you're blamed for nearly every bad thing that's happened to anyone? The Native Americans mistreatment, Black slavery, anti Semitism, women not being allowed to vote, Mexican oppression, and on and on. I'm tired of being a white man.

I'm orginally from MS living in Atlanta. I asked this guy what did his conferderate flag mean to him. He told me that he liked the colors and it represented him as a rebel. Umm, yeah right. Why do some people use conferdate flags as decals for their cars and their clothes. I just don't get it. Why are you stil waving these flags? The south LOST! Take the flag away. By being a black female, its very offensive.

I mean we have all spoken to somone on the other end of the internet. But is it possible to really be in love with someone so far away without having met and been in eachother presence? I have seen people proclaim they are and personally I am doubtful.

I am a fulltime student and I work part-time. My fiance is a production operator offshore. We just bought a home and for our ages we are doing really well. The only thing is his mom. She is a so under-handed. I try not to talk to her b/c she is so fake towards me and it hurts b/c all if ever tried to do is get along with her. One day we got in a argument and she called me a n****. And I keep thinking about that. I keep thinking about what she will think of my children. How do I handle this?

Okay, i have found a man that i have fallen in love with, he has told me that he is a sex offender and done research on him, but since right now he is in Jail i cannot see him, and get him to talk to me about anything, because hearing his voice hurts so much.. I appreciated the fact that he told me that he is a sex offender, and told me what happened, but there are gaps in his story that need to be filled in. I honestly love this man and have looked past his past and see a man that truly has love and respect for everyone around him, as long as he gets the same in return. Is it really possible for a person to change, he only has a single offense, and is reluctant to talk about it because he is embarassed about it. I really love this man and want to be with him for the rest of my life and have his children. CAN A SINGLE SEX OFFENDER CHANGE FOR ME(or the person that he loves).

do you think that most guys that are the worst homophobic ones are secretly gay or secretly have some attraction to the same sex?

i saw a show on cable about that.
they were testing two groups of "straight" guys

one group was very comfortable with their sexuality and had no homophobic issues

the other group had very homophobic issues.

they were not told what the study was about.
they put them one by one in a room and and put a device around thier wrist to measure pulse, and around their penis to measure arousal.
then showed them a series of videos of straight and gay porn.

the study showed that the straight guys who were comfortable with their sexuality and were not homophobes had no reaction to the gay porn....while most of the homophobic "straight" guys got aroused while watching the gay porn...

.....aint that a biaaacchh!!

I posed 2 questions about white ppl and I got some responses that were just too serious. Im a part time comedian. I like to laugh at everybody Whites, Blacks , Mexican, Hadicapped, Homosexuals. I dont mean any harm by it, The things that are the funniest are normally true. It's just everybody wants to be a sore *** about it. Like yeah, If you gave blacks reparations the stock in Newport, KFC, and Caddilac would shoot sky high. Or If Blacks love Chicken, Asians love rice, What food is most associated with white ppl???. Why do all asians look alike? This is funny to me. And if yuo keep it real its funny to u too. So ask those questions you want to ask. We are all ppl here of diffrent lifestyles, race,gender ect. I want to hear what have you been wondering about someone who is not like you. We only will understand each other if we get to know each other because regardless on what we look like or have we are all humans when we die.
C'mon ppl I want to hear it. This is no offence taken

Okay Im just trying to understand you guys lodgic, I work with a lot of white people in Downtown Chicago. Im not a rasist I just want to understand you guys Thats all. Im not sterotyping you.
Why is it that a lot of innocent white ppl get killed being Nosey? Like If you guys (most white ppl) hear a series of what sounds like gun shots. Yall get inquizitive "what was that ? I'll check it out" Most "brothers" if we hear those same sounds we start to get low in the "ready to run possition". All it would take is a group of about 2-3 ppl to start running towards us in fear and we just gone join them and ask questions when we stop running. (most) White ppl would just stand there and look all crazy like "Well I wonder whats gotten into those ppl" Next thing you know its a group of innocent dead white ppl. Then the Bro look ignorant on the news telling what happened (But he is still alive). "Yeah uh... we had just starteded runnin this here way then that thang came round Konner I was up"

It is often said by civil rights and other political activists that 'America was built by the blood sweat and tears' of the black man, specifically the slaves.' How true is this? What part of the infrastructure of the North did slaves build? Is this claim a reality or political posturing?

After two years in a very white preschool, I was pleased to find that my daughter's kindergarten class is very diverse, not just black and white, but children of Asian, Mid-Eastern, and Hispanic descent. My daughter has never asked questions about people's appearance before, so I was tongue-tied when she came home yesterday and told me about "the brown boys who keep getting in trouble." How do I explain that that is not an appropriate way to describe people? The intent was certainly not derogatory or malicious; to her it's the same as saying, " the girl with curly orange hair" or "the tall boy." The best advice I could muster was to learn their names so she can refer to them by name. What is the PC lesson here?

Please note that I am talking about a 5 year old. The intent of this question is not to incite the next civil rights movement. Please refrain from any opinionated or inflamatory answers.

What I know about so far, it started out as a group people who worked with their hands -like skilledlabor, they formed an organization -like Seafarers.

Today they carry political weight larger than governemtns and any other informal organizations.
