the worst part about it and what's the greatest misconception? Answer one, more or all, thanks!

For example, if you name your girl Lakeisha and she submits a resume to somebody who is in a position to hire her and that person chooses to call a girl named "Jill". Now Jill might also be a black woman but Lakeisha lost out on an opportunity because of this racist person.

Sure it was wrong what that person did, but my point is a black child is going to have enough difficulties getting along in a society that has some serious race issues...why make it more difficult by attaching a name to that child that makes it that much more difficult for them?

people say that brasilian women or spanish women or so-and-so women are more beautiful than others but are they just looking at the supermodels and the women in the media?

i think if these people actually went to the countries, they would realize that there are more average women than the so-called beauty queens....and besides, cant you find beautiful women in every country??? its not like specific countries produce more beautiful women that others....

I know some people will call me a racist and say stuff like "how does a black person act" but you know exactly what I'm talking about.

I'm trying to open my mind but how do I get past the wanna-be-hip-hop-gangsta-rap-star

I'm trying to relate and not hate.

Throughout history, continuing to present day, darker skin color is associated with lower social status. The darker your skin, the less money you are likely to make statistically.

So why is it that pale white people go to tanning salons and pay money to have their skin artificially darkened?

The cliche goes "Just be happy with yourself, and that's what's important; your inner beauty naturally shines" as if pull-string Barbie herself said it with her perfect plastic face.

The truth is that inner beauty is very often compleately/partially ignored if the girl is not attractive on the outside.

They are treated differently even if they "Do everything right".

And this is DISCRIMINATION. Why can't our society acknowlege this hypocracy?

And how do you relate to something that doesn't respect you, that discriminates against you?...Hate??...I feel so bad for this group of girls. The evil that the African Americans championed against was not eradicated-and never will be. The evil simply found other expressions, other victims. It is the responsibility of us all to acknowlege the discrimination that we all practice (me too sometimes).

And too you Fat/Ugly girls out there if there're any reading this...I would give you a great big hug if I could.

God bless you.
