Racism has always started with White people. They are the people that have invented racial slurs to use upon people that are different from them. It is the White man that has eradicated many species of animals that are now extinct and are still continuing to exterminate them. It is the White man that believed his 'kind' were the most superior group in the universe. How wrong that was. It has only been the White man that has created groups that oppress innocent human beings. It is the White man that came to Africa with greed and barbaric blood running through their veins. They then plundered the land, raped the women and children, killed the men, enslaved the people, and tried forcing their own beliefs and political system in the African nations. The Africans had their own well functioning system. It was running perfectly fine. You chained the African people and brought them to land that you stole and force them to work and build America as it is now.

Consider how it takes programming to make someone racist. Are they not also victims?

I'm doing a project on interracial dating.I was looking at a comment made by Welsey Snipes and he had said "I don't like Black women because they are unattractive and have bad attitudes" and I was looking up articles and the Blakc men who were being interviewed we're saying that black women are better to date and they have better attiudes and they always had negative comments about Black women. I hate this so much. I mean, I have nothing against Interrcial dating, I hate it when people do it for the wrong reaseon and do it out of ignorant stereotypes. Don't you think it's wrong that someone excludes from dating a whole ethinicty of people just because of stereotypes? Don't you think it's very self-hating when someone bashes their own race for another?

EMO - short for "emotional." Emo is a broad title that covers a lot of different styles of emotionally-charged punk rock. This site is intended to introduce the reader to all the common styles, describe them musically, and give ideas about the essential records of all those styles.

I'm fed up with reading all these questions here online in relation to racism. It happens on both sides and I'm sick of it. I'm absolutely heart-torn that there are people out there that enjoy putting groups of other people down. I just feel like rolling into a ball.

I just want to make it clear. You can be proud of your heritage and all but don't put other races and cultures down. What makes you think your is better? There is no measurement for it. Heck, there isn't even such thing as Race. Every human alive are very similar to each other genetically, except for features on the outside.

And I'm also annoyed that dark skinned women and men are not given equal chance in the media.

I REALLY THINK HIP-HOP, RAP NEEDS TO GO!

This world is screwed.

I know that the name Heidi has mostly German roots. Everywhere I look it says it's German, but could it also be Swedish? Or something else?

I don't get it. I hear all the time that blacks don't consider themselves as african but just "black" and indian. Even if a person has .00009 percent indian blood they consider themselves as indian and black but not african.

if your biracial or not you may understand. I myself, am half black/half white, when people ask me my race. I say white, just to throw them off. I am a darker than the average "milano" person. I consider myself "other" because my dad isnt 100% black and my mom mostly white. But this is the thing i dont understand, the criticizm. At a young age, i knew i was different. Black girls telling me " you act too white " and pulling my curly hair telling me its a weave, when it wasnt. And white girls telling me that i should stop acting white. I dont appreciate either of the comments from either races, i am me. No one else, I am proud of who i am, half black and half white. I could be put in a sterotype of " prep " but i get critized for it often. I, personally am physically attracted to white/hispanic/asian boy, I cant tell you why, but I personally am. Why is that so wrong in society? Because I look black i must be black and like black boys? Or act black? I dont under America somedays.

I sware, I joke about it all the time, and dont get it. Most Americans celebrate Christmas, and ever since 911 people are calling things like a holiday party, a holiday tree etc. It's like we can't say Marry Christmas. HELLO PEOPLE, TIME TO WAKE UP!!!! We have been living with Jews who do not celebrate Christmas, and did not make a fuss about it. Why do we have to do these things for the people who crashed into the towers? HELLO PEOPLE!!!

Don't you think we might be better off without them?
I mean, who cares about kilts and haggis when the Middle East is on the verge of World War 3.
I'm fed up that no one ever mentions this and we're all meant to act like we're friends with them.
All they do is drink whiskey, fight at football games and shout at my dog when it goes in their garden.
What good are the Scottish??

Now before u start giving me nasty replies i must say that i am not racist myself in any way. However as a so called "white guy" i realize that many black people, except the black dudes ive chosen as friends, seem to be able to be racist against whites but nothing ever gets said about it. but if i were to say something similer to what they say it would be a big controversy. Also ive had things pointed out to me by many people, including blacks who seem to think its funny and something to shove in a white persons face, that the black community can get away with things whites cant. I.E. black collages and the ***** collage fund. now i dont know if its truely a collage only blacks can attend but the name is very suggestive. but i could only imagine what would happen if whites had a school only whites could go to or money set aside for only white children to go to collage. so please i would love an intelligent and heartfelt answer to this question have. thank u.

I used to work crappy job after another just to meet the girls my age. I go to school at night and everyone there is too old for me. Where do 18-20 y.o. girls congregate? I want to join some volunteer organizations, to actually help people and make a difference, and score some good boy points. When I do join a club or organization, how long do I stay before I can exit quietly?

... not all Spanish speakers understand the things Portuguese speakers say?

Recently I answered a question about languages that were similar (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AmggtcNaJoWYsBALmN_5w4fsy6IX?qid=20061124045736AAmg71v&show=7#profile-info-5caa6bb98f036217c4647d1397fb2d14aa), and you said that you had seen "hundreds of conversations between Brazilians and other South Americans that started out in Portuguese/Spanish, but switched to English right away because the Spanish speakers could not understand the Portuguese speakers". Driven by curiosity, I asked at the Spanish forum if they think it's true and why it happens (http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AnW1fcwq2Ak92oDLyIjsc2Psy6IX?qid=20061126054540AAHmvRG).

As you can see, they said it's true, but none of them was able to tell me why. As a linguistics professor, do you have any idea why does it happen?

If anyone else feels like answering, be my guest.
