Characters tend to have curly hair, fair, or light eyes. They always looked mixed. The average black is of caramel colored skin with coarse or fine hair. This upsets me, because people especially women will never get casted for big roles because of our dark skin. I am not blaming white people, because black people are known to do this also. All of my life, I have been told you are cute to be dark skinned or you are beautiful black girl. That's an insult.

in other states like Arizona, Texas, California, etc.
Do you see it otherwise? I feel like there's less racial tension here and in NY than any other areas of the USA.
Que piensan Uds.?

I don't know what it is, I don't want to be a prostitute, but I find their lifestyle so interesting, maybe because it's so different to mine!

Anybody else find it really interesting?

I believe that BRAIDS are WAY MORE MANAGABLE THAN ANYTHING!!! I can go anywhere with them, I can swim, walk in the rain and do anything with them and they don't mess up, Not to mention YOU DON'T HAVE TO COMB YOUR HAIR, you can get up, put on hair spray AND GO.

BTW
Let me add that BLACK WOMEN aren't the only ones that use hair straighteners, Latinos, Arabs and white people do as well.

I was reading a book that sparked the question and just wanted to see some other opinions because if you really think about it, you sacrifice something for complete freedom... So does that make us slaves?

Every time I ask someone why they relax their hair, they tell me "Oh, because it's more manageable."

Really?

Last I checked:

-Retouches have to be done every 4-6 weeks and cost $30-$65 depending on where you go
-You can't get your hair wet at all, and if you do, you have to spend a hefty amount of time getting it "straight" again
-After washing the hair, you have to condition it and waste precious time under the hair dryer so that the conditioner sets well
-You have to wrap your hair every night to prevent breakage and such

Not to mention the damage that the dangerous chemicals in relaxers have on the hair that:
-Prevent it from growing
-Damage the scalp
-Result in hair scalp
-Thin the hair
-Smell effin' horrible

Now, ladies, what gives?

Some people defend the kids who hung nooses from a tree saying that this act was not illegal. Though it may not have technically been illegal, it could still be considered a threat to kill. Maybe six black guys jumping onto a white guy could also be considered not technically illegal. It happens in football all the time. The problem was not the hanging of a rope, but the threat it posed. Just the same the jumping was not a game; it was a violent attack.

So for those who defend the hanging of the nooses as technically not illegal, let's see if you can list some things that blacks have done that may seem racist but were not technically illegal. The first example that comes to mind for me is Kanye West's claim that George Bush doesn't care about black people. It was a racist comment but not illegal.

After considering the many acts of racism on both sides, explain how any of these benefited society rather than tore us apart.

I have a friend who could possibly pass as a latin person. My friend speaks spanish, but she is african american. When we go out to latin places I believe that she wants people to believe she's not black. Me myself could pass for cuban/dominican/puertorican and any other island culture, but I am very honest about my race. Should I ask her why is she that way or just accept it and move on?

I am Hispanic and the father of my child is black. She looks more like her father than she does me. I often get mistaken as her nanny, and I get lots of stares (mostly from the hispanic community) It used to bother me before but I'm used to it now. I would just like to know if your a bi-racial child was it hard growning up for you? I would like to know what my daughter is in store for as she grows up and be prepared somewhat for her. She is 3 years old right now. I was brought up that their is one race which is the Human race, but i know many people have their own opionions. I just want to be prepared for my daughter.

Why would someone complain about something that is positve to the United State or harmless!

1.Black History month (since when it becamen racist to acknowledge cultural contribution to U.S. history! Noone is forcing you to learn it..everyone else has a month too)
2.Gay Marriages (just people getting married)
3.Affermative Action (It was to help minoritese including women not just African Americans in a all white male dominant society.)
4.Goverment Funds for college or ***** College Fund.(if you search for fund, grants and scholarship there are grants just for anyone just for being native american, asian, hipsanic, handicap, etc..Not especailly for African Americans)

How could any of this become a negative thing to others!

Please dont respond with another question...Why do Black people commit the most crime and so on..For those with a one track mind!

Please share your true life experiences...

How bad is the racial prejudice, negativity, contempt and subtle discrimination in your community? What have you personally experienced?

In what ways have people from another race mistreated you, disadvantaged you or disrespected you when you know you had clearly done nothing wrong?

Please protect the privacy of others by not mentioning real names of people or companies or organisations.

We are all the human race. A few thousand years ago if your ancestors were out in the sun a lot then you might be darker. But that is the only difference. I never knew why people LOVED finding every tiny discrepancy between us.
