I feel exactly the same..unfortunately theres not much chance of being successful because your white (same here). Don't get down about it. She's right, above, you need to have a back-up career. Its common sense. \nI wouldn't mind collabin with you. send us your contact details and I'll be in touch shortly. \n\n1 tip- be original, be different, be individual, be unique- and you will shine like the star you are. Simple as. oh and ignore the haters.

This question is completely ludacris. First of all you cannot simplify who someone is to a color. White generally means of european descent. But You have white people living all over the world and they are (like all the other races) going to be good or bad at things as much because of their environment as genetics. Chances are (whatever your color) that if you come from a long line of mean overweight bald drunks and grow up poor with shit for education and a bunch of junkies for friends you are going to be less inclined to excel in life then if you are born with a personal trainer and a doctor for parents and attend private schoool with tutors. Sadly there are alot more white folks who come from privelidged homes and families with greater resources and societal connections. This promotes the fallacy that caucasions are genetically superior. I am here to tell you it is drivel. The fact is that the number of caucasions living in america greatly dwarfs the number of other races. (This is why they are referred to as minorities.) Now taking that into consideration, you begin to realize that there is strength in numbers. The governmental and educational systems are controlled by predominately (you guessed it) white leaders. There are far more white employers. There are more white communities. So as a white in america, the odds are stacked in your favor. There is a greater chance you come from money. There are more educational and career oppurtunities available to you. You are less likely to be harrassed by the police or to be approached by gang members. You are less likely to come from a broken home or have a relative in prison. Less likely but it is not an absolute. I believe that anyone who is willing to take a true and honest evaluation of self and try purposely to improve is capable of soaring to the greatest heights while overcoming the greatest odds. Also bear in mind that these truths only apply to the middle class whites and the upper castes. There are lots of poor white families who live in bad areas and face similar obstacles. There are however (again) way more white people living in the US and the white people living at the poverty level are a smaller percentage of the whole which further supports the illusion of superiority. Now with all of that being said. If a white kid has both parents at home and comes from money, then attends an ivy league school and becomes a researcher and wins a nobel prize. Then at the same time you have a troubled black youth who grows up in compton in a broken home with a parent in jail that he has never met and is constantly approached with drugs and violence and racist police and has no money for college but finds a way and gets his degree from podunk U and becomes a researcher despite it all and gets that same nobel prize. Then tell me, who is the better man? \n\nI have no idea where your head is at on this and for all I know it could be an innocent question. But you should probably be more specific in the future. the question "Are white people the best" comes across as ignorant. I am not attacking you or assuming you are. Just letting you know it could be pretty offensive depending on who is reading it.

Try researching your genealogy. It may prove to be a difficult task and you may never find out. Just be comfortable with being a human being and do not worry about the percentage of other races that made you up. You are a child of the universe like everyone else. You have a right to be here.

Being proud of who you are can be good, but if people see your tattoo of "white pride" they are going to judge you without getting to know you that you are indeed racist.  You are labeling yourself as a racist even if you don't mean to.  Everyone who sees you can see that you are white.  Why do you neeed a tattoo to say it again?  What you need to think about is why do you need to have the tatoo say that to feel that you are defining yourself to someone.  We all see races but if you see people for who they really are then you may not need that tattoo.  \n\nSince you said, "I just like being who I am," Why do you like about being white?  What did you do besides be born white to merit being proud about it?  Think about that.  Try to be proud of what you have accomplished, not what you have been born with, because that is no accomplishment at all and nothing to be proud of.  The wiser you become the more you will see this.  \n\nAlso, go rent a fantastic movie that has a bit about racist tattoos: American History X.  You will like it.\n\nTake care\n\nTake care

so only black people are allowed on BET huh?  and, naturally, you see nothing wrong with that do you?  ever hear of "segregation is inherently unequal?" your grandaddy ever tell you that- he probably did, but you were too caught up in your MTV world to ever really understand the words huh?  Your a disgrace to your own people...i/m italian and i know more about african american history than you!- that must make your folks proud!  while i have your attention, being an athlete or rapper is not the only way to become successful...go to school and stop worrying about DJs on BET

I agree with you, and what never fails to amaze me is the number of young white middle class males who buy their stuff, and copy their idol's image. white  'gangsta wannabe's' are amusing additions to the street scene as long as you don't step on them.

