We all all Americans there is no color Just a American standing Right beside you you where born here or came here

Because you Love it here So we all are Americans
Its who we are .................................

That's funny, cuz I do that with sexism, and I'm called a b*tch for it.

Not to go off topic, I agree with you 100% on this, It's amazing the shock on people's faces when you tell them their comments weren't appreciated.

I know a guy who is very much a racist, but it's funny not infront of a black man would you EVER know it. Those are the worst kind in my eyes. If you're going to take a stand on something, don't falter from it. (Not that I support his views, but I could respect the fact that he has them IF he wasn't so afraid)

My ex-father-in-law is a racist, it is well known if he ever spews that sh*t and my daughter comes home with it, he will NEVER EVER see her again.

You're never going to change someone's views especially if they've had them since birth. I do agree however that you can make a difference if you don't allow it in your presence.

Excuse me for saying, but that is a bit of a wishy washy dreamy statement.

If everyone thought like that it would be a good thing dont get me wrong, but they simply dont.

But at the same time too, someone is allowed to be proud of where they come from and the colour of their skin. Im British, and the man standing next to me might be a black man, and he does have the right to say 'i am black and im proud'. I should also have the right to be proud of being a Brit, and a white one too, though that isnt something i really think about or say.

We are not all the same, we have different backgrounds and cultures, and there is nothing wrong with recognising this. As long as you dont think you are better than that black man standing next to you, or he better than you..

Let me see, "race" does not truly exist imEDUCATEDo. The things that we use to separate races are the same things that vary within any given race. skin color/shade, build, face shape, hair color/texture, etc.

A person with "black/brown" skin may not be of African descent, and if you study anthropology we ALL came from Africa.

How many Asian people get frustrated because people call them Chinese when they are Phillipino??

Is "racism" a problem? Though I think the division of "race" doesn't exist racism does indeed exist in the minds of people. However, so does homophobia, people who don't like children, people who don't like men/women, people who don't like rich people, or poor people.

Unfortunately we tend to focus on how we are "different" than how we are alike.

I personally thing that it is more with "class" than "race". I've heard arguments about "black" people not having economic freedom. I grew up in neighborhoods that were largely populated with black people.........and I am white.

I was bussed from a "poor" neighborhood into a neighborhood that had inground pools in the backyard...........along with the "black" kids. (integration, stupid)

Racism is attributing certain characteristics to a person simply because of his "race"............I don't see this happening. I find it has more to do with their culture.

I find myself responding similarly to people who are of the "gang" culture, no matter their "race". If you are wearing the overly baggy jeans, jersey, bandana (of same colors) on your head, and using language that speaks of the "ghetto" I am likely to be intimidated by you. Why? Because I don't like gang life. I don't like being around someone who may pull a gun at any moment.

I've posted at length on racism in another thread......

Yes, people are "racist" but "race" is not the problem.

Affirmative Action, and "Black Pride" only add to it. Instead of equality, it is "despite our race, we are...........". To me that is an insult to yourself. Despite being human I can.......... Self hate anyone??

We are all integrating anyway. Eventually the majority will be of "mixed race".

We all have common ancestors. It has only been the desire to dominate that causes people to look for differences and then elevate their differences above those who differ.

It's all economical.

Hate is hate.

Anytime someone uses a crutch to excuse their own behavior.........they are only hurting themselves.

I was very saddened when I read about the Jenna Six situation.........when I read ALL the facts surrounding it. And to think that these kids have a fund, because their criminal acts were justified because of "racism".

Dan99 you have the right to live the way you want to.
And so do i. I live for me and i think for me
Just like you do I posted my OP you may not like
It But i don't Debate your OP its the way you think


And i am not here to Debate that

If you make a post in a public forum you should expect that someone might respond to it.

Thank you for your opinion.

To add to my post.......it isn't your "race" that causes the differences, but rather adaptation. Depending on where you have lived and the environment both physical and social........it has little to do with your ancestry.

Well said Nancy, you always have a way to explain things in a way that i cant. I cannot disagree with any of that.

all i can say is ever man isn't created equal,just ask the ladies

No they aren't...SIZE MATTERS.

Thanks, Dan.

Butt licker

Hey now, this isn't the Sex/Dating forum, Andy.

Sorry Nancy, I was confused by the flirting going on between Dan and Hajimema****e

I believe prejudiced exists between different races, but it isn't just a racial thing, people prejudge each other for anything. I believe it is human nature, I think those who believe they are not prejudiced are the ones who likely are the most prejudiced, after all they don't recognize what it is.

One small thing, I think in a dating forum "blacks against whites" would have been the proper way to phrase it. I seem to get along well with black women.

My bad,
