Im trying to learn to love my dark skin! :)..... I do not care anymore. This skin will not change, I need to work with what I got maybe even what others want. How are you guys doing???

I'm not trying to be racist and single all the lighters out but we all know that in the black community its harder being dark. So im try to gather this circle of brown/dark goodness :) And help us realize its ok. Even if you learn to accept it or are in the process of accepting it like me!!

First of all the Civil war wasnt about slaves. It was about preserving the Union and keeping the New Nation Together. Slaves were an issue, but were not the main issue, so can you people please stop saying blacks need to pay you, if anything it should be the opposite.

Why is it that you have United ***** College Fund, Martin Luther King Day, Black History Month, Cesar Chavaz Day, Ma'uled Al-Nabi, Yom Hashoah, the NAACP, Bet. But if we had a White Pride Day you would call us racists?

Bill O'Reilly took Al Sharpton to a restaurant named Sylvia's and it is black owned. This is what he said about it:

I mean, it was exactly the same, even though it's run by blacks, primarily black patronship," he told listeners. "It was the same, and that's really what this society's all about now here in the U.S.A. There's no difference."

"there wasn't any kind of craziness at all". "There wasn't one person in Sylvia's who was screaming, 'M.F.-er, I want more iced tea.' "

"It was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense that people were sitting there and they were ordering and just having fun,"

do you persecute them when their beliefs differ from yours?

Use this thread to let out a stereotype that you knowingly hold about a particular group. Give support for your stereotype.

I will start.

Asian immigrant women tend to be extremely bad drivers. In the past year, I've nearly crashed my car at least three times because they don't seem to have any idea what they're doing. It seems as though they drive so defensively that they endanger the lives of everyone around them.

[Note: I am a master's student in social work. I have studied the negative effects of stereotypes and overgeneralizations. I still think it's important to be able to vent about group tendencies that we notice which are bothersome to us, because I nearly died today due to another horrible female Asian driver.]

Besides a big butt and big boobs, and anything that has to do with her body and her facial features.

Like her personality etc.

recently heard on the radio an expert on the slave trade call for all western countries involved in slavery to say sorry for these atrocious acts. Now, who beleives we should apologise for them? Bearing in mind that we weren't directly involved or responsible (meaning,us now, 173 years on). Like expecting all modern German people to say sorry for the Nazis.

I mean, what was going on with having to ask with sitting underneath the tree, and what the white kid was supposedly doing was right, but how the hell can someone support 6 teenagers that decided violence was the solution? I know the school systems suck, but i mean, couldn't they at least teach something better than that?

They're always talking about them, giving them names. You could check some online forums. Their topics it's always ****** this or ****** that. it's crazy!! I mean, i don't see other groups acting like that. I think it's one of the reason why some people are reluctant to trust them because basically they're two-face people. I know there are exceptions(Thank god for that) but i bet it's only a small number. Can't we just get along for godsakes?!

black? Egypt is on the continent of Africa but the Egyptian people are not black nor do they resemble African blacks in any way. To me it is like saying that the Spanish must look like Germans or the Italians must look like the Irish because they are all from Europe. These groups are extremely diverse in both appearance and culture. This all makes no sense to me.

I don't know what I have done to you, whatever it is I am sorry. All I do is go to work, come home cook dinner, go out to pay some bills, come back home and sleep most of the time. I know you all have statistics of blacks doing everything wrong and all that other stuff. I don't contribute to your negative govt. stats about blacks but you have some reason to hate me anyway.

Whatever I did so wrong towards you I apologize for it.

Your so angry and hateful towards me yet I have never done anything wrong towards you personally. So you take it upon your self to treat me badly because of my features. Again whatever it is I have done I am sorry for it.

I just thought keeping to myself would avoid getting all of you so angry but apparently I have done something so wrong that you have to treat me wrong without even knowing my name.

Here is a tissue if it makes you feel any better. Do you want me to write a personaly apology to each and everyone of you so you can get over your hate?

What wrong with Africans and Black Americans why they hate our skin color for. We are human-beings to, these things makes me so sad when these people of Asian decent or Russians people hate us bc are skin color.

Sometimes I talk to God at night are talk to myself an ask Why Why did you made Human-beings, Why is it so hard for us blacks. Then I say well you made ppl of diffrent colors/race.

Tell you the turth I really don't like Asian ppl bc They don't like us an they always look up to Whites. Every race/Ethnic people always think whites are the best an gods and then hate blacks bc our skin color.
