How would you feel if you see one black girl in your class but everyone else is white (including the teacher).......

I mean i have no problem being in the class, im the only black girl in there its ok but you know i do like to have those people i can relate to at times (ethnic) wise. Everyone seems pretty friendly though, this has never happened to me before, its kind of awkward but i'm not racist so i don't mind.

........

Please tell me what you think of this poem, I love it! She told it right.
By the way, when I said anyone who wont give a dumb answer, I was not saying that b/c I think only Black people give good answers, its b/c almost everytime theres a question to or about Black people, its definately going to get negative responses

I have only ever seen a real life black man once at the bus station in my town. I have seen and even spoken to a few chinese people. Where i live there are no blacks for miles and miles as its a small white town. There is not racism here. I see a lot of them on television though and from what people say im very lucky and should steer well clear of them.
is this unfair ? i think i should make up my own mind about people though.

I have noticed A LOT of questions regarding bare feet on Y/A, and I know many of you who are inclined to answer these questions are already SBL members - Kudos to you, fellow members, for spreading the word. I just thought I'd send an open invitation! :-)

If you are interested, here is a url you can visit for membership info.:
http://www.barefooters.org

We are a group of people from around the world who educate about the benefits of unshod life, and debunk the myths about "illegal barefoot driving," "By order of the Health Dept., no bare feet," etc.
It is a great organisation that provides a forum for all who would live as much of a barefoot life as possible. Barefoot is a healthy and responsible lifestyle choice, and I REALLY encourage all who love going barefoot as often as possible to join! :-)
Best answer will be given to the person who provides the most interesting story of a barefoot experience.

Whilst I like living in a multi racial society is it fair for a white person to be the ethnic minority in South London?

I hate when Jews say that the Palestinians have 11 other Arab countries to go to why dont they go there You want to know why they dont go there its because they want their country the Palestinian people are Palestinian their now Jordanian, Egyptian, Iraqi, Iranian okay they are Palestinian and they want to reside in Palestine telling a Palestinian person to go reside in Egypt when they are Palestinian and want to reside in Palestine is ridiculous and the only reason Jews say that the Palestinians have other countries to go to is because they want the whole land for themselves and they dont want any body other than themselves to have more and more and more of that land

Honestly, I've always wanted to change the world one person at a time. So I really want to sponsor a child in the CCF which actually would excite me! However, my mom wouldn't approve of a new, extended, member of our family. She doesn't think it would be in my best interest (as I want to go to college to become a surgeon and I'm exceptional in school).

I'm very deep and I have the HUGEST heart (which is often a bad trait because of my disadvantage to go far in life...I let someone else go before me and as I know it, to be successful, you have to be demanding and strong. I don't even swear:-), never made out and I'm not even ugly...I've had many opportunities to do so but never did.

Anyways, why must I be constantly held back by my mom. I love her but sometimes I just feel like I need to take a stand for myself. I mean there are times when she tells me stuff and I just say I'm not dumb and I know already. She treats me like a baby in a way.

I just want to help a kid

I've seen a lot of questions on here regarding dark gums...

Pigmentation of the gums (dark color seen at the gingiva) is generally physiological (normal) depending on the person's race. African Americans present more pigmentation, thus gums may have a darker color, especially in some areas. This is generally seen symmetrically (present both in right and left sites).

Sometimes, darker color may happen due to a foreign body. It generally occurs due to amalgam restoration materials staying around following tooth extraction, etc. [It looks like a tattoo.]

And sometimes, they may be related to a local pathology affecting melanin-releasing cells
It may also be related to systemic health problems, especially related to blood cells. Thus, I recommend you visit a pedodontist (dentist with a speciality in children's oral health) if you do not have African American, Mediterranean, Asian, etc. background and/or if the color changes are newly noticed and/or if the color change is not symmetrical.

I'm sorry but I absolutely hate freshmen. They are so immature, especially the boys. Oh my god, they act like freaking pimps when they're like only 3 feet tall. Ugh and don't get me started on the girls. Why do freshmen girls act like such sluts? They're like mini-Paris Hiltons. I just had my second day of school yesterday and I just want to go up to the little freshmen and smack them. And i don't hate them just because they're freshmen and it's tradition, but some of them are real jerks/whores. They act like the own the hallway like its freaking middle school! But today they learned their lesson. IT'S FRESHMEN FRIDAYYYY! Haha upperclassmen brought in freaking eggs and ****. It was so funny. I'm so glad I'm a senior. Then i can leave this teenybopper hell hole and go on to the real world. Ugh one more year...


Btw, in high school.

I am not a homophobe. I have no problem with men or women being homosexual. It just seems that gay men are always acting like a bunch of junior high kids. They're always talking about how cute this guy is or who they like but he likes someone else who likes someone else. And why do they have to wear so many rainbow bands or slogan shirts with gay innuendo. I recently saw a shirt that said "looking for a few good men" and had a marine on the front. Does anyone else find gay men in their 20's and 30's immature. To me relationships are sacred and it just seems alot of homosexual men acts as though it is a sport.

Hey. There is a movie being made About a young Japanese American male in a relationship with a beautiful African American woman. The movie also gives a look on how both races are affected in the unionl. get a clip here and spread the love about Asian men and Black women relations. :) It's interesting though that these 2 people are chosen. People believe this union is rare, which it is, but throughout history, one can see otherwise. enjoy. And please feel free to post yur opinions about this clip.

Not necessarily from a moral perspective but a human one?

I am referring to the present day, not when your nearest neighbor was miles away and there was minimal interaction with other people.

There are not many species that mate for life and I am quite certain that humans are not one of them. Sometimes it just feels like a set-up.
