(no racism intended) I understand that people can be racist and that it can be harder for black people, but i dont think that they would complain as much if they actually lived in africa, compared, america would be 20x better even with racism. It bothers me when black people insist on being called "african american" because in any second they will call a Caucasian person "a white boy" or "cracker". If black people really want to be called "african american" then i expect to be called "irish, german,french morrocan, cherokee,british american"??

I once had a question on here about different cultures and some dude called me a "DIVERSITY EMBRACER" (in a negative context)

Is being a "diversity embracer" a negative thing?



Just curious

He accused Barack Obama of "acting white". Wow, this is pretty racist, don't you all think?

I can't wait for Jesse to lose his job over this.

Oh, wait...he's allowed to say whatever he wants! Otherwise, he'll picket you for being racist!

I cannot believe this! Someone tell me why no one is making a big deal out of this??
That black lady that was tortured by six white people in West Virginia? Why am I just now hearing about this on the news???
This shouldve BEEN on the news already as soon as it happened.
Can you believe they made that poor woman eat ANIMAL FECES?? she was sexually harrassed!?
That is sick!
But OJ Simpson stays on the news. Michael Vick stayed on the news. I bet if it was six black people torturing a white person we wouldnt hear the end of it!!!!!!!
There would be tons of questions/comments on here about that.
"Did you hear about those ni*****that tortured those poor white man/woman?"


I guess I should expect this.

I was at this bowling alley. basically a racial mini-brawl broke out. but they only arrested the black kids (all four were members of our high school football team). This was one of those nights when you pay 10 dollars and bowl as long as you want. So if you get there late you miss out. The white people from the next town over were waiting for a lane to open (which obviously was never going to happen) and I guess were getting frustrated. And that happen to toss the n-word at the wrong group of cats, and all hell broke lose.

So not only did they only charge the black kids, but all four were convicted and chuck was sentenced to 20 yrs! The NAACP was nowhere to be found until the trial was well underway. and even then they weren't foing anything but getting in the way.

The only things that saved their butts was that Virgina happened to have Black governor at the time.

Do you have any advice for parents of children who are another race/ethnicity/cultural background? In what ways can we promote her self-esteem as a black person and an adopted person? What did your family do (or not do) for you?

I am white, my husband is Filipino, and our daughter (3) is African-American.

saying that people should stop playing the race card in this case. Uhh, do you remember the horror stricken faces of White Americans in this country when the not guilty verdict was read, and the party like behavior of African Americans? Almost every single AP poll showed a significant amount of Caucasians believed he did it while most Blacks didn't think he was guilty. Even people who didn't know much about the case were choosing sides based on what race they were, which proved there is still a significant racial divide in this country. There was that lynch mob mentality then, and there's that lynch mob mentality now. If O.J.'s wife Nicole Brown Simpson, and Ronald Goldman, had been black, would most of you even care? The media definitely wouldn't have showed as much interest as they do now. Remember this has nothing to do with whether he did it or not, but I hate when people are in self denial over the fact that most people's perspective on him has a racial impetus.

do you really think it would be diffrent if it would have been 6 whites beating up on one black guy. yes the white guy was wrong.but being beat down by six people thats wrong fighting is wrong. solves nothing right.the law is the law.the kids black or white should pay the price. also remeber that all the people marching down there are just bringing money to that racist commuity.

I just heard about the Jena 6, and i must say it's interesting.

So it's come down to two "protests"(well, really it's just one)

wear black tomorrow, September 20, to support the Jena 6("free the Jena 6")

or wear white tomorrow, Sept. 20, to say that punishment should be carried out.

the "wear white" protest isn't real it was just kind of made up earlier today on facebook, and now it's been deleted.


in other words, what's your take on this Jena 6 situation?

Tiger woods, Lewis Hamilton, The Williams sisters, all have raised the bar in their chosen sports. Golf, Motor Racing and Tennis are all sports traditionally the domiane of white middle class people. So why are they being dominated by black stars right now? I'm thrilled that they are. It shows real grit and detirmination to succeed.

I can tell you how many times in high school where clans of boys especially, gang up ie, football teams, soccer teams, car clubs, and even get in fights over that stuff, its natural human nature. Do you think for one min. that a white boy playing a violin would be accepted in a black ghetto rap gangsta group? This is common sense, its not even racist as much is it is clanish and group against group competition its been going since man first started swingin sticks and pounding fists. You see this in all primates Gorilla, chimps, baboons and us too, we are the best at rivalry we love war vengence, greed, pride, its all part of what makes us survive.
You see this happening in black on black groups, or white on white, chineese on chineese groups, but the whole nations stands up and notices if its black on white or white on black this is just the infantile nature of our state of being human. Maybe in a few million more yrs we will see the light:)
