It dawned on me. White people are some determined people. (Im generalizing here, you got some slobs among you).

But me and my White bud were having a beer talking about race and it hit me. I black man looks up at a mountain wonders if it is possible to go there. A white person and looks at the ame mountain and say I WILL go there.

Sure, the white man may kill himself climbing, but another will come after him and give the same effort. And they keep trying until they get there. I can think f plenty of examples where white people nearly kill themselves trying to accomplish something. I used to think white people were crazy, but now I wonder.

How would you define race relations and why is it a problem?

I often hear people say that the only difference between the races is skin color. This statement shows a stunning level of ignorance about science and history. There are hundreds of scientifically provable differences between the races. These include hair texture, bone structure, muscle structure, skin thickness, hormone levels, resistence levels to certain deseases, average intelligence, etc., etc., etc. The list is too long to type out here.

In fact, a Poodle and a Doberman Pinscher are more closely related genetically than a white and black person are. This is a scientific fact, but you don't hear anyone say that the only differece between a Poodle and a Doberman Pinscher is the color of their fur. So why do people continue say this b.s. when it comes to the different human races? Does living in a fantasy world make them feel better? Or did they hear that phrase on TV and because they have no critical thinking ability, they were stupid enough to believe it?

I really hope you have an intelligent answer:

1- How do you lose your “race”? Why someone with a white mother and a black father can be only black?
2-What does the term “Caucasian” means? Is it is just a synonym for “white people” and just reserved for Northern Europeans of Gaelic, Germanics, Gallic, Anglo, Scandinavian or Slavic origin?
3-Written language and mathematics were developed in the Middle East and the region was the cradle of civilization, gunpowder and the compass (pasta too) were discovered in China, Caravels (the ships that took DaGama, Magellan and Columbus through the Atlantic that facilitated the discovery of the Americas by the Europeans) were developed in Portugal. Africa is the cradle of all humanity, and we all came from that place. The white skin color appeared due to low exposure to the sun and low consumption of vitamin D during the Ice Age. Racial superiority seems to be a myth, so why some people still think they are superior?

am serious about my inquiry...my step-father passed away yesterday and I am in charge of handling the memorial service. I would very much like to find out what the traditional spelling of his families surname means as well as if there is a family crest. Anyone out there with knowledge of German names/geneology, this question is posed to you.....I would do the research myself, but, I doubt I have the time being that the funeral will take place within the week. Please help....it would make the passing of my step-father a more joyous one to be able to pass on to his children/grandchildren something that would be precious, as he was to all of us.

Now he stands to be deported (please see my earlier Q) Also why does out Government take such a strong stance against immigrating Brits and the US ? When if anyone has a right to move here and marry into our society surely its them ! Why will they bend over backwards to accomodate unskilled less desirables coming here, who know nothing of our society and have no intentions of assimilating within us ?

Maybe they are the same.
Since you guys are educated about what a "red neck" is now, how does this compare to your term of a "Chav"?
Are they the same?

Lot's of people criticize as Arabics as just a group, all arabics are different.

The funny thing is arabics have different-languages, like labanese, iran...etc.

And it is very very true that people in the arab country's treat their wife like peice's of shet. :]

But not all of them, most of them in america that can speak fluently and are just nice are very romantic because they don't want to tap and run like some people would do.

-I'm an arabic and im proud, i hope that my girlifrned, wife will betreated with all my respect and all my love. :]-

What do you think? :P people group races too much, like all [race] do the same thing

Why did our government put native americans on reservations?They were here long before us.Are they
allowed off their reservations to go in to town to shop etc.
Do they go to public school with other kids or does the
reservations have their own school?Do the indians leave
their reservations to go to work or are most on welfare?
Any websites about life on a indian reservation?
From what I understand is it true that most Indians dislike
the white man?

this was not true in 1991. I did my research. But you know if you say something long enough eventually it becomes true. Such is the case. The latest data that I could find says there are about 700,000 black males in jails AND prison. and about 600,000 in college. (now this includes jail, which are just people who couldn't make bond) I think if you only include only prison then we college boys might be a little ahead but its a dead heat.

Whats interesting as that the rate of Blacks going to college has actually increased since 1991, but unfortunately the rate of black males getting locked up has increased at a faster rate.

Something is amiss. What do we do?

This is a bit confusing. My mother is Black, but red hair tends to run in the family. Her half brother (the product of her father and step-mother) has red hair and freckles, and her brother had red hair (it turned black when he was in his 20's). Why would my mother's family have red hair when they are Black? My hair also tends to look reddish-brown and I have freckles, but I got the freckles from my father.
