I have seen numerous questions on this site asked by white people that ask why are black people always quick to claim racism, and why do we always have to bring it up. Did it occur to you that MAYBE, just MAYBE racism DOES STILL EXIST?and maybe you dont experience it because you're white? Just because something hasn't happened to you or you didnt perceive it that way doesnt mean that it doesn't happen. Thats like saying just because you haven't been robbed, you don't believe that there are theives in the world. That makes NO SENSE! Yes, some people are overly sensitive and do interpret situations wrong, but racism does still happen. And sometimes you can only understand that if you have grown up in a minority group that has been and continues to be discrimin8d against. Now racism isn't open and blatant like it used to be, and I dont believe that it happens very often, but it does happen and you have to be able to admit that there are things that u dont understand becuz u havnt lived it

I'm interested to know the history and information on this (that you are considered Jewish if your mom is even if your dad isn't, where as, if your dad's Jewish and mom isn't you aren't considered Jewish). Also, is this an official opinion in the Jewish community or just for some ? If your dad is the only Jewish parent are you considered Jewish too ( aka Ben Stiller, etc.)? Thanks!

The local court sentenced me to Alcoholics Anonymous. Now, I must find a Higher Power to take away uncontrolable desires to drink. Because I told a county alcohol counselor that I wanted to attempt sobriety on my own and she said, "self-will will get you no-where but back into the bottle", and sent me back to court and the judge gave me 10 days in jail for non-compliance. I am confused. Do I dismiss the idea of using my brain to solve this problem, or should I rely on spirits to save me from the booze? I feel like I am being coerced to join a religion (Christianity). I know nothing about that sect. Can I join the Wiccas instead?

With all the talk of Bush etc... wanting to rid the world of terrorists, why not start in his own backyard?
...and come on, this has nothing to do with freedom of speech.

East Indians come with practically nothing from India. So of course they are always going to look for the best deal and tend to be a bit on the thrifty side. East Indians are still one of the wealthiest minorities in the United States. So what's the problem?
SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY PLEASE, please TRY to refrain from rude wisecracks.

It's very harmful to the self-esteem of millions of Americans. Why did Star Jones, Nicole Richie, Linsday Lohan, and Anna Nicole Smith have to lose weight to be considered attractive? I thought these ladies were better looking with a little meat on their bones.

If you go to a Latino or African country they admire the beauty of curvy women. For example I read a article about a Guyanese girl who noticed the diffrence between the Carribean and the West world. In Guyana, someone like Paris Hilton, Kate moss, or anyone woman built like a supermodel would be considered unattractive because of their body shape.

Funny how one is only racist, trailer-bound and inbred if they are white and have some social commentary? Black nationalists however can spout on and on about how they were the original humans and everyone else are mutations and on and on. Are they racist? Nope, they are empowered! Bullsh*t if you ask me. Besides. . .no one is discounting that black people were the original humans. . .they're the missing link of course, the connection between apes and humans. All other variants on the Homo Sapiens DNA coding is an improvement!

I think that my bike jerseys and shorts are more or less too tight and bright colored to be associated with rebelling... Besides, I wear a helmet as any serious cyclist should! A rebellious one wouldn't. I take my cycling very seriously and I do it often, but I would not expect to be labeled a "rebel" for it, and I was just curious as to why cyclists are labeled as such. Thank you!

I wonder if the cops are in here answering the questions about their involvement in gangstalking, cuz i was just given a msg to watch my back as an answer. Does that tell you anything? I wonder why America is number 23 on the list of best countries according to a recent news report. Could the cops have something to do with that, too? And the gangstalking.

I'm Jewish, but I've been told repeatedly that I look "black Irish"
(dark hair, fair skin, freckles).
Has anyone else been mistaken for Jewish/Irish?
