Why can't black people haveregular problems in these character studies? Ants in the kitchen? Racist?

Question

Out of the four questions: White Girl-1. how can i get info on my ancestors online? Black Guy*2. How do I get rid of ants in my kitchen? White Girl-3. White Guy-4. How can I raise my credit score? IN question 2, replace ants with roaches & you truly have a layer of racial inequality that is broadcast for everyone to see. With people like Trent Lott, the Vice President flying on a plane entitled the Spirit of Strom Thurman & even Michael Richards, should someone take a little closer look at the images you are projecting not only to white AMerica, continuing the racial divide through advertising or the image that minorities are supposed to sit back & just accept the unjust stereotypes that are constantly placed on us through hidden media gimmicks. I'm beginning to feel like the rest of the world & am beginning to hate this country labeled the land of the free, whatever....

Answer 1

Your comparisons make absolutely no sense to the point you were trying to make. Maybe the guy has a reoccurring ant problem and is actually using this forum for what it was set up for?

Answer 2

In truth I know what you are trying to say, but I do not believe it is as bad as you put forth. How about the Blacks use a little raid and start having real issues.

Take for example Hurricane Katrina. While it was horrible and no mistaking the problems notice what the people (who were mainly Black but I am not singling here) did in the stadiums and elswhere. They tore up their shelter and destroyed. Also they wait for some one else to come and fix it or take care of them. How about doing something for yourself (again I am generalizing)

People say "do not stereotype me or this or that," but in truth they will not do what it takes to shut whitey's mouth. That is be strong and do what it takes to improve yourself. Instead they separate and force issues instead of looking for a commonality among their peers. Striving for their own sense of idenity has created the poor view that you now complain.

We had strong Black leaders, some I wish would run for higher office as I would strongly support, but you would say they are too "white" so tell me who is the racist? If you are not willing to change why should we stoop down and say your way it better or equal?

Now, here is another situation. Say I am an employer of a small private business. Two people of equal experience and all things relevant seek the position I have open. Who gets it? The Black person because of affirmative action? or the person I can relate to on a personal level and would have more in common? Why should I be forced to hire someone I cannot relate too? It is my business and I have to go to work every day with the person. Either way you look at it some one gets the bum's rush. If I hire the White man I am a racist if I hire the Black man I am giving into terrorism.


If you hate this country please feel free to leave as it is quite a bit better than any other out there.

Answer 3

I think that ants in the kitchen are very normal- and i don't see it being about race as you can tell by the picture that I'm using for myself I am "white" (I'm more of a peach color but whatever) and I hate ants in the kitchen and I grew up with that problem. Now I don't know where you saw theses questions but I still think I can give you my feelings on it.
I do follow what your saying though but here is an odd twist on what your feeling is- what if the problem is the fact that any of them were said to be the color they were? Who cares if they were black or white (more like pink and bronze). Maybe the problem isn’t just about that.
Okay think of this you see these four questions and how do you feel then?
Girl- “I cant stop crying all the time? why is that?” Girl- “I have such big hips? how do I get them more thin?” Boy- “my Car is making a weird noise when I stop, why is that?” Girl- “how can I get a hair style that will get me looks from guys.”
I think this is just as common. Why is the guy the one who has the car problem but the girls care about their looks or feelings. It honestly doesn't matter if guys do care about their looks or cry- but we all just don't talk about it, because that's "odd" so the problem of this classifying people is more then just race it’s by everything!

1. I think the first thing is to see that no matter what it is, the media always will try to keep us in a box.
2.it happens to everyone. I know people have told me I don't under stand Racism because I'm white- but that is a form of racism to think that. And I do understand it because I know what hate is, and I have had to fight people with hate problems all my life. just like most the people in this world.
3. the next think to think on is that why would it matter if a man who is black had an ant/roach problem? because he is black has nothing to do with anything. He may also have credit issues and he may have looked up his family tree last week. Any of those things could be twisted to be bad. maybe the credit would mean that if a black man wanted to up his credit- he had bad credit so black people are bad with cash. honestly you and I both know that people are people- we are all just painted with different colors. so maybe the best we can do is NOT ignore the problem- but ignore the things you can't change- like the media- only working on the things you can, like going to your local school and try to help run programs to help kids learn we are all the same.

Sorry- i know I'm ranting. I'll stop now. Anyhoo thanks for the question.

Answer 4

I surely have had the comparable undertaking. There are a combonation of suggestions. a million ants hate mint leaves. Lay sparkling mint leaves on your counter. 2 spray interior around your baseboards with Raid ant killer, purchase a bag of ant killer interior the huge bags and sprinkle it around the perimiter of your abode. Then final yet not least, eliminate all open nutrition or spills on your counter. Even a crumb can entice an ant. as quickly as their nutrition souce is long gone and their front and exits are poisoned they are going to be long gone. at last the queen will consume the poison. this might take some days even yet it fairly works.

Answer 5

I like your thinking, take a look at a few of my questions and you will know what I mean when I say that. I have a few questions that deal wit that issue but so many people are afraid to step up and say there is an underlining problem somewhere. Many people close their eye to what is really going on. What many will read is your first two lines, but disregard everything else. That is the problem, people only see what they want, and everything does not exist. Peace be with you my brother.

Answer 6

I'm guessing because the guy actually had ants in his kitchen. It happens to me sometimes, especially during the summer months. Dang ants.

Answer 7

Ummm, okay, maybe the guy actually has ants in his kitchen. It happens

Answer 8

Wtf? Black people are not the only ones with ant and roach problems. And you have a very narrow sampling of questions to make an argument with. Whatever.

Answer 9

hold it down boy, yer head's gettin blurred

Answer 10

ok.
