So many people get mad when they see a Confederate flag because they are under misconception that the Civil War started because of slavery and the South wanting to keep slavery in effect so they put the Confederate flag and slavery together. However, this is not the case. The Civil War began with taxes: the North didn't take the South seriously and began taxing the South more and more. The South caught on and began separating from the Union state by state in 1861. The idea of stopping slavery wasn't brought about until near the end of the war around 1863 or 1864 (the war ended in 1865). Although slavery was a part of the war, it certainly wasn't the main part. So why is it that when I wear a Dixie Outfitters shirt in public that has the Confederate flag on it, I get the most horrible looks? I'm just showing my Southern heritage as all the other people who wear that flag are doing. Confederate flags are even being taken away from state flags because of this misconeption! Your opinion?

One nation's Terrorist is another nation's freedom fighter.

just because a militia doesn't wear a uniform doesn't mean they are the "bad" guys in a conflict.

He had said that he is never going to date dark-skinned black women againg because they are too dark and they always have bad attitudes. And he said that he wants lighter kids. I really hate him for this because I'm darkskinned and he cheated on my mom with this white woman. I don't get it. He is Wesley Snipes complexion and he is always bad mouthing Black women. I know alot of Black men who said that they won't date bLakc women because of this.

Its always funny (and sad) when i see questions and answers that try to belittle a person just because they themselves are miserable.

They may know its not true but they say it anyway.

i love black men (other races are okay though) and i do get many stares and remarks because of this. Probably because im in shape. that goes against what some racist people say that black men like.
i write this because of an incident that happend to me yesterday.

Nowadays, it seems that whenever black people don't get something, the first thing we do is scream "racism!" Then we march and boycott and sing and all that crap....seems to me that lately, black people are always winning awards, getting promotions, and gaining political power....

To me, it's because white people are afraid we'll cry racism if we're ever denied anything...it's like they're afraid to make us lose in anything because they don't want to get sued or something...I mean...was "Hard Out There For A Pimp" really Oscar-worthy???? Or did they only win because we would've marched and boycotted.....what do you all think of this issue?

I want to date/marry a Black man that is educated like me, and comes from a middle class family. He has to be a college bound and he has to be intelllgent and funny. And he can't have any kids by any other woman, he has to be open to new things, and he has to accept me as an intelligent woman.

Why is it that blacks who have pride (yes, black, not african american, thats just stupid. If its ok to call me "white", its ok to call them black, get over it) are ok, they're "not against whites, just *for* blacks" WTF? But if I say im proud to be white, im sure gonna be called a racist? Equality means *equal*, not "equal, but lets give the minoities a little extra"

I was told in elementary school that Black people are immune to head lice. Has this ever been proven to be true, and what if a kid is only half black (half white)? would they be prone to lice or would they be immune?

I'm speaking about 1 parent is white and 1 parent is black. Like Halle Berry, Alicia Keys, Barack Obama, Mya the singer, Tia & Tamara Mowry Even Tiger Woods who's mother is Thai. Black people claim them as African Americans, Why can't white people claim them as European American ?

why is it that foreigners find Americans "distant", "less prone to making friendship", "less interested in long term friendship","detached" etc. I've been to Europe and even there, they think that way of American students and visitors. Is this "detachment" cultural of us?

Like here in England, the muslims want to build a mosque that can hold 40,000 muslims at once. All this will be done in the UK. It will be the biggest mosque built outside of the Middle East.

Do you think this is right? How would you feel if a mosque this big was built in your country?
