They see television ruining their children,and they ignore it.They see violence and losing used as entertainment and deny the contradiction.They observe that tobacco harms the body,and pretend it does not.They see a father who is drunken and abusive,and the whole family denies it,letting no one say a word about it.
They observe that over thousands of years their religions have failed utterly to change mass behaviors,and deny this,too.They see clearly that their governments do more to oppress than to assist,and they ignore it.
They see a health-care system that is really a disease-care system,spending one-tenth of its resources on preventing disease,and nine-tenths on managing it,and deny that profit motive is what stops any real progress on educating people in how to act and eat and live in a way which promotes good health.

Constantly having the threat of violence hanging over thier heads, by their own people? Going so far as to beat and rape their own gang members in prison over some bullcrap idea of how things are supposed to be? And saying the White Man "makes" them do these things?
I got news for Hating types of Blacks. The one that Takes You Out, will be Blacker than you!

I am taking a class on self defense for women and they talked about rape and also myths of rape. One myth that cam up was most white women get raped by white men, but the truth is most rapes occur within ones own race and ethnicity/background and the ones that do occur interracially, there are more black women raped by white men than white women raped by black men. I was really surprised by this so researched it, and it is actually true. Why does it seem that the media makes it seem like more Black men rape white women?? And also I read that Black women were least likely to report a rape if they were raped by White man, why do you think this is so?

She was the most beautiful girl
But she hated herself, living in her two worlds
What do you think when you’ve been told your whole life
Half of you isn’t right
And you should have been born pure white?
So she’s drinking a lot
And she’s smoking a lot
And she controls herself
Glad you can’t read her thoughts
She tells herself she’s secure
But when it all stops
She’s grown into a world
Where she’ll never quite see
She’s such a beautiful girl

Here in Durham there is a grocer called Food World. . Usually my sister goes with me but yesterday my husband did. This is the most culturally diverse place that I have seen in a long time. Hispanic, Arabian, African, Chinese, Japanese, Vietnamese, etc. We were looking at the Italian gold, an Asian man grabbed my husband's arm and was trying to show him something. We could not understand, he drew a small audience of people. He had a scratch off lottery ticket saying that he had won $5,000. People of different cultures hugged each other, and for 10 or more minutes, it was like nobody was a stranger. My eyes caught on the white shoppers and they were standing back. A older white couple came up. As soon as others say them, they made a point to exclude them. Nobody acknowledged them. My mouth dropped, I could not believe it. I did attempt to include them in. I found out really quick that I stood alone. What do you think of this?

Now, here is my question: A fellow in my class who is Latin hurt my feelings when he said that pure Africans (not mixed with White American or Native American blood) were primitive, unintelligent, and have never contibuted to society (he meant they never invented anything). He continued by saying that this is why they have been in terrible situations (like starving since the dawn of man) and they keep needing assistance from the West. I was shocked when I heard this and know this is untrue but had nothing to back this up. What can I say to this moron?? Please help

Several Iranians I met told me that they hate Arabs, and i should not associate with them, there reason being that 1,000 years ago the arabs invaded the persian empire and brought islam to persia and changed the language and tried to get rid of the culture. They say that Arabs are responsible for the decline of persia.

I say...well if that were true.....then we should hate the greeks too..oh and the Mongols. Everyone should hate Italy because the romans occupied all of europe at one point. But they don't.

I say that hating someone for what someones grandfather did is stupid. Hating someone for something his great-great-great-great-great-great.....................................great grandfather might have done is down right ridiculous. First of all, all empires rise and fall..Persian was going to collapse sooner or later just as rome and babylon did.

Second of all....Islam is a great religion.

Third of all swallow your damn pride and learn to get along..let the past stay

why is that a person will state a stat such as "Black people make up 80 percent of the prison population." And say this is proof that Blacks are criminals. Now the number is closer 42 percent in reality, but that is still too high.

But lets say it true that 80 percent of prison inmates are Black. How is that a person can state this a fact, but then deny that there is any racism in the justice system.

Do you see what I am getting at?

how is that such a statistic is looked at as proof of Black peoples inferiority rather than evidence of racism in the justice system?
