All Black History Month does is remind people of the bad time of slavery... Shouldent we just try to forget about what happend and try to move on?

- There is NO white person that lives today that was a Slave Master.

- There is NO black person that lives today that was a slave.

- When we Get into Black History Month, It reminds black people of what happend and could sometimes get them more racist towards white people.

- When we get into Black History Month White People start to bitc-h that they dont have their own month.

Does anyone aggree? shouldent we just move on?

(and im not one of those white people who bitc-h about how bad black people treat white people I'm mexican)

Why can people like Carlos Mencia Make jokes about blacks,whites,hispanics,jews or any race but he never gets in serious trouble for his jokes or really called a "racist" (im a fan of his im just wondering)

but then if a white person makes a little joke about a black person or any race they are called a racist scumbag.. I mean Why can Any other race make jokes about a other race.. except White people there the only ones that cant make jokes about other races.. but this is there country!!! and whatever happend to "free free speech"????

Why do women always take advice from other women when the question is about men?
For example.....
"What would be a good gift for a man?"
Best answer: "1.) A scarf. 2.) A watch. 3.) Cologne. 4.) A cap. 5.) A tie. 6.) Music.

Us guys answer anything to do with sports, food, movies, or sex (all correct answers by the way) and are completely overlooked.. Hmmph.

Okay when I hear about people being rapists and murderers I don't call them sickos or psychos. For some reason, I think there is more to their story than the media actually presents. I don't believe there are bad people but people who make horrible mistakes or unforgivable mistakes. I highly doubt someone would just hurt someone intentionally. I think they must have been hurt before by someone and they are seeking vengeance. Not saying that i think that is right but I'm saying that i don't think murderers and rapists are 100% evil. i think something pushed them to make that decision. does anyone else feel this way?

I grew up in Orange County where there was scarcely any blacks. Now I live in a black populated area and I feel like I stand out. people call me whitewashed. I don't feel comfortable around a lot of blacks. But I feel comfortable around Latinos and the weirdest thing is I feel like I stand out when I'm hanging out with the blacks but I don't feel that way when I'm with Hispanics. I feel weird also because I don't really like black guys so I force myself. Not that i don't like black guys but they are not my main preference. I don't even like having a preference because I feel like I'm segregating people. How can I feel more black? I feel more comfortable hanging around white guys and hispanic guys then I do with black guys. I'm actually kind of afraid of black guys. I don't want to be confused. I want to be normal. What should i do?

I told him that dividing and judging people by race/ethnicity/other irrational factors shouldn't happen because we're all just smart mammals trying to make sense of the world. But he insists.

What could I do to help change his opinion?

It's so hard for me to understand raciscm and discrimination. I know this has been said many times before but "we're all the human race", no matter what color, size, backround or religion.

im an asian and always wonder why philippines is in a poor state.
I will mention the fact that rich are corrupt and selfish and hypocrites and the poor are lazy and irresponsible for having too many kids that they can not support. I wonder why it is socially accepted for kids to turn to prostitution or nude shows for survival.... these are the facts of life in philippines and i want to information about the real roots of these problems. i dont' want to hear to generic response blaming a corrupt government. What is going on in the minds of filipinos???? AND WHEN I RAISE THIS QUESTION, WHY DO FILIPINOS ACCUSE ME OF RACISM???

ARE ALL FILIPINOS HAVE THEIR HEAD IN THE SAND OR REACT ONLY EMOTIONALLY TO THEIR PROBLEMS RATHER THAN RATIONALLY TO FIX THEM.

It seems to me that in movies our hearts are never with the people who are beautiful looking and likely to win, but instead with the people who don't have it perfect and have fallen on hard times. I was thinking while I was watching both movies "Dreamgirls" and "The Pursuit of Happyness" that while we hoped that both Jennifer Hudson and Will Smith's characters would win, in reality most people would look down on a man who was living on the streets with his child, and most people paid attention to Diana Ross instead of Florence Ballard. So why do we all have this capacity to hope that the less good looking/unlucky character wins in the movies but not in real life?

We have a 12 year old from Korea that lives with us and goes to school here in Canada. His parents and brother are coming to visit tomorrow. I'm a little nervous because they don't speak English too well. We are going out for dinner but before that they are coming to our house for about 4 hours to visit. What should I do with them? The worst part is my husband has to work for 2 of the 4 hours so I'm left with them and my 2 young kids. Any advice would help. We are really easy going casual people and I have a feeling that they are quite serious and I'm worried I may insult them somehow.
