even since the times of slavery up until now, black men have always faced more discrimination and were even lynched more than black women. Even in today' s job market, a black woman is more likely to get hired over a black man if there were a choice to be made between the two. Why is this so? I am just curious.

I am partially sighted and use a symbol cane to let others know this. My eyesight is ok when looking straight ahead, but my pereferal vision (side vision) is almost none existant.

Most people manage to avoid bumping into me apart from women pushing prams and men in suits with their hands glued to their ear.

My question is this, why do you think this is so?

I don't need a support system
Lifting me into prop position
What I need is a man of action
I need my attraction to you
Driving me down all those dangerous avenues
Lions and tigers tearing at their food

I know the gossip flies around at breakfast
One of them reins is in your hand
Where do you get the **** off thinking I was there at the party
'Cause all my friends feed me the evil reasons
Why you and I should not be friends?
Let's think this whole thing through
Tell me, just what the hell is a lover supposed to do?
I got the wrong reaction, a slap in the face from you

This is such a stupid picture
Wrap me in a steak
Why don't you throw me in the panther cage
And maybe then I'll like you better
(No way!)

I don't need a support system
Lifting me into prop position
What they make is a separation of beauty from attitude
What satisfaction is left when all you do
Tells everyone you're acting untrue?

This is such a stupid picture
Light a cigarette
Why don't you stub it in the carborateur
And maybe then you'll sell me something
(No way!)

I don't need a support system
Put your hand on my heart and listen
What I need is a dedication to last me all the way through
Pointing the finger, I'm counting on loving you
Over and above the passion
I'm connected to you

ok so this was actually brought up by my english teacher it was something like this.....

A black person can say...I want to live in a black neighborhood where there are people the same race as me, that like the food i like, that play the sports i play, that listen to the music i listen to and we dont really call that racism

BUT.....

If a white person says I want to live in a white neighborhood where there are people the same race as me, that like the food i like, that play the sports i play, that listen to the music i listen to we call them racists

Is that not messed up?

Humanitarianism started around the time of the renaissance as an idea form. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but not many vegitarians make it their life goal to celebrate the accomplishments of vegetables. And not many humanitarians adhere to a strict diet of humans, now do they?

you may meet a lot of people everyday but you could never tell if they are thugs or not but there must be signs or beacons that point to their class, so the question is how to recognize them and do they interfere in other people's lives and what are the essintial precautions to stay away from this kind of people considering that i knew some thugs but i never gone too much near them .

The North Africans are Arabs, which means they are Caucasian. If you are judging all of North Africa by current Egypt you are wrong because the Egyptians who built Ancient Egypt are extinct and were arab.

We have lived in our apartment now since February of 2006. The whole building has pretty much become new neighbors. All of them are much better than the ones we had, except, of course, the jerk-offs above us that pplay their bass all hours of the night. The day they moved in they asked us if we knew how to get some illegal substance for them, which was a bad sign to us right off the bat. We told them we have a premature child and don't have anything to do with that kind of stuff. Now they play this horrible music with the same, monontonous tone over and over again. I took my screaming baby up there after 3 hours of the stuff the other day and knocked on their door and rang their doorbell and they didn't come to the door but I could hear them walking around our bedroom ceiling, so I knew they were home. Mind you, my baby is on a heart and respiratory monitor and is preemie. The office pretty much won't do **** and I am going to lose my **** soon. How do I keep myself out of jail????????
