Why do you always focus on a groups negativity. I always see questions and here things, they related to something negative, like Blacks are lazy because they don't have jobs. Arabs are terrorists. Why not...questions like: Why are older black (elderly) women always humble and wise? Why are some black families/ siblings united? When a males leaves (deadbeat dad, sterotypicallY) what makes the mother stay and raise the child, and he grows to be a good father? Why are immirgants humble?...what makes these questions not answerable...are people that negative and haughty?

Good question. For myself, as a white man, I have no illusions of both the positive and negative aspects of my ancestors. The problem today of course is this notion that people can simply step outside their skin so to speak and be whatever they choose to be. This of course is a naivete that must never be allowed to fester and those who still practise negative stereotyping, be it against Blacks, White, Hispanics, no matter who, in the 21st century there is no place for the bastardized thinking of the past. Those who choose to continue down this road will soon find themselves alone, beaten and deserted on the plains of strife and without any hope of going forward. Positive images, from all peoples, is the only way we can move forward. We must be honest with the negatives within our groups and ourselves, but by looking to the good within each of us, we shall come to understand that we are greater than the sum of us.
