well said I have never understood 'race' attraction either since each race has billions with a billion different combinations of features

but, as someone else said, noone is going to be EVERYONES Type and if people so choose to eliminate a billion people from their potential pool because of their ancestry(or skin color) its their loss

not yours,,,

i believe that there are some people who driscriminate black person and i dont understand why. We are both humans.

Even King Kong wanted a white woman!



Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Actually all creation of God is beautiful in one way or another. The reason that King Kong wanted a white woman is simply because the writers, the screen writers and the producers were attracted by white women. If the producers and writers were African American King Kong might of grabbed a Black woman. Beauty and attractiveness are different. Attractiveness is based on the person who is determining the appeal. Look at dogs, they are many different types, but almost all their owners find them in their opinion beautiful.

and there are some who discriminate against whites as well, when I was stationed in D.C. I couldn't count the number of black women that told me they ONLY date black guys...they would then say "I'm not racist, I just find black guys more attractive" this seems to be perfectly acceptable

but I wouldn't dare say the same thing in reverse because I know I'd be labeled racist....even if that's not really what it is and it's just personal preference.

again some may be racist, some may not be, but just because you are not someone's type doesn't mean they are discriminating it may just mean they have a type and you're not it.

I think most of our beliefs and tastes are conditioned by our environment,, to be honest

so people discriminate(individually) for any number of reasons from race to gender

not everyone has been conditioned to see all races as culturally and historically different yet still human

I agree. Speaking from my own experience, I grew up in a diverse neighborhood and went to a diverse school with no clear majority. There were whites, blacks, Latinos, Vietnamese and Arab. No one I grew up is very racist.

Others that I know who grew up in either all white or all black neighborhoods are more likely to discriminate in my experience.

This thread keeps rattling around in my head.

I can remember when the big pushes were made to try and stop the "old" thinking and bring in the "new". Living on the edge of the Jim Crow laws and how afraid so many people were. Wasn't pretty watching people suffer the riots and the hatred. I remember hoping that they world was changing for the good and the USA would be what so many thought it could be. That the humiliating criminals would someday find justice. I knew Otis Woodard and Dr. King and Ralph David Abernathy. It wasn't glamorouse trying to pass food in the slums and fight prejudice from the pulpit. All the marches and so forth were a lot more work and suffering than anyone realizes. I was shot at near a bus stop, had a cross burned on my lawn in St. Louis just trying to be a foster Mom. The chilling fear of finding a KKK hood in old attic trunks of a man I once respected and cared for. . Don't kid yourself you thought about it a lot growing up straddling a world that would not let you pass as white and told you that you could compete at the lower level for Miss Kansas but if the real birth certificate that identified you as half "first American" would get out all the work and competitions were a waste. But the change slowly inched forward and colleges were open to all, my children went to fully integrated schools and our family is so mixed it would be pretty hard to find a race or creed not represented. I saw th military finally end some of it's practices and now feel safe that no one has to lie about who they are or who they love. So many steps forward. I know there are still miles to go but it all seems like beating the same dead horse. I guess we still need to sweep out the closets and clean up the corners of the world that hate each other but I am so tired of trying to look in the bright and upcoming generation faces and say you are beautiful for just who you are because they still need to hear it.
