Other - Cultures & Groups - December 2006

I know this doesn't go for all of them, but the African American males I've been around have only two main ambitions: to be a pro athlete or a rap star. Why not a chemist, or a stock broker, or an insurance salesman? I'm sure those exist. Why not more?

This is about the small percentage that say they never grew up around minorities. They are so aware of everything minorities do when they should treat us like they treat other white people. They hold their opinion about the other races based off of a few of those minorities. One black person is rude, it means every black person is rude, for example. Why can't that person just be rude? Not a BLACK rude.

My husband and I are always mistreated or given the cold shoulder by whites in our community. Neither of us is 100% black. I'm black, puerto rican, and creole. My hubby is black and indian. We are lighter skinned (not saying that matters...I'm just stating all facts), well groomed, educated, articulate, and attractive people. We have a beautiful new baby who is cute as a button...so we get a lot of attention. Usually, it's older white people who frown their faces at us and act like it pains them to look at us. Why?

Now...I'm not one of those opressed black people who blaims "the man" for every bump in the road. I have taken my success into my own hands and worked hard for the accomplishments I've achieved. Yes, those ignorant blacks do exist (as do ignorant asses of all races) but we're miles apart from those people. Our class level is head and shoulders above the ghetto blacks in the inner city. Why r we unfairly treated by what my hubby likes to call "racist bastards"?

What should I do? I haven't done or said anything to them nor about them. I don't even know who they are. What is going on?

that we get that message, "To continue in English press one"?
And - more importantly - why not something like, "To continue in Spanish, press one"?

I'm sure you know what I mean. For many a year, your average Western person has been white, straight, Christian, eats meat, etc. (I'm all of the above, except I'm an athiest, not a Christian.)

With the changes in racial equality, gay rights, vegetarianism, the introduction of other cultures and religions, the social norm has been challenged. A lot of straight, white, meat-eaters have been freaked out by the changes and have behaved quite badly. Conversely, a lot of the people *making* the changes (not all, & not the ones just living by these choices) condemn people like me and shout 'proudly' about whatever they are and often try to convert others to their way of thinking.

Are these activists trying to convince themselves they made the right choices, and are they afraid that if the social norm still leans toward being straight or eating meat, that they may be tempted back to these behaviours?

PS I'm all for making different choices - just not the attendant 'us and them' war.

I have a friend who teaches college English and he has shown me papers written by some of his African American students. They are full of things like "She do this.." and " I be that.." I'm not trying to be condscending. I just want to know why this is done.

Bear with me on this one please;

I'm not gay but I made this question in Yahoo Mexico! and I got a whole bunch of answers and names of famous people that I didn't even know they were gay!

The 10 points will go to the longest list, names must have last names and they will be subject to verification. Thanks!

I am 37 years old, and have been trying to date black ladies, but with no luck. I have had white dates. I have an accent, and maybe I am a bit difficult to understand, I dont know. Or, is it possible that black women prefer only blacks mostly and whites but not Greeks? I need your advice. Thank you. You may email me if you like.

Since i was a little kid i always wanted to know why everyone on Univision and Telemundo all white. Is like when you watch telenovela all hispanic are white when most hispanics are NOT white. And the few that you see that are latins are the maids. Is it racism within hispanics or what? I'm dying to know.

I would like to hear people's confessions about little things that they did yesterday that they wish they could undo.

I was at a pizza place yesterday with a friend. After we ordered the pizza he went to the bathroom and then the pizza was ready and waiting on the counter. I went to pick it up for him but when I was carrying it back to the table I dropped one of the slices on the floor. I was about to buy another one for him but instead I just picked up the slice and put it back on the plate and put it in front of his chair. When he came back from the bathroom he never knew what happened. He ate it and I felt guilty the whole time.


I think it would be funny to hear if anything happened to others yesterday that they wished they could take back.

Does seeing a black man with a white women bother you? Or even a mexican man with a white women? Etc, etc, and etc. I have heard that it bothers the black race more than the white race. Is that true? I myself do not have a mixed race marriage. I think it is their bussiness and it is their life, but know everyone does not think that way.
