Other - Cultures & Groups - October 2007

I have lived in the midwest all my life and next year I will be moving down south for college. Either North Carolina or South Carolina, depending on which school I get accepted into. Will I be in for a culture shock. Many time I have heard that the northerners are usually the outsiders on campus. Can someone give me some insight?

Why do so many black men worship and lust after non-black women or black women that look mixed?
Especially dark skin men!! Look at the our so called network nothing but non-black women and light skin women on the shows. All the videos have only European looking black women with long "good hair", light skin and light eyes. Is that the only thing that is beautiful to many black men? Our women are BEAUTIFUL in all shades and ALL hair types so stop being so brainwashed and stupid!!!

First of all please no ignorant answers, I am truly curious. This morning I heard on the news that a 15 year old boy here in Chicago is being expelled from school for bringing a photo of another student who is topless to the school and showing the other students. Now the family of the boy is suing the school saying that the school expelled their son because he is black. This boy goes to a predominately black school in the inner city but the family still have the nerve to claim it is racism! My thing question is this, is any one else tired of people pulling the race card rather than taking responsibility for their actions? NO IGNORANT BIGGOT RESPONSES PLEASE!

This is the most ridiculous thing I have seen in a while! Isn't there something better to do with all the money that is being wasted for this? Life isn't always fair! The funny thing about equality is that it will NEVER exist! You may think I'm cold and heartless but I think I'm realistic! What do you think?

What is racism? I think it’s simply an economically driven phenomenon. If the other races present are in number, enough to influence the economy of that country, intolerance (read it racism) is bound to be there.

Yeah. What do you guys think? My brother said that as the generations go by, the people get a little smarter, but a little shorter at the same time. I looked into this by looking at the people around my school.

The current people in my grade are just a little shorter than that of the people that were in my grade last year in my school. And I believe that one time before I've heard the principal say that my grade had the highest average GPA than last year's.

It's not much evidence since it's only a small portion of people I mention. What do you guys think?

Could it be true that as the generations go by, people become shorter and smarter?

How can they say that Hitler was an atheist when he has gone on the record making these statements:

"National Socialism and religion cannot exist together" (1941)

"The heaviest blow that ever struck humanity was the coming of Christianity." (1941)

"Let it NOT be said that Christianity brought man the life of the soul, for that evolution was in the natural order of things." (1941)

"Christianity is an invention of sick brains: one could imagine nothing more senseless." (1941)

"We'll see to it that the Churches cannot spread abroad teachings in conflict with the interests of the State." (1941)

Also, Hitler told Hermann Rauschnig that he inten"to stamp out Christianity root and branch." (1933)

He also said: "One is either a Christian or a German -you cannot be both"

So why do people still say he was an atheist?

Sadly our society teaches no values & morals whatsoever & has made it hard for parents to disipline their children the right way. I blame alot of that on today's parent(not all mind you) who seem to care more about wanting to work or caring about their own pleasures than about their own children. It's disgusting when i walk down the streets & see how 11 yr old girls are dressed when they go to school. I mean my god! parents allow their kids to go out looking as if they belong in a street corner instead of going to school? Kids be swearing & cursing in public. Kids as young as 10 are in the streets as late as 3am. Who else can u blame for that than the irresponsibilty of today's parent? Schools have also failed our kids & now allow the students instead of the teachers run the classroom. Society teaches us that it's ok for kids to get condoms in School but yet wrong to talk about values & morals & teaching them right from wrong.

Why do some whites feel like they have to go out of their way to prove they are not racists?

Is being a racist the default position for white people, and only a select few of them somehow become educated enough to do away with their racist ideas and beliefs?

(Disclaimer: This question is not directed at any entire group of people. Readers should not assume that the questioner is looping all people of a certain group into any particular stereotype. Any confusion on this matter should be directed to the question in the form of a question before jumping to conclusions.)

I think I will have to use this disclaimer from now on because too many of you are hypersensitive and try to find ways to accuse people of making swooping generalizations when they are not.

It is so ignorant and naiive to pre-judge someone from their place of residence. I understand the South has its "culture" but this type of attitude is what makes people from elsewhere think southerners are stupid and foolish.
