It doesn't matter the question- it is all across the board.. but I have come across very nasty responses by international members that are SO closed minded when it comes to any answers by Americans... Without merit...I think it is very wrong, and offensive. As self absorbed they call us - they don't realize they are doing the same thing by making snap judgements about an entire group...

David and I have been hanging out for a couple months now. He is white and I'm mixed.

He made a comment the other day about "*******" I was so shocked that I did not say anything at the time.

I really like this guy but I don't know if I can look past it.

Can you be arrested for being a racist, in Canada? I was wondering if a white person said n*g*a to a black person, could that black person tell the police and get the white person jailed, in Canada?

The Sabbath day for the Jewish people i supposed to be holy. But in the Talmud they say that there are esceptions only to act for the benefit of the community. Why do you think these exceptions were made for the benefit of the community?

Did you know that the Nubians ruled Egypt for a number years? The Nubians came from modern day Sudan and they were a Black people. I did a project on this once and my professor said it was a controversial subject. Its controversial because who wants to hear a powerful civilization was run by Blacks?

Some great Egyptians rulers like Queen Tiye and even her son Amehotep had black in them. Amenhotep married Nefertiti.

Black people came from a great roots-we need to rememeber this!

I'm a black guy who chills with a whole bunch of races (im from California, alot of us are like that) But i feel like sometimes i either have to hang with my white friends, and be the only black guy, or hang with my black friends with no white ppl around.

Does anyone else experience the same and why do you think its like this?

Is there something that you feel strongly about? Your passion, an interest in something or an issue.

Please read fully before you reply.
At least five former presidents of the United States had Black people among their ancestors. If one considers the fact that European men far outnumbered European women during the founding of this country, and that the rape and impregnation of an African female slave was not considered a crime, it is even more surprising that more former presidents could not be documented with having Black ancestors. The president’s names include Thomas Jefferson, Andrew Jackson, Abraham Lincoln, Warren Harding, and Calvin Coolidge.
The best case for Black ancestry is against Warren G. Harding, our 29th president from 1921 until 1923. Harding himself never denied his ancestry. Black ancestors were identified among both parents of President Harding. Harding's only academic credentials included education at Iberia College, which was founded in order to educate fugitive slaves.
More to come. I just think that it should be recognised in our childrens history books

Explain that double standard to me oh wise vegetarians...................... Death is clearly a part of life; there is no lifeform on earth that does not benefit off of the process of death. Many fungi live off of the flesh off dead carcasses. Animals kill their prey in the wild to survive; do you suggest they go on vegetarian diets? We, as humans, are doing what comes naturally to us.
Also, eating meat greatly expanded the brain size of homosapiens; the added protein gave us extra strength and intelligence. If you look at our teeth, they are clearly omnivorous. Noticed how sharp our back fangs are? Is it not that way for a reason?

Was Thomas Jefferson the first black president?
Are there any books I could read on this?
Does the white house cover this up? Wouldnt this suggest the white house is racist?

Why are people so hateful toward other people. This is my first time coming into the culture section of YA and I have to say that the questions and answers that are here have hurt me personally on so many levels. Why does it matter the pigmentation of someones skin color? What does that have to do with them being a HUMAN!!!!!!!!??????? Seriously what is going on!!!!!

Why is this section in particular overrun by all these trolls? I've answered questions in other sections and they dont have half the probelms the cultures section does.

I feel bad for whomevers pictures some of these trolls use in their avatars-its always some unsuspecting Black person.

Yahoo tries to cut down on this but all the troll do is open up another account and keep doing the same thing.
