If you are african american and have curves, why isn;t that considered pretty. Why isn't haven;t dark skin considered sexy. Why can't all women be considered what they are meant to be and that is preety and sexy and vessels of worship. Have me to understand why a big nose is ugly and why a body with curves or a body with dark skin is not considered pretty.

The Jews got it. The Japanese people got. it. Should America (a former Slave holding nation) be force to keep it's promise to the Blacks that can show they were financially held back from keeping up with white who have been able to pass their wealth from one generation to the next. Money is as good as apology to the US. Would it be just plan right to give slavery effected blacks what America promised them. I would give them the equivalent of 40 acres and a Mule times 400 years, or maybe $10,000,000.00 per effected family. Or you can say they should not get one red cent for all their tears. Was America fair to its black Slaves and their ancestry?

why is it that most people i bump into believe that "goths" are into drugs...or that they are satanists or wiccans??

goth is just a stupid middle school label...where people wear black or other colors such as red, neon pink, green purples.... anything but "preppie colors" (prepp-another stupid label)..

i went through that "goth phase" for 2 years untill the end of 10th grade..+no i wasn't a drug addict or a satanist.. (i didn't/don't even believe in satan)..the only reason i went through that phase is because i was laughed at in 6th and 7th grade.. so one day before "picture day" in 8th grade i said "tomorrow i'm wearing black"..i liked it, and it was considered "scary" at my school.. i had less friends but no one made fun of me anymore...and i got used to the fassion..

goth is just a fassion statement..wearing black doesn't make you a passemist, a drug addict or possessed by demons.. for pete's sake it's just a color! suppose you wore all white..would that make you a virgin?

You may recall being taught in school that Western (white) civilization is founded upon the ancient Greek civilization that seemed to suddenly appear. What European historians are trying to hide or deny is that the Greek civilization was primarily the offspring of the advanced Black African civilization of ancient Egypt that preceded it by thousands of years. Greek legends relate that Egyptian & Phoenician conquerors ruled all or parts of Greece until the 14th or 15th century B.C.

I don't feel like a racist. I just don't don't like seeing anyone get special treatment unless they deserve it in someway. I don't get special treatment. People who have entered the country legally and become gainfully employed didn't get special treatment. Why should people who are here illegally get special treatment? I'm not sure how that opinion makes me a racist.

Penis envy in Freudian psychoanalysis refers to the supposed reaction of a girl during her psychosexual development to the realisation that she does not have a penis. Freudian thought considered this realisation a defining moment in the development of gender and sexual identity for women. When boys realise that girls do not have a penis Freudian theory claims that they develop Castration anxiety.

In contemporary culture, the term is sometimes used inexactly or metaphorically to refer to the idea that adult women wish they had a penis, or to refer to anxieties between men about the size of their genitals.

Sigmund Freud introduced the concept of a little girl's interest in—and envy of—the penis in his 1908 article, "On the Sexual Theories of Children", but did not fully develop the idea until substantially later in 1914 when his work On Narcissism was published. It was not mentioned in the first edition of Freud's earlier Three Contributions to the Theory of Sex (1905).

The term came to significance as Freud gradually refined his views of female sexuality, gradually coming to describe a mental process he believed occurred in girls as they passed through the Oedipus complex from the phallic stage to the latency stage (see Psychosexual development).

In Freud’s psychosexual development theory, the phallic stage (approximately between the ages of 3 and 5) is the first period of development in which the libidinal focus is primarily on the genital area. Prior to this stage, the libido (broadly defined by Freud as the primary motivating energy force within the mind) focuses on other physiological areas. For instance, in the oral stage, in the first 12 to 18 months of life, libidinal needs concentrate on the desire to eat, sleep, suck and bite. The theory suggests that the penis becomes the organ of principal interest to both sexes in the phallic stage. This becomes the catalyst for a series of pivotal events in psychosexual development. These events—although known as the Oedipus complex for both sexes—result in significantly different outcomes for each gender because of differences in anatomy.

For girls:

Soon after the libidinal shift to the penis, the child develops her first sexual impulses towards her mother.
The girl realises that she is physically not equipped to have a sexual relationship with her mother, as she has a clitoris and vagina, rather than a penis.
She desires a penis, and the power that it represents. This is described as penis envy. She sees the solution as obtaining her father’s penis.
The girl blames her mother for her apparent castration (what she sees as punishment by the mother for being attracted to the father) assisting a shift in the focus of her sexual impulses from her mother to her father.
She develops a sexual desire for her father.
Sexual desire for her father leads to the desire to replace, and eliminate her mother.
The girl identifies with her mother so that she might learn to mimic her, and thus replace her.
The child anticipates that both aforementioned desires will incur punishment (by the principle of lex talionis)
The girl employs the defence mechanism of displacement to shift the object of her sexual desires from her father to men in general.
The offshoot of these events, often cited in the media and colloquially, is that a girl really wants to become her mother, so that she can control her father.

A similar process occurs in boys of the same age as they pass through the phallic stage of development. The key differences being that the focus of sexual impulses need not switch from mother to father, and that the fear of castration (castration anxiety) remains. The boy desires his mother, and identifies with his father, whom he sees as having the object of his sexual impulses. Furthermore, the boy’s father, being the powerful aggressor of the family unit, is sufficiently menacing that the boy employs the defence mechanism of displacement to shift the object of his sexual desires from his mother to women in general.

Freud thought this series of events occurred prior to the development of a wider sense of sexual identity, and was required for an individual to continue to enter into his or her gender role.

While fashionable for a number of decades, the concept of penis envy is no longer regarded as a serious one by most psychoanalysts.
