Other - Cultures & Groups - December 2006

I'm going to Nicaragua this January, on a humanitarian trip to build a school there. We'll be spending two weeks with host families who live in little huts with very little facilities. I've heard a bunch of horror stories from people who have been in the past years, and I'm actually a little afraid of the culture shock... but I really can't wait to do this! I'm just wondering if anyone has any advice for a really spoiled brat? I want to make the most of this experience.

I'm American female, age 71. When a question is in broken English some of the answers are just to ridicule how the question was asked. If we would show respect for one another it would be a lot more informative. Some one from another country may not know exactly how to speak or spell the English language. Lets all try to do our best. Age, Country and gender (male/female) makes a big difference.

WELL, I seem to have found an original question! I enjoy the forum of asking/answering questions, but when the questions coming from the Americans (I am not one) consistantly bring up the race and or religious differences in their nation, it does narrow the focus somewhat. Any intelligent answers to my question?

Has anyone seen this on CSpann?? This Black professor from a university goes on to talk about his big plans... most interesting part (and I can't believe their isn't a bigger deal about it) is when he goes on to say "We need to exterminate the White people".... are you kidding me??? If it were to be reversed - their would be riots in the street.

Al Sharpton and his ilk, aren't you being blatantly racist? If you believe you are right, you must also believe that sitting in the back of the bus is also right

I was caught masturbating in the nude on the toilet seat to a picture of Jessica Simpson? What should i do?
My 19 year old sister caught me masturbating to a picture of Jessica Simpson and she constantly teases me about it plus I was nude also. She is also threatening to black mail me. I am getting teased on all fronts because she always teases me for liking white women and calls me a banana, a honkey, a uncle tom, oreo, u name it she degrades me because i am a black guy who likes white women. She said " How could u masturbate to a skinny azz white girl with no butt? " I really am tired of it.

For me it is someone who goes to a checkout counter and has to put something back or leave because they are short of the money to pay for it. ... Old people who get scared when someone blows their horn at them because they are driving too slow ..... Someone sitting alone at a movie theatre or restaurant .... People on this site in the jokes area, telling a joke only to get a nasty answer from someone .... People who are scared or in the hospital ....

ok so i was at work today and suddenlt we started talking about religion, then about americans, this co-worker who is very religious and open minded said she does not know why people get mad when there are other races in america because everyone that lives, moves to america is american, i told her i disagree, i told her i only consider whites (causcasian ) americans(unless they have moved from russia ,etc.. i said this because i am cuban and i consider myself hispanic, i am an american citizen, but i dont consider myself american, and i do not consider other races americans other than the white, the woman called me a skin head and went around telling people i work with about this, she said it offended her,.but she is not a minority and my black friends do not consider themselves americans either, they say they are african americans, or just african.. so what do you think, i mean in cuba you are not considered cuban even if youn have a citizen ship unless you are actually born there

If you had the choice, which would you rather be? I've heard a lot of White people say that they'd rather be obese than Black. Is that racist? Is it funny?

i posted a question about what i thought was wrong with my race,(balck) i only got a few mean answers but i see all to often that many o fmy people refuse to see whats wrong with us and want to blame "the white man" for everything. and whay do we use the word n-i-g-g=a? its horrible its what racist use to call us. (yeah they use ni-gg-er and n--i-g-g=a) but they still don't wanna see it. i agree that not everyone of us is like that but we should try to have a more repectable culture. most of the kids at my school and alot of others ones don't have any intrest and really do care about were we come from as a people and don't wanna learn. doesn't it bother them we basically don't have a cutlure, that we can get morals and ideals from. (we had to adopt ours) i believe or generation should shap up and be role models for the many african americans to come.
