My dad and I were talking while watching the Amish shooting on the news. I commented on how sad I thought it was I then he said, "The Amish are racist aren't they?" I had never thought about, but he thought they were. I asked my friend who is a Jehovah's witness, but mixed with Jewish and hispanic, and she said they were. Her mom had visted an Amish place, and she heard that they were. I was wondering if anyone knew anythin else about it.

I'm sorry but i am so sick of our great country changing its American ways to fit those who cannot understand. IF you come to this country you need to know how to read, write, and speak English! I mean seriously our ancestors came to this land to get away from the stuff they were being treated unfairly, and to be their own people. I'm sorry but my grandfathers and other relatives did not fight in terrible wars just for our country to bow down to those lower than us who cannot even speak our NATIVE LANGUAGE!

can full black people be attractive? I'm not trying to be mean but the media and society makes it seem like it's not so. Especially with girls. everytime you turn on the t.v. you see a halle berry or tyra banks looking girl on t.v. not a real black one.

I think it is because people unconsciously don't like staring at an unattractive person.

I found one last week while travelling. The people had smiles on their faces, made jokes/ conversation and it was just great. In fact, I ask one of them if all the people in the state are that way and she pretty much agreed. The state in which I live does not compare and the person even mentioned that. She was correct too.

"The Celts are from Ireland and Scotland".

Oh Yeah? And what about Wales then? What are we - a town in England?! Pah!

Actualy the Celts originated from all OVER the British Isles in the pre Roman and Saxon times.

Yes, white people rely on developing "white" social skills because they know that in the USA, the best jobs are being occupied by white people, and they got to the top by having "whitie" skills. White people don't need to be sensitive to other ethnic groups to find work. But other ethnic groups need to learn and be fake to mimick the "white" social order to get a job. That is why white people don't rely on getting good grades through school, they don't need that as much as having white social skills. That is why chinese born asians who cling to good grades and yellow culture will have difficulty in finding a job when it is offered by whitie. So many yellows start their own business to avoid asking one from whitie which he will never get anyway. White man sucks. Go al cada, kill whitie americans.

my background. two years of law. accounting degree, business degree, and have had many experiences being at the reciever end of the racist white man in business, social settings, employment

"Actually, the Cure has undergone multiple incarnations, the original being postpunk, and varying from gothy to poppy and encompassing many other genres, depending on album and song. Robert Smith, lead singer (and lynchpin) of the Cure actually claims the Cure is "A pop band," which I initially found surprising. (It isn't really, though, if you've studied their history.)
System of a Down and Korn are alternative/nu-metal, but you would be hard pressed to find anyone who would categorize them as goth, and it would be even more difficult to find someone willing to categorize them as punk.
Happy listening,

Was I accurate in my description?

What do you think about most blacks? In particular how do you feel about black women? I know most of you that answer this question will lie, but please, try and be honest. Do you think about race as much as minorities do? I know you have less of a awareness than miniorites because you are the majority and so everything is aimed at your race. When you are a minority, your race is always an issue. Such as myself. Whenever I meet someone new, they always want to know what my race is. It is natural, but sometimes I wish I had more white features so that my race wouldn't always be an issue. I hate being considered black because it sucks to be black. I hate that about myself because I never fit in. I wish race didn't exist but society refuses to put an end to it. You guys have it so good and you don't even realize it. Many white guys don't even look at me because they want blonde white girls first. It hurts.

The dark skinned baby is just as black as the light skinned baby. They have the same parents only they received different genes. If the one drop rule is still in effect, then the blue-eyed blonde baby is still black right? How come stars like Halle Berry are called black when they are really just mixed, and this little light twin is called white? Mixed people should not be called black or white, they should be called mixed. It irritates me.

Also, they act as if it is such a terrible thing that the one came out darker. The darker twin is much more cute than the bald light twin that resembles Elmer Fud, and this seems to be the case with most mixed people. Obviously whites have it better in this country, but not when it comes to looks. A mixed heritage always makes for a better looking person in my view.

Me and boyfriend were out at mall and we started to make-out and people were all telling us to "get a room" and "stop doing that in public". I don't see what we did wrong. We're out in public, and we have the right to kiss whenever.

I just answerd a question that kind made me think. This person who posted the question seemed to think that black people think all white people are racist, and think that whites get treated better in society. Well, they do, and no matter how many times people deny it, it's still the truth. Why are they getting angry about it? Because it negates the "blacks being the most racist" thing?

Anthropologists found the oldest mummified remains in the sands of the Ethopia. Two adults and a child. Carbon dating found that the remains were the oldest ever discovered, 0ver 150,000 years old, they are believed to be our earliest relatives.
The different colors and bone structure are the natural evolution of humans adjusting to climate, food, and living conditions as they migrated out of Africa. We are one people.

This is why I feel all black people are to be held in special regard, as they are our great-grandparents, in a way!

It makes me disappointed when people are racist. You're insulting your genetic parents (Black people) and humanity.

I never could understand why some family members, think they are better than others, when you all have the same blood, running through your veins. Regardless of what you have accomplished out of life, it doesn't give you the right, to look down on others.
