I asked one question about My friend not admiting that she was Black people were getting on my case. It matters to me because it's like a slap to my face when she says that she isn't Black when she claery has Black ancestry. She has dark skin liek me and kinky hair. I'm Dominican and Jamacian and shes "Puerto Rican" it just makes me so mad who she just denies it. I'm not telling her that she should only conseider herself Black. I'm telling her to stop denying herself. she also mad me mad by saying that "when black people have natural kinky hair it looks messy and ugl and they need to get relaxers" Shes a Black hispanic like me, but I was raised black and I very proud of my hertitage and I don't mind having the kiknest hair or the darkest skin.

Have you tried acting a little more.....white? You should prbably take a hint from you friend, put down the malt liquor and wings and start sucking up to the man. You'll get farther that way.

I think I've mentioned this to you before,but I'll say it again. I am extremely proud of you for recognizing your African heritage.You don't know how many times I've been told "You're not Black,you're speaking that funny language so you can't be black." It's all ignorance hermanita. And it's not just American people,our own people can be pretty ignorant as well.I can remember the times my own grandmother would make fun of our darker-skinned relatives,saying that they were not as smart as we were or how they didn't know how to act.And on the other hand,how our darker relatives used to make fun of us and call us "white." Like I said it's just all drama(which needs to end) to keep us apart when we should be uniting.

People are mean on this website because they can say things they would not normally say in person. They think it's ok to say nasty things because they are alone in their own home behind a computer screen. Most of them are losers who have no life or no friends.
Did you see the first answer to your question? People have actually given her thumbs up. There are alot of messed up people in this world. Just don't let it get to you, and ignore the mean people because you know you are better than them. It's not worth worrying over, because they don't have a life. They think it's funny to watch people get mad over what they say on the internet.

You asked a question. Don't get upset because the answers weren't to your liking. Life is about accepting things we like and don't like, and trust me, you're going to face a lot of things that you don't like in life. Don't focus on petty things like yahoo answers, a place where people behave rudely because they're bored.

i do know for a fact that a lot of Puetro Rican ppl do have kinky hair and very dark skin but they have no African ancestry at all. i don't know why but that is a FACT. very strange i know but it is almost like albinos but they are just the opposite.

I guess it's because their identities are hidden. Most people would NEVER be a smart mouth to anyone in person because they don't want people to know they are butt holes. Nothing wrong with being the way you are. To some that makes you exotic. And exotic women are HOT!!!

Because of all the people like you who ramble on about something completely insignificant. Why are you hung up on race anyway? If someone is willing to be your friend what does it matter?

people are rude on here becuz they hide behind their computers! half the stuff people say, wouldnt be said to someone's face. as for your friend, she obviously has some sort of issue she needs to deal with, whether she is black or not, she sounds racist. simply put.
