I'm a progressive liberal and I have finally been freed! Now that we heros are taking back America, which of our nobel works do you guys think we should accomplish first. 1) Raise taxes to provide food/homes/college education to the nobel terrorists. 2) Raise taxes to provide freedom and homes to every single heroic american locked in prison. 3) Open the boarders and allow every person who wants to come here, at the tax payers expense of course, come in and ruin our economy, commit sex crimes without punishment. 4) Create a new budget that will disband any american fighting force (We won't need them now that we aren't starting wars) and use the money to fly our new North Korean and Iranian masters over here first class to do what ever they like!

Which do you think we should do first?

Im in high school right now and there are always people that joke about me being jewish. Normally i say something back but it gets annoying. And the Borat movie didn't make it any better because the whole time they made fun of Jews. I dress and look like everyone else and they make fun of me for being Jewish. Why do you choose someones religion to make fun of them?

Do you like to converse with other nationalities on here or do you stick with your own counrty. Personally I think the best thing about this place is getting opinions from all over the world.

I have friends from all walks of life. A somewhat religious Muslim kid, and a lower-middle class German, a Filipino with immigrant parents, and a middle-class Jew make up all of my best friends. I am Cuban, Italian, Irish, and Native American. We constantly make jokes on one another for our backgrounds (example: I call my German friend a Nazi, he calls me a Communist, we call my Muslim friend a terrorist, etc.).

In addition, I have no problem with the n-word, because if black people want to use it, why should I care? (I don't say it, however.)

I know this sounds like a really dumb question and random, but is this racism? We don't really mean it or anything; it's all in good fun. But these comments and remarks come from somewhere. Is it possible that I'm slightly racist to some degree despite my ideas on equality?

I spent an hour last night with my black boyfriend listening to comic after comic make fun of people of my race. I know this has been addressed before but then I think not because I'm not sure how many white people actually watch BET enough to know how we are spoken of. If a black person were to watch George Carlin or Jeff Foxworthy talk about lynching someone in a joke, how would that go over? Wouldn't the NAACP be up in arms in a split second? Wouldn't Al Shartpton and Jessie Jackson rush to speak out against the injustice? C'mon people. Remember Rodney King, second only to Martin Luther King in his sentiment - "Can't we all just get along?"

I understand that they were treated wrong, but none of the Blacks living today were slaves. They act like they were the only slaves in history, when everyone living today is a descendant of a slave, even if the person was enslaved 100's of years ago. Hey, I am Irish, and we once went through the same thing. Irish women were raped, and the men were tortured and enslaved by the British and Scandinavians, but do I hate them? No, I don't. I have learned that because a couple of people in one group do something, it doesn't mean you can discriminate against the whole group. Why can't this crap stop.

[Singing]
Seein' with my ghetto eyes
I walkeded with my ghetto feet
I talkeded with my ghetto speech
I'm copasetic, I won't let it bring me down
Bring me down...

I say it's enstilled
As I peep from beneath the titled brim of my pinwheel
Steady mobbin', heavy problems
Genocide resynthesize to violence, makes it hard to sympathize
Harden, individuals whose feelings is miniscule
Soon become criminals if you dark-skinned
And you was raised in a project apartment
Public Aid made it that your father couldn't stay
He had to part then, left with only a mother
The family structure suffers
He will soon cling to hustlers, as his guardians
He still a boy, needs to fill a void, marchin'
Up the block up to no good, sellin' in the wrong hood
He was taken down by a marksmen
At his wake, 8th Grade Graduation picture
Last words: Don't let the habitation get ya
Pardoned, Lord have mercy on the fallen
Amen, feel like I'm hardened
Got the harbinger for the coming of the carpenter
Til then, I got some big fish to fry like Marlins
Part ******, steady mobbin'

[Chorus]

