Now before you all go off on me, I am 1/4 black.

But to me, It seems that racism is perpetuated by the african american community. Everytime my boyfriend does something REMOTELY wrong at work to someone african american, they pull the "racism" card on him and file a complaint that he treated them differently because he was white and they are black. He did not do ANYTHING wrong to deserve this.

Also, at my college, there's a huge scholarship that I qualify for... the only reason I cannot receive it, is because i'm not 100% black. I'm sorry, but you KNOW if there was an all white scholarship, there would be INTENSE racism, and my college would probably get sued. So why is it okay this way around?

Furthermore, don't pull the slave card. Sure, my ancestors were probably slaves. But you know what? They're not alive and neither are the white slaveowners. Why are we holding grudges when NONE of us were there?

Love yourself, black or white. What do you thiink?

kk so i live in israel and there's a debate on whether or not there should be a gay pride parade (we call it walk/march) in jerusalim..the capital.

the hasidic jews claim that it's desturbing because it's the holy city..others like me claim that it's just a march and instead of doing it in tel aviv like we usualy do, we should bring it to the capital.

i think walking in the capital will be huge! i mean..just this century gays were beaten or killed bc/well..they were gay! it happened in the united states too..and now the gays finally have their freedom of speach...symbolic speach that is...expression..they can go out and say "hey i'm gay" without having a fear of dying or getting hurt..so why not?

also the leader of the march is a hasidic lesbian..yes hasidic. she has a girlfriend and she prays 24-7. so i don't get why this is so desturbing..

well??? what do you guys think???

I lived in the US for a year, and yes, my english accent did get slurred and I started to lose it. I noticed that Irish people in the US never seemed to lose their accent even if they'd been living there for 20 years. All the english people I met who'd lived there more than a few years were indistinguishable from americans in their accents. Note Frasier's father in the TV series as a prime example, he's an english actor, but lost his accent long before the Frasier series started.

Most of our ancestors came from Africa during slave times....what if they never came to America? Most of us would still be in Africa living in poverty (even though some blacks live in poverty in America) and surrounded by AIDs, some of us may even have been born with AIDs. Though I am not condoning slavery I am just taking something bad and making it into something that I can appreciate my ancestors going through so that we may live in freedom in the richest nation in the world. Who's to say that if my ancestors never came that I would have had the opportunity to be in college working on my bachelors degree. So I pray and thank my ancestors everyday for the torment they went through that gave me the chance to become who and what I am today...a very educated black woman.

I blame you for trying to trick blacks into thinking that "it's soooo wrong to think about slavery"

Why dont you move on and stop dwelling about Jesus?

You dont need that "load". Move on

You see how stupid that sounds?

Dwelling leads to learning
Learning leads to recovery

How many blacks are educated on the phychological affects of slavery?

Not many

So, I dont think we're ready to "MOVE ON"

why do people get pissed off when the church wants to have some input in the functioning of the country. Its ok for church and state to blend when it is conveinient but kids can't say the pledge of allegance in school because GOD is in it. What the hell is up with that? The seperation of Church and state has nothing to do with religious freedom it has to do with religious factions running the government, so why do people get so bent out of shape over things like calling Christmas, Christmas. It is what it is. Its like saying that you can't call the American Flag the American Flag because we aren't all Americans.

Ok first of all think about this everybody knows there is racism in this world and quite possibly always will be but there is obviously a reason for it. (This is in no way ment to offend anyone just for the record sodont write that i am racist and all that crap) ok check it out... why are their sterotypes on people...example all blacks are thugs who wear their pants too low and drink 40s from their porch and if you see them at night and your alone go a different direction and they all wear cloths that are way to big on them and cant shut up and they have to be loud all the time. ect. now why is that perseption there... because we still see it and that will never go away. i guess the best way to put it is if anybody calls somebody predudice for saying something regurding an ethnic group (or sex) think about why.. the simple answer is not because we are racist or sterotypical it because that is what we see still. To end racism everybody will need to stop being what they are...
