Last week while officer "Rodney Johnson" of the Houston Police Department was being layed to rest and six high school girls were being molested by a dementend gunman , T.O. made the breaking news? First of all who gives a **** about "T.O."? And why did the liberial networks pick him over a real hero and innocent victims of a gunman to cover first as breaking news? I think the Dallas Cowboys wasted their money on this clown and he's T.O. as usual, whatda piece of ****!

I'm only 15! And yet i'm active about things like the enviroment. poverty, and politics. I set up a charity fund for the Pakistan Earthquake victims at my school a year ago, but it only yeilded 42 dollars. Can't people give a little more? I gave five dollars myself and if everyone else had, we would have earned thousands. I also wrote a letter to the school to see if we could start recycling bottles and cans that were going in the trash at the moment. It's been a month and I've gotten no response. The kids who don't care would probably keep throwing recyclables in the trash anyway. Bad stuff keeps happening. Hurricanes, tsunamis, epidemics, and rich stuck-up people who don't care a sh*t about it all. Should I just give up?

Okay - I think political correctness has gone waay too far with this one. There is a drive up ATM machine at a Chase bank that has an audio function for visually impaired people. It also has braille on it. Why would a visually impaired person be driving in the first place? Do you think this is just plain stupid and totally overboard like me?

I have assimilated into the white culture to avoid feeling like an outcast. Fortunately I don’t look black so I am accepted by many more whites than most black people. Being a black female is the worst because no one wants you. I have separated myself from most of the black culture because it has become so bad that it is almost destroying itself with the violent, ignorant, destructive characteristics. I am a Tom, so be it. I don’t watch BET or participate in any of the black programs because I don’t want to be viewed as a certain race. I fight the concept of race everyday, but sometimes it seems like a losing battle…
It hurts so much sometimes…

First of all, I'm so tired of white people whining about programs for minorities. We get these programs because we are MINORITIES. This country is mostly composed of whites; therefore almost everything is made in their favor. Caucasians don't need organizations. You guys dominant politics, own nearly all of the country, decide what we learn in schools and colleges, etc. You guys already have this country made in your image so what else do you want?

Why the heck do you need your own channel like BET? You are on every channel day and night!!! When I turn on my television all I see is white people. Most of the movie stars are white, and there is a horrible bias in Hollywood. Most black movie stars are overlooked by casting directors because no one wants to see black main stars on film. Very few black stars exist; this is obvious because you always see the same ones in movies. Will Smith, Martin Laurence, Samuel L. Jackson, and how many freaking movies has Morgan Freeman appeared in?

My boyfriend just asked me how it is to be black. After dating me he learned how difficult it really is to be a minority. He tells me all the time how bad he feels for me, but how much better he is treated for being a white male. He always sympathizes with me and tells me he could never understand what it is like to see your race ignored for just about everything. None of these programs even begin to elevate the status of blacks in this country anyway. There is so much ground to be risen, and it is a hard and long journey through the feelings of inadequacy and self-loathing. Most blacks will lie about how they feel about being black, but I will be honest in saying that we all feel inadequate sometimes. Why wouldn't we?


As a child when I watched Disney movies or fairy tales, I always hated myself because I wasn't a beautiful white girl. My hair was nappy and short, not blonde, straight, and long. My eyes were brown not blue or green. No one wants you, and you lose hope in ever being able to be equal. People don't view you as equal, but only different. You have no idea what it is like to be a young child and know that you won’t be picked to be Cinderella because you are not white. Or knowing that white boy you like will never want you because you aren’t white. And knowing that no matter what you do you will never be equal in this society, you will always be somewhat lesser than a white person. Everyone is white but you aren’t and everyone lets you know it.

Also, there is the embarrassing history of blacks and whites cruelty towards them. Remember, not even a generation has passed since blacks were openly lynched without cause or punishment to the whites that did it. Segregation was around when my mother was an adolescent and I'm only 23. Do you know how evil white people were? They killed blacks for no reason at all and watched them suffer for recreation. They gave cocaine to them to make them work harder and then lashed out against them because of the behavior it exhibited. ‘Crazed *****’s attack’ have you guys done any research on the history of racism? There is so much more horror done to the blacks besides slavery. Most people don’t know the entire history and don’t grasp the long-term effects of discrimination and how it affects the moral and position of an entire race. Do you really think that racism still doesn't have an affect on the status of blacks and the mentality of the race? Don't you think we need programs in order to compete in the job market and to gain some freaking self-esteem? Stop saying ‘Get Over It’ because black skin color hasn’t turned white just because the law says we are all equal. You really need to stop taking your race for granted; you don't know how hard it is to be black in a world that only sees in color...

My boyfriend urges me to push on and try and fight the prejudice that even he sometimes has against blacks. It is not worth it to sit and moan about the position you're in. That is why I educate people and try to make the best of what I have been given. Why do you want to take away what little hope we have left for our future?

What are they specifically and why do you believe in them?

I have two:
1. I always touch wood to bring about luck in a future event and to protect me from harm if I fear something. I started doing it in my high school days and have kept doing it because I believe it has worked for me.
2. I always leave a tiny amount of food on my dinner plate. I never completely finish a plate of food. I don't know why I do this or what's behind it psychologically, but I've done it as long as I can remember and it just feels right.

My mother is from Irish descent and has a number of very humourous superstitions, for example:
- Never place new shoes on a table.
- Never cross knives.
- Never open an umbrella indoors.
- Always get out of the same side of the bed each morning.
- Never walk under a ladder.
