Is it wrong if a mexican call a black person the N word as friendship? What's the deal or idea about that?

Next question: Has Eminem ever used that word in any of his music? If yes, why?

I live in africa.Most communities here are controled by clans.e.g the somali community has diffrent clans.There are those who feel they are superior than the rest.In my community there is only one tribe."THE KIKUYU"but has several clans.You may happen to fall in love with sobody from a diffrent clan or tribe and the elders[people who guides the clan]may say no.Given the reasons you totaly disagree with them coz they are outdated.In this communities ther are those which are okey to intermarry,but orthers are a taboo to even think about them.The elders makes us believe tha if you marry from a blacklisted community or clan,something terrible might befall your own family or bring a curse to a community.Now when i try to figure out this i just don't get it.All i see is just mere suspicions.Furthermore our forefathers believed in casting spells and curses,but now nothing like that happens anymore.I don't know whether am wrong,but ido believe tha change is inevitable how do i change things?

I don't trust people who claims they are not racist. Nature made us all rasist people. If you know anything about biology you know that the own race is the most important, the rest you can care less about.

I'm sorry to present the facts that applies to all spieses on earth.

I think people who claim they are not racist actually are worse then Hitler when you really question them. Ask them when they are drunk and you hear racial slurs all the time.

I know you better then you do yourself! Can not fool me.

The other day I called a Internet company about their new DSL service to ask some basic questions. The customer service operator had a mid-eastern accent and spoke horible English, it was so bad that she was barley audible. I asked for a manager, who also spoke English so bad that I finally had to say "forget it" and I hung up. When I came to work the next day I was complaining to a coworker about this. I said that these companies need to hire people who can speak English, and she took offense to my position. She now seems to think that I owe her (or at least foreigners) an apology for my comments on what I said. By the way she is not a foreigner herself.

OK, this is it! I am tired as hell of the violence!! My town used to be a nice quiet little hill town and now is full of nothing but wanna be gangsta's and small time dealers who moved here to be the big fish in a small pond. And I am sick to death of a system that allows them to plead to lesser charges when they are caught and lets them off early for good behavior! I once had the pleasure of watching a couple of bastards run after I yelled at them out my window. THEY WERE BEATING THE HELL OUT OF A PREGNANT WOMAN!!!! This is a small town and we have frequent drive by's and murders. You know what? I don't want to move! This used to be a nice town, and I want it to be nice again! I want to walk to the park with my kids without mf's giving me looks because I'm white. F*UCK THEM!!!!!! I'm not taking it anymore! Are you? Or are you one of the people I would like to expel from my community?

In the majority of our society today, racism against the black cultural population is no longer an issue. Blacks and whites can hold the same jobs, attend the same schools, eat at the same lunch counters, and befriend or marry a person of another race. Blacks and whites have equal access to opportunities in education and career fields. Although there will always be some racist individuals, these facts prove that as a country, we no longer hold racist beliefs, and we no longer see racism in the vast majority of our society.


Assignment: Does racism still exist in out country, or has it been eradicated? Plan and write an essay in which you develop you point of view on this issue. You may support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading of any piece of literature we’ve read as a class during the course of the unit, including (but not limited to) the article “What Katrina Teaches Us about the Meaning of Racism” by Nils Gilman, Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, Huckleberry Finn, Frederick Douglass’s autobiography, class discussions or notes, studies, experiences, or observations, and certainly your own research. (You must discuss the novel Huckleberry Finn in your essay.)

All races have ugly and pretty. But we all honestly know that typically certain races have a higher percentage of women with a nicer specific body part than other races. For example, we all know that there is a higher percentage of black women with nice butts compared to white women. So be honest and give your rankings. Here are mine:
Butt: 1) black women 2) latina women 3) white women 4) asian women
Chest: 1) black women 2) latina and white women (tie) 3) asian women
cute face: 1) Latin women 2) white and asian women 3) black women
Sexy Eyes: 1) white women 2) asian women 3) latin women 4) black women
Sexy lips: 1) Black women 2) latin women 3) white and asian women
overall sexy face: 1) latin women 2) black and white women 3) asian women
overall shapeliness: 1) black 2) latin women 3) white women 4) asian women
Overall points (least better): latina 13, black 13, white 16, asian 21

As a young woman myself I find it hard to believe that alot of females today have an I don't care attitude when it comes to self-worth and respect. I constantly see young ladies singing these songs in which the singer or rappers are calling them bs and hos adn yet they are singing it like it was their anthem. But then they act suprised or are upset when that behavoir is directed at them. No I'm not saying this excuses the young men or men for their actions. But you pretty much say it's okay when you do things like what I mentioned above. And that is only one example. Their are many more. I would love to hear your thoughts.

I can't imagine guys saying "you're funny" to each other. But I could see that girls tend to say this more to guys. Does it mean the guy is lame? Flirting? eh?
