My roommate told me that she thought I was snobbish just because I am shy, until she started talking to me then she thought TOTALLY OPPOSITE.

Why do people assume this. I've always wondered why when people see me they automatically assume I'm a snob? My co-worker told me that people where telling her that they think I'm stuck up, WHY? Is there like a certain look or something, I don't know.

It's funny how people are surprised when I tell people off to their face or anything, if they are mistreating me, I will not hesitate to tell you in your face, I'm quiet but blunt.

When I told my grandmother I wasn't an African American at the dinner table I was nearly slapped she got so mad. But what I consider myself is a Black American. My ancestors may have been from Africa, but I am not, nor has anyone in my family for many many generations. I have some friends who are "straight out of Africa" and they get offended when a Black American calls themselves an African American because they aren't. Then you have to consider all the scholarships and other things out there for "African Americans", do they mean all people with brown skin or all African Americans because there are a lot of white Africans who have come to this country to live. Isn't Charlize Theron an African American? Wouldn't a white African American be just as qualified for these things as black African Americans? I think we need to change the term from African American to Black American, or better yet, just American!

From a hypothetical point. Didn't the Devil want to be god? And evil wants to be the center of attention? And blows itself up out of proportion?And makes itself seem SO BIG that We can't do anything about it?
Evil is NOT that big.
For example. They say 500 people, (approx), were killed with handguns in New York City last year. And any loss of Life is tragic. But there are 8,000,000 people in New York City.
Why do we focus on the one person that was rude to us for a minute and let it ruin our whole day? Best to come to grips with the reality of evil, negativity, or whatever you want to call it. And put it in it's place!

For example, if someone says blacks are typically two to three reading levels behind their white counterparts, is that racist or misinformed? Or is saying that homeless white guy must be crazy, they all are...is that racist?

Ok I have noticed that mixed black people, half white, Hispanic, Asian and etc, get mad when they have black features, like nappy hair, big nose and etc.

EXAMPLE
This half Hispanic half black chick i knew, she hated her hair and nose, she was pretty but still it was sad.

I have also noticed that light skinned black people with wavy hair and pointy noses often look down on black people with nappy hair or big nose.

EXAMPLE
My sister is light skinned with wavy hair and a pointy nose, and she often make fun of my curly hair and big nose.

Please do not post racist comments, because i don't feel like erasing this question.

I was driving today when a black female attempted to cut in front of me, she almost ran me off the road. when i honked at her, she became irate, calling me a cracker and stating that she could kill my white ***. now if that was reversed, i would be on the news as a racist.

Im 1/2 mexican and white. Alot of people can tell I have any hispanic and to top things off I dont KNOW any spanish.

My husband and his friend would make alot of racial jokes about hispanic people, mostly Mexicans and it made me uncomfortable but shy me never said anything.

He asked me one time what my background was and it totally caught me off guard so i just said, to see his reaction, that said I was 1/2 Cuban and white. He said that was okay, and went on about how Mexican people were different than other hispanics and no one wants to be Mexican or somethin along those lines. I planned to tell him I was actually 1/2 Mexican but that freaked me out a bit so I just left it at that.

Im not denying my hispanic side, my friends know what I am, its just since that stupid lie I dont want to go back and say "oh that was a lie"...what should I do??? Im a little afraid of his reaction...though I know he loves me more than anything.

The only other time in American History where a non-white person was used in US currency was the buffalo nickel. But he was replaced by Jefferson. The Sacagawea is being replaced by the Presidential $1 coin program. It seems the public doesn’t seem to favor any non-white person on their money. Why is this?
