How many people think that this is true? I was born and raised in the south and recently moved to the tri-state area i.e Paramus, Wayne, Nyc and I have experienced more racism here than in the deep woods of the south. i.e. Miami, Jacksonville,Birmingham, Atlanta, Nashville, the Caorlinas. And honest to God in these areas the people arent rich so I know that It isnt a social bias cause they own 2 family homes and have some stranger living with them. However when I visit more affluent areas the people are nice and I dont feel that stare. For example I went to the Library in a middle class suburb of Jersey and some of the "caucasians" were looking at myself as well as my bi-racial baby cousins very funny and asking us If we lived there... And note that I said some because Im not some Black person who thinks that all white folks are out to get me. I love everyone... but I am just curious because I have this debate often and wanted some outside input. SO is there more racism up north?

What a rotten day I was having. Then wouldn't you know it? The mail man came and brought me a card for a FREE Chipotle Burrito AND a card for a FREE Victorias Secret Panty. Can life really get any better than this?

I am 100% Black american *****! lol. And yes I was born and raised in the "Hood" but I am far from ghetto! Why do people equate the two? There are plenty of folks who work everyday to get their familes out of the hood. Many succeed and many don't but non the less they produce children who know how to interact with other cultures and who aren't oblivious to the fact that just because I say I'm Harlem people expect for me to pull out a shank and cut them over my babies daddy!

I went to McDonald's for lunch today and the kid at the window kept asking me if I was sure I didn't want to super size my meal. Why did he keep asking me that? =(

Why can't we criticize them? Why are they so protected? Why is anti-semite such a bad thing to be?

I'm also afraid to date a white person because I fear that they might click on me if they were to get mad at me and call me the n word

i rareely go to clubs coz im afraid of going alone, donno y, well im shy.i dont have alot of friends, the only friends i got are friends that i talk to once in a while,just to catch up and thats it.alot of chics approach me coz i think they are fascinated by my looks but once they talk to me and they see how i am (shy and not too interestin),some of them loose interest.in other words,im trying to find a way of being more courageous and approaching people easily without worrying about what they thinkin of me.any ideas???please dont tell me just to walk up to people and kick-start a conversation coz thats easier said than done in my situation.

I don't understand why people hate fat people. They are made fun of, teased and often thought of as stupid. I just don't get why being overweight is such a big deal to others. It doesn't affect the other persons' life so why torture with the name calling. Kids are the worst. If you are overweight how do you feel? If you are the name caller, why do you do this?
