My shoe was stuck in a big piece of gum that someone just decided to spit onto the sidewalk the other day, and it was stuck very well...so well, in fact, that I could not get out of this sticky situation alone. I had to ask strangers for help for about 30 minutes before one was kind enough to help me.

How do you ask for help when this happens to you? Is there a trick to find help quicker than I did?

I am wondering just in case this ever happens to me again.

Is the world getting racist against whites?
Example 1:Whenever a black college springs up, everyone's all happy and everything, but if there's an all-white college, Jesse Jackson and the entire world is on ur @$$.

Example 2:If a black person calls a white person a cracker or w/e, then nothing happens, but when a white person calls a black person a monkey or w/e then they get arrested or something.

I mean, c'mon people i thought that we got over that whole thing in the 1940's. Black people still act like they're all still underprivledged u no and everyone makes a big deal about "black rights". there aren't any "white rights". who gives a crap about black or white rights? shouldn't it be human rights? seriously. i know that there is going to be a lot of answers accusing me of being a racist ***** or watever but guess what? i'm not! i'm very open minded, and am very anti racism. it's a serious question and i really do want serious answers.

I have a nephew who is rather shy he is 19 years old and is going off to college. Being shy and also being below average size (although I don't quite get the size thing, I'm below average size and it never bothered me) he is nervous that people will bully him physically and emotionally in college. I tried to explain to him that I don't think it will happen. Can anyone tell me if they think bullying occurs a lot in college and what my nephew's risks are? Details a school of about 1500 students and a relatively small campus.

This was a scenario from last semester (January) at my college. Not only this, but in one hand she was talking on her cell phone, in the other she had a cigarette. What the hell is wrong with teens these days? What exactly was she advertising? What is she hoping to accomplish? How was she making the most of her life? Was she REALLY at school to educate herself?
It seems to me that most of them (teens) would happily sacrifice their brain cells in order to advertise their hormone levels.
Another scenario…A teen boy driving his Camaro through the parking ot with ALL FOUR windows rolled down, playing heavy metal hate music so loud you could hear it across campus. And it was eight degrees outside. What was he accomplishing? What was he proving? Was he REALLY at college to educate himself? Or was he just showing how small his penis is?

You ever hear a phrase that, if you understood the whole conversation, makes perfect sense? But if the phrase were taken out of context it would sound really strange?

Yesterday I actually heard someone say “I don’t care if it is their mating season I need them both out from under the wagon.”

Please share one of your ‘now that’s something you don’t hear every day’ phrases with us.

Why am I a level 2? I just wanna be me..appreciated for who I am, where I'm from, and my whole perspective on life. Why must I be slotted into a level? I'M MORE THAN THAT!!!!!!! Thats why, when I get to level 3, I am going to write Yahoo, and tell them that I don't want to be level 3! They can keep their level 3! Level 3 is just like level 2 to me because I'm still just me. No, just kidding! You level one guys really suck! Come on, what are you lazy or something? JOIN THE CHURCH OF CHEWBACCA! We can show you the way my child!

I like to randomly offer to babysit a couple's kids so they can go out to dinner together (usually for the first time in months). Or I find out what their favorite food is and bring it to them when they least expect it.
What can you think of?

I’ve heard so many White Americans ask this question. As an African American, honestly, it doesn’t bother me at all. I just see it as another word. But, please allow me to give you some insight on why it bothers other people. First, I must say I believe that most White Americans who ask this question are more so the ones who tend to be in denial about the racial history of America. You must keep in mind how the word is associated with White Americans – and I say White Americans because I’ve traveled and noticed that Europeans are not half as racial as Americans, Black or White. Their history is different. Racism was just a small part of Europe’s history, where as America was founded on racism. Racism was woven into the very foundation of America, that’s why it’s such a big issue in America where as it’s not such a big issue in many other countries. They do have it, but not to the extent of America. Many other countries learn their racism from American Media. Ask the average foreigner, they’ll tell you. So, why can’t we use the N-Word? - Because it’s your initial association with the word and the constant racism that still goes on in America keeps that negative association of the word fresh. Young African American Men have created a different meaning for the word amongst themselves and when used could simply mean: my homey; my buddy; a guy; a man; etc, etc, etc. For example, the Rapper Eminim, although he is White, he’s associated as a Rapper, and his use of the N – Word is associated with the Hip Hop community, but not as a White American. Please share your thoughts and ideas.
