i saw on CNN how black kids are discriminated against by other black kids if they dont speak ebonics or if they study hard and wear pants that fit.and to my amazement,the CNN reporter almost sounded like it was somehow white peoples fault this is happening.all i hear is how white people oppress blacks but all i SEE is lazy blacks oppressing themselves.my question is,WHEN WILL BLKS DROP THE CRUTCH AND STAND ON THEIR OWN TWO FEET?

Forgive me for making a blanket generalization.

But I notice that white people (forgive me again) follow rules no matter how stupid or illogical it is (with the exception of breaking the law to get rich, white people WILL do that). and they are always the first ones to snitch. Why is that?


ex: So I wore courdouroy pants to work, and some white guy (who is not my boss) comes up to me and ask "are those jeans"
What business of it was his? Why do only white people do stuff like this? (again forgive my blanket generalization, but PC is just too complicated)

we we're to put on a miss white whatever pagent.. i mean in my town we have a miss black _______ pagent. i am tired of having to give special treatment to them because people who lived 100 years ago and more made slaves out of them. i never did it!!! none of my family members ( past or present ) ever owned slaves. in fact some of them sold themselves as indentured servants just so that they could come to this country.(i.e. slaves) i realy do not believe racialism exist any more in the civilized world except thiers for the white comunity. i realy just do not understand why we all cann't just forget about skin color and just pay attention to who the person is not what they are..

every summer, i see a lot of young people (in particular) hanging outside of the doors of bars stone cold drunk. every day, walking down the street, i see people that are either "obese," "fat," "overweight," or not thin, athletic, or what some refer to as "average."

what is "average" weight anyhow? is it the type you see on tv commercials and on billboards? or is that sort considered as "fit," "athletic," or, in the case of women, "thin?"

what do you--especially men (please convey your age group)--think is worse? do you think it's worse if your girlfriend or wife is:

drunk? or

overweight? or

fat? or

obese? or

skinny? or

anorexic? or

drinks a lot?

is there anyone out there that thinks it is better that a person be overweight than being drunk? or drinking too much? or drinking too often?

which is worse: overdrinking / drunkenness or overweight?

why?

please state your sex and age group when you answer.

I was watching an Anthropology video for my college class @ home & they pointed it out in the video that the 2 middle school boys were going to school w/talcum powder on their faces, but not the reason why they were doing so.

I'm a 25 yr old black women and I have been attracted to white guys /celebrities and think some or fine. But when it comes down to actually being with one I feel it's disgusting. I actually tried once with one but couldn't go through with it,I actually got disgusted when he touched me. does that make me a racist.

Isn't that why most Liberals or people who accepts all kinds of lifestyle, either gay marriage or gays adopting kids, or wild sex or whatever you can think of with no morals?

Most racists and narrowed mindedness such as stopping the advance medicine all happen to be Conservatives or the Republicans. Isn't that right?

I'm a caucasian woman with an 8yo daughter. When she talks about friends at school, people she sees, on tv, etc who happen to be African American, she calls them "brown". (She doesn't mean it in a derogatory sense, she will say, "There's a new girl in my class and she has brown skin and long black hair") For instance, today she bought a new African Amer. baby doll. She stated she wanted a "brown" doll because she thinks the skin looks prettier when its brown. I teach her that they call that African American doll or Black doll.. She argues with me and says that it's not black, its brown. lol My question is, I'm worried if Afr. Americans would take offense to my daughter saying "brown" ? For the record, she calls caucasians "pink" lol. Thanks for your responses! : )

Like for instance if I were to say

There once was a yahoo user who goes around and never really answers anyones questions but in every post slams their grammar would have a "Maya" Princess complex.

I'm just saying is this language 101 or
Yahoo answers?

Would the fact that I spelled Mayan wrong be soooooooooo bad?

There is never any negative response when an asian, hispanic or east indian date or marry a white male or female but there always some kind of negative reaction when it is especially a black female and a white male.
