Why do some of us, sit and dwell on injustices, rather than collectively or independently come up with a resolution?
I see questions that ask why and who, instead what or how.
Your opinions are appreciated, as you are Peace~

Who made them the deciders. I often hear things like: "Beyonce isn't Black," Why? because she is caramel (not even all that light). But Beyonce says she is Black. Black people say she is Black. what else is there?

Most white people don't even know what being Black means, who are they to decide who is Black and who is not?

There are alot of questions about blacks & blacks committing crime. White ppl as usual feel like black ppl are trying to blame whitey and slavery.

In my opinion it's the persons fault for committing the crime, but collectively, whitey also has an unseen hand in inprisoning black ppl & I'm not understanding how they don't see that. What do you think?

I live in Australia and am very confused about the word n****r used in American culture. In Australia aboriginals more commonly call each other cuz- like cousin. I watched an episode of Oprah where she asked some black actors and a rap star why they used the word and they said it was a loving word. I agree with Oprah when she said there is too much hatred and history attatched to the word for it to ever be attatched to love. If it shows love from one black person to another, and yet for some reason some black people dont like it when "some" white people say it, I do not understand how a word can mean so much love and be so offensive????? Why not just erase it all together???

Mostly of times, many guys has been stare at me, while they are driving or stopping the sight.

I was wondering, it is just nature thing for them to stare at a girl ? (you know, just checking..?) or because of my height ?( i am a tall girl, 5 foot 9)

it makes me very uncomfortable..

The reason why i'm asking this, its because once i was at Miami Beach and an european old man was just lying on the sand and he knew i was next to him getting my towel and he farted just in front of me, and seriously i had no idea what to do, and then last month the same thing happened when i went on vacation to Cancun in Mexico. Is that allright in some cultures???

First of all, I want to say that I know that we are all PART OF THE HUMAN RACE! I also know we should treat people individually; but, to be honest, would you go outside of the "physical identification" you have with a race (caucasin, black, hispanic, asian, etc.)??
this has always been a hard one for me, because I am multi-cultural, heritage speaking... and I identify with no particular "group". so, it has been easy for me to look people individually. but, i do still have my preference.

Why is my naturally dark skin, thick lips and nice figure deemed as ugly on me, but when manufactured and placed on a different culture, why are the full lips then sexy, the dark skin appealing and youthful, and the curves said to be attractive? But I have the same stuff naturally, and I'm said to be plain. Why? Are certain races just not admitting the truth.

I love aging gracefully, and not having to worry about skin cancer, I love that my skin doesnt show off every blemish that I have, and wont start looking leathery as the years go by. Why is it so bad to be proud to be non-white?

There is all types of data about Black people. But if looking for data specifically about white people one finds there is not as much data. I did a quick search. I googled "african-american teen pregnancy" most of the links were about teen pregancy in general, but quite a few were specifically about black women. As similar seach for "white american teen pregnancy" and "caucasian teen pregnancy" pretty much gave the same results about pregancy in general, but no results about white women specifically (at least on the first page).

My point is, why are Black people so often single out for study, but not white people?

ok ALOT of African Americans use the slavery thing and say everyone is predujice against them. If they get arrested, all of the sudden it's just because he's African American and we hate him. They always pull that card and I am tired of it!!!! I have nothing against African Americans or any other race for that matter, but they act like everyone does. They think that everyone should give them the world because we forced them to be slaves for us, but WE didn't our ancestors did and it was awful and i'm against it, but now alot of them have turned the tables and hate white people because of what WE did, but WE didn't do it, the people before us did. I don't treat them like dirt and yet that is how alot of them treat me. I am not saying that everyone one who is Black does this, but it just seems like alot of them do. They give me dirty looks and curse at me and i'm sick of it. I stick up for people getting made fun of for race or anything else and think it is horrible and yet there is...

and if you still get along with everyone, how did you overcome such powerful influences of hate and develop your own mind and opinions of people without bias. Did you have a certain experience that changed you or did you always think that your family was wrong?
