I know that the internet has given people the freedom of speech, and I know by posting out this question I will probably get a lot of nasty remarks, but I really need to ask this question.
Since I started going on this site, all I have seen is a lot of hatred against ethnic minorities but particulry blacks. Racism is wrong...very very wrong. We do not all go around playing the race card every second of the day, all are men are not in prison and we don't all think that we are owed anything because of the slave trade.
We are not lazy, we are not all thieves, every jamacian does not smoke cannabis and not every single person in Africa has AIDS.
Alot of good things have come from Black people why cant we just be appreciated as human beings, instead of an object of hatred. A man is a man, is a man. It doesnt matter what colour of skin he has, he should be treated as a human being, and treated with respect.

My neighbors girl gets bullied at her high school for not being one of the kids into music, drinking and partying. Because she'd rather do "nerdy" stuff like computer games, etc...people think she's from another planet. This seems to be a common thing these days. Have you noticed this?? Lately she's began making up stuff to tell people (i.e. saying she was at a party that didn't exist) just so people won't mock her.

I have been getting my nails done for six years. I have been to at least a dozen different salons. EVERY single salon I have been to is run by Vietnamese people. They are very nice and do a good job but I hate it when they converse with each other in front of customers in their language. They talk to each other in Vietnamese the entire time. Don't they know that is rude? I can't decide if they just don't care or they just don't realize how rude it is.

Looking around, lots and lots of people who live in the UK hate it (like myself) and would love to get out of here.
Lots and lots of people living outside the UK would murder just to get here.

I see a lot of Chinese people driving a very expensive car, Mercedes Benz, Lexus, BMW. I drive by expensive houses, most of them are owned by Chinese. I mean, what is the secret? How could they be so rich like this coming to America, with very little English (no offense) and not having a profession what so ever. Business owners? High-roller gamblers? They don't spend much? I know when I see my kind of folks driving an expensive car, oh they must be working two or three jobs. Can anyone tell me?

After all the percentage of black people's ancesters who directly profited from slavery is much higher than the percentage of white people's ancesters who directly profited from slavery.

Also, black people were enslaving their own people and other's for thousands of years before white people got involved in the trianular trade and black people are still doing it today.

Contrary to popular belief and what is taught in colleges and universities the average black person is far more likly than the average white person to have ancesters who actually indulged in the taking, abusing and buying and selling of slaves.

I say this this because in London, Bristol and Liverpool the three main UK locations where slavery was practised only a small percentage of white people were directly involved in the slave trade. In Africa at that time however, a very large percentage of black people were involved in the slave trade and many of them still are today.

Will you black people now apologise?

I've been doing a bit of research into Islam, Sharia Law, etc. and I even saw a video of a stoning that was carried out in Iran. Obviously it was deeply disturbing, but what I found to be even more disturbing is the assertion that 37% of British Muslims would like to see Sharia Law imposed here.

Now, I am sure that there are lots of angry people on this website who are going to post me a lot of abuse about how I am a racist, which is usually the case; or that the British Press is biased (compared to Al Jazeera, for example?), but I really would like to hear from some muslims who actually DO want to see Sharia Law in Britain. I would like to know WHY they would like to see it, WHY they think there is the least justification for it and WHY they live here if they feel that way?

My sources are reasonable and balanced and can be visited at the links below.

I hate to sound racist, and I don't mean it that way at all. Some of my best friends are Black, and I've even dated Black men. However, I am curious as to why some (not all, just some) Black people give their kids the strangest names?

Some examples are:
Starquisha, Shaniqua, KeShawn, Shenaqua, Ray Ray (or is that a nickname?), etc etc. You know what I mean.

Why do some Black parents do this?

I do, I LOVE dark skinned men (of African or mixed African ancestry) and black features... the hair the lips... everything!!! I also happen to be extremely attracted to the personalities of my Latino men... there's just something about Latino men I cant explain. There's also nothing better than the sound of your man's voice calling you 'MAMI'... that blows my mind! Naturally because I am attracted to dark skin, and love Latino men, my fetish/preference are Afro-Latinos like many Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Panamanians, etc.

So, what is YOURS???
