Why do idiots like chavs and gang or estate yobs consider an area their turf when they dont own the land deeds


ie those from say manchester thinking their city is their turf and the girls there are their girls or london doing the same or some estate or whatever.


When they dont won land deeds so its not and nobody belongs to anyone so all should mix, socialise, darte each toehr help each other and learn from each other

this question is mainly for african-americans, but you're just as welcome to answer if you're of another ethnicity. :)

here goes: the stereotypical black person is someone who lives in the ghettoes, talks trash, speaks in ebonics, loves rap/jazz and isn't very smart... or articulate (is that right?).

now supposing you have this black person who lives a lifestyle far different from this caricature of an african american. this person speaks proper english, does not swear, has a well-paying job, lives in the suburbs and likes classical/country/rock/anything that isn't rap. he's also been a consistent honor student throughout his school years and is currently a member of mensa international.

such persons are sometimes labelled by gangstas and the like as being "ashamed of being black". would you agree?

How do you feel about this? I know that there must have been tons of questions asked about this before I got onto this part of YA, but now, I want your honest opinions, please.

Here's my opinion, AGREE or DISAGREE, tell me why:
Like I always say, stereotypes have to start somewhere! I mean, it's like black men owning pitt bulls or white people being hillbillies, or chinese people growing rice, or mexicans stealing things, and that...it had to start somewhere. If it hadn't have happened at one time or another and frequently, it wouldn't be a stereotype. I'm just sorry that nobody can overlook the mistakes of others and get to know people for who they are.

I'm white, and I don't like to be known as a hillbilly or a preppy white girl that carries a chihuahua in her purse, but what am I gonna do? Get mad because my race has embarrassed itself? No, I'm going to try and change how people see us. Complaining only contributes to the lack of effort being put into change for the better.

Why do people think black people come in different shades from light black skin to really dark. If you're black and you have light black skin you have WHITE IN YOU. Black people DO NOT have naturally light skin. You may be at least a quarter white or a little like 15% that changes you're skin tone. SO MANY black people are mixed that people think they come in different shades LOL. you people are dumbasses.

ok so i noticed that damn miss chang is back again...she got banned but she keeps coming back and its really really annoying.

there is a solution however:
1)we get a lot of people to complain about her, and report her to y/a staff
2)we get yahoo answers to ban her ip address, so this time, when she gets banned, she doesn't come back
3)we finally get to interract in a non-racist, non-narcissist, poser-free environment

star if u agree

A real hippie? You don't have to be an original hippie, but wearing a bandana once in a while just won't cut it. So who's a true hippie man?

I understand when Native Americans protest the use of terms such as "Digger", or "Savage". But, I know of a University in Oklahoma whose team name was recently changed from "Redmen" to "Riverhawks".

The name of the state of "Oklahoma" means "Red Man". It was Native Americans themselves who used the terms "Red Man" and "White Man" to differentiate. If a group of white men came and asked, "Who lives to the West?" The Native American tribe might respond, "Red Man", meaning a different Native American tribe. This is why we sometimes use names for tribes that isn't what the tribe traditionally called itself. Most tribes called themselves "The People", or some variation.

Now, this University is called "The Riverhawks", a generic term, if you ask me. The University was once a Seminary for Native Americans, and I feel that the name was respectful and a tribute to the Native American history of the University.

Is it possible to be too sensitive, aka "politically correct"?

What am I supposed to do find an exact match? Some people don't like interracial couples so what the hell am I supposed to do to make those people happy? I am not actually trying to please them, I just want to know the thought logic on this subject. Anybody else that wants to chime in can as well.

Some use it as a crutch for not succeeding. Some as an excuse for holding others back, etc. What's your opinion?
