Some of the questions that people ask makes me wonder about thier motives for asking.
For example, some people ask why black people say "ax" instead of "ask".

I think some people are really just curious . Say you come to my house . You never been in a white persons house . You find out my house is as clean as yours . My cooking might be different then yours . So you ask how did you make that ? Or where did you learn that ? That painting is different . How did you come by that ? What do you think about taking care of kids . I know for sure good black mothers don't let there kids get by with anything . Nor do good white mothers . Then we start to find out that we as humans are really alike in a lot of ways . I just think people as you say are curious . Different cultures . But if you ask question you learn . And knowledge is power and peace . The more we learn about other people and how they live the better we can understand there way of living . Every culture has a way of speaking . In the United States people in the south speak with a different type of accent . In the New England states they have a accent . It's your way . In my culture it's my way . Yes I really think people are curious . Aren't you curious about people too ? Most intelligent people are .

They are interested in blacks just like they are u\interested in American Indians....and russians....and scots...Just because Blacks were bormn in America they do have a different history from others. They carry traditions they have passed down through the centuries...and wonder why there is a difference.
Why do people not realize they are people?
Each of us families comes with a story.
We as human beings are curious to broaden our horizons and inquire of other cultures. It's only inquisitiveness not a threat of war.
We are all walking through this life together...if we can't get along our father in the heavens will punish us...I for one want to love everyone....and it is possible if we all beg God to make us better and not destroy any of us....it's possible...in Jonahs day God was going to destroy the Ninevites but he had a change of heart because they all had a change of heart and resumed worshipping God in a way He approved...and he allowed them all to live...see what can happen if we all try?

Don't be surprised because a lot of people never really had any kind of relationship with
black people and they never go to a black
neighborhood for the same stereo type.

Very curious, it's just hard to get any good answers. Unfortunately people seem to mistake that curiosity for racism. I try to ask better questions than your example.

I don't ask stupid questions like that. I do enjoy hearing about not only blacks but other cultures. I like hearing about their differences and cultures. I think it's neat. Some people I suppose are just being ignorant.

It is amazing that in the information age people know so little about human beings.
