I think she is amazing. To have done so well, inspite of the disadvantages she had growing up as a black woman.I admire her.

Mind you I don't agree with her policy on the Middle east as of now though. Nevertheless I admire her.

Why do women complain so much about the toilet seat being left up? I mean we don´t complain about it being down, we have tu put it up, and you have to put it down, what´s the big deal?

We have to put it up, otherwise, some drops will en up on the seat, then you will com to seat on a wet seat, do you prefer that?

I heard that it's because it's not nice to sit down on the toilet with the seat up. Really? I mean how dumb you have to be, to sit without looking? What if the seat cover was down too? Do you just pee all over the cover?

my sis is learning about muslim/arab history and she told me about this hurrifying film she watched in the class. in it, there was this holiday where everyone was on the streets, and they were screaming "allah" and cut themselves! and not little cuts.. big ones on their heads, and blood went all over their face! and they did this to little kids too! and babies!...maybe holiday was meant to show that they would kill for allah.

++in schools, little kids painted israeli and american flags and stepped on them as they went out of class. the girls had to cover up and were seporated from girls, and the girls said it is their duty to continue the muslim faith...

well i don't mean to offend you guys, and i don't hate, but it makes me sad. how people grow up to hate. i grew up in israel and israelis are not bad people. for years we had muslims up north and we live in peace. the evacuation from aza was to make muslims happy. the US is nice too. it helps poor countries (+arab).

Why do people hate white people who 'act black' or black people that 'act white'

If a white person loves hip hop and the lifestyle, why are they called wiggers. If a black person likes rock or DOESN'T like hip hop, reggae, etc why are they called coconuts (brown on outside, white on the inside)

I don't understand why you have to like what your own race like and get abused if you like something or a lifestyle from another culture.

I don't in what race do I belong because mostly everyone in my family has blue or green eyes with blonde or brown hair. Most people from Mexico are darker and shorter than the people from spain.Spanish is latin, but it's european at the same time.

1. That there are more majority white colleges in the US than majority black ones?

2. That whites are more than free to attend majority black colleges, they are not “black only”?

3. That BET was created in response to MTV (which at the time only showed white people and “white” music) and is now owned by white people, so is NOT for blacks, by blacks?

4. NAACP was for ALL colored people, at a time when none had rights?

5. Affirmative Action states that NONE be judge on their race, ethnicity, gender or sexual preference? It is NOT unqualified people “taking” others’ spots? That if a student gets into a college that they are not “qualified” for, they will have to drop out?

To me, (1) racism is racism, and (2) racism towards whites would be like some cultures assuming a “wide eyes” is wicked and ignorant. Or a white person going into a bad neighborhood and getting shot, just because they were white and the person hated them, without even knowing their name.

Okay.... So After the MLK holiday, so far all I've heard was "Martin Luther King saved our lives....What our poor ancestors were put through by white people"....blah blah blah.... But how come Abraham Lincoln is NEVER spoken of or praised by "black" people? Do they not want to recognize that a WHITE man is the one that stopped slavery? MLK did not FREE slaves, he just spoke up for black people, which is an awesome thing, he made a great impact on the way black people live today, but if it wasn't for WHITE Abe Lincoln, they might still be slaves to this day. Also, How is it NOT racisit for there to be a black only college, black month, tv channel,etc. but if whites did, it would be racisit? What if us "crackers" say "Hey! They have their only college, why can't we?" How would that be any different?

Came onto this thinking its a good way to get real answerer then I saw it as a laugh after reading a few q and a then there is the race issues.
This is a deep issue and should be dealt with correctly if you really want to know why don't you speak to someone of another faith or race in a face to face discussion as doing it like this can do more harm than good as I have seen a few very insulting q and some even worse answers from people who are to scared to say thing to my face or anyone's face for that matter.

"How do I get to the other side?"

The second woman thinks for a moment and replies,

"You ARE on the other side!"

Do do consider steryotypes like Italians are mobsters or Irish are heavy drinkers, whites can't dance, jews are cheap, blacks always have fancy rims etc. to be racist. I think it is all in good humour.

My dad prefers a son to a daughter. Unfortunately, I am a girl and at times, my dad blames my failures on my gender. He thinks that boys are generally smarter and more hardworking than girls even though I have A's for most of my subjects. This makes me extremely angry and frustrated. What's so important about the family surname? A daughter could also carry on the family's surname!


I have also heard stories about people aborting their unborn daughters. For example, India and China.

In China, due to the one-child policy, many aborted their unborn daughters so that they could have a boy in the future.

So tell me, do chauvinlistic people still exist in Asia?

However, I am proud to be a girl.
