Im not ignorant at all and those type of characteristics dont apply to me. Im just think it is crazy that black people cannot unite. Some of us remain so divided by skin color and physical characteristics? Its so sad considering our history, we have came a very long way but it seems like we have such a long way to go. What's with the light skin/dark skin thing? What is this the dividing factor amongst others?

I answered a question and used the word "redneck", and was "reported", yet on another question several people used the word "hillbilly" to describe a name.... How are the two words different? How did I violate anything, but "hillbilly" doesn't???

And before you get off your rockers, it's a figure of speech.... I don't use ethnic or racial slurs. I grew up in a town that I consider "redneck".... doesn't mean I have to like it. It just means I know of what I speak.

The impression I have of black french people are africans. My cousin says there are not many other races of black people (afro-caribbbean or afro-american) other than africans in France, because they already know the language and other races are lazy to learn a language. I would just like to know if that is the case. (My cousin is white and I am black and we often have discussions like this so don't worry if it sounds slightly racist. She would have to have a screw loose to be racist with the amount of black people in her family and friends lol)

If every liberal in the world acctually did what they think everyone else should do, would it solve all the worlds problems. And I mean just the liberals. As we all know, liberals say people shouldnt use oil and electicity in excess. But most of them do. What if all liberals acctually did walk to work, washed their clothes by hand, grow their own food, cut their own hair, didnt use electricity at all, etc.... Ill bet that alone would eliminate our need for forigen oil. All the polls say that about half of all Americans if not more, are liberals.

I don't know about everyone else, but have you ever noticed how actors who are not English are made to speak in "received pronunciated" a.ka. "R.P." English in historical-type dramas? If you aren't "English", is this offensive to you? I'm especially aiming this question to folks who are of G.B., but not English. Or better yet, even if the movie takes place in Ancient Rome/Greece this accent is used. What's the deal?

Why is there so much arguing about race on here? Does anyone ever actually change anybody's mind? Why do so many of you spend all day on here, growing a tumor over this crap? Wouldn't it make more sense to go out and make a real difference in your community?

It seems like the most inflammatory racists on here just do it for fun anyway, and enjoy getting a rise out of people. Why else would they keep coming back with the same d*mn screen name? They're a waste of time and energy.

Do you feel a certain sence of pride and/or triumph when someone from your race accomplishes something big? For example, when someone becomes the first Latino or Asian to do or become something. Or when you find out an African- American or Native-American invented something.

On the flip side of that do you feel embarrased or personally offended when someone of your race does something hugely and publicly horrible?

I know this doesn't apply to everyone, but I just want a reasonable (if that could ever happen) answer that I can comprehend. Most of us are NO WHERE NEAR the way we are portrayed on television. Racists (with some sort of brain) are welcome to answer...

Humans naturally fear what they dont understand or what is different there is no argument over this. my point is what is more diffrent and more strange than skin colour an white and black i wonder if racism is inbuilt into us, and why it bothers some more than others

I would like to know because I see many interracial couples and it is usually with a black man. Does many women of other races find them atrractive and desirable? I always see men from other races that are gorgeous, but I dont desire them. (BTW, the stereotype of black men is not true ; )

I think it can be beautiful. Blond girl should allways dominate and put her hand over any other girl´s mouth who isn´t blonde. It is a good way of showing who is ruling, the leader and who is more popular than others. And it is fair to everyone. And especially beautifull from the man´s point of view. What do you think?

there sense of humor is equal to that of a book keeper or an accountant, why can't they just relax with themselves and enjoy life a lot more by laughing at themselves now and then and not be so serious about every little thing?

we started watching a movie about a teacher who helps inner city school kids. Once she realises what movie it is she gets up and says:

She says....I am sick of movies made about white teachers saving poor black kids. Then goes to her bedroom.

This movie was a true story. There are stories about black school teachers helping kids too. The first I know about is one where Sidney Potier plays a teacher in a school of all white kids. There was another one where a black principle completely turned his school around where both black and white kids attend.

I don't understand how this educated woman would say such a thing in my presence.

Her sister flew over and spent a couple of nights with us. One of those nights we were watching a black comedian saying ***** this and ***** that and I was offended but they were laughing and ....they were also laughing at the racial jokes he was telling about WHITE FOLKS and Crackers.

Seems we praise single moms alot for all the hard work they do and thats good and all but does this encourage these situations. Its impossible to know if a relationship will work out or not but if you are with a guy who wants nothing to do with a child that he fathered then you have a absolutely terrible judge of character and must have took him to the bed for just how cute he was.
