Other - Cultures & Groups - August 2007

I am from the UK but i keep hearing people complainint that there is a shortage of eligible black males (apparently they are either gay, married or incarcerated lol) and that those that are left dont want black women and want to date other races.

I think people should be free to date who they want by the way, but i just want to hear from those who believe that there is a shortage of black men. If you think there is a shortage please explain how you came to this conclusion

I am not buying it by the way.

PS - apologies if this question is not PC - but sometimes you just have to cut thru the BULL!!

That we are only after his money? My boyfriend isnt the richest guy in the world, but he is hardworking, drives a nice car and shares a house with his roommate. I dont depend on him AT ALL, because I work and when Im done with my schooling, I'll probably make in six figures, three times what he is currently making. All the black f/ white m couples I know have women who are Registered Nurses or Physician's assistants (except my aunt who works at a bank in London), so I dont see why these women would depend on their white men, when they make a lot of money on their own.
Its just really annoying when people assume stupid stuff. What are your thoughts?

A friend of mine, who goes to college there, just came home on vacation. She was telling me about her experience. In Cuba there are zero homeless people, everyone is given the basic necessities for life such as: shelter, clothing and food. Medical care is even free and so is college and it's just as good as U.S colleges.

For a poor country that's really good, so my question is: Why doesn't America take care of it's people like that? In Cuba you still have to work but you are at least helped.

Asia is world largest continent its got second highest number of contries and lots of peopel from asian countries live in europ but when you hear the word "asian" you immediately think of a chinese or a japnese person. why is that?
Recently it was my son`s friends birthday and he ws invited. my son told me he is an asian and he needs to buy a present for him. I just went on my own to buy a present. i thought he is an asian he might like an action figuare, so i bought an 4 feet tall transforming action figuare which says some sentences in japnese and it had some japnese writting on it. when me and my son went to the birthday party and when i looked at the people around me and especialy at the kid whos birthday it was, he was asian but not chinese, he turned out to be a pakistani. I thought to my self "why are chinese people refferd to Asians?

I don't believe it should be because ever since I was a child in the 60's it seems this country has been in conflict with one or more neighbouring countries. I think Jersuselm is so important to Islam, Judaism and Christianity it can not be possed by one single country. I'm not political and don't know the historical context in which Israel came into being, but I understand they think it's the promised land. With that much conflict I don't think so somehow.

until their hair line starts to receded?

Most of the hair loss suffered from black women has to do with styling the hair instead of hereditary or illness, like other races. Why do they wear these styles until the point of baldness.

America is supposed to be a leading country today. Yet on producing scientists we rank world-wide number 25? How come we're a rich country yet an average American is stupid. How is that we're supposed to be a "melting pot" yet racist still lives on strongly. Immigrants come here hoping for a better life, some were told in America the streets are paved with gold, yet when they come they work long hours for minor wage.
Is America really that great? Now don't get me wrong I live in NYC, and I'm happy here but I'm just saying...

I find it strange that people are saying how they can't stand being PC. Ok, but what exactly does PC mean? Do you even know?

For instance, someone makes a racist comment, which they say is "just the truth." You get offended and wonder why they feel so comfortable saying these things. Well, they're just "so not into being PC." What?

You do realize that by making these comments or observations are you like to call them, you ARE being PC, don't you? Politics is all about being unfair remember?

So when you make an unfair comment, not caring if it offends anyone, or if it's a generalization or not, you are acting just like a typical member of congress. Technically, you are very PC.

Are some people using the PC card to excuse any crappy things they say?
