Hilary Clinton, becuase I thnink Condi is a sell out to the GOP, besides the GOP does'nt fairly represent black people. Just look at New Orleans. Besides she wants to be the NFL commissioner when Bushs time is up.

i understand what you're saying... it's over for us(white) but it just keeps on goin for you. when my sister married a black man it became clearer to me how much prejudice there still is today..i've also had some black friends "educate"me about what they go through and i feel a little less ignorant than before, but there's alot of ignorance  out there and i hope for your sake there are more changes coming

You are about the most racist person I've seen on this forum. My husband is African and we are expecting our first child in November. My child will be Black. I will do everything in my power to protect my child from ignorant bigots, including you. Grow up!

There are black people who don not like the N' word being used by other blacks and there are blacks who choose to use it with each other. However ALL blacks agree that no white person should use it EVER. Their is no word that black people can use that carries the pain, hatred, and brutal history of slavery and the struggle for  blk freedom that the N' word does.  Their are blk senior citizens who are still afraid of white people' because of what that word means.  No one will ever have the right to abuse us again. Don't get it twisted. Until your relatives are held down and raped in-front of you , your church is burned to the ground, your windows are broken out because you moved to a NICE neighborhood, Don't even consider using that word. unless of course your a racist. I prefer to know who the enemy is. I cannot give an excuse for other blacks who use it' but we don't need anyone adding to their ignorance. and I can't even begin to say what I think about that tree remark. Oh wait,  His career is hung and done just like that statement.

I think you probably don't understand what you are talking about because you are 12. Many blacks just act the way the do to defend themselves not because they are trying to attack people. Think about it, blacks don't label whites as colored when they are in black countries especially in Africa, instead they are cherished and loved. But it is the opposite where blacks are staying in white communities.

As a man of mixed race, I feel that the existence of black history month takes away from the achievments of the african american race.  It's almost like saying: "Since you guys did'nt do too much we will celebrate all your acheivements in one month and get it over with."  I think the acheivments of black people should be taught in context with the rest of America's achievments, why treat us special, are we no different than you?  As a native Bahamian, I think racial issues in the US are embarassing, and black folk hold equal share of the blame, I'll catch hell from it, but thats ok.  Back home we are all just people, granted most of us are black, a black man that calls another black man a "nig ga" is bound to get slapped, it is never acceptable, and I never got flack for having a white mother like I do in the U.S.  Its time for us to stop relishing in race, and be part of the human race.

Excellent points!  We're always being told that our ancestors enslaved them, but we're never told that our ancestors also fought and died to free them.  It's been 140 years since there was slavery.  There are so many programs to help black people, at the expense of white people.  Its about time black people quit looking for excuses and try to make it like I know they can.  And don't start calling me prejudice cause I aint!

oh, poor you. I'm probably the farthest thing from being black you have ever seen, but I see this as one of the problems of black society. You are doing you best to bring yourself up, but other people just can't accept that. The problem is that there just aren't enough black role models who don't throw a ball or talk bad on rap albums about women, at least none that have any respect from the black community. Sorry I couldn't help you.

As for me,I am white and married my black man.  I did not associate with my family for three years, yet they called me and they just don't talk about him.  When they start talking trash I let them know, "conversation over"!  I guess, they do love me or they would have nothing to do with me.  I know they are prejudiced, but I KNOW HATE does NOT exist in heaven!  I have to control myself, also because HATE creates HATE!  I love my husband more than anyone or anything I know.  I was never really ME until I met a man who loves me and will do anything for me.  He is first a MAN, and then a BLACK man.  God loves us all.  Where does it ever say in the ten commandments, "thou shall not marry one of another race!"? Where in the new testament does is say such a thing? It DOES not!!

