Do you think they should be allowed in America? According to freedom of speech they should, but I still don't agree with it. I don't agree with anything that says one person is better than another. What do you think?  \n\nA Neo-Nazi group is planning a boycott (for the lack of a better word) in Detroit. Detroit is a 90% African-American city. What are they trying to accomplish?

i know very little people that would agree with a white supremacy group.  but no one can disagree that if you were to hinder their freedom of speech, no matter how disturbing it may be, it would take a step backwards in what this country was founded to do: ultimate freedom to beleive, demonstrate, and speak what they what they will.  if that's taken away, what do we have left?

I am deeply offended by some of the responses to this question. So what minorities have a few clubs to celebrate their culture. So what? Who is is that really hurting? As an African American I could personally care less if white people had there own channels. I am not racist. I respect all people and cultures. What bothers me is people's attitudes. Ignorance is what I hate. If you want a club for caucasians start one. Things wont happen unless you make them. Do you know how long us minorities have had to struggle for the few things that you mentioned? We deserve it and we deserve to be proud of our culture. All people should be proud of their culture despite their race.

i have realized this, just like if we had white history month we would be racist, or white entertainment television. it's obviously a double standard. i also think it's funny that a lof of back people call themselves african americans when they were born and raised here, have never been to africa and neither have their parents. i dont walk around saying i am german american. there are sooo many double standards it's un-real.

In my opinion based on factual events, I think they are racist in that there motto is ...translated " for the RACE(latin) everything, and for everyone else NOTHING!"- this is true and disgusting. They dont deserve anything more than they have ethically earned, you can answer that one!

Ford says: "Seems to me that you guys, insist to air your views. I do not care what you guys do, or not do, just stop talking about it, day in and day out"\n\n\nTell ya what, Ford.  As soon as Christians STFU about "airing their views" and their hate, we'll follow.\n\nYOU FIRST!\n\n\nAnd, for BettyBoop.  Walk in my shoes, sweetie.  It's ONE EXAMPLE of many.  Many on this board alone.  He took ONE example.  With only a thousand characters allowed in a question, ya can't list them all.  If you don't see a LOT of christian hate on here toward gays, then you are F'ing blind.  It's present in almost every question string in this category.  Just don't stick in in your face??  This means, again, that YOU are free to publicly display your affections, but gays can't??  They must keep it hidden, out of YOUR sight???  F--- YOU and your HATE!!!  You love everyone???  NOT!!!

Hey here's a great article for you....\n\nAndy Rooney said on "60 Minutes" a few weeks back:\n\nI don't think being a minority makes you a victim of anything except numbers. The only things I can think of that are truly discriminatory are things like the United Negro College Fund, Jet Magazine, Black Entertainment Television, and Miss Black America. Try to have things like the UnitedCaucasianCollege Fund, Cloud Magazine, White Entertainment Television, or Miss White America; and see what happens...Jesse Jackson will be knocking down your door.\n\nGuns do not make you a killer. I think killing makes you a killer. You can kill someone with a baseball bat or a car, but no one is trying to ban you from driving to the ball game.\n\nI believe they are called the Boy Scouts for a reason, that is why there are no girls allowed. Girls belong in the Girl Scouts! ARE YOU LISTENING MARTHA BURKE?\n\nI think that if you feel homosexuality is wrong, it is not a phobia, it is an opinion.\n\nI have the right "NOT" to be tolerant of others because they are different, weird, or tick me off.\n\nWhen 70% of the people who get arrested are black, in cities where 70% of the population is black, that is not racial profiling, it is the Law of Probability.\n\nI believe that if you are selling me a milkshake, a pack of cigarettes, a newspaper or a hotel room, you must do it in English! As a matter of fact, if you want to be an American citizen, you should have to speak English!\n\nMy father and grandfather didn't die in vain so you can leave the countries you were born in to come over and disrespect ours.\n\nI think the police should have every right to shoot your sorry ass if you threaten them after they tell you to stop. If you can't understand the word "freeze" or "stop" in English, see the above lines.\n\nI don't think just because you were not born in this country, you are qualified for any special loan programs, government sponsored bank loans or tax breaks, etc., so you can open a hotel, coffee shop, trinket store, or any other business.\n\nWe did not go to the aid of certain foreign countries and risk our lives in wars to defend their freedoms, so that decades later they could come over here and tell us our constitution is a living document; and open to their interpretations.\n\nI don't hate the rich I don't pity the poor.\n\nI know pro wrestling is fake, but so are movies and television. That doesn't stop you from watching them.\n\nI think Bill Gates has every right to keep every penny he made and continue to make more. If it ticks you off, go and invent the next operating system that's better, and put your name on the building.\n\nIt doesn't take a whole village to raise a child right, but it does take a parent to stand up to the kid; and smack their little behinds when necessary, and say "NO!"\n\nI think tattoos and piercing are fine if you want them, but please don't pretend they are a political statement. And, please, stay home until that new lip ring heals. I don't want to look at your ugly infected mouth as you serve me French fries!\n\nI am sick of "Political Correctness." I know a lot of black people, and not a single one of them was born in Africa; so how can they be "African-Americans"? Besides, Africa is a continent. I don't go around saying I am a European-American because my great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was from Europe. I am proud to be from America and nowhere else\n\nAnd if you don't like my point of view, tough...

