I'm not being unpatriotic or anything, just wondering if anyone had any opinions or feedback.

I thought I was the only person who saw that.  It's apparent that they are going to try to milk this for all it's worth too.  Wonder if 100% of the profits are going to the families...

'god bless'...that offends me! lol  But to be honest, even though I'm not a believer, I believe in letting things be. The cross does not offend me. I'd rather go with the majority, myself. I feel like that's what this country is about.

I feel everyone is frustrated and concerned over issues that involve the Middle Eastern dilemma.  But I also feel that these issues should be dealt with, urgently.  The anger some express, is warranted, and is due to the fear of the anger that is not expressed, but is lying in wait to be expressed, by some, and is more prevalent in your backyard, than ours.  But it is also my opinion that this post, was meant to convey fear.  Both Americans and British have both, historically, always enjoyed comedy, and it is part of our (when allowed)  peaceful, good-natured cultures.  But also, historically, when we get continually stepped upon, we both tend to get tired and STOMP VERY HARD BACK, so as to continue with our way of culture.  I guess what I am trying to say is, that in life, and in this post, that Americans and British are more OPEN as to WHO we really are, and what are intentions are.  I hope this helps you understand the differences between anger, fear and tiredness.  And, since I know us Brits and Yanks are considered pretty lacking in awareness, could you please have a sense of humor, and post for me if you are aware of what I am trying to say?-please do, I'm interested.\n\nKirsty S.  You are a sweetheart,so please don't worry.  When you put your head on your pillow tonight, think "Everything will be okay" and KNOW this!!!

Seeing as how you decided to use Yahoo Answers as a forum, allow me a moment to retort. \n\nIt seems that you are a bit confused....and I understand; you feel passionately about your point of view. I hope that you know that the people you've described here I'm sure can counter every single proclamation you've made, but will it help foster and facilitate a conversation that helps us all learn to understand each other? \n\nWill it help you to see and appreciate the many differences between our cultures that make us all ultimately the part of ONE HUMAN RACE? \n\nI hope so. I don't feel that only whites can be racists. That would be like saying that only white people are rich or educated. Its a blanket statement and its fear and ignorance that divides us. \n\nAt our core, we are all the same. We want to be safe and happy and live in a safe , thriving environment and wants the best for our families, friends, and loved ones. \n\nI appreciate you putting this question out here after all. Hopefully it would foster a conversation- the first step in understanding each other.

I am learning not to be racist but still love the thought of being a black woman. It is hard. Although my mother believe in loving everyone. I was brought up to believe that white people were devils. could not be trusted, and looking for any and all reason to hold a black person back from thier goals. This ideas was passed along through my father. I have a teenage child, and I do not want his to grow up with these views. I am a racist, slowly being reformed to a proud black woman. Keep your fingers crossed. I have just got to the point that I would allow a white person to touch me. Do not pounce on me, I am really making efforts to change, but change does not come easy.

Oustanding question! You probably wont see many liberal viewpoints here. In response, YES. People seem to want to settle with their own racial background. There is very little real diversity and this is what most people have problems with. It is these (remember that guy having a go at John Reid) 'Muslim areas' where tension between in the indiginous population and within themselves will develop. Lets just cast our minds back to july 7th 2005.  Apparently those guys were 'british'. Im sure the 52 people on those trains and buses would question that. That is merely a prelude to what could be a regular occurence. And yes it will become like baghdad. with different 'muslims' fighting amongst themselves. Meanwhile all the anglo saxons will be recreating histroy and fleeing to Australia and the USA. This is a bad time and it needs to be addressed aggresively if needs be. \n\nYou want to play on our pitch? \nYou play by our rules.

There are innumerous people in this site that pass judgement, why they come no one really knows. So while it may seem a little silly sometimes you need to put in a disclaimer i.e. note that you're not asking to challenge but for information or to have an intellectual discussion hopefully that should minimise the backlash, but then again everyone likes to have a bitch.\n\nLuck!

There's a link to the blog at the 'home' page of Yahoo! Answers on the subject of violations, etc....Yahoo is getting some pretty good feedback.  Just thought you might like a head's up in case you wanted to go read & add your thoughts too.

nope! I think they are inconsiderate and unpatriotic. yes, they have a right to think what they want and to say what they think and I have the right to not buy their stuff...and I won't.

I'm going to treat this as a humorous question instead of getting snarky about it.\n\nBut I can't think of a funny way to answer, so I'll just say no, it's not hypocritical.

I would be offended.I admit I find it funny,and sometimes I cringe.We shouldn't support it.If it was my race I would feel like everyone was laughing at me.It would feel the same as being bullied.

Personally, I try very hard not to pre-judge someone on their appearance. There are times, though when their actions immediately makes me think " I wouldn't piss on him if he was on fire." As far as being more, or less acceptable. I can't say. I've encountered reverse discrimination alot, because most of my friends are of another race.

We don't agree on everything-but oh well\n\nThis site I saw on Oprah--everyone should bookmark it. I don't care what race they are. It has a purpose.\n\nAnd yes I see what your getting at. And it goes all ways depending on you county. \n\nThis post could benfit someone no matter what the reason for putting it here  . Good for you\nIs that your dog?\n\nThanks for the input.

I read one yesterday and was shocked at how many people wrote "I'm not racist, but but I hate..." It made me really sad, usually you see enlightened, intelligent sensitive people (for the most part barring the jokers) then suddenly to see the opposite- a bunch of bigots, with prejudice and hate.\n\nI thought these discusions could help eliminate hatred based on skin colour or where your parents were born. I guess we humans still have further to go than I thought.\n\nI'm English but live in South Africa. Here everyone is working towards overcoming the divides. It seems that in the UK it is more acceptable to a be a racist. Theres so much hatred. I dont want to live like that. But I advocate freedom of speech, and that must aply to everyone. Im going to just read the questions that deal with issues not based on a persons skin colour. \n\nNo you are not alone in your frustration. I just hope peoples attitudes can change for acceptance rather than hate.
