I don't understand about this Country, People we are not black ok. I just wish us African-Americans stop saying we are black and plus we are not African-American either because Africa is not a country. We come in diffrent shades of "Brown" not Black. So how are skin tone is Black? Yes, Some of us do have skin tone that look almost black but it's not!

I hate that word "Black" and "African-American"! I say we are mix race or "Brown people"

Here's my question:
If a white person says the he/she has black friends and is not racist, black people hate this, and immediately think that you ARE racist, and you are lying or something.
This is something that most white people don't understand about you. When we say this, we are merely pointing out proof that we are NOT racist and don't care what color you are, otherwise we wouldn't be friends.
Do you understand this about us? Why is this so misunderstood between black & white people?
Please no stupid or racially provoked answers.
-Thnx

To me it's like white people hating their own ethnicity or culture. Weird...

Why is it alright to separate children by gender (all girls school/all boys school) and religion (catholic school) and sexual preference (in New York we have a High school for gay and lesbian kids) but not by race.
I am not suggesting we have all black, white or Asian schools but if we did what would the difference be?
People I know who send their kid to an all girls school say its because the girls are more comfortable and less distracted.....Well one could argue that being with people of their own race makes them more comfortable and less distracted..Any thoughts?

The Australians are the worst. Always saying how good there country is and how good the weather is and how lousy we are at cricket and how they want independence and how they hate the monarcy. God they can whinge. The Americans, They are so much in our shadow that you can't see thhem, always telling the world that if it was'nt for them etc etc. Always trying to put us down in there films, They have one serious complex. Then theres the French, Lets not go there with them. When is everybody outside of the UK going to realize that England is the center of the world? It has been for the last five hundred years and will be for the next five hundred. In war we have beaten or occupied almost every country so what have we got to prove now? What do you want? our blood? We are the greatest nation that the world has ever seen and nobody Isay nobody will ever come close. They cant. Stand up all you non believers and argue the point, Lets see if you have the bottle.

I'm just asking a simple question and I'm not offensive. Do give me an answer; It's either African, Asian or Blond. Do not say "It depends" or "All are pretty." Just give me *an* answer will do good. Thanks! =)

I deal with business people as part of my job and I believe supermarket managers are the lowest form of life on this planet.
Why are they that way, is their job that stressfull or what?

Does anyone feel as flabbergasted by the miscommunication between whites and blacks? Just the lack of understanding, the ignorance from both sides. Are there people who really genuinely want to do something about it?

I've noticed on dating websites that the majority of the women on there are given a choice on what race they're looking for. A great deal of them check "Caucasian/White" instead of "Any" or "Doesn't matter." When I read some of their profiles and they seem like a good person, I may want to say a quick hello or something like that. But then I'll see that they're looking for Caucasian/White guys only.
It's like, "wham! I'm automatically disqualified" before she even knows who I am. I'm an Asian American and I am just as "Americanized" as any other Caucasian person. The ONLY difference is my physical appearance. I don't understand because I'm open to all races; it's WHO the person is that matters.
What are your thoughts about the race thing on dating sites?

okay, so tell me your opinion of racism. Do you think that is is still racism, when blacks make fun of whites, or other minorities making fun of or discriminating against majorities? Also tell me what you think about girls being able to say bad things about guys, but if a guy says a bad thing about a girl it is sexism. If you have any other views, questions or comments on racism, let me know, I'm been wondering this for a while.

also, do you think that it is right that scholerships from the government can be offered specifically to first nations? I mean there would be a huge deal made about it if it was offered to a majority, like to all whites, or to all non- first nations,... thanks...

Have you ever thought that there isnt such a thing as the concept of time and that its just us that invented it? I honestly dont think theres any such thing as "growing" older, but instead that one of you exist multidimensionally per literally every second of the day and the memories of the other ones of you are just uploaded to make it feel as if it was actually you that carried out those actions.

NO ONE is an individual I feel, but we are one of many different ones of us. The 1 year old one of you still exist, the 2 year old, the 3, and the 60 year old all at the same time.

Does anyone get what Im saying and do you agree?

I am. People who get it usually have poor self esteem and hate the way they look. But plastic surgery usually makes them look worst. look at Michael Jackson for example. People should learn to love what makes them different. Whats your opinion??

But when they talk of other races who are not white, the other races get a special title like Blacks = African, Browns= Mexicans or Latinos, Yellows= Asians, Reds= Indians. Should the "whites" play this game to? Germans, Russians, English, Italian, Greek, the list goes on.

why was it not slavery but freedom and the nation that "all men are created equal" that created a moral contradiction in colonial american, and how did race help resolve that contradiction?

What are some ways that race has been used to rationalized inequality?
and how has race been used to shift attention(and responsibility away from opressors and towards the target of opression)?