I've seen the comments you're referring to... I am not Jewish myself, but I'm definitely not "anti-Jew".  People should be free to practice whatever religion they want, and should not be persecuted for it... Jews suffered far too much with that sick pig Hitler.

Do you know what? I was just sat outside in the gorgeous sun shine thinking to myself.... I wonder why there are so many ignorant people who could still think inside their own tiny little mind that is it OK and even right, to think that another person could be worthless or somehow lower than themselves just because of the colour of their skin? It is absolutely crazy and so I have the same question as yourself..... why are these small-minded bigots allowed to post these offensive questions? They should in my opinion be banned from the site for life (or until the realise what an utter fool they are! However unlikely this outcome may be!!).\n\nTo all those who say - Oh it's all a matter of free speech - well yes you're right to a certain extent, it's just that I would rather be able to answer a question that's worth asking in the first place!

It's people like your friend, should he join, to whom we own thanks for being free in this country. He must make a decision to go or not. It's not like trying a new hobby and saying, "no, I don't like this after all." \n\nWhy do Americans put down the very institution that has given them the liberties they enjoy? Asinine.\n\nP.S. anything from MSN I tend to question. Their a media megaphone for liberals\n\nto DJ: I am not implying anything such as you have put on me! Don't put words in my mouth.

I disagree vehemently with those who have already posted their replies.  Mascots that purport to "honor" Native folks are not considered by the Native people they "represent" to be honorable at all.  (Take a look at the Cleveland Indians baseball cap and tell me if you think it's honoring anyone.) It's mockery.  Blatant racist mockery.  My colleague Charlene Teters has a great illustration of this issue on this website:\nhttp://www.aics.org/NCRSM/index.htm\n\nThe fact is that this country, from its very beginnings, was founded on exterminating, or assimilating, or otherwise eliminating Native people.  The fact that sports teams and non-Native fans say that these offensive stereotypes are "all in good fun" or "meant to be respectful" or simply "a tradition," doesn't take away (or even show an awareness of!) the history of racism and oppression against the Native peoples of this country. \n\nDo we name teams "the Alabama Darkies" or "The New York Jewboys?"  No, we don't, even though those racist terms are part of American history.  Why, then, do people still think "Redskins" is acceptable?  "Redskin" is precisely analogous to the N-word as applied to African-Americans.\n\nThese so-called "traditions" are merely direct reflections and symptoms of the American tradition of cultural genocide against Native peoples.  And these "long-standing traditions" are usually very recent phenomena, at most, 100 or so years old.  Ask any Native person if anything only 100 years old is a "tradition."  For Native folks, that's an INNOVATION.\n\nAnd one more thing: the children.  Native peoples in the US today have a hard enough time teaching their children to be proud of their heritage and identity when they are, in many nations, surrounded by poverty, unemployment, and various social ills.  These depictions are yet another means by which Native kids are made to feel bad about themselves.  If the US was a country that really cared about its children, it would stop this practice immediately, on every level.\n\nAs a society, we have progressed in that we no longer accept racist cartoons of Asian peoples and African peoples in our mainstream culture.  It's long past time that we eliminate these outdated racist practices in regard to Native peoples.\n\nAnyway, that's my opinion.\n\nSee the website below and scroll down to "statements and essays."  You'll get some really great information.

We have come to the point where it is considered improper or not politically correct to say certain things about certain racial or ethnic groups or even to refer to them in some specific terms. One of my pet peeves is the label "anti-semetic" that is attached to anyone who has the AUDACITY to say anything derogatory about Jews.  The implication is that somehow "anti-semitism" is bad, which to me is utter nonsense.  Why is it that it is not proper to say anything bad about a Jew? Why can we only think good things about Jews or else risk being labeled "anti-semitic" as though anti-semitism is some sort of a crime? It is all so ridiculous. If you make a statement such as "The percentage of Black males in prisons is 10 times the percentage of white males in prisons" there are people who will all fluff up into some overblown righteous indignation and say 'Oh, no no no no no you can't say that! That's RACIST"  Well, duh duh duh duhduh if it is based on fact it is fact, so where does racism come into it? Things have really spun out of control with all this nonsense.  Recently there was a whole big uproar (an obscure uproar, but an uproar nonetheless) over the fact that there are something like 500 little streams, brooks and creeks in the US named "Nig.ger Creek" or whatever.  Most of these names dated way back to the time when the use of such terminology wasn't even a dergoatory term.  Nowadays, if you say just about anything about anything, some self-righteous idiot will jump up and complain that is it racist.\n\nFrankly, I don't give a damn. And I don't think there is ANYTHING wrong at all with being a so-called 'anti-semite'.  It's my right, so there.

