military or other worthy professions; should we stop women leering at them and allow them instead to get on with a proper job of work without interference?

If I am paying them to sit around government housing and have kids I should at least have litter free highways. We should break this cycle any way we can. If we make it easy and comfortable for them to abuse the system of course they will.

I'm not going to lie, I've had some shaky experiences with black women growing up and some still to this day. So maybe that's why I don't find black women very attractive. I lean towards Hispanic women as far as what I find attractive. I feel kind of guilty about it though, because I know all black women aren't as bad as the ones that gave/give me a hard time. It kind of feels like I'm being racist against my own kind. Am I wrong for feeling this way?

I'm Afro-Caribbean living in England so I am not African-American. It was only through the internet that I found out about this watermelon stereotype used for Black people. Apparently we all love watermelon. Did this stereotype come from America because I've never heard of it until about a year ago.
To me it's like saying "Chineese people love apples" I just don't get it. Everyone eats apples. What's so special about apples? How can this be a stereotype?
Some stereotypes I can understand a little bit but not this one. How did it come to be?

I'll use sports as an example. When the NBA was all white the league had certain rules. Then along comes Wilt Chamberlain, and nobody could stop him. The 3 sec. rule followed. But that didnt stop what was happening, eventually the league became almost all Black. So along comes new rules. Zone defense used to be illegal, but in order to make the new European players competetive they allow zone defense now. The reason: Dirk Nowinski is too slow to guard the likes of Kevin Garnett. Before the rule change someone like Allen Iverson would regularly drop 50 points on the likes of Steve Nash and Jason Williams. Zone defense makes matchups irrelevant and allows players who are weak on defense to stay on the floor.

Do you think rules are adopted in general life that have this affect?

With the exception of a lack of ocular melanin and melanin in the hair what features are rightly attributed to caucasians alone.

I am asking about frame of reference, because when I see a person with, for example, then lips or an equine nose. Those are not, in my opinion, "caucasian features." They are thin lips and an equine nose.

Would there be an equal backlash if she was endorsing Hillary?

Some of her fans on her web-site say they are turning against her because she is putting black against white by endorsing Obama. But Obama almost never mentions race in his campaign. He mentions it less than even Clinton or Edwards who both spoke out on the Jena 6 case while Obama sat silent for the most part.

I wonder if any of her fans considered the fact that Obama is the senator from Oprah HOME STATE.

So what is with the backlash?

I mean no offense here, but as far as I can see, only some of them still survive til now (being used widely, both formal & informal), some of them are "saree" for Indians & "baju kurung" for Malays. What happen to "kimono" for Japanese?, "gowns" for Western?

For what reasons would you say it is a great or not so great country. Ranging from, say, living standards, politics, constitutional matters (how democratic is it really?), economy, and social areas, or anything else.
