for slavery. why are african-americans doing this when slavery has been over with for 100+ years. i had nothing to do with it and i don't treat these people any different then anyone else.

also, where is jesse jackson and al sharpton when there is a black on white crime?

why is it that black people can have an all black tv channel, music channel etc, same as other specific groups, but if white people do it, we are considered racist?

i know this question will probably bring out some stupidity in people, but i am sincere in what i am asking. i'm trying to understand when previous apologies and reparations for something that has been over with for over 100 years will be enough. not all white people hate black people and vice versa.

thanks for your time.

why is it that people of other races sometimes have a problem with BET and other black tv shows. does anyone not realize that almost all of the shows on tv are geared towards whites and white audiences. It is quite obvious that AMERICANS are truly not treated equally by fellow '"AMERICANS" , if it were so then there would be more tv shows with races of all colors on all of the times. is there any black or chinese soap operas. not that i know of. SO WHY DO PEOPLE GET UPSET BECAUSE BLACKS HAVE BET AND A FEW OTHER THINGS FOR BLACK PEOPLE. IF NOT THERE WOULD REALLY BE NOTHING FOR ANYONE EXCEPT THE WHITE RACE. THERE SHOULD BE SHOWS FOR ALL AUDIENCES, SINCE THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE THE GREAT MELTING POT!

Is the whole world trying to decieve us out of jelousy and envy. The whole world seems to hate us but every body copy us. People around the world wear braids, twist,cornrows, tan their skin, curl and make their hair kinky, date and marry the black man and woman and have nappy head kids by us. Also listen to our music and sing like us,dance like us, read our history and culture, watch,us, love talkin about us and pretend to be as deep, loving and good natured as we are. Whats up with that.

A friend and I did a survey once at Wal Mart. We just approached people and asked this question. Surprizingly people responded. What do you think?

The Altanta Braves, The Cleveland Indians, Red Man chewing tobacco, etc. Why not the San Francisco Chinese, or the Mississippi Slaves. I know I'm only a simpleton but this is such a double standard.

Hispanic women, do Hispanic guys treat you well?

White women, do White guys treat you well?

Black women, do Black guys treat you well?

Asian women, do Asian guys treat you well?

I'm just curious cause I'm not American but from looking at Yahoo answers there seems to be a lot of anger between the two sides.

Everybody seems to want to look European these days. Black women are looking more white lately. Is that a good thing or a bad thing? No, I am not a racist, just a curious white boy.

i am really confused about this word. i see african americans in my community call eachother that everyday. this doesnt seem to bother them but when a white person calls them that its different, it's seen as an offence. i was just wondering peoples opinions on this topic. do you think its right? or is it wrong?

Either you are Mexican or Hispanic to answer this question or found some online source to back up your claim. I am interested in dating a Mexican/Hispanic but don't want to be with someone who is fluent in Spanish. I am curious what percentage of Los Angeles Hispanics speak Spanish. If you can give a online source you'll probably get the best answer choice. Also, any stupid responses will be flagged. Thank you.

ive just been noticing how racist everyone is, at my school, on yahoo answers, and in the larger community. alot of people think that because im white im automatically racist. im really really tired of this stereotype. i over heard someone in my class talking about the black eyed peas, one girl said she likes fergie and then another girl said, but shes white. im constantly lectured on my bus by a couple of boys saying directly to me you took away our jobs or you dont pay us enouph. they even asked my why winter is so WHITE. i do not make up that majoritie. i want to be different. even though people think rascism isnt such a big deal anymore we have segrogated ourselves. people still dont get that there's one race, human. what do you think?

I have been dating this guy for 1 year and 6 months... he has cheated on me in the past and I broke up with him for about 1 month because of it, but I forgave him. Now I have cheated on him and he has found out about it he says he forgives me but I dont believe him, so yesterday I go 2 check my email and there is a pic of my man and the female he cheated with me all hugged up.. I can tell its recent because of his hair in the pic..so when i go 2 him about it he says they were around alot of people and they jus met up there. I kno better than that but now I feel as if she is who he wants to be with but i also dont want 2 be wrong about it either .. so should i say goodbye