I am a white 39 year old woman and I could not agree with you more. Many black men and women gave their lives so that their children and grandchildren could grow up in a better America. I think that it is a sin the way that the black "gangsta" rap and the way that the African American communities believe that it's alright to degrade themselves. Afican Americans want respect and I believe that it is a God given right to be treated with respect and dignity, however, to me it doesn't seem like they respect themselves at all. I am not saying that anybody has to conform to the "white America" , many ethnic groups have their own traditions and I respect that-I mean this is America and diversity is one of the things that I believe make this a great nation. I, however, do believe that Dr. King and Ms. Parks would be appalled at what has become of their struggles to insure that all African Americans have equal rights and have the same opportunities that whites have. What ends up happening over time is that the black youth start to believe what they hear-that all women are ho's and all black men are considered cool if they have been in jail, and instead of this being something to be ashamed of, they consider it a "badge" of honor. I also believe that we as a nation have a very long way to go before EVERYONE is treated fairly with dignity and respect, but I truly believe that the degradation of black on black is not moving America forward, but just the opposite, it's setting us as a nation back.

I hate it when a black person assumes that because I am white I support slavery or ever had an ancestor who had slaves. They seem to forget it was blacks who sold them into slavery and white's who fought to free them. Not all whites supported slavery!  I think it was horrible but I am also sick of them thinking they are entitled because of it.  What about the jews? They were wronged too, what do they get?  The Indians we stole this land from were wronged, what do they get?  I think it is unfair that they can have all black beauty pageants, all black colleges, all black scholarships, we cannot have an all white anything or we would be in big trouble for discrimination, not that I would want to anyway, but how fair is that????!!!!!  I think everyone should have the same rights and I am sick of hearing how they think they have less rights when they actually have MORE.  They will get a job even if less qualified and I have seen first hand how they can sit around and do nothing and cannot be fired, by law, because company would be in trouble if they fired them.  I like black people, but it angers me to no living end that they get away with stuff like that!  I have black friends and have heard them make remarks about getting retribution one day.  That is a real pisser offer for me!!!!  I have done nothing wrong to them!

I was sent a video of a black man calling for the blacks to kill all "whiteys".....it is on the internet...why was he allowed to get away with that?\nWhy don't the news guys go hunt him down and make him reveal sources and make them appologise?\nWhy do the blacks feel the need to kill all the whites? Why do black americans feel the need to take over?\nI think maybe it's time to give the other children a chance at scholarships and make the blacks stand in line like the rest.\nIf they want to be equal..lets start now...no favoritism!\nThe entertainers, the newsmen, the actors, the sports players have great paying jobs and they are mostly black now..\n\nwhen will it be enough?

As a proud Black American (yes I said BLACK American NOT AFRICAN American).....We are not Africans. We are Americans and even the Africans will tell you that.  For millions of us our blood is way too diluted to consider ourselves to be solely African. To answer your question, I could really care less about what blacks in other countries and other cultures think of and say about us.  We have been through hell and back for the past 500 years. Our People (the generational Black Americans) have struggled and thrived in the United States for Hundreds of years.  Over the years race mixing has occured between our African Ancestors and Europeans and our African Ancestors and Native Americans.  Most Authentic Black Americans are of diluted blood and aren't pure African at all.  Our features, culture and heritage has evolved into something different than that of our African Ancestors to make us who we are as an ethnic group today.  We have our own rich history, culture, and heritage.  Many of us Black Americans don't even realize how rich our heritage is.  We don't need the approval of Africans or Carribeans or any other blacks to feel good about ourselves and confident in who we are.  We may have our problems, but what ethnic group doesn't?

I'm black. I respect all, white, indians even martians (if they are there), because they are human beings. I wouldn't mind making friends with any of them. To me its fun, coz I'm exposed to lots of different ideas. Like once, my indian friend told me they throw away chipped cups. Ok, we don't keep loads of em, but to us its not an issue. All that and may more. We're all human beings. Try living with an a black person, especialy where I live (Tanzania - East Africa), you'll know how EXTREMELY GREAT, blacks are! They may not speak english fluently, but they will surely give you a great treat!!!! LETS RESPECT EACH OTHER

I'm not black, but I like alot of black artists, so why should the color of your skin matter? Why should it matter, period? God made us all in His image. I think saying you should do this or that, or shouldn't do this or that because your white, black, etc. is absolutely ridiculous. We are all human beings! Listen to what you like! Be your own person!
