I guess cause white kids have embraced another cultures. Wearing pants down to your knees or whatever's a style. Packing a gun isn't. I wouldn't worry about what other people are wearing. Black people use the n word cause they can. Other races aren't permitted cause its known they can't, why is not important. Sometimes people freak out cause they have been robbed b4. That may have been it. I don't agree with interracial relations. I think having children that are part black and part white makes it hard on the child. Look at the white kids just pretending to be black when they are white and the looks they get from it. Why do that to a kid? Why can't everyone get a long? Because of old stupid people that are set in their ways and cannot accept change even when change benefits everyone!

You're answer to 1 is because they are trying to be part of some in crowd - just like in the 80's everyone was preppy, the 90s was grunge, now we have hip hop.
2- Simply because they have no idea how offensive this word is. They think they are being "gangsta" when actually they are being offensive.
3- This is just someone's simple stupidity. The color of skin doesn't determine how a person is, and the manager was just falling for stereotypical behavior.
4 - No I don't think it's wrong. You don't choose who you love, and love is color blind. Personally, we're all the same color on the inside, so why should the wrapping matter?
I can't say I love everyone, because truly that would be misleading. I try to be kind and patient, but mostly the stupidity brings me down. However, I don't judge someone by they color of their skin, the look of their face, the size of their body or by the clothes they wear. What matters to me is the depth of their soul, their ability to expand their mind, and their behavior.
The reason everyone doesn't think this way is because they were raised to believe certain things, or they have adopted some adverse behaviors to certain people (ie Muslims are bad because they blow stuff up). People choose to stereotype because they have to have a way to catagorize people. So if you're this, you have to be this. Anyone that doesn't fall into a catagory is something they just can't deal with.
I have to say I like your attitude, it's refreshing to see someone who's appaled by the amazing stupidity in the world. Good for you!

this is something to think about- how do black people talk? So what your saying is all black people talk the same way? What about Colin Powell and Condoleza Rice? Do they talk like P. Diddy?
I suggest that you turn off BET and Mtv and get some more exposure in the world.
1- the reason why they would probably speak like this is either becuase they think it is cool, or maybe they grew up in an area where they did not speak "proper english". I have pesonally seen white people actually speak "black" as you say and not be putting on an act. See the thing is that many people who grow up in an economically disadvantaged area will speak "black" it does not matter the color of their skin.
2. In the black culture it is normal for other black people to call eachother *****, as a matter of fact, in many sub-cultures like gay and lesbian, it is common to refer to eachother as a derogotory name like fag or ******. Im not saying it is right or wrong it is just what people do.
3. The manager maybe could have been freaking out becuase those were the four men he saw with his daughter in his hot tub last Thursday during the world cup going for their own goals. Or maybe he could of been freaking out because he has fear of the unkown and prescribes to what he sees on television. It is his loss.
4. Why would it be wrong of two people of the human race to get together to have children? It would be better that the children have to loving parents who are of different races then to have two parents of the same color and grow up in a disfunctional household.

Then the world needs more people like you and me. I love people no matter what race or ethnicity they are and I don't know why people see black people as the enemy. It's just racism and the notion that "if you're not white, you're not right."
I hate people who judge others based on their skin colors, etc. I don't understand why people use the "N" word either and why white people use it offensively. So what if a person is black? Does that mean that they're not human?
As for the inter-racial marriages, I have no problem with them. When a man and a woman fall in love and get married, who is to stop them? (I feel the same way for gay marriages) And who is to stop them from having children? (Again, ditto) Nobody can say they are wrong to love and want to have children.

1) White teens think it's cool to talk like black people.
2) Lots of white people say the "n" word, not realizing it makes them look ignorant. This language is part of their upbringing.
3) Apparently, the manager may have either been robbed by black guys prior to your employment, or may just have been having a bad day.
4) No, it is not wrong for people of different races to have children. We are all of diverse backgrounds.
In conclusion, I agree with you about loving everyone except for child molesters and killers. However, everyone does not have the same capacity of understanding.

1. Because pop culture dictates what little dimwits do and how they act.
2. Refer to answer 1
3. Because that's usually how robberies start. More than one coming in looking around. Let me ask you, did they keep glancing up at the front counter?
4. Yes, for the kid's sake. My sister had a child that is half mexican. White people accept her more than the mexicans do, except the little boys who just want a peice of ***. If people of different races want to be married, more power to them, just get fixed. Think of someone else besides just yourself.
And one last pointer. How can you say you love someone you haven't met? Love is like hate. Unless you know the person and what they stand for, it's a mute feeling. It's meaningless.

1.I don't think a white person 'acts black' they are trying to be what they think is cool, which may be P.Diddy.
2.People who call black people the N word are just ignorant and they are racist they just don't admit it.
3.People are afraid of what they don't know. If all your manager knows is whats on TV, stereotypes ,then that's what he's going to believe and be afraid.
4.No, I don't think its wrong to be inter-racial. Everyone is suppose to be equal right? Having children of different racial mixes is giving them a opportunity to experience two cultures. Raising them with the mentality to see people not race.

It's not fair, you're right. When I see "black people" I treat them and talk to them with respect, as anyone else.... Hopefully the next generation here will break free and accept everyone, "white people" are no better, the blacks may have ghettos but whites have trailer parks... we all have downfalls and we all do the same things we should all be treated equal.... one day at a time

1. Its a fad. You see it on tv and it looks cool. We really are a society of lemmings.
2. It is permissable for OTHER black people to call each other the N word, it is not truly permissable for other people who are not black to call the N word. It is also highly rude. I would be severely bent if someone referred to me as "cracker". We wonder why we as a whole have a huge problem with violence. I wonder if our vocabulary has anything to do with pushing other people's buttons?
3. Its called profiling. It isn't right. I have known many people of many diverse ethnic backgrounds and would be apalled if they were treated badly because of the color of their skin or their backgrounds.
4. I think its wrong to worry about other people in an intimate relationship if both parties love one another.

1) I think chastising white people who dress and speak as if they were black is as dispicable as blacks who chastise other blacks for dressing in nice suits and speak proper english. How about live and let live?
2) These people are in serious need of a firing squad, IMHO.
3) Because he has been taught to believe that black men are scary. I don't care much about these people as long as they stay away from me. It harms them far more than it does me.
4) I could care less who sleeps with who and have kids with whomever. I think all kids are great, but sometimes, mixed kids are really beautiful. I married one.
