This guy more or less just compared blacks and Retarded people as the same.. Read the question and you will see. This is a Democrat / Liberal person, which is the same group of people who say that conservatives and Republicans are Racist... this is racist if i've ever seen racism.. wouldn't you say?

No I'm not generalizing people, but I do notice that some white people want to look black (tanned skin, collogen lips, butt implants); black people want to look white (chemically straghten hair, nose jobs, bleaching their skin); asians want to look white (plastic surgery on their eyes to make their eye lids look heavier, to resemble a white persons eyes). What are your thoughts?

i dont think it is.
i think iraq has a government
and people need to deal with it.
americans should help the people help themselves/
1. the allies must leave.
2. the americans shud invest the "WAR ON TERROR" money to buy supplies, boots, and other essential materials for the iraqi government police and troops. they are poorly equipped to face the malitia. if americans spent the (crazy amount of money on the iraqis police well being..maybe even 1/4 of the OUTRAGEOUS MONEY AMERICA IS SPENDINF ON THE WAR WHEN THERE ARE PEOPLE DYING IN THE F****** STREETS, PEOPLE DYING OF STARVATION, SERIAL KILLERS LOOSE, AND REAL "GENOCIDES" HAPPENING!

MONEY BUYS POWER> AND CONTROL EH.

those are the exact words the a radio host referred to those black girls on the rutgers basketball team. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070407/ap_en_ce/imus_apology

now black people want this guy fired. i think those words are funny and not offensive at all. I have heard so many black guys' call black girls those words many times before.

say is where you hide drugs and all sorts of illegal contraband in and tell them to blow off and say to them they cant even cut your hair and they dont seat cause they are ...
can they?

I recall once they use to round up every man with hair below the showlder and shave their hair all off, I remember it was a campaign with posters nationwide saying make america beautifull, get a haircut and many police saw it was enforced.
I think the good ole days was better, at least we had some fun sporting at things.

Let's face it, most Black smokers like menthol cigarettes. Why is that? I'm a Black smoker, but I like Marlboros....I know that all cigarettes are hazardous, but I eschew menthol smokes because they contain small amounts of fiber glass (in addition to the bad stuff that all smokes contain).

On a side note, it seems like most of the White people who like menthol cigarettes are White females with Black boyfriends (not that there is anything wrong with that).

The people claiming that there is only one race often put the label racist on others. But how can one be a racist if there is only one race?

I hear it all the time. Black men love Asian Women. What is it that draws them so much? Or is it just a myth?

No racist answers. It's unnecessary and a waste of time. I need honest answers.