You could get involved as a Social Worker and then build on that to improve racial relations! Go for it! I am white and all for all races of people becoming simple a person and not catogorized by the color of one's skin! Good Luck!!!

Actually, I know a lot of upper lower and just plain lower class white people who listen to a lot of rap, and I feel I can fairly assume that they are a reflection of a more widespread trend among their peers, thus I'd wager a lot of lower class white people listen to a lot of rap.\n\nSo, that probably blows your percentage.\n\nOh, and there was a night spot in my town where I went every Thursday for DJ House Party/Hip Hop night.  The whole damn building would shake and sway, I kid you not.  Damn, but those were some hellacious nights.  I miss 'em (bar closed and no one else filled the spot).\n\nI'm a white dude of varying income levels...

Because you wanted to be a particular person, it was not racist of you.  If one wants to be Michael Jackson, they are not being racist.  The fact that Dr. Dre or Michael Jackson are black is a side issue, just a coincidence.  Your focus was on being one particular person.  Even a black guy or woman who wanted to be Dr. Dre would have had to wear a costime, right?  Your coloring your skin was necessary to convey the persona.....  That's what you should tell him...   If you can, have a bunch of friends, of any race, sign a form stating that they were not offended, that they know you, and never think you might be racist.

Don't listen to some of these people.\nAll (strait) men in general are attracted to beautiful women, so that's one thing you already have going for you. You also seem very confident in yourself and that's also a very important quality. \nI think white men are very similar to black men as far as how easy it is to approach them. I like the comment that the one girl made about being yourself. You have to remember that if you being black is an issue for you in the relationship than it will be an issue for your partner. It's always good to go into any situation with an open mind. Flirt, have fun and be yourself! \nKeep in mind that most white men are not as confident and as egotistical as black men. \nYou don't want to seem like your desperately looking...\nAllow yourself the chance to be picky. Don't think that the first white guy that comes along will be the only white guy that is interested. I hope I helped answer your question and give you some positive guidelines to improve your search.\nGood luck and best Wishes\nKrystal \nHiett_0125@yahoo.com

You should feel really fortunate for having been born white. Be glad that people don't automatically assume the worst about you. Don't be bitter.\nUnfortunately, minorities have been the targets of systematic oppression in this country for centuries. Dark skinned people have had many doors slammed in their faces based on their skin color alone, and still do. These programs are aimed at opening new doors of opportunity by considering the limitations placed on people of color and what achievements have been made in spite of those limitations. Keep in mind, there isn't a scholarship waiting for every little minority child. There are still qualifications to be met. And there is still a lot of unmet need.\nLook for scholarships aimed at: people in your family's income bracket, geographic area, who attended school in your district, with your religious affiliation, members of school clubs and organizations, children of union members, children of employees of some firms, children of alumni to some colleges and universities, children of parents with certain occupational affiliations, and people of your ancestral background (i.e. Welsh, Irish, Italian, etc.), to name a few. For more info go to http://www.fastweb.com/.\nAlso consider employers that offer tuition reimbursement. That's how I earned my way through college.

This came straight from my dads(Master P)mouth. You right a couple of raps(I'd say about ten to get started). You make a demo of the cd. You send it to a record company(No Limit, Shady Records, ect. ect. ect. ect.). If they like it they'll give a deal and you make another demo. After the second demo you make your first cd and your a rapper.\n\nEasy has that.

There's nothing noble about my arts.  I haven't mastered any of them yet.  I engage in music, writing, a bit of drawing, and a few others.  Maybe someday I will improve enough to be worthy of the noble arts.

I dont think thats true at all, we should respect all different art forms cuz some rappers are really poetic, just listen to Common sense or Mos Def, Dont be so closed minded buttmunch! (and this is coming from a guy who deosn't even like rap)
