so why the hate for them now?  Its easy to overlook the fact that your just the same as them only you were lucky enough to have been born to one instead of haveing to come here, but your family line comes from one

Americans don't question their right to live on stolen land.  Hmmm...do you think that's why we support Israel?  And we also conveniently forget that their ancestors had to struggle with language differences when they came over. And that many cities still have ethnic neighborhoods with signs/newspapers/etc in Polish or some other language besides English.  But we consider that a quaint reminder of our past, while we scorn people who have come over more recently, especially if they have darker skin.  Guess we should modify the Statue of Liberty, since we only accept the tired, poor, and hungry on a conditional basis, and we don't want too many of them!  Geez, you'd think we weren't one of the richest countries in the world!

hey, I'm all for that.  maybe if kkk, and my clone, redcatt69, didn't have such miserable lives and had someone to hug them, they wouldn't be so angry and pathetic!  hate is a pointless emotion...\n...love is the bomb!

hey, the same as you, we all have the same problems love, they always hurt the ones who do all the running etc, the ones that move away get star treatment. I have been like you, still am, I stopped trying with my lot, the phone line goes both ways I think, my lot only use it when they want something!! choose not to let them hurt you, find friends you can choose. don't expect anything from your family and then you can't be hurt.

no not everybody came from there. You are considered native to a country if your ancestors we there and part of the country as it was created.

Probably pretty immensely, and I must say, you have a good point. I don't understand why people are so touchy about their race. My grandfather was an Estonian (Teeny country on the Baltic) who immigrated to the US, and I don't get uptight when someone jokes about my heritage. But, if a person's grandfather was an African immigrant or Mexican immigrant, they'd be immensely offended if someone made jokes about their family's nation of origin. I don't think the minority argument stands, because even though I'm white, Estonians are certainly more of a minority than Mexicans or Africans.

We are all guilty of this to some extent, aren't we?  On one hand, it is proof of how comfortable we are around our family members.  On the other, why is it so hard to offer them the same respect when they are so much more valuable to us than a stranger is?  We all should work on that, I think.......

I thought my culture and heritage were dumb and didn't want to have anything to do with it. I said We're in the US now, forget that shiet but now, even though i hate those elders that believe they are wiser than you and everything and still does everything the oldschool way even though you have all this new technology that you can take advantage of I participate in those things because it has a little meaning. Be grateful for the creation of you and celebrate it. I know you probably hear things like this so much it has no meaning to it but it's true. It will probably take you a while to realize this. I still don't agree with what "my people" say and believe in but I participate because I am who I am and that is the blood that runs in me!

parents back then were that type of persons with their families, and they just were raised themselves that way and is not your mother's fault, but her, mother, and then her mother of her mother...and so on....nonetheless, you can make the change with your family and with you followed generations to come.....in your case, I can see that you have these hateful feelings about your mom, and brothers....Remember that things happens for one reason, you don't know why it happened the way it happened, but thank God, you are ok, even though you feel these feelings.....Try to forget if you can, try to do well to others and always, talk to others, the way you were treated like that others wont do what your mom did to you, and let this experience be of good use to others and forget all bad feelings and live a healthy life you and your family, God bless you and if you could Get a bible study..Good luck.

Lack of knowledge as to the customs of the South.  It doesn't matter one way or the other what they think.  It makes no difference in my life whatsoever.  I am from the South and am proud of it.  I am sure they are just as proud of being from the North. Don't let them get to you and just keep being proud of the South as you are now.

That is so sad.  I had an Uncle who was a member of the KKK for awhile.  Don't know how he ended up there, the rest of the family is not racist whatsoever.  I can't believe that people are still like that in this day and age.  Narrow mindedness is right!!!!

Because we have become a hated country for our way of life, our rights, beliefs and the right to obtain the American dream. Every one hates us yet at the same time they all want to be us.......When every one else open their borders maybe we will open ours!!!!!!

Why do people of this generation hate the previous generation? The answer lies within the question.

I agree. We're all the same and we are all equal. Unfortunately too many people live in fear, and will transfer that fear onto others in the form of hate. All it does to me is show how insecure the haters are in themselves.

I really do have to agree with you on this.  So many cultures had hard times. Some more than others.  Jews, Gays, Gypsies, Blacks, the list could go on.  I understand what happened to their people but its over, we have learned (or rather are learning) from the mistakes of the past. So why constantly through it in our face?  I feel we don't owe them anything any longer.  We have tried desperately to rectify it.  But it seems that nothing we do matters.  I personally sick of it (and I can see others are as well)  I am not racist, I don't hate people for reasons such as race, back round, religion whatever.  But enough is enough and I feel its about time some one voiced it.

Yeah, sometimes you hate them so much that you really want to kill them. But don't you know, you'll soon realize that your family, no matter how bad they are, is the best you've ever had.
