To me, it shows a lack of respect and actual care for these individuals.Unfortunately, this has happened (and is happening) in many other places.

Answer to:
Is it true that black men like relationships with white girls because it is less dramatic than with a black woman? I haven't noticed it. Like the others said, anyone can be dramatic. I grew up around both races and haven't noticed a difference. If race is the deciding factor in who you date and wont date, then you have a problem and need try to fix it. Many guys that I've met usued this as an excuse about their own race (didn't matter what theirs were), when they really believed this and...

Do black people from other countries besides the U.S. call each other the "N" word? In some rap doc they were tlaking about other talented rapartist, when they started to explore South Africa the N-word was used by some. These are also the same people who try to use Black American lingo though. I doubt most of them do. A good portion of my Black friends no longer use the N-word either.

NOT A RACIST QUESTION: How come when a lot of people have Mexicans do there yards, or business's hire them for that kind of work, they always do better than normal caucasian people? I mean, there's really not that much if any grass in Mexico. It's odd. I don't think it's Mexicans that are better (and not all "Hispanic" workers are Mexican) it's anyone who wants to have a better life. I've seen homeless people (who wanted to have a house to sleep in) work harder than people most people work just so they could get some food or money. I've seen kids stuck in poverty (who were tired of it) who worked harder than...

Answer to:
Have you ever heard or used the term "wetback" as a verb? Do you find it offensive used that way? It doesn't matter what part of speech it is or how it is used, it's a racial slurr. I find it offensive. I've never heard it used in an upliftinf way or applied as a postive trait. Usually when used it is degrading someone. Any word that points out a race and degrades someone is not okay.

Unfortunately, I think it would be a lot more difficult to find outside of your family. people don't seem to have the same ideas about friendship anymore. But I think it's possible.

Do people who are racist get angrier when a member of the hated group follows the stereotypes that they consider to be negative or angrier at the ones that don't follow those stereotypes? From my exprience, racist enjoy having people that prove them right. I've noticed racist people become agitated when someone *doesn't* prove them right. I think because it proves that their racist ideas aren't correct at all. Some people are racist out of painoia and a certain group taking over, so if they see someone successful, it makes it worse. But to be honest, there...

Which type of prejudice is more tolerable today? Racism or sexism? I think sexism is tolerated more (even though it shouldn't be).

Many are still told to stay barefoot in pregnant, not go to college, or to just get married becuase they are women. Many men are assumed to act a certain way and re treated worse than women. I think certain cultures promote...

If your boyfriend had a best friend who controlled him and he tried to do the same to you would you put up with this behavior? No one should be in a controlling relaitonship, be it romantic or a simple friendship. Those usually turn sour and continue to escalate. I would distance myself from the boy if I were him, still be friends, but attempt at still living his own life. If I were you, I'f be frustrated and annoyed...but there's not too much you can do.

It makes for better and fair competition. You see this in kingergarden politics all the time with people at the PTSA meetings.

I've yet to meet a mixed kid who called themselves white or black. Usually they just went by mixed. Most of the kids seemed to go by what they resembled the most. A few of myblack/white mixed friend could "pass" as "white" (except for their hair)...so they usually went by white. It all depends on the individual and i think, ultimately, their apperances.

The world is becoming a smaller place and languages not only help your brain "develop" but make you more competive when it comes to jobs. Plus, you only limit yourself to the languages you know.

Why do many dark skin black parents in some cities like Philadelphia (black majority,ninth-poorest U.S. city) teach their kids light skin blacks are conceited and dark skin blacks don't date light skin blacks? I'm a light skin black. I'm a light skin (multiracial) black. I haven't met any Black parent who taught their children to hate a race or a lighter skinned black (although I'm sure there are some out there). I think it usually stems from seeing or feeling that those who are lighter get better treatment. For example...Lighter blacks tend to: - Not get profiled as much (people sometimes tend to think...

Media-transported impression to Europe: Most US Black ppl hide behind their skin like behind a shield, take it as an excuse for situation and dont even try to get out of it. Agree/Disagree? Disagree.

They live their own lives, work hard, and don't blame their short commings on their race (unless it really is getting in the way of their success).

Do you think that people of less developed nations shouldn't advice you ,if you belong to a comparatively more developed nation? Developing countries have accomplished things that many developed countries haven't. Every country can learn from another. I would love for the leading countries in pollution to learn from other coutnries and bring it down a notch. I don't think any input should be stopped, you may learn something.

Why does saying "Nigger" make you a racist, but you're not necessarily a gay basher when you say "fagot" or "dyke"? Really? becuase I've often notice people getting *angry* when people say those words and calling them rude or a homophobe. The few times where I haven't seen poeple being bashed for sayign such words were when they people saying the words where gay/lesbian/bi (they didn't use the word "fagot", but commonly used "dyke" in a joking manner).

