Interracial Dating, Is there a double-standard?
I have a bone to pick!

Please feel free to answer my question. I am a black woman, with colombian and indian heritage, who dates mostly spanish, italian and other men than black. I own my own car, home, and I have my m.b.a. I'm in great shape, beautiful, long black hair (not weave). I have chosen to date outside of my race, but I never hear the end of it. At my work I get constant sneers and rude comments from black men, about how I am a sell-out. They even approach me, making comments like "You are a beautiful successful black woman, yet you choose to date outside of your race. Why?, they ask me. When I have gone out with my white or spanish boyfriend's in the past, there is alot of stares, comments, and many black men have tried to fight my ex's. I don't understand what the problem is. These same black men, could be with a white woman, or a spanish woman, yet they want to get upset with me or other successful beautiful black women

My girlfriend gets disrespected all the time because she is satinist, she tells me that they believe in Satan as a god who creates nature. but so many don't believe it because of the name. Why is that? My ex is a pagen and people disrespects her too. Why is that? I would like true answers not people telling me that satinist is bad because satin is the devil. thank you for you help if you don't say something stupid or rude, and if you do say something rude then go F off.

they be able to get here from the parking lot where everyone else parks too? In today’s world it incorrect to teat them any different than anyone else in every other aspect of life. They have pushed for these laws and wanting to be treated equal. Well, why do they get these special parking places? I could see having parking spaces up front for older people. They have lived long enough to earn a little consideration. Anyone else feel this way?

I've noticed guys have a tendency to go for desperate, dumb blonde types. Why is this? What about us normal dressing smart girls? Guys opinions would really help here.

. i mean no border-limits
by doing so, people can move freely and after few decades a homogeneous socity will emerge where there will be no war, these days electronic media has done this borderless work, yet physical bounderies remain. how about if they too are dissolved for peace.

why do you think that, that is more abundant than the other. How can we stop it. DO you think reducing one will make reducing the other easier?

so i want to be a rockstar, but with a face made for radio, a voice made for silent films, & less talent than the majority of "guitar hero" players, i figure i'm pretty sh!t outa luck.
that's where YA comes in handy, i can have countless other losers tell me that if i work hard, & sh!t like that, i can do anything!
so flatter me, please.

I'd like to act, but when I go to an audition I get embarrassed because I feel like I'm over-exaggerating and then don't do as well. Also, I tend to say stupid things around the guys I like. I need help, experienced answerers!

I understand that some people considered the fetus a life and things like that but if a women chooses to abort her child for whatever reason in Oregan how does it affect you where ever you live? Also for people who say there are millions of people who would like to adopt, or can't have children why don't they adopt children in the orphange first? Those children need homes too. Is it fair to impose your personal morals and beliefs unto somone else? How would you feel if someone tries to make you do something you don't want to? Serious answers only please.

Do people like watching murder stories or something? This is sick and too much!

So why pollute the entertainment with stories of murder even a little bit?

What rights do you have when a bill collector calls you to get payment for a bill. This is the story I owe $340 to a doctor that I am fight with my insurance to pay because I was refered to the doctor while I was pregnant. I am now not working and so I can not pay the bill my self and I don't want my childrens father to pay it when he is paying everything eles(house payment, car payment, even Christmas alone). Today a collection agency called me and the woman treated me as if I was a childshe could scream at (if she screamed at one of my children the way she screamed at me I would have her put in jail for abuse). I was harassed verbal by this woman and then when I asked for her manager I was further harassed by her and then transfered to a man the wanted to know nothing about the harassment and all about when I could pay the bill I told him I only need another month and I would pay it in full if the insurance didn't but I wanted to know what he would do about the woman
