Why do we put baggage on people when they are born because of race?

Question

like white guilt for stealing America and slavery and iperialism
or
look at the poor oppressed black person or latino person .his/her life is going to be hard because they are a minority ....what if the newborn just wants to be judged on his own merit?...it's kind of like socio-political abortion

can we please stop using race as an issue in immigration in f-king 2006?.. It is so disgusting and cowardly

If you thinkjust a little past your ignorance you realize that no race owes any other race anything and there is no biological link to superiority or inferiority among races..therefore any racial rhetiric is automatically craven crap of whiners, mental cases, and slow people

Elf....the great black healer...grace me with your knowledge.........i'm secure enough with my masters degree and my multi-cultural upbringing and well traveled existense and Peruvian wife and Jamaican and Hatian and freinds of all flavors to know I am not racist and entitled to my own opinion..thank you and keep being angry at me....BECAUSE I AM HALF BALCK AND ARE YOU DISGRACE TO OUR RACE..

and ELF clean out you ghetto mouth...and have respect for the English language

Answer 1

I completely agree, but honestly, it is used all the time....Many people do make it about race and not the law.....If we can stop the racial slurs coming from BOTH sides, we may actually find real solutions....great question...

Answer 2

If you're mixed race then you seriously have issues. I feel sorry for you and hope you don't pass your self-hatred to your children. I am no disgrace to my race. I'm an upstanding citizen and my daughter is biracial and she will not have the same negative picture that you have of blacks. I won't allow it.

You're obviously jaded and all your little "friends" probably don't know your views. You're mixed, and you're mixed up.

I come from a very good family, by the way. And no black people that I know have ever committed a hate crime against a white person. So, I think your earlier cry for reprisal is a moot point.

Who cares about your masters, by the way. That's just a few classes, now isn't it? Let's be real for a moment. Don't try to exude grandeur when you're just like everyone else.

But, now that I know your alleged situation, I seriously feel sorry for you that you are so worried about upsetting your white counterparts and bothering them with your "whining" that you've chosen to ignore the realities of life.

Have you ever heard of redlining, Mr. Masters Degree? It's when financial institutions deny or increase costs of services based on race. I guess that's a figment of my imagination. Funny, there's several scholarly articles on it.

But I guess that's whining...you're sad.

Answer 3

Too many people are too wedded to race wars, divisions between the races and race pimping.

Look at the so-called "black leaders" - Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan, etc - they all make their living by creating and maintaining divisions and fomenting anger between the races. They excuse the most outrageous black behavior and always blame whitey.

Same with the so-called "latino leaders", etc.

It is high time that the government got out of the race business. Race, origin, sex, religion, etc should no longer be any part of any government form for any reason.

Affirmative Discrimination quotas must be made illegal. Set asides, etc, must be eliminated.

Separate activities at government institutions, like black graduations at universities, etc, need to be stopped. It is time to end the foolishness.

Why are liberals so wedded to the racial divide?

Answer 4

I don't judge anyone because of race, but I do judge races by their collective attitude. Individuals are different in many ways. Some races, however, have developed a reputation for being agressive and violent without a valid reason. I say... get over your anger and deal with the present. What has happened in the past has no effect on the future unless you let it.

Answer 5

Good point. However, there is too much money to be made by those stirring up the populace over ethnic issues, real or imagined. Lots and Lots of money.

Answer 6

RACISTS AMERICA NEEDS A REALITY SHOW

What Racist America needs today is a reality show. Now if u are not racist don't be offended. I am talking to RACIST. If the shoe does not fit DO NOT PUT IT ON!!! The Americans are spoiled. I am talking about my own race. I am American born. I am Irish German, Cherokee. Considered white. The majority of white people are mutts with the majority of them not even knowing anything about from whence they truly came. The African American & the Hispanics have a more true blood line than "White America" I have strived to educate myself.... we must do so to understand the concept of anything so that we can intelligently assess situations and form opinions..... The majority of the Americans do not care about the plight of others.... they are greedy and spoiled... and continue to claim something of which truly is not theirs. Why do I say this.....You say that we came as legal ones.....if you want to consider the atrocities committed to the North American Indians as our coming here legal do so......The Indian did not have the concept of owning land.......The saw land as on loan by mother nature. Mother nature owned the land they did not. So when the White Man came requesting to buy land the Indian so much wanted to share all of the bounty of the land with the white man......The white man tricked the Indians into entering into written contracts of land purchase.......lands of hundreds of acres purchased with little in exchange.....NO money.......Beaver pelts, deer antlers....beads...etc were the purchasing items. The Indians not understanding the concept of a man owning land......assumed that they were giving the white man the same rights as they had to hunt fish and camp .... The white man saw the Indian as stupid dumb SAVAGES and fraudulently acquired his lands..... So don't say we came here as legal.... we came as thieves. YEA WE NEED A REALITY SHOW SO THAT I CAN SEE MY RACE HUMBLE THEMSELVES... AND CRY.... IN DESPERATION OF HUNGER AND LACK OF COMPASSION I can see at the end of the show when they are called to picked up........They will say....... Mom, Dad I have made some really good friends over here. They took me in, they clothed me and fed me....They loved me..... Can you possibly bring a bus so that I can invite some of them back to my home with me so that I can begin to show them the same love they have shown me.....AMERICA HUMBLE YOURSELF BEFORE CIRCUMSTANCES FORCE YOU TO BE HUMBLE

Answer 7
