Other - Cultures & Groups - November 2006

Hey yall I hope everyone has been fine. I went on this trip last week and before I really used to think Mormons were just stupid and there ideas weren't really that modern. Well my luck on the trip there was a big group of Mormons and we compared religions and I realized that my religion was really close to theirs. Now I feel really stupid for how I felt earlier about them. To make a long story short I learned a lot of things about other cultures too. And I realized this could be a great college major about learning about people's cultures (race, religion, and location around the usa) guys can u please help me what college major would this fall under??? And how can I learn more about cultures???

Are Americans really dispised by Europeans like we are led to believe by the media? If so, it would almost certainly be due to a lack of understanding, where is the break-down? The vast majority of Americans are warm caring people.

Or /and what foreign nationals did you use to live next door to or went to school with. By nationality of birth or citizenship, not parents or grandparents.

I come from coastal Sussex, which although a port town is not cosmopolitan like London.

The foreign nationals are increasing rapidly, more new ones this year than any other. Some I do not know which part of eastern Europe. These are new nurses.

Is it okay to say that? What if someone were to provide statistics showing that it is true, would it still be okay to say it or would it still be considered racist towards either whites or blacks.

My main problem with this word is firstly, Africans and Black Americans do not look a like, at all. Secondly, the majority of the "African Americans" are not even from Africa. I mean, MAYBE their ANCESTORS were from Africa, like five hundred years ago, but that is just pretty stupid if you think about it. It is like someone claiming to be Mexican all because their great, great, great, great, great Grandmother was from Mexico. How come this does not apply to anyone else, but "African Americans" in America?

Seems there is an old bad word in town....n i g g e r.
Are people that insecure to hear the word? Every news story that points to the issue is afraid to put it in print and on screen....if they do.....there is a serious warning.
Kids these days use more profane words to describe women, gays and other races...yet this one word is almost the death sentence for anyone to utter it.
The "Kramer Guy" used it and it seems the world just came to an end...I have heard black comedians and singers use the word in worse derogatory terms than what had happened.
Do you agree that the "N" word issue has been overly used to claim a racist world and do you think it's ok for blacks to use the word....and if it's ok for other races to mock others?

In my town, we now call him 'Quanell Ten'. He doesn't even deserve to use a ripoff version of the name 'Malcolm X' although that shows his lack of intelligence. Boy gotta be an imitator.

Question is...after you Google his name and read of his ignorance...he wants his thug bruthas to go to white neighborhoods and kill as many crackers as possible.
Think he's pretending to resolve what he considers to be hate crimes? Or just another thug who doesn't really want to work and just wants publicity? He has no credibility with anyone who has an IQ over 20. Educated Black leaders want nothing to do with him.
Want him in your town? He's coming.

This in my opinion is an underrated virtue and one that is not impressed upon children, how do you think we can instil this value on our children to create a better society?
