Quite frankly my family came to the USA in 1947 and never owned any "slaves".

Seems that some black people think so. I don't get it though. If you were in no way involved in slavery ownership, PERIOD, except for the color of your skin, reaping ZERO benefits from the slave labor, how is it that you would owe black people who were or were not the decendents of the VERY LONG dead and buried slaces?

God as my witness, it makes NO sense to me at all, NONE.

I am serious and would love to hear from the black audience.

Here is the article that prompted my question:

Just like Islam, Christianity has been the source of much killing in the world, as well as misogyny and hate of the body and sexuality. It has also fostered an Imperial mission which destroyed many lives and killed ways of life, just like the Western world thinks that Muslims are taking away their way of life. As an atheist, I think it is hypocritical the way in which Christians disregard their own history when abusing and disrespecting another religion. Why can they not accept the evils of their own religion instead of projecting the same criticisms on that of another? Shouldn't they just keep their mouths closed? And also, is the secular point of the view the only legitimate one in this debate?

I seriously don't understand this from the current happenings in UK. I read lots of blogs everyday from people based in UK and I hear about racial abuse. I don't understand one thing. UK being a country which had crucial inputs during the beginning of the industrial age from various countries, should respect people from various countries.

G'day, I'm from Melbourne, Australia.
I'm a 27yo male of indian origin and I admit that I have a preference for asian girls. I do not consider myself as having a sexual fetish but rather I am attracted to them for good reasons.
I have worked in healthcare in Melbourne's western suburbs which have a large Vietnamese and Filipino population. I have met several female colleagues of my age group from these backgrounds and I have a generally good working relationship with them; I also find many of these women friendly, down to earth and family oriented. I have tried to ask out a couple of the girls but they seem reluctant.
It seems that asian girls who date outside their own ethnic group or other asian groups date white caucasian men only. Are they just influenced by the predominant social trend?
Specifically, I'm surprised there is not more interracial dating between asians and indians given that both groups generally have a similar socio-economic status and values.
Any views?

Lately more than ever I see White men with Latin women (majority Mexican women, demographics I am sure). I hear on the a particular talk station how Mexican women are prefered over all other women. I don't see what the big deal is, I am tired of hearing the term "spicy senorita", women are women, right guys?

Why do many young blacks refer to each other by the "n" term? It is my understanding that the "n" term was a term used by whites to belittle blacks through out the centuries. Then why in modern times, after African Americans have seen great leaders such as Martin Luther King, or Malcom X, that the "n" term is still used as common language. Years of usage, and now it is deemed acceptable by young blacks today. Help me understand.

Explain this to me. Back in the 1800s, a white family owned black slaves. And then a descendent of the white family is now a ghetto white boy. This doesn't make any sense. Why do white guys try to act like the main stream population of black culture? If you are black, then acting gangster is cool, but if you are white, then you are just being a poser. And of course, not all blacks are gansters, and there are some whites who can act ganster. But most of the time it looks bad when white guys try to act ganster. Don't you think?

Why is it that when American people go to other countries and when capturing images of the culture there, they try to capture images as close to American standards?

For instance, I am from Trinidad, and I often notice articles about Trinidad carnival with images captured of very light, white or very fair skin east indian women very slim and perfect. Thing is; our culture is not like that, we often clad ourselves in scandalous clothes, with our fat bellies hanging out, and ash on our a.s.s and knees and celebrate this in great fashion. It is not an image thing for Trinidadians, but America seems to capture images that are very false and untrue. I have a friend that went over the very first time and came back and told be he didnt know there was so much diversity there. Why is that? What about all the tar black people, the vagrants that participate in the carnivals? It isn't a modeling contest.

This bugs me and I know why.

What are your views?

One thing I noticed is, Indians from Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania still consider themselves "Indians", when Indians in Somalia considers themselves SOMALIS. They speak Somali/Arabic, and they are all Muslims like other Somalis. However, Indians in these other African countries DO NOT. But only speak their languages the Swahili. I want to know more about this.

It gets tiring after awhile, and I do not know what to say besides answering them. My mother is Black, but my father is half white+Hispanic (I am just saying full Hispanic since his grandmother was Hispanic and Chinese, but he grandpa was Hispanic and Black. 1+1=2!). Anywho, I do not think that it is anyones business and race shouldn't matter anyway.

What do you call the people who were born in the USA? I mean, you call yourselves "americans", but canadians, chileans and argentinians are also american people as well as mexicans because they all were born in America which happens to be a whole continent.
Now, people from Colombia are colombians, people from Brazil, brazilians, Peru has peruvian people, but what about the USA's people? Are you United Statians?, wait, Mexico's official name is Mexican United States, so what the hell are you? Plain Gringoes?, I guess that's the name that suits you better, so, why don't you change USA for Gringoland?

White people are originally from Europe (or European related countries). Black people are originally from Africa (or African related counties). Technically, there’s no such thing as a white or black race, are these people ashamed of their original heritage or what?
