She wasn't! Hattie McDaniel was the first Black person and woman to ever win one. She won it back in 1939 for her role in "Gone with the Wind"

Apparently, south/east Kentucky is known as the "distress zone" of the U.S...poverty is most abundant there. Kentucky has the most amount of smokers percentage wise. It's the home of fried chicken, horses, tobacco, bourbon, bluegrass music and many other things. It is part of the bible belt. Has the largest flea market in the U.S. It's total population is 4,041,769 compared to Georgia's 9,363,94. And, demographics show that it has the highest percentage of "white" people than any other state....I don't really know why that is though. And most of the state is rural..also, if you go to get married they ask you if you are cousins. They actually had to pass a law against it.....does that mean that it happened a few times?

Those are a few statistics......then, you have the people! lol, but I love it here anyway...

I am a librarian and in case you haven't been to a library lately, there are many really hot looking librarians around.
where did this stereotype come from and why can't people believe that librarians could be hot women who like sex and are not ALL genius bookworms who dress ugly and live alone with their cats?

I've never gone a date before and I think it's about time for me to start dating. Problem is, I just turned 19 so not too many places that I can get into, being that I'm attracted to a Man that's 2-5 years older than me. I have no clue on proper dating etiquette, meaning how to look like a mature female w/o trying to hard. I'm always so impressed when I see a Lady dressed beautifully but naturally being escorted by a well dressed Gentleman. It makes me feel like something is missing in my life. I know this is a completely random question, but I would love some advice from Men and Women from all over the world. I want to know how to properly mingle w/ a mate face to face w/o being overly talkative or awkward. And I'm into dating outside of my Race as well as my own race (I'm a Black Female), so advice on interracial dating would be greatly appreciated as well. Thanks!!!!

For example:
Katie Morgan

Wikipedia: "She claims to have a genius IQ according to internet tests."

Eve Laurence

Wikipedia: "Eve has a self-proclaimed IQ of 142 and when she first came into the Adult Film Industry she claimed to only be in porn for the popularity, not the sex."

And there are many more.

Hitler ordered the burning of the Reichstag, and then denounced it as a terrorist attack in order to frighten the German people into giving him the power of dictatorship, and thus plunged Germany into a self destructive war for his own twisted idea of killing off the Jews. If the people of Germany were confronted with the evidence that this was an inside job (and I assume many were) Did they react the same way that the ultra right wing conservatives do when confronted with evidence that Bush at least had prior knowlage if not responsibility for the "terrorist" attacks of 911.

didn't even graduate High School. I constantly feel as though I don't have what it takes to be successful in life. I feel like I am running out of time to get married and have children. I am 24. What do you think? Am I running out of time for any of this?

If his Majesty the Rev., Dr., Lt. Col., Martin Luther King Jr. Esq. were alive today wouldn't he be ashamed of the state of the black community. Colored people running around having umpteen babies all by different daddies. "Brothas" selling drugs and refusing to work for a living, wouldn't he consider this more of a nightmare than a dream? wouldn't he tell you people to get your act together?

Thanksgiving is about the help European colonists got from the Native americans and America has many backgrounds here from all over the world.so why do some people get racist and say "i'm from here and go home" to newer newcomers? it's just years apart from family coming to this country and settling than others.

What I mean is, isn't it dumb to say that we are all the same, when we so obviously are not??? Sure we should all have the same rights and freedoms, no doubt. BUT how come when you point out the differences in people of different colors/cultures that live in America you are considered or called a rascist???? I THOUGHT RACISM WAS HATE FOR ANOTHER RACE!!!!!

Sorry, but PLEASE no jokes. I'm not good at telling sarcasm on the computer.

like i mean, u can be born there, have its blood, but dont like it, like ur not accepted, u think thats not ur place, but u were born in there,

so, my question is, u could be born in usa, mexico, puerto rico, europe, china or w/e, but u dont belong there, could there be a missunderstanding on were you were born, and where were you supossed to be born? like you belong to somewhere else?

i was watching clerks two one day and the black couple got offended because he said the word porch monkey. i'm african american myself but i didn't know that term was a racial slur. i thought it meant someone who was lazy or just sits on thier porch most of time. i think it's stupid, that term shouldn't even be in the category for offensive words. i think people pay too much attention to these words and give them power and why is it referred to just black people? sooner or later we cant say anything without someone getting angry and wanting to fight. just like the n word, i don't like that word myself but i don't get all crazy and want to beat somebody up just because they say it. i'm not just talking about black people but all ethnicities because i'm quite sure every race has a racial slur. dont let the word control you, you control the word. (that last part sounded kind of lame but i had to find a way to end it)

I'm a white 37 year old male living in england. The vast majority of my neighbours are asian. The local pubs are asian owned.I have sincerely tried to socialise with the guys but they dont want to know and the girls are strictly off limits.I have heard them calling me "gura" whatever that means.I am also constantly overcharged for my shopping...so is this racism I'm suffering here because I am so alienated?
