It seems that when an African American talks about race someone is always saying'" Why should it matter?" and "You must be a racist."

My boomerang won't come back,
I've waved the thing all over the place,
Practiced till I was black in the face,
I'm a big disgrace t' the Aborigine race,
My boomerang won't back ?

I think that if a candidate running for office said that we should elect him because he was better than the rest of us, we would outright reject him, but if we were to find out that he got into a little trouble with the law when he was a young kid or that he was going through an ugly divorce, or had children out of wed-lock or that he didn't like to go to church or he watches porn or thousands of other things that he would have in common with lots of the common American, we wouldn't be comfortable with him or her. I don't think we are comfortable with the idea of a president who is just a person like the rest of us. We want him to be somehow better.

Am I wrong?

Many (not all) African Americans suffer considerably from poverty, mortality, joblessness, and a spectrum of other dynamics that seemingly holds back the race as a whole. Some manage to maneuver around obstacle and join the middle- and upper-class, though, apparently, these are a minority. Countless debilitating issues remain prevalent among the rest of the race. Though, individually, no one person is responsible, as it is a societal issue and what affects one, affects all.
What is your position?
Do you believe that, beyond principle, circumstantially individuals are responsible for their own fates, much like the minority that has managed to rise above?
Or do you feel that principle exceeds circumstance and, alone, individuals are too insignificant to undue or surmount a history of underprivilege, regardless of constantly evolving eras.

Hi, I really got a surprise the other day. I have been going to Mythology and Folklore for all things Paranormal.

Then one day this came up by accident. The heading said Alternative. Under that I saw Paranormal, all by itself just like that.

Thought I'd go in to Alternative, but all that seems to come up under that is Alternative Medicine, and some other stuff I guess.

Tried Sociey and Culture. Tried something like Cultures and Groups. Didn't find it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, of course. Danka!

"What! Do YOU not know that unrighteous persons will not inherit God’s kingdom? Do not be misled. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men kept for unnatural purposes, nor men who lie with men, nor thieves, nor greedy persons, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit God’s kingdom." -1Corinthians 6:9,10
"That is why God gave them up to disgraceful sexual appetites, for both their females changed the natural use of themselves into one contrary to nature; and likewise even the males left the natural use of the female and became violently inflamed in their lust toward one another, males with males, working what is obscene and receiving in themselves the full recompense, which was due for their error. ...
Although these know full well the righteous decree of God, that those practicing such things are deserving of death, they not only keep on doing them but also consent with those practicing them. "-Romans 1:26,27,32

All my Threads are for phsycological purposes only. I know the Answers to them all, but I like to see Public Views for my own Research of Americans, and People. Remember that.

1. I wake up in the Morning do breakfast and Send the Kid off to School.
2. Do Lots of Chores as I live 22 Miles Deep into the Forest.
3. Do Landscaping, Building, and Auto Work
4. Spend GREAT AMOUNTS OF TIME IN THE WOODS walking my Pit Bull, Rhodesian Ridgeback, and English Springer Spanniel.
5. Spend Countless Hours in the Woods for Relaxation, Privacy, Therapy, Observation, and Exercise.
6. Speed SOME when I drive because other drivers are Distracking, Careless, Hogging the Road, Weaving, Swearving, CONSTANTLY STARING AT YOU IN THE REAR VIEW WHILE SPIKING BRAKES, or Following Cops at speeds over 90mph for Fun, finding they only drive like that to just go and turn around and do it again.

7. Teach my kids some skills involving Sports, Nature, and Survival.
8. Baby-Sit other Kids
