I wastalking to my mother today and she kept going on about "white folk"this and "white folk"that.I finally started laughing and said to her"give it a rest with the white folk crap,you sound like a slave!".She got irate and starts cursing me out about how I need to wake up and come out of my ubble and start living in the real world and stop pretending that I'm not a black person like her.Then she starts saying that because I'm married to a white man doesn't make mewhite(like I dont know this).All because I was sick of hearing her ignorant banter.All black people do not speak about whites like that,especially in that term"white folk" so repeatedly.I also WILL NOT have her around my kids talkingthat way.My hubby's grandma is a major bigot(only white is right)and I make an effort to keep my kid away from her. Was I wrong to make this comment ?.Am I wrong to protect my kids from poisonous brainwashing?

Someone who was mad at me told me "You disgust me...I can see your black roots!" and then she walked away from me. Do you think she was referring to my hair, cause I didn't dye my roots for about 2 months and my natural hair color is black. Or, was she referring to the fact I'm half Black?

I just watched a wedding show where a Jew and a Russian were getting married. Now don't get me wrong I am not against relegion, but throwing out food that's not 'kosher'!? Think about it, there are kids on the other side of the world that are starving, and on this side of the world there are people throwing away food because it's not 'kosher'. I can understand why they would want their food like that, but come on people. The end of the world is coming because Jews, Christians, Catholics, and all the other large religions are taking it too far.
If you agree let me know, if you don't tell me why.
Spread the word of Bobbism-believe what you want , from any relegion and respect what others believe. Bob will bring peace to the world if we all join together.

I am a nurse, and I had a patient (private duty twelve hour shifts within the patient's home) her name was Ivy.

Working there was six months of pure hell. Ivy was not a stereotypical 'southern' style racist. One that is upfront, honest, and you can immediately dismiss as 'ignorant'. She was born and raised in California, well learned, well traveled, prestigious family, etc.
That six months, while caring for her, and trying to bring goodness to her life as her nurse, I also became her friend. It took about three months, 60 hours a week (5 day shift) to RETEACH everything she had come to believe about Black people. It was perverse just how she had come to view black people.
The media helps perpetuate this as well. But have any of you......of ANY race ever experienced something so significant, that you will NEVER forget it????

There were nights that Ivy had me running to my car just so I could cry, scream, and PRAY. It hurt like hell, but I definetely grew from it, she did to.

When I was growing up, the term was black. I am a Generation X'er. Then when I got in middle/high school, it became the 'politically correct' thing to say "African American". Well, I'm thirty now, and I've decided that I don't know who the hell came up with African American, but that isn't me. I am Black.
Some may say that Black is a color, not a race. Well, I can understand and agree with that. But I also maintain that I am Black. Only because as an American Black woman, I have no identity or where to draw my family lines back to. And we have been very diluted with other cultures as well.
So.....I am proud to be a Black woman. NOT AFRICAN AMERICAN because I am NOT nor have I ever been a citizen of Africa. And my ancestors vary. American Black people are a mixed group. Just look at the range of colors that we possess.

So........American Black, or African Americans.....what do YOU prefer to be called, and why?

Have you people hate dogs? I deeply hated them. They're annoying turd eating mindless yappers that goes on forever. plus they bite people for no good reasons! people died by dogs!

How many cats are ever like that? none! this is why i am a huge cat lover!

Do you hate dogs? if so, why do you? I was nearly mauled for no good reason by the devil dog. little toy dogs kept yapping at me like i was invading their territory. No matter how much urine they spray where i live is my damn territory.

I was watching a 60 minutes about how teenagers were going "bumhunting" and beating, setting fire to, and killing homeless people. I know Bumfights was a major influence, but what can make somebody take a 2 by 4 with a nail through it and smack a homeless man on the head? It used to be blacks, women, homosexuals, now the homeless? Ridiculous. What is wrong with America?
