Other - Cultures & Groups - December 2006

To be more precise. Is it really something passed down or realized in ones life. Two children of different ethnic origins can be born live together and never know they are different unless someone else tells them they are. So is it in the telling or in the finding?

I've been reading bbc.co.uk and it seems many countries have new youth skinhead movements, and neo-Nazi movements. Why? Which countries have the most issues?

No doubt there will be countless questions on this today, so I might as well ask it too!

Should we, as a county open our arms to different cultures and traditions, as at the end of the day that is how Britain started in the first place. Or is it our duty to protect "British traditions"? In my opinion we have let British culture slip. Hopefully I don't come across as racist cause I'm not, but I am british and proud of it! It seems to me like sensible people are now overly concerned with not offending other cultural groups when they are neglecting their own. Shoud we therefore be seen as racists, or should we be seen as patriotic. Sorry if this offends, but I do believe more concern should be placed on keeping Britain British. A slightly pigheaded way of looking at it is; could we go to another county and ban or censor religous holidays, just as Christmas is being here?

Ah now I stopped, what do you guys think?

During VH1's award show many racial slurs were made including the use of the "n" word. Must of the time was spent downgrading Micheal Richards. However, the presenter was black. Those attending were quite but many laughed. I was disappointed that the double standard was applied once again.

legitimate to believe democracy will save them? Or is democracy like religion: good for some, not for others? Cultural differences are legitimate and not to be ignored.

The First Ammendment states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof". Since the ban on gay marriage in no way respects the establishment of religion *or prohibits it* this is NOT a "seperation of church and state" issue, even if such a thing existed.
People just need to get a grip and realize that gays are not prohibtted from doing anything we heterosexuals do. A gay person may legally marry a person of the opposite sex. Granting them special rights makes them a special class, which would violate the 14th Amendment. It states that "No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States". It must follow then that all rights of all citizens are the same and we are therefore equal under the law.
I therefore submit to you that to make gay marriage legal in the United States would be a violation of MY consitutuional rights, since I am not gay.

I left this on this girls myspace profile because I was crazy for her. It was my parting words with her at least for the year. I cannot afford to chase her anymore. This saddens me. I wish our story was one with a happy ending, and not one thats tragic. I hope that we both take these words to heart.

Please, serious replies if you can muster 'em. Writing a novel, need white male input. Character is a college professor, married to a professional black woman who is having an "identity crisis" based on her discovery that he's been having an affair with one of his students (a WHITE girl). Sort of stuck on the reasons he might have been "attracted" to his (black) wife, and how her insecurities might affect him on a psychological level. Don't want to make it about race, but I don't have much research to go on other than my own relationships with white men, which haven't necessarily been anything like what I'm writing. Any information on how white men approach women of color, in particular black women, and what are their expectations going into a relationship--the factors that would lead to a marriage between two very different psychologies based on American history of slavery, and the ambivalence that has ensued between them. Thanks all!

ps. all answers considered, of course.
