Why do most people consider Rodney King's comment so stupid?

He asked: "Why can't we all get along?" That is a reasonable question.

The picture of people getting along is a peaceful one.

What is wrong with Rodney King's question anyway?

This is the full story. Some people who live across the road from us used to be nice but all of a sudden they wouldn't talk to us any more. Then a few months later they start being mean (REALLY mean) and whenever we come out of our house they start making pig noises and saying 'Go back to where you came from(Nigeria)!' And also this summer I have gone to bed late but they keep the whole neighbourhood up by making loud noises and riding on quad bikes. Whenever I go to get ice-cream, they all come out and look at me strange. My family said they will sort themselves out but I'm not too sure about that. The idea I had was to call the community police and sort them out. Finally whenever we go out we can't even look without turning our heads. They shouldn't even be here!(They got putin by social services.)

Just recently, I realized that people have become much more anti-Semitic over the past decade. For example, Kyle is made fun of on the TV show South Park for being a Jew in nearly every episode, in the movie Borat there is the "running of the Jews" while Jews are said to be devils, and Jews are the butt of jokes on some late night comedy routines.

I had no idea that people hate the Jews so much in the US of all places, I was always taught that they are God's chosen people and are well respected. I was raised Christian but have an obvious Jewish last name, by the way. What are your thoughts on how the Jews are treated? Do you think this trend will worsen with prejudice against the Jews or will it improve?

I am a member of the US Coast Guard, in which part of my job basically requires me to learn spanish. I have a pretty good grasp of the spanish language so i don't really have a tough time speaking with the illegal immigrants we catch. I am also fluent in french because my mom was from France (besancon). So whenever i go back to europe to visit my relatives it seems that everyone is more sophisticated and speaks more than 1 language, escecially english. My question is, Why do most americans speak only english? How come we are not like the rest of the world and speak more than only our first language. I am an American, I was born here and didnt find it very difficult to learn and speak 2 other languages. If we could just get off the couch and be a little bit more enthusiastic we could all easily speak more than 1 language. This is pretty sad and pathetic, can someone please explain this to me?

You might consider this a stupid question but seriously, why do some people have to be racist? What is the benefit of being racist?

It doesn't do any good but it just causes problems. Do you think that people who are extremely racist have never been faced with racism, meaning that they don't know how it feels like, so they go overboard sometimes with their insults and comments.

I mean are you kidding? Sure I don't wear hijab but thats does not mean i'll go sleeping around.

This treatment of women by Muslim men makes me sick to let you know.


Sorry I had to rant! opinions?

Why are so many of you rejecting your own? Why are you so self-rejecting and self-hating these days? Have you forgotten the teachings of Malcolm X, Marcus Garvey, and W.E.B. DuBois. Have you ever read the Willie Lynch letter? Do you read books at all anymore? Why are you claiming to hate your own? Have they heard the term "overseer" and "house slave" before? Didn't the Black overseers and house slaves love their master so much that they rejected and even whipped their own? Why do you think its so different today? Why do so many disrespect your women? Don't you know that a nation is ONLY as strong as its women? If the women are weak, they raise weak babies who grow into weak men/women. Don't you know that you should be upholding the women and respecting them? Why do you trust in a place that historically has opressed you to this day? Why are you caught up in chasing money and cars? You cant take it with you to the grave. Why not chase good character, morality, honor, and community?

It seems that other countries blame us for most everything, but we are always there to help when they need us. I know the war in Iraq has not made us any friends, but people have hated us way before that. I would like to hear what you think. Thanks.
