Why don't Jewish people get the same help as other minorities in America, when they have gone through the harshest treatment? Maybe it's because it wasn't in America. any theories though (this is for a school FHAO project)

as opposed to their families nation(s) of origin. Is it due to the harsh treatment that they have historically dealt with in a Christian dominated European world?

Well, my mother and I are going to ireland in july to visit some of our family that I've never met before, and if we like it there, she is going to consider moving there. I'm in the U.S right now, I've lived here all my life, and I dont like it . I have a Black, Irish and Indian background, and everytime I talk to a mixed race girl here , some how race gets in the conversation, and since I'm not only black, they assume that I will wanna talk about how much better I am b/c of my race talk about how lucky we are that we are not all black and how light and pretty we are and how our hair is ya know and stuff like that. And I am not like that at all. Anyway, that was weird especially since I'm not light skin.
Anyway, is it like that in Ireland? Hope not! Serious answers plz!

about americans. america is a continent, not a country, united states is a country located in north america, and it is surrounded by spanish speaking countries, set aside brazil, guyana, and canada. also teach the kids in school that mexicans never came to america in a ship starving as refugees, they were already here when cristopher columbus came, they were called aztecs then, and when the mayflower brought europeans to this continent, mexicans were already here. you might brainwash everybody, but we all know the real facts .all the american countires except you know the truth, the real one, and if you want to keep your kids in denial, hey that's on you. i have my history straight, real facts, and not what others want me to believe. is been very clever of you, naming this country america, giving all a false impression that the only americans are the ones in the u.s. when it comes to history, keep your kids illiterate all you want. and no i'm not mexican, neither a sucker!

My friend has a theory that everyone is subconsiously a bigot. And I think she's right. In America, the first thing most of us do when we see a person is judge based on their appereance, even if we dont say it out loud. What do you think?

Please mature answers only. NO TROLLS.

I recently had an odd, yet interesting experience with a very aggressive, overbearing black woman who simply thought she was god's gift to men and that i should naturally be attracted to her, especially since she is black. when she realized that i wasn't kidding about not being the least bit interested in her, she asked me if i was gay. i explained to her that, gay or straight, i didn't like overbearing women with attitude and huge chips on their shoulders, regardless of their race or ethnicity. This isn't the first time i've had such an experience with a black woman, but this was a particularly annoying case. While i am black and have no qualms with dating black women, i am not at all afrocentric, and i did not grow up here in this country dealing with these sorts of racial issues. why is it such a huge deal here?

I have Hispanic neighbors who always play latino music loudly every time they have a gathering in their backyard. I don't understand if its part of their culture or they just don't care about their neighbors. I mean when I have a gathering in my backyard, I like to hear my conversations.

I'm tired of hearing about black people always on welfare. I see more young white females going to welfare now to collect food stamps for their babies. They wasn't lazy to open up their legs. and I'm a Jamaican young woman, and I'm tired of hearing that Jamaican people are selfish. I'm not that type.

i have some ideas myself, although i might be quite negative overall. over 4 years, i have used the internet, groups, and places like myspace, and i become quite disillusioned most times, yet i know the internet community has fantastic potential. incredible potential in fact. i still keep on trying and trying. sometimes i dont even know what i am actually looking for....

I got ancestors that were killed fighting for the flag, however, I get flak from people because I have the insignia of it on a ring that I wear. I have heard people say, "It represents slavery." I wonder if the same people really read about the cause of the American Civil War in any history textbook.

The civil war was started because the southern states felt like they were being ignored for political and economic growth. (seeing as the only major cities were those developed over the mason dixon line, they were right.) The majority of people that fought in the war, felt it was the only way to show the injustice being done to them. The emancipation proclimation was done after a year and a half of the war was already fought, and not as an act of equality, but because Southerns had guarnteed freedom and land to any slave that fought for their cause and the Northern states used the proclamation as a tactic to lower numbers.

So why is the flag hated again?

Would you trust a non-relative in his 80's who wanted you to provide care and do other work to keep him out of a nursing home if he promised to compensate you in his will? Or would you think this is just a scam to make you a sucker and a slave so that he can give the money he saves away to his relatives?

Yet if he lived in the ghetto and the cops put ot a description on him he'd be considered a black male.

This dosent only pertain to Obama..It goes for Halle Berry too. She was considered black when her career started but once she made it big people start identifing her as mixed race.

Its funny really...

Recently, we moved to a small town in KY where everyone knows everyone. They all go to some kind of church together and they all do about the same thing. We moved here from GA and things are really different from what I am use too. Trying to fit in around here is very hard. I have two teenagers and a toddler. My girls have adjusted well and they are in highschool and they have friends.. But I tell ya- some parents are really hard to get a long with. They dont want anything to do with someone that wasnt born and raised around here. I just dont understand what I can do to get people to know who I am. I'm not a bad person to be around. I have three children that I am constantly doing things for. These people around here are so competative that it drives me insane. Whatever happen to small-town hospitality? I live in a neighborhood that they would rather stick their noses up in the air than say HELLO? After saying all of that... how can a person make friends with these people?

arent' Oriental Asians (those of jpanese, chinese, korean, vietnamese descent) colors are really white and not yellow? And arent caucasians' real color is pink? The only caucasians who have white skin are those of spanish, irish and italian descent. I think oriental asians should be called white cos many of them are white like ivory and caucasians shoud be called pink bcos of their pinkish complexion. Whats your opinion on this? Im just an observer of things, if you dont mind.
