I am white, so, can I call other white people the N-word? Is that socially acceptable?

'Amrrrcans' are quick to explain the problems of poverty and underdevelopment in other countries (i.e. Mexico, Central America, etc.) as directly related to alleged corruption existing in their governments.

So, does that mean that 'Amrrrca' is corruption free, since it is soooo developed, and relatively speaking, poverty free? Do people in the 'Amrrrcan' government (Federal, State, Local, etc.) dish out favors and favoritism in exchange for bribes?

If you listen to black music today (Rap, R&B) its mostly derogatory. In Rap music (specifically) they degrade women, advocate violence, advocate murdering, are sexist, promote and glamourise gang member life, advocate, promote and glamourize the use of illegal drugs, ect..

Its not like this stuff is hidden from the public either, and it is dangerous for young people to listen to such music that glorifies such horrible things.

All the while it seems blacks quickly attach themselves to this kind of stereotype and culture and dress like a Hip Hop gang member as if its the only identity availble for blacks today

Would you white folks get offended? It's all in jest anyway. I refer to my anglo friends as mono-lingual or one language people all the time. I have no intent to hurt them. So far no one has taken any offense and most get a laugh out of it. I'm just poking a little fun at their inability to speak another language.

Like if you see them in one group and they are walking on the street towards you or just hanging out near your house, do you get scared or frightened? Especially the ones that wear goth and punk rock clothes?

Of course I know why some people have said as such- When people accuse me of being a race traitor, call me a cave *****, told me that I was stealing black men, and so on... I was/am aware that these statements were/are coming from the mouths of racists. It makes no sense that they would say such things and then accuse someone else of being racist. But that's what they do, and the fact is that they're the ones who are racist. I know this.

However, what I don't understand is why people would always tell me that I was being racist by only dating black men (rather than dating various races of men). How was I any different from white women who only date white men or black women who only date black men? I can't help who I'm attracted to. I've never been with a black man for racist reasons. So how in hell can someone think I'm racist?

Ive been to Scotland and it is beautiful. But why are Scots so patriotic? OR is it that the English are just not patriotic enough and it makes the Scots look patriotic?

U.S.A is a relatively new country and many of you have still strong memories of other parts of the world runing trough their system. I bet that many of the proud Americans of today are similar to those who wanted to become (by various reasons) Roman citizens many centuries ago. America is a great dream but still a dream...

It is out of control the way certan guys treat women on the streets as if we are supposed to like it. Like we are supposed to be ok with whatever they call us. This is mainly because rappers portray women in their lyrics "and" videos in a derrogatory and "unreal" way. All women are not video girls and it is especially hard for us, African American women, to be looked at in a positive way, because of this...

What do you think?

...Black stuff? Theres magazines, channals, tv shows, college funds, etc all devoted to black people. If someone made a white college fund or a white tv channel, theyed be discriminated as racist. Its a double standard.

Not just here in the race section. But also in the homo and women's studies sections.

I'm not talking about the people who are simply putting forth a conservative or traditional viewpoint.

I'm talking about the people who come to these sections just to insult women/homos/people of color. They are almost 100% male. Why is that?

I just read the article where Jesse Jackson referred to New York as "Jew York" and "Hymie-Town". He claims that "those people" are part of a conspiracy to keep black people down.

Could it be that he hates Jews so much, because while the Holocaust happened 50 years ago, fresh in the lifetimes of many Jews, they don't whine and cry about it asking for reparations and refusing to work? Is it because slavery, having been more than a century and a half ago, has no survivors who can remember what it was like, who still bear the marks of their oppression? Is it because unlike blacks, the Jews have typically been succesful in buisiness matters and politics, and that they forgive German survivors of Hitlers army far more than blacks forgive white people who weren't even alive during the days of slavery? Is it because he understands that while Jews have far greater reason to be bitter, they usually aren't, proving that the only chains blacks wear today are by their own choice?

Here is my point. This did not start out a race issue but if you look at it most of the people who are screeming for him to be tried are white people from animal activists. But that doesn't make it race related because they are all animal activists and those people are always nuts just read up on them. What does seem to speak of racisim to me is the black community who is coming out and saying "Due Process", "Innocent Until Proven Guilty" and the other banners they are waving. They are protesting his innnocence without looking at the case, above and beyond that there is no due process in the court of public opinon and that is the only place he has visited yet. Even his cohorts are giving up now saying he was funding the situation. Any man caught with this much evidence against him would be on a troubled train so why is it different just because he is black? Does this show the last true bastion of Racisim in the USA is in the black community?

Who thinks that all these Majorityly black gangs are dangerous.
I am telling you they are not threat compared to the many white radical groups. Here are the reasons that they are more dangerous then any minority gang.
1. They are organized
Not saying these Minority gangs dont have some form of Orginization, but you see them trying to pull things off and they all fail.
2. They have no Ideology
White radical groups have an ideology that is a pro white society. Minority gangs are just in it for instant self gratification. There is no loyalty or honor, they all rat eachother out at the first chance. The white radical groups have the Loyalty and honor to acomplish there goals.
3. These white radical groups aren't fighting eachother
4. They have more charismatic leaders that can inspire self sacrafice for their cause.
I am not racist, my 2 best friends are Black and Philipino. If Obama is elected, these radical groups will attack, and it wont be pretty!