I would like to understand why people of color like to refer to themselves as "African American", I am white and my ancestors came from Europe, but we do not call ourselves "European American". Does the African American have special meaning for you, why? Most Blacks I know call use the term "Black", not African-American. I will, reluctantly admit, that the few that use "African-American" are usually darker and the issue is more color related. Some on the other hand, do have a stronger connection to their "motherland" and take pride in their background. Denying it, for many, feels like a slap in the face. Also,...

People whose ancestors lived in hotter areas (such as Africa, certain parts of Latin America and Mexico and Indiana) have darker skin. Also, Africa is more racially diverse than the world itself.

How often are light-skin blacks mistaken for another race? Sometimes I'm mistaken as being white, mixed, Hispanic, etc. Most light-skin blacks I know are usualy mistaken for being mixed with white.The thing that usually makes more lighter blacks get mistaken for being another race is having another feature outside of their race, or a feature people don't expect them to have. Blacks tend to be mixed anyway.

What goes through your mind when you hear a non-black person use the "N" word? It depends on how they meant it.

Keep in constant/personal contact with your husband (webcam, pictures,phonecalls). I think there may be coping programs for children who are in situations like this. Keeping them in contact with their dad will help them...

Is the phrase African-American purely reliant on skin colour? A friend of mine is white but was born in Africa and now lives in the US and is a citizen. Is he African-American? African-American refers to Africans who are Americans. So yes, he would be. I'm a multi-racial "black" person (native american, white, black) and other blacks I know only refer to themselves as Black. African-American is a PC term for blacks, but most don't refer to themselves as that. Also, when I applied for scholarships and colleges I had Multi-racial (which many blacks...

Is it possible to go to a community college for 2 years and then transfer to a school like Harvard with a high enough GPA? Does this ever happen? Yes, it's possible. But it depends on the school. Some schools won't accept classes/grades or transfer classes from community colleges if their classes are at a higher level. So Harvard, for example, may not accept the classes/grades because they aren't at the same level, but they may accept you into the school while a decent school (not the bets in the nation but not bad) may...

Why do most women talk about doing violent things to mens genitalia, if their man is unfaithful? You never hear a man saying he'll do something violent to a womans genitalia do you? I think that has to do with the sterotype(?) that (all) men think with their penises. If it weren't for that body part it wouldn't have happened and he/she wouldn't be in that situation. Plus, there's more to threaten when you're talking about male genitalia (it seems more important to a guy). <Overanalyzing> Male gentilia is seen as more masuline (so it's...

Why do you think some young teenage girls always want to get pregnant? Immature. They usually don't realize how much time and money goes into having and raising a child (which is why when many do their parents end up raising it)...or the occasional combination of immaturity and lonliness. They feel like the baby will give them something to do or make them special (basically: the baby will help define who they are).

If your pet is the least bit overweight this could be the problem. You may have to check that area to see if she's ok. Whenever your pet does something out of the ordinary, it may be time for you to check if (s)he's ok.

Why does the mainstream entertainment industry refuse to take Christian music seriously when they are equally as good as most mainstream "artists"? This goes for every religion.

Real nice guys don't finish last, often times they just find the wrong person. I feel like girls who only want "bad boys" are fairly immature, because often times they bring nothing to the relatinship and its one-sided...the girls are just in it for the "adventure". Girls like that usually aren't ready to be in a steady relationship anyway, and the nice guy is,...

Do you think that gay couples who have a child of the same sex as they will pose an influence which will cause the child to want to try to have sex with someone of that same sex? They can. Just like hetro parents can. Children, blindly follow their parents. How else will they learn? And because of this, they learn how to treat people, act, and how to be respectful. At most, I think having two same sex parents will make a child curious...but it will *not* make a child "gay". Thats up to the child.

Do you think political correctness is over done? I don't think we need to aim PC, as muhc as we need to try to inderstand someones situation. When you become more aware about race, religion, and sexual orientation or even social classes and the problems the indivuduals face you won't have a problem trying to be "PC" because it will come naturally and won't be overdone.

Some people get love confused with really good sex or conveience mixed up with some puppy love/lust.

How do you start a relationship over when most of it has been lies? That would involve you taking every lie and putting it out in the open. And if a relationship is based on lies, that's alot of snooping to do just to find out what is a lie and what isn't. Also, chances are, if it's based on lies whoever said them will start to say them again. It's better to start over. With someone else. And keep it as truthful as possible.