Hi. I'm Rommie's friend. (she answered above) Yeah, although I'm very universal in accepting people of all races, I also have no choice, but to accept the negativity of my race against other people's races and vice versa. It's not my job to correct anyone, and it would be a waste of time, even if I wanted to. These sad individuals have chosen to live a life of hate towards other races and groups, and their's nothing you or I can say or do about it. They have already made up their minds.

Don't care about your comments about God but I do believe that Ray Nagin is a racist.  Attacking people for voting for who they want to un-American too.  He is trying to get the people to "know their place".  Seems odd to me since blacks fought so hard for their right to vote.  They also fought to have their opinions count.  Why would a candidate take that away from them?

I admire you for asking the question, although it could have been phrased better, but I understand what you are asking.\n\nI live in Arkansas and none of the people of African decent have ever said the word around me, nor do they  act, dress, talk down on themselves. "Ghetto" is not cool here for them. Everyone of my friends are professional, and are fun regardless of their pay rate. They b_itch about pay, but then who doesn't. I know I do. There is no mention of "the man keeping them down." I’ve been invited to many cook outs, family reunions, etc., and have never heard this word used, even in a comfortable network place. I have no position of authority and am on equal to most of my friends. Oh and for the record they don’t talk like Carlton Banks from"Fresh Prince". So I think once you get out and about and have a more world view you will see to generate a group of people you are severely limiting yourself of potential good friends.\nNow for your other question...\n\nI’ve shown some of my friend your question and they said I should send you this page. It really sums up why this is such a powerfully hateful word and why it is possibly used in a "positive"(I use that word lightly, and so did they) manner. Oh, and they all said "about damn time someone is brave enough to ask the question of 'why'"\n(sorry for all the text(but read it to the end)...seems this word has some history...)\n\nThis site couldn’t have said it better...I’ve copied it and tried to fix "words" Yahoo will flag with ****...This site is about the word and its history. I tried to peserve the site as much as possible. I am sorry to any that might feel offended by it, not my intent. It is harsh as the word is everywhere, and shows through history how bad it was for Black Americans.\nI never understood political correctness, espesially in sites like here where you want to know why, even if its not PC to do so. How does that help anyone? I think it takes away the means of communication, and in doing so take away the way to fix problems...not cover them up like some oozing wound.\n\nN_igger (the word), a brief history!  \n\n June 1\n  \n*On this date we look at the history of word “N_igger” in America. This word still sits at the center of anti-Black verbal distortions. \n\n*Note: some of the content in this writing may be offensive to young children. \n\nThe history of the word n__igger is often traced to the Latin word niger, meaning black. This word became the noun n_egro (black person) in English, and simply the color black in Spanish and Portuguese. In Early Modern French n_iger became n_egre and, later, n_egress (black woman) was unmistakably a part of lexical history. One can compare to negre the derogatory n_igger and earlier English substitutes such as n_egar, n_eegar, n_eger, and n_iggor that developed into its lexico-semantic true version in English. It is probable that n_igger is a phonetic spelling of the white Southern mispronunciation of N_egro. \n\nNo matter what its origins, by the early 1800s it was firmly established as a degenerative nickname. In the 21st century, it remains a principal symbol of white racism regardless of who is using it. Social scientists refer to words like n_igger, k_ike, s_pic, and w_etback come from three categories: disparaging nicknames (c_hink, d_ago, n_igger, etc); explicit group devaluations ("Jew him down," or "n_iggering the land"); and irrelevant ethnic names used as a mild disparagement ("jewbird" for cuckoos having prominent beaks or "Irish confetti" for bricks thrown in a fight). Racial slurs (over time) have victimized all racial and ethnic groups; but, no American group goes through as many racial nicknames as Blacks: c_oon, t_om, s_avage, p_icanniny, m_ammy, b_uck, s_ambo, j_igaboo, b_uckwheat are some. Many of these slurs became fully traditional pseudo-scientific, literary, cinemati

You're correct.  We accept free speech unless it offends us.  Take for instance the Michael Richards thing. Now the Laugh Factory is putting a ban on the word n*gger.  What happened to free speech?  Then again, that's a private business and he can run it the way he wants.   It's an interesting world, the same people that cry "free speech" are the same that would cry "censor" if the speech is not favorable to them.

I think people see them as a supremicist group. And supremicist groups are no good. "Por La Raza todo, Fuera de La Raza nada" Everything for the Mexican Race, Nothing for outside the Mexican Race. It is saying that they believe that if you are not Mexican than you are not deserving. I disagree with that. I am white and my husband Mexican (from Mexico) and there is never a way that I could agree with that, and neither would he. Cant we all just get along?
