Other - Cultures & Groups - July 2007

My wife and I are of African Persuasion and I was raised by my grandmother who just retired after 27 years of teaching; She taught me to be a gentleman and gave me a passion for education.

Now there is a difference between a black man and "******" and I have often had my issues with the latter. Before my wife and I were met she gave up on black men in this country because of the lack of disrespect. In other countries black men convey their respect for black women but not here. Ever listen to reggae?
Example: My wife is a former model from Africa which most men will look out of admiration for beauty but it seems when it comes to "******" they have this lustful, pervertive look, why?

It's these same ****** that complain about unfairness but when you have black men that are trying to do good such as Obama, Colin Powell they are called sell out's?

I love and respect my black women but I seem to be a minority whithin a minority on this one....

Alright, i posted this before, and got a lot of feedback, so i will post what i did before, and add a bit more. This is what i said:

Ok. I don't like black people. NOW! Don't go saying im a racist. It's not that i don't like them JUST because of the color of thier skin, but because in general how they act. Where i live every black person is either a complete moron, or a criminal, or obnoxiously loud. Now this is just a majority of the ones i have seen/known. Does anyone else feel the same? Does anyone disagree? Please let me know.

Ok. This is what i have to add. According to Wikipedia Racism is a belief or doctrine that differences in physical appearance between people (such as those upon which the concept of race is based) determine cultural or individual achievement, and usually involve the idea that one's own 'race' is superior.

I do not dislike black people because of the color of thier skin, nor do i think i, or my race is superior.

Of over 12 million illegal immigrants, how many of these are youngsters who needs to feel that they have a future in this country. These youngers needs to have a sense of belongingness.

Now more than ever they feel that they are an outcast whom US government/congress could not even help or give any sense of hope to belong to a community. This will push these youngsters into "gang" life.

I see an increasing violent gang related crimes in the future. What do u think?

Because he dislikes a people that immigrates to a country just to use that country. He dislikes people that immigrate to a country and hates the country that they immigrate to. He dislikes people that immigrates to a country and does not adapt to that country's culture, instead they still try to do things like that did back in their peasant homelands.

That's why

Black males seem to be commiting a large number a violent crimes. Often times it is blammed on racism. I think it's just bad parenting. When there are no fathers in the homes black boys in general will go astray. What can I do as a black male to help other black males become more responsible?

You look at other countries that we have emulated and they have been/are on the path of genocide and self destructive patterns that constantly reoccur. We put so much emphasis on the color of skin (something we invariably cannot change) and ridicule and waste time arguing over inherent differences that don't exist, and have never exclusively been proven to exist. We come up with ideologies that are false to make ourselves feel better about those differences and instead of judging individuals based on merit and character we again form biases based on ethnocentrism. We are bigoted, we suffer from superiority complexes, and we fail to utilize the time and funds we have to help those in need. Instead we buy the most expensive forms of utility we can afford disregarding our part to the environment and to our fellow man, and instead offer the blatant excuse of "it's my money I can do what I want to with it because this is America... : |

I mean damn, I am an Armenian and if I even thought of saying anything disrespectful, my mom would find some **** to hit me with or my dad would put me in my place when i got home... its getting to the point that parents are afraid of their children... I can't believe what has happened to my generation...

No one really seems to get upset about racism towards white people- why isn't it considered as important as racism towards minorities?

I am in my early teens and i am going to japan for a month over the summer on an exchange program. I'm kinda scared of what everyone will think of me. Will people dislike me because i'm american, or because i can't speak japanese? I also heard that because i have blond hair and blue eyes, i will be very noticable. Will people always be looking at me?

when i say "the japanese" i'm talking about japanese people in general.

thx
