Other - Cultures & Groups - September 2006

I'm just wondering why there's so many people walking on the streets of downtown New York, like Manhattan where i went sometime ago, and none of them ever say 'hi' or 'how you doin'.' Is there a story behind this? I feel like i'm walking in the streets of New York surrounded by ghosts.

They (Assyrians and Armenians) are being forced out of their homes, murdered, raped, and sent packing simply because they are Christians. Assyrians are the indigenous people of Iraq and they are the one's being persecuted, having their ancient churches bombed. What do you think?

Is life about, learning from our mistakes?
Is it all about learning from mistakes?
Sometimes when I'm alone, I think to myself. "What am I doing here? How did I get here? And, What was my purpose for life?" Does that ever come to your mind?

Since some Arab influence rubbed off on the Spanish over the several-hundred year occupation, it only seems logical that there would be intermarrying.

If they hate the Australian value system so much, why do they live here?
They should be grateful that they were allowed into the country & allowed to have all the good fortune that Australia can give a person.

And I mean when a guy is genuinely interested in you and tries to pick you up in a respecful way (not being annoying, obscene or disrespectful in any way). In many cases it will be the only opportunity we will have to meet you because we might never cross paths with you again. Yes or no and why?

I am a little concerned after reading comments on this site about immigration issues, and so I address this to people who are expressing strong opinions on this subject. I understand the system should be looked at and assessed, but my point is that immigrants HAVE come here, and asylum seekers too, and their kids are in the same schools as your kids. Kids are just kids. They will not understand the politics and will just know if they are being picked on by your kids who have learnt your attitudes from listening to you go on and on about 'scrounging immigrants' etc. Do you think this is fair, on either the kids of these people, who are trying to get used to new schools in a new country, or on your own kids who should be free to make a judgement of another person's character without the bias passed on by their parents?...

Why is Black pride okay... but White pride is racist? WTF?

All minorities ive talked too say the same thing to me!

Why am I considered racist because im proud of my heritage and the my ancestors just like every other race is of theirs...?

Also why do we need a Black History Month when you hear about their history in school? Seems just like more segregation to me...

... one cannot deny the truth in what he said. It is sad to be if we cannot talk about race in America any more. I mean, if the Cos can't say it, who can? And if we can't honestly discuss race issues in America, how can we imporove them?

I am writing a paper in psychology about racism and I would like to know about the differences every day people see in different races whether it be Blacks, Whites, Latin, Palestine, or Asian culture. If you have experienced racism from a different race of people other than your own kind or another race, can you share your opinions on any kind of racism whether you experienced it or someone else around you? Share your experiences - NO JOKES!

Why do we use the term"race" when refering to a person's skin color, rather than "nationality, as when refering to their ethnic background, or country of origin?

I was amazed when I heard some white people saying that black folks are racist for having their own TV channels and stuff... I was like excuse me?
AS a black girl I cant go to a "white " hair salon coz these women just woulndt know what to do with my hair! How many white woman know how to do cornrows ?

I pick up Elle magazine its talking about tanning and well I dont really feel concerned !

I watch Titanic /beautiful story, one of the best ever theres no one like me Ill still watch it but sometimes I need to see on tv stories with people I can relate to who are just like me... Familiarity

Simple as that , we dont do it because we are racist its because we think we that we have been represented pretty unfairly( and you know its true) in the medias so we need to take control,express ourselves with our own sensivity ,own views ,our own words

there was a guy earlier who said we as black people like thuggery and drugs and hoes. What do white people like? Meth thats what. Not to be funny but thats why I can't go in walmart and buy certain cold medicines without being asked for ID. Plastic surgery. Implants and **** they can not afford. The people who really love hoes is the one who control tv overall and we know its not a black man because he could never have that much power.
