This stupid yahoo user by name"presariomario"has been posting several rude and nasty comments about black people. Just recently he posted a topic, "is the black violence spreading into your community" when he knows very well that he's just some dumb idiot making up malicious lies about black poeple for no reason. I advise everyone to check out his that topic and see what kind of lowlife he is. Why would he be doing something like that???

I see comments like "American accents are nasal" or "they overpronounce their rs" and"they sound stupid". I am just curious of how the American accent sounds to others without the insults. I will focus on the accent news reporters speak in, because I speak with the same accent. And I would also like to point out that as much as I like English accents, most of them sound as if they have something in their mouth. Seriously. I tried speaking in my normal accent with my fingers in my mouth, and it sounded kind of British. Just an observation, no worries!!!

I've heard this stereotype from a lot of different people. I understand that some do have extremely bad attitudes, but why do people assume that all Black women do? I'm sure these same people have encountered women of other ethnicites who display similar attitudes.

TOKYO - Japan has returned to using the prewar name for the island of Iwo Jima — site of one of World War II's most horrific battles — at the urging of its original inhabitants, who want to reclaim an identity they say has been hijacked by high-profile movies like Clint Eastwood's "Letters from Iwo Jima."

The new name, Iwo To, was adopted Monday by the Japanese Geographical Survey Institute in consultation with Japan's coast guard.

DNA testing has shown that Ashkenazi Jews are ethnically Middle Eastern. So why do they look so much more like Northern Europeans than do Sephardic Jews and other Middle Easterners?

I've come across A LOT of comments on Black women's hair. I'm a Black woman so I'm going to speak on it and would appreciate feedback from people, Black, White, or otherwise.

Point blank, we live in a country that tells us that the standard of beauty is Eurocentric. Many people of color, grow up thinking their brown skin or kinky hair is "unmanageable," "un professional," "ugly." They believe this because WAY back in slavery times, this was put in the head of our ancestors. Then, a Black woman invented the perm so Black women (and men back then) could "manage" their unruly hair.

Unfortunately, many sisters still believe this myth, that natural hair is unattractive, hard to manage and can't be worn at work. These are all lies. The brainwashing has been passed down from generation to generation. If you want to perm your hair, fine more power to you, but do it cause you want to, not to rationalize by saying otherwise your "nappy" hair can't be managed cause thats bullsh*t.

Condeleza Rice (secratary of defense), Colin Powell (former secratary of defense), Thurgood Marshall (former supreme court justice and great lawyer), Cornell West (Princeton professor), Oprah Winfrey (Talk show host) , Barack Obama (US senator), Kwame Kilpatrick (Youngest mayor ever of a large city Detroit), Iyanla Vinsant (Self help guru and arthur)

If this myth is sooo true how did all of these people get to there stature. There are many more examples of people with ethnic names I could have given but these few totally proves my point. Besides you should not want to be employed by people who judge you for your name because they are very small minded.

So I'm an Asian male from Memphis, TN, and it's been a bumpy road looking for happiness. I've often felt like an outcast in this city...like I don't really belong. Memphis, is about 50/50 Black and White...other minorities are scarce. In addition, it's a very conservative place (in the suburbs) and a more liberal place (in the city)..which means race relations suck and people of differing race and political views mostly live in separate spheres of the city. It seems like most people (despite the fact that I was born here) think I'm a foreigner. Well, I went to college around Philadelphia, thinking I would be happy there. Wrong. My college years were really tumultuous and painful. The diversity part was fine (and a nice change), but I still found myself unhappy for a number of reasons. Now I'm moving out to LA for a job...and I just want to be happy. I feel like I keep moving places, thinking things will be different. How can I be happy? I don't want to be disappointed again.
