Well, beats working, huh? These thugs who robbed a church recently during a service have reached a new low. We hear the RACE card played constantly and we're walking on eggshells not to offend our blacks bruthas.

When I see things like this on the news...forget PC. White or black - uneducated thugs who would stoop to something like this because they say 'whitey been bad to us' - I'm sick of it. It's just an excuse to continue to ruin America. Bill Cosby...keep it up. They won't listen to you because you tell the truth and try to make blacks own up to responsibility. But then they'd have to actually work for a living.

Our truly educated black leaders are accused of 'acting white'. No, they have a sense that we are all supposed to be one and they strive for the good of the nation.

Any thoughts?

Have you ever heard the saying S/He was drunk as Cuda Brown? Or S/He was high as Cuda Brown? So just who are people talking about when they used that saying?

It seems that they're doing their best to keep people out of the USA.But I don't think isolation is a possible remedy.It's a shame it's so damn tough to come there.

My entire family knows how to drive under intoxication.We have taught each other how to. Many people can learn to. After they complete the testing, they will get a drunk driver license. Whenever a pig pulls them over,all they have to do is flash their ddl,and get away free. Does this sound good to you guys.

I just moved from Mexico 1 year ago, I am not illegal, I am well educated (I have a university degree that unfortunatelly not all mexicans have the opportunity to have) and most importantly I am good hearted as most people in Mexico.
I know this is a tense time between Mexico and the US because of all the illegal immigration and I am worried of prejudice and racism against me.
With racism I dont mean something that could lead to physical violence (which hopefully will never ocurr) , but in the everyday life interactions I am afriad of a more subtle way of racism which is being ignored, taken for granted, not beign included, not beign looked in the eyes, etc. all those things that imply "you are not part of us" "you are not important" "your are different therfore I dont want to know you or be part of your life" etc.
Am I worrying to much? Or should I already prepare myself emotionally and mentally for constant rejection?

okay here me out first. i was reading a comment left by a member that said that blacks commit 90% of all crimes so i had to check it out. what i found was that it has been reported that we supposedly do commit 90% of interracial crime. but that in fact is not completely true. for those of you who don't live in the "ghetto" or lower-class neighborhoods please takae a trip there. don't worry you won't have to stay long if your scared. but seriously, look at who owns the stores, gas sations, the really nice homes (or the better homes in the area) and the nice cars that blacks steal. the answer whites do. its not that they are purposely targeted to have a crime commited against them it is that what the black criminal is trying to obtain just so happens to be owned by the white man. how many black owned businesses do you see in the hood. once we become a little established we move because we relize that we will not acheive a high level of success of we stay in the hood.

They don't have to shout their good deeds from the rooftops but it seems like no one involved will tell you squat about what they do which causes speculation.

I don't mean to be racist (I am not a White person anyway) but the non-white races don't seem to try hard enough to invent/discover solutions to their problems OR to be able to police themselves. The talk is always about their past glory and how they are not being treated with 'respect'.

Today in a class we discussed discrimination etc, i bought up the subject of the town i live in as there is a big cultural divide between 2 main cultures, i commented that whenever there is a crime against one side (not obviously racially motivated for example a smashed window became a racial incident once despite no evidence of it having anything to do with race!) it is ALWAYS assumed in local papers that the white british are responsible! never the other way around tho!!
I was then more or less accused of being a white supremist by my tutor! and there were alot of raised eyebrows! i was so annoyed as this was not what i was saying at all, i was simply stating a fact!
is this PC gone mad? or was i in the wrong? anyone else had similar experiences!

If I saw someone that was pure black or white they would probably look strange to me. I think I'm pinkish-beige.

What is this mindset of being white or black anyways?

I'm quite shocked on the number of questions that point only negative people who happen to be Black. Some claim not to be racist, but only focusing on race is racism to me. When are people going to realize that color is just a color and a murderer and criminal can be white, black, brown or whatever. Instead of complaining about a "race" shouldn't we learn how to fight the solution and not be part of the problem?

When the Ali G character first came out, most people seemed to think that the joke was about a white guy who was trying to be black> How many white or black guys do you know called ali, not many I bet, however Ali is well known to be a muslim name and the joke was infact about british muslims who act black, not whites. Nobody picked up on this even though the character was called Ali. Then we get Borat also a muslim character. Ive heard the argument that the joke is on america, but come on, if this was an african country being made fun of and not a muslim country being targated, for so called humor, would it not have rang racist alarm bells. Why is a Jewish comedian allowed to get away with blatant racism???? I am catholic as it happens so I am not bias in any way, I think this kind of bigotry is unacceptable in this day and age and whats worse its getting huge media hype, it should be banned, there is enough tension and hate already.

If so, say why you want to leave.
My reasons are social/political. And I only have 888 characters left to work with, so I won't go into detail.

Why do black people blame their problems on white people when they bring most of it on themselves? Sure, a long time ago black people were brought over to America and used as slaves, but they sure like to forget that it was other black people who sold them as slaves. They should be at least thankful that their forefathers suffered through hell, and now they are living in America where they have oppertunities to be something besides a bush dwelling, spear throwing savage. Why do black people say the white man keeps them down, when black on black crime is such a huge problem. Why is it that black people will complain about things that happened to their kind 200 years ago? You don't see the Jews moaning and griping about stuff that happened to them a mear 60 years ago, they just take their problems wit a grain of salt and continue to prosper, whereas blacks just complain about things and never attempt to make a difference. When are they going to get over it? I am not trying to be rude.
