I do have my own view of what an emo is, and no i don't dislike them. But there seems to be so many misconceptions, stereotypes and hate groups for emo's. So what do you think?

I do, and this has to do with many factors like education,behavior,good manners,tastes in music,clothing,etc,etc, language,vocabulary. just think about the French or the English for example who really believe that they are better than others.

Over the last 23 years I have found myself being constantly told that I talk like a white person or am perceived to want to be white. I am just curious as to how it is that white people speak that is so different from black people. Essentially if we are American shouldn't we all speak English with one accent or another depending on what region one is from.

I think it started with the Celts. Then came the Angles, Saxons, Jutes, Franks, the Norse and finally, the Normans. Since then, we have received many more but in smaller numbers, such as Huguenots, Jews and Walloons, to name a few. In the 20th century, there were Asian, African and East European waves. I think that this has added to our culture no-end and as a result, has made the UK one of the most diverse countries in Europe.

White people are white because they lack cutaneous melanin. But for most white people the have the normal amounts of melanin in their organs. Does that mean they are really Black on the inside.

I was walking to the cafeteria, and I noticed a young man in a wheelchair struggling to push himself up a hill. I know people who are wheelchair bound like to be independent. But I didn’t want to pass him without offering my help... I would have been glad to help, but he said, "No, I'm fine... thanks". I just didn’t want to offend him, by passing and I didn’t want to offend him by asking. And I try not to treat them differently but if I see anybody struggling I want to help. Do you think I may have offended him?
