My husband has been a professor at Northern Ky. University for 26 years. He recently gave a test containing two parts. One, multiple choice, and two an oral presentation. The oral presentation was graded on making eye contact with the audience and the contents of material. This is a criminal justice class. Well, this black girl got all the other blacks in the class (5) and decided to give their presentation together. Fine says my husband. He graded all of them equally as all the other students. The only black guy in the group got an A because he never looked down at his notes during the oral part and got 100% on his multiple choice. The rest were scattered B's and C's. This one particualr girl received a B and complained. Said she did not like her grade and he needed to regrade it. He said he would when he could. She went to department head. My husband was told to give this girl an A. He would not do it. She actually got a C and he curved her grade. Is this right?

It seems like every (yes every) single time I come to Yahoo Answers, there are 5 or 6 questions asked by white people about stuff like: Why do black girls have big asses? And, why do black people have dark gums? And Why do black people have attitude problems? They are huge exagerations of stero types. I don't understand why anyone would be so culture-blind and ask a question like that. Why are these people so worried about how black people live their lives. If it bothers you, then help make a change.

Recently, my wife has had to put up with harassment from lesbians that simply wasn't there before. She started working as a waitress and it intensified. When we lived in Edmonton, she was harassed and assaulted by gay women in bars. She is very demure, doesn't show a lot of skin and isn't gay. She isn't butch, either.
She doesn't hang out at gay clubs, these are regular bars.

These were regular bars she went to with her friends, as well as on the street and at the bus stop. She didn't drive back then.

Less than 6 weeks ago, she was assaulted by a lesbian after ignoring her incessant demands for a kiss and this woman crashed into a wall after chasing her and it was her own fault. She went up to my wife and started thrashing around, hitting her, threatening her and slapping her. I do not see any basis for this type of behaviour. Maybe the woman has a problem but it is not my wife's fault and being gay is not an excuse, nor does it lessen the wrong or excuse it.

I don't have a problem with say, the gay guy at the liquor store who is polite to us. As far as the article goes, I didn't write it and happened upon it by accident while searching the Internet. I just wanted to know what people think. I am not saying it is immoral or that it should be illegal to be gay.

..right to feel thjat their musical tastes are superior to those who listen mainly to popular Top-Forty music? By no means am I saying that one group is better than anybody else, or that one group would believe itself to be better than another. Not trying to insult. Your thoughts please.

I just want other opinions on this. I know this happened a long time ago but it still makes me so mad. It was so unfair how white people(and I am white) came over here and made the NA'S leave land that they have always known. They were treated so mean. So many times I wish it never happened. Native Americans are still pretty much hidden away. We never see anything with them in it on TV for instance. What do you think?

I am asking this question since I posted a question a while back, concerning the gap between me and my fiance. (20 and 45) I am not having second thoughts about getting married, since I love him and he loves me too. Since I am Filipina and he is American, I am being judged to be one of those Philippine mail order bride. Whoah! It's terrible how people GENERALIZE Filipinas. I belong to a well off family and I have had a relationship with someone my own age but I am never happier than I am now. Q: Are there any chances that Filipinas could beat it with the F.M.O.B thing?

Niggaz think they're awesome coz they say they'll beat the crap out of any non-black that calls them a Nigg(a). Little do they understand that's what makes them Niggaz.

Niggaz=NOT (necceserily) black people.

Hi there. As we all know in any given news bulletin at the moment muslims seem to feature in at least two. Lately, excluding war stuff, it has featured on the vail and traditional dress but it seems to me it is allways something. I feel that non muslims are not welcome to comment on muslims who always take offense at whatever we say. It's all single minded religious prattle in my opinion (im an atheist) and i feel they should be quite and get off their high horse and make some effort to intigrate in our society.
I'm not a 'send um all home..' type but it's getting on my t**** at the moment!

The person asked: "Who's is more nerdy: Asians or Caucasians"?

The people who said Asians were more nerdy got thumbs down and the people who said that Caucasians were nerdier got thumbs up.

This may sound stupid or even ignorant, but the issue raised lately in press about muslim women wearing veils , begs this question, if they are keen to wear them or their religion forbids not wearing them. Then what would happen if one of these women was abducted , how would the general public be able to assist if they didnt know what she looked like, would a picture of a pair of eyes be of much use ?
