I happen to use a real dictionary and not the one you find online. What I gathered from the dictionary is that the n-word is really an ignorant person. For example:

rhianna n
Kevin l
Michael H
John Smith
Daniel Carver
The Darkie

What do you think?

I am trying to get verified as a descent of a Native American, and my grandmother says we are of Blackfoot descent. Now is there a difference between Blackfoot and Blackfeet tribes? Only Blackfeet is federally recognized but both are in the same Idaho-Wyoming-Montana area.

I live in an apartment complex and have a golden retriever puppy. He's easily the cutest dog around, everyone's in agreement on that. There are a number of Indian families (from India, not Native Americans) who also live in the complex, and our dog gets nothing but dirty looks from them. Everybody else comes up to him and pets him and stuff, but they avoid him like the plague.

Any ideas why?

I don't feel that we should ever forget the past. However, I know that we should not hold hostility because of past historical events. We should learn from our mistakes and embrace the lessons that we learn. To forget the past, means forgetting our Ancestors. If we should actually forget the past, why do we take history classes in school? On the other hand, how can we know where we are going, if we don't know where we have been or how far we have come?

What about 'black' people? Or is 'black' the proper name? If so would that mean that 'Asians', 'Latin', and 'Caucasians' should be called yellow, red, and white people respectably? Whats up with white people having their own special word (Caucasian) but no other races having any (unless I am woefully ignorant of such). Why don't some Filipino's consider themselves 'Asians'?

Maybe it is impossible to categorize people? Maybe everything's not black and white (No pun attended)!

Please, they don't teach us this stuff in school (lol)! Thanks.

"They're standing on the corner
and they can't speak English.
I can't even talk the way these people talk:
Why you ain't,
Where you is,
What he drive,
Where he stay,
Where he work,
Who you be...

And I blamed the kid until I heard the mother talk.

And then I heard the father talk.

Everybody knows it's important to speak English
except these knuckleheads.

You can't be a doctor
with that kind of crap coming out of your mouth.

In fact you will never get any kind of job
making a decent living.

People marched and were hit in the face with rocks
to get an education,
and now we've got these
knuckleheads walking around.

The lower economic people
are not holding up their end in this deal.

These people are not parenting.
They are buying things for kids.
$500 sneakers for what ? ?

And they won't spend $200 for Hooked on Phonics.

I am talking about these people who cry
when their son is standing there in an orange suit.

Where were you when he was 2 ? ?

Where were you when he was 12 ? ?

Where were you when he was 18,
and how come you didn't know
that he had a pistol ? ?

And where is the father ? ?
Or who is his father ? ?

People putting their clothes on backward:
Isn't that a sign of something gone wrong?

People with their hats on backward,
pants down around the crack,
isn't that a sign of something ? ?

Or are you waiting for Jesus
to pull your pants up?

Isn't it a sign of something
when she has her dress all the way up
and got all type of needles [piercing]
going through her body?

What part of Africa did this come from??

We are not Africans.
Those people are not Africans;
they don't know a thing about Africa.

With names like Shaniqua,
Taliqua and Mohammed
and all of that crap,
and all of them are in jail.

Brown or black versus the Board of Education
is no longer the white person's problem.

We have got to take the neighborhood back.

People used to be ashamed.
Today a woman has eight children
with eight different 'husbands' --
or men or whatever you call them now.

We have millionaire football players
who cannot read.
We have million-dollar basketball players
who can't write two paragraphs.

We, as black folks, have to do a better job.
Someone working at Wal-Mart with seven kids,
you are hurting us.

We have to start holding each other
to a higher standard..
We cannot blame the white people
any longer."

A white female or a black man for President?

Me: I think the republicans will rather see a black man in office before a woman regardless of race.

"For the first two hundred years of American history, wealthy white employers and white churches constantly reinforced the poor whites' ideas about their superiority over blacks due to the color of their skin. Desperately desiring some power in society, poor whites gladly claimed this role, despite the obvious flaws in this argument. In Origins of the New South, C. Vann Woodward writes, "it took a lot of ritual and Jim Crow to bolster the creed of white supremacy in the bosom of a white man working for a black man's wages" (p.211) Poor whites and blacks share similar religious doctrines, family ties and community loyalty; yet have remained separated by racial animosity."

Given the number of defective products and tainted foods that are being maufactured and processed in China and that are making their way into the U. S., don't you think it'd be wise for U. S. consumers to stay away from Chinese goods for awhile? Atleast until they prove they can make and produce goods worthy of our use and consumption? I say we boycott all Chinese goods and products immediately and without delay! Certainly, there must be others we could patronize temporarily, if not permanently. This is what happens when you grow too fast as China has done. Besides, they need to be put back in their box. They've gotten a little too big for their britches and it's time somebody let them know about it...! Anybody with me on this...?

How do white people feel when they get called the 'C' word? It usually gets confused with the snack, and it rhymes with tracker.

Seriously: one can thank one's fellow men and women for racism of any sort. How many Anglo-Saxons have you ever talked with, to find out WHY they are racist? Maybe they were offended by rude or violent behaviour by people of other races.

For example, one of my dearest friends was harassed at the hospital in Chicago's West Side by an African American woman. My friend was just standing by the directory board, trying to get some information.The woman pushed up against her, for no reason that we can figure.

I've heard much how Blacks discriminate against not only Whites, but against Jews, Asians, and Latin Americans. So if there is some resentment against this, maybe this is part of the "fuel" which keeps the flames of racism burning.

Racism is an "interactive" thing. People who are abusive are often abused before in life. As a non-African, I have been the target of hate stares, discrimination in a workplace setting, mugging, and harrassment in other ways. Because of a F
