Other - Cultures & Groups - February 2007

There are 24 hours in a day. 8 of those are should be spent sleeping, The other 9 are usually used for work, and the last 7 are used for commute, family, breakfast and dinner.

People working 14 hour days drive me nuts. Here we are suffering terrible societal problems partly due to parrents not being home for their kids. When you work in the 2 hours for commutes either way, there is actually precious little time left for life.

What is your take on this?

I knew a girl who said her sister married a German man and he hated it when she shaved her legs.

Is this true or another American "foreign stereotype"?

For half of the black people out there, there great grandparents weren't even from Africa. They were born in America, so why not just call them black people? they call us white...i mean really. Do you see an Italian Man saying, "You caleld me white!I'm Italian-American" if there grandparents were italian? Really,why?

In order to have Racsim to have racsim you have to have 3 things: Impostion, Idealogy, and Institutional Arrangement.
Impostion: Forceing yourself on someone or a group of people culturally, physically, and mentally which white people have done in the past.
Idealogy:A set of ideas used to justify impostion and instutional arrangement. For example Slavery. the One Drop Rule, Jim Crow, and the Anit-Miscongentation laws.
Institutional Arrangement: A system of social structure which gives an advantage to one group ove rthe other. For example, the disparty on sentencinf over crack cocaine. A crack dealer can get 10 years for dealing 3 couple of grams of cocaine will a cocaine dealer can get between 6 motnhs to a year.
Minorites can't be racist because we never had any political power in this country and we never had the head start whites have had in this country. We can't be racist because we don't have power. Remeber racism isn't words either; when somes uses slurs they are bigot.

makes me mad when I see a nice sucessful brother with a white woman. it's like a slap in the face to me because so many brothers praise white women but they talk so much trash about their sistas. I love my Black men to death but they make me so frustrated too. It seems that they don't love us anymore.This has hurt me in the past.I'n had at least 3 exes who have said that white women are better than Blacks women.Even my own father had said that he can't stand Black women and he left my mom for a white woman. This made me mad because this made me feel like he coulnd't stand me because I'm a black woman. I never forgave my father because he seems happy cattering to his white family instead of us. It's hard for me to find a man who will love for who I am because I'm at a disadvantage: I have dark skin and kinky hair. I'm tried of wishing that I was lighter and I had longer and striaghter hair. I want someone to love me for who I am, I wan tsomeone to love my dark skin and my kinky hair.

The old people (most talented people) are not respected by the society. The people who are styllish and useless are respected by the people in the society. Do you agree with me?

They mentioned a study done by a non-profit agency that say blacks were 45% percent more likely to be denied a mortgage loan than whites of equal credit.

Do I have to mention how critical home ownership is?

I dont know if this happens where I live because they wouldn't be able to sell any house (too many black people where I live)

If the banks are doing this, is it possible that any other institution are racist?

Did you ever think that they like the way their natural hair is? And for the ones who do color and straighten their hair, so what? white girls dye their hair so much they don't even know what their natural color is sometimes. Why are they allowed to change their hair, but when someone black changes their hair, they want to be white? Double standard anyone?

I could still see that the aging group in the Philippines are still a pun of their religion. The oldest woman in out country said "Love the Muslim and Christian both with no fusses nor preferences" Are the youngest generations of Muslims around the globe still love their religion the way the old Roman Catholics love (that is, being a fanatic, if that is how I see it)

Do you find it patronising when people act really overly PC around you and when ever they say something like "blackboard" they stop and make a big fuss saying "oh I hope that didn't offend you" I sit next to an indian girl in my English class, she thinks its ridiculous and wishes people would just treat her normaly instead of making a big issue out of her race and seperating her from everyone else.