Why do black people act as if they were the only ones whom ever went through slavery, White people were the first to be slaves for the Romans. I don't think blacks think that. I don't. Also, every nation enslaved there own people, so there is no telling who was the "first slave", trying to claim that just means that you want an excuse to whine. I think most blacks (american blacks) are affected by racism that still exists, just like asians and latinos and whites and people of mixed races.

Is the term mullato a racist term? Depends on how it's used. Only time I'v eheard it was from old timey people who were fairly ignorant about race. I avoid the word but not because I think it's racist (because I don't know), I just don't like it. You'd be better off avoiding it though (just for safety measures).

I am a woman. I worked hard all my life and never made as much as the men. It kills me that men will pay Prostitutes a lot of money but not women with decent jobs who work hard! America owes us! The government should gives us extra cash to make up for it? While it's a nice though, I don't think it should happen. If they have to do it for hardworking women than every person who has been wronged by America will have to pay those people back. Money to Korea, China, Japan, Phillipines, Mexico, France, England, Africa, Iran...and than you'd have to give the 40 acres and a mule to all blacks and all the land back to native Americans...

Is it discrimination if Chinese restaurants don't hire wait staff who have that "California, blond hair, blue eyed" look? Not really. It can be though. It depends on their intentions. If they said 'We don't want you because you're white" then yes, it could very well be discrimination. But if they said (and I'm trying to give them the benifit of the doubt) "We don't want you'r Cali look" it probably had something to do with you not looking asian. And considering it is...

I would be, no one has the right to not admit you into a certan school. Of ocurse, it also depends on the schools goal. Maybe it's for high-risk students of ethnic orgin and you aren't high-risk, I know quite a few schools that seem to think like that (but they actually accept "white's", they just make sure 'miniorities' get priority status).

Smile or say hey to people in the hallways that you know a bit. Ask for homework assignments or work at the front desk at the school (you'll get to meet plenty of people that way). Do things outside of school (clubs that interest you). You may met people outside of school who go to the one you do.

Also, too many rumors sprang up about each canidate and the other party would too easily eat it up. So I think, in a way, it made people feel as if they were being insulted...

I don't even seem like real love when it's said over and over. As far as I know that's a bad sign. When people act like that there is a good chance that they are controlling and emotionally/mentally abusive. Alot of times when jealous/controlling people get into a relationship, they move faster than the person wants or tries to force it to move faster ("I love you" can be one form of manipulation).

A girl who believes in herself, with no low selfesteem, who is trustworthy and can hold a conversation seems to catch alot of guys. Not just confident and attractive, because those two combinations alone can be...

But if they are going to do that, they might as well have an open commited relaitonship and not get married.

Jesus was born and died a Jew. Where in the bible did Jesus command people to start a religion another religion? I don't want to know about someone saying he was inspired by Holy Spirit, I want where he said so? Chrisitanity simply means "followers of Christ". Nothign more, nothing less. All those divisions of it are there because people wanted to do things their way. Jewish people didn't believe that Jesus rose form the dead. While Christians do. Chrisitans also have the New Testment and from what I've sene, read form it much more often than the Old.

If you were at a party and you met a potential date---conversing with him/her all night long---how would you react if when that person got really drunk, began crying and screaming over his/her ex and mentioning suicide/death/etc before passing out...? At that point I'd realize he's not ready for a relationship. He's not quite over his ex and I'd be happy I could see that side of him (saves the girl, or guy, from wasting time). I'd settle for friendship, nothing more (too much emotional baggage).

The car, i'm assuming, is a fmaily sized car...so if you dont have a fmaily, you'd make one just to get the car. Actually, now that Ithink about it, it doesn't make as much sense as I htought. Still funny though!

As far as I know, it can be a sign of polyps (sp?) or colon cancer.

And when they get married they'll still have to learn eachother like regualr strangers would. I think it can definately throw the realtionship a bit off since it didnt quite go in the order...

Why do people form to the steorotypes they are labeled with? I just heard a Christian caller from Texas, commenting about Obamas speech, and she said, "The only issue that matters to me is homosexuality, and since Obama isnt against it,he must be Godless" Well someone may want to inform that particular Christian that Jesus hung out with Gays, Lepers, and Taz Collectors. basically, all the people that were outcast. I supose Jesus was Godless too, eh? If she wants to think and live like Jesus refraining from judging people would help.

Please don't think I'm being racist. I'm only white and curious...Do black people wash their hair each day? Is it with regular shampoo? And how come sometimes i see classmates hitting their heads instead of scratching? Asking a hair question wont make you racist. And Blacks dont usually wash their hair as much becuase african hair (and curly hair) tends to become dry pretty easily. As far as I know it's because the natural oils in your hair have a hard time traveling through all the curls and may only make it a few inches. So blacks may wash their hair once a week to once every month. Also, black women...

But bottom line is that I'd probably give them a handshake.