And I try to see past it
Through the down-roll window on the driver side of my Caprice Classic
Steady mobbin', corner store traffic
i.e. dope fiends, hookers and teens with alcohol IVs
I see, plastic, cups is a nickel, 50 cent for Dutch Masters
My big brother's Pelle Pel' lingers of a fargone weed smoke
Lookin' for greener pastures, pasturized 2% for $2.19
You can get 2 quarts, there's also a sale on Newports
A seperate line for Lotto, bumpy face, add a model
Huggin' a bottle, salt and sour Jays, and blueberry Hugs
Shorties consider a meal, been my feel for it
Sweatin' for a pair of Air Jordans they would steal for
And a gold chain 4 fiends would knife, wild and kill yours
There's nothing too promising on our billboards
Drink Tanqueray, eat KFC, come abort your child
Buy Nikes, which makes it highly unlikely that we gon' fight, G
Steady mobbin'

[Chorus]

And I'm still on
As I stroll down the same street so many like me once before, were killed on
Steady mobbin', thinkin' bout the Black Panthers
And the babies that were born in the late '80s
That now have babies that lack Pampers
No Kwaanzas and they lack Santas
And the father who thinks shoe-shopping is the answer
Skipped out on parenthood classes so she don't know how to handle her
And never learned from her grandmother
One day got hot, couldn't take it, dropped her in a vacant lot
Album of Life, now condensed into a sampler
See the shapes these little girls is gettin'?
Somethin' say the steroids in the chicken is the cause of the thickening in the young women
Livid, see some shorties playin' Cops & Robbers, livin'
Bittersweet thoughts is what I had for them
I can picture colder feelin' Police chasin' after them
Catchin' up to, friskin' and askin' them
Where the packs at? Who yo' cheif is? Where the straps at?
Am I thinking too hard? Or perhaps that's reality
In a project mentality, but through it all
I hope we learn more than how to be whores and how to move a ball
Steady mobbin'

[Chorus]

I went to a clothing optional beach last weekend in Miami, Florida and I was surprised at how many minors were on the beach. Most of them seemed to be in groups with their friends. How does the law allow a 12 or 13 year old girl to be around grown naked men like that but in any other scenario it would be considered inappropriate and illegal. I am 31 years old and I was lying nude near the shore and when it turned to my right, I saw 5 teenage girls lying nearby none of them looked over 14. I felt weird because there I was totally naked on my back with my one incher there and these girls were looking over. I then took my towel, put on my flops and left to another part of the beach. Low and behold there was like 5 teens over there also, 3 boys and two girls. I felt like the beach was full of middle age or high school age kids. Why isnt this illegal? None of those girls were nude. In fact they all had on shorts or skirts. This leads me into thinking they are there to gawk. Isnt this wrong?

I hate when whites ask me why do I wear weaves...it's not because I want to look white but because I can. Whites wear hair extentions, it's the same thing. Too make your hair look longer. I'm getting sick and tired of reading these posts saying that Blacks need weave or are trying to look white. There is several black women who hair is naturally long...all black women do not have curly hair. Just like you have whites who have curly hair and straightened it and those who have natural straight hair. I am very tired of the jealousy that is posted about blacks. In that case we should ask why do whites tan...are they trying to be darker like blacks?? No we don't think that way...

I have heared that JEWS are the smartest people on earth, much smarter than the brahimns from India.
One of this must be true
Are Jews smarter because of the Covenent (promise) that Jehova GOD made with their ancestors.
OR
Is it just that Jews were from the begining one group of smart people who were smart enough to write the Bible and through a jew named Jesus spread their GOD to the world.

Feel free to express your views.

I am bi-racial, black and Japanese. My mother is Japanese so her style of parenting was different from American women in general.

From what I have been told, white mothers have the tendency to be friends first then the parent with their children while black mothers are the parent first then as the friend. I know that this can’t be true or is it? Also, what are some of the differences if any between mothers?

I posed this question because my father recently made a comment that if I ever got involved with a white woman make sure her children are well behaved and disciplined.

Any thoughts?
