Hello. I'm a Greek-Canadian guy who was born and raised in Greece. In less that a year I'm getting back to Canada so I'm kind of concerned of what should i look like to the majority of people. My father told me that back to his days there was a lot of racism but i think that the social status of Canada was more raw than now
cause it was an emigration period for the country.
PS. I've got a Greek name too.

Hi there.

Background:
============
Dad's purely black (mixed of African & Carribean)- with his deep-black skin colour. Mom's Chinese and from Asian country. Mom is older than Dad.

I understand the child will be 50% black and 50% Chinese but my concern is how the child would look like?

Will Dad's black genes be strong that the offspring will be black?

I'll appreciate the pics too.

P/S: Tiger Woods's 1/4 Chinese, 1/4 Thai, 1/4 African, 1/8 Native American, and 1/8 Dutch. Thus, he's not considered an offspring of pure black and Chinese.

P/P/S: No racist remarks, please. Thks!~

What if the aliens feel that they're so smarter than us that they could kill us at will without a second thought like we do bugs.
I stopped an ant infestation by continuously attracting them with food and killing them when they came out, should i feel guilty?
Would any animal let you in his dwelling?
If it is wrong to kill bugs how do we reconcile with shoes, belts, hot dogs, meat lovers pizzas, laundry detergent, pork chops, scrambled eggs, footballs as all these things are made from dead animals? Hmm.

When I say whites, I mean - assimilated, americanized whites.

Not Irish, German,
Just American, good ole' pilgrims.

I am asking this because, isn't it kind of messed up.

Native Americans, Blacks, Japanese, Irish, Jews, Chinese, Mexicans...

I'd name more but well..
too many to count, right?

And this question is by no means racist or against anyone. It's a general question me and friends are debating. Or its a realization, a contemplation.

And even if it is, or isn't true- why do you think that cultures have been so much persecuted in different ways?

When the Native Americans were sent to reservations,
when the Japanese were placed in re-location camps? Segregation with the blacks? Another question is, why do you think those events happened?

Another question: Are these things carried on today in small ways?

It's just a question that I want to find the answer. Not a debate. I'm only 16, I have to learn these things someway.

I've read the most dumbest questions that associated the dark skin to jealousy, lack of eduacation, ignorance, etc. Why is everybody bashing not only blacks but minorities.

I was watching Linkin Park's music video "What I've Done". Between the 1:53-1:55 mins, first, it was a burning cross and followed by some men that wore white mask. I think it's related to the Christian in the past. This scene was even been cut in my country, can anyone explain what's that?

I've heard the saying "There are no stupid questions" from my teachers in the past but people can sometimes be rather foolish. So...what's the dumbest, most idiotic question you've come across?

towards them is it not only how you were raised but something that is supposed to be inferior to yourself, and does it also stem from jealousy?

So I slept with this white girl (yes I know its becoming a habit ... lol). Anyway, she claims to have never been with a Black guy. It sort of went in one ear and out the other. But now she is talking about coming back to town to spend the week. She says things like: "I wanna to eat at some of 'YOUR' restaurants and go see some of 'YOUR' movies"

I dont want to disappoint her, but I dont own any restaurants and I haven't made any movies.

She even had to nerve to actually say "I can't wait to feel your big black ... " well ya know. I think the whole Black thing is going to her head. I really hate that I am the only experience she will likely have with a Black guy. I was happy to live up to some of her pre-conceptions. But I think she is about to get her feelings hurt. Im probably going to ruin it for the next brotha.

There is no way you can justify your views unless you flat out admit you worship Satan. Admit it or seriously consider you are living unrighteously and a lie. You would not want others viewing yourself or your race with such a scornful judgment, so why are you doing it to them?

I don't want to make anyone upset by asking or cause people to start posting mean stuff. I was reading Arabian Nights to my kids and I was a little confused because there were references to Arabia, Orient, India, and Persia. I just assumed that Persian and Arabic were the same but I know that this may be wrong. I wanted to explain to my kids exactly what regions were considered Persia and Arabia and the diferences between two if there are any.
Thanks a bunch.

I just got off the phone with the mother of the ruffian. I know he has problems, he was held back a year, but I have custody of an 8 year old granddaughter and he is 10. His mother was first upset with me when his 7 year old sister was playing with my granddaughter in her bedroom a few weeks ago. I told him boys were not allowed in her room, but they would be outside soon. His mother came to my door and questioned me on why I did not let him play in a bedroom with the girls. Since then, I will not allow her inside their home, but have tried to be cordial and let him know he is welcome in my yard as long as he follows the rules, the first one being, don't knock any kids around for the hell of it, or you will leave the yard. I am losing any objectivity I might have had before after talking to his mother. I am not the only one who objects to the boy's behavior, just the only one with the guts to call his mother [the father has custody] who has the two children more since school is out.
