As a mixed white American, or mutt, I witness in this society a broad range of cultural identities among minorities. It is common to hear about the Black, or Hispanic, or Asian communities in my city. Knowing friends that belong to each of these communities they feel they are connected and strengthened by this connection. They are also concerned about specific issues concerning their community. But what about me? As a white man I feel I am lacking any identity at all. What are the options for cultural identity of a thoughtful white male in a mixed society. I don't like the show Friends, I don't exploit people economically, I don't like Nascar and country music but people of other ethnic communities have historically not accepted me as being as down for the cause of true social equality and brotherly love and understanding, which in my heart I truly am! What can a mutt do?

I am from Northern Louisiana and people always say that I look as if I am "black creole." Now, I am by no means light skinned, but people have always asked me that. From my understanding, I thought that a creole person was light with wavy hair etc and most of these people reside in Southern Louisiana. So, my question is, what exactly is a black creole. I have searched all of the net and still have not been able to find answers to this. All opinions are welcomed.

Thanks

It's interesting to me that people who are against romantic interracial relationships never seem to be as passionate about their beliefs when they are talking about White/German, Hispanic/White, Italian/White, White/Japanese or any other combination where the skin colors are very close in skin tone.

However, whenever there is a Black/White couple involved they seem to really protest, whether it is a White girl with Black guy or Black girl with White guy.

My question is why do most people seem to protest this combination so much if both people are really happy in the relationship?

The excuse that most people will use is that their kids will have problems and be discriminated against if they ever have any but I always want to ask them how many interracial kids have they talked to who have complained about not being well adjusted. In most cases I'm sure that not too many have.
Any way, why do most Americans make sure a big deal out of the White/Black romantic relationship?

They have Colombus day,and they have the Land Run of Oklahoma day, but i didnt run on that day, because i said that it was wrong, but there is no Native American day, they should have a day of celebrating of Sitting Bull's birthday, or the Choctaw Code talkers, but why dont they?
dont you think that there should be a Native American holiday?

Like seriously everybody in the united states are racist. wether its blacks against white or mexicans against white. Whatever it is its wrong.

When I went to europe nobody judged me by the way I looked or talked. I was there to play soccer and I made some great friends.

There was black people, white people, dutch, mexican, and we all got along, so why is it so hard for people here to get along. We were all created equal by the same person and all it is is that we look and talk diffrent. We all live, breath, shed blood, have friends, someone who loves us, someone to talk to.
WHY CANT WE ALL GET ALONG???

I'll give you an example which I'll prob. get some slack about.

My husband spanks me and I like it and want it that way. So for us that is "normal" for us.

One persons abnormal is another persons "normal" , so how can that word be defined at all?

Curious to what you think. Thanks!

Because look and compare their faces. They look really different! Plus, they are seperated over 5,000 miles. Take a line scaled down to equal 5,000 miles anywhee else on a globe over land and you'll get a different race from where you started to where you end.

Most people see the color of people which to me is rediculous because that's a bit too racist. But me, i don't look at color at all I just judge people by their actions whether their right or wrong. I don't believe in the word black people because if people were black they would be black as a rubber car tire and i don't believe in white because if people were white they would be white as a white wall. All this color stuff was made by men not GOD, like men makin' up the Y2K bug before 2000 or 2001.

Are Beyoncé and Jay Z still together? There was a rumour about them having problems in their relationship. Is this true? Is Aretha Franklin married or does she at least have a man that is never talked about?

On one side there is the immigration issue which makes people angry as they see immigrants as a drain on resources and threat to English culture.

On the other side you have the long term unemployed and single mothers who refuse to work despite having school aged children. This is also a drain on resources and possibly undermines English culture as well.

Which do you think is worse?

Has anyone seen a "black person" who had WHITE skin, BLONDE, but kinky hair, with black people's features? (like bigger nose, lips). Im not even kidding but I've seen an albino black person. I was at a camp and spent like 4 days with her. I wanted to ask her but it wouldve sounded really rude. It just looked sooo odd to me. Is it like a disease for a black person to be born with such light features? or a mutation?

For thousands of years, slavery has existed in society. The Irish were enslaved, murdered, raped, staved to death. Their shanti houses burned on random. Jews have been enslaved for thousands of years and then just recently during WWII where more jews, gyspies, catholics were killed in a few years in concentration camps than in the entire duration of american slavery. All throughout Europe, asia slavery flurished. The native americans were enslaved in camps and slaughtered and starved. During WWII, descendants of Japanese heritage in america were put in concentration camps. I am not trivializing African slavery. If you think that this is an attempt to do so, move on and dont waste my time. I'm simply asking why all these other ethnic groups hardly ever make a peep about their enslavement whereas alot of African Americans act as though they were enslaved last week even though it happened 150 years ago. Meanwhile, there are jews still alive who suffered the attrocities & never mention it.

im kind of christian (hard to explain) and im 100 percent FOR gay marriage and i love homosexual ppl!! however i notice how so many christians use what some ppl call convenient hatred against gay ppl - they use the whole 'well in the bible it says being gay is a sin blah blah blah' ive gone to religious schools my entire life and whenever i bring up the fact that the bible was written in a completely different era and it was written by men which inevitably makes it biased they say that the bible applies to all times. then i say wel what about women being inferior to men, incest, racism, and slavery....all of which are in the bible and justified...and these self righteous christians go 'oh well thats different' ...funny.

what do you think about it?
