I heard that it was their bone mass, not the bone marrow.  That black people have heavier bones than other people. A swimming teacher told me this about 15 yrs ago. I always thought it was a strange concept - don't we all have the same kind of bones?

Just for the record, I am black. I can not speak for all blacks, but I can speak for my family and friends. We are all hard working people and NO ONE, has ever handed anything to me. I have worked myself through college to earn 4 degrees and I guarantee you that everything that I have earned has been obtained through hard work

because Black is a dominate gene.

Depends a bit on the colour of your skin too... but traditionally it would be red or black

Not all black people act "tough" as you say it. That is another stereo-type and it's wrong. Seems to me like you're then one acting tough. In your details you mention that you've fought a lot black guys. Do you go around looking for fights to get in? I mean I know that black people just don't come up to you and try to pick a fight with you everywhere you look. Lets be honest with ourselves instead of twisting reality into a story that's not true.

I'm black and I say we are people too. Yes there are some black people that commit crimes, but there are people like that in other races too. I feel trully honored to be a young black woman in the world today. I'm proud about my race and heritage. But the one thing I can not stand, about some people of my own race is that the ones that don't use their education call the ones that do use theirs, acting white. I don't see how wanting to better yourself and secure your future is acting white. I mean I think more education anyone has should make them better off in the world. Because you can get great jobs and be able to take care of your family. So that is one of the things that I don't like about my own race. Another thing I can't stand is the fact that some people of my race seek out reasons and ways things are racist. I say if you go looking for it you will always get smacked in the face with it. I think a few of those people are being even more racist, because you are searching for reasons for someone to hate on you. I say everyone in the black community and myself included should just go and live life, if you are held back in one area find another arena to get involved in. But don't give up at all. Just keep striving forward more than ever before. But thats just how I see things.

It's not an all or nothing thing, actually. Other races can get it, although it is far more common among blacks. The reason for this is that sickle cell is a genetic trait that confers advantange to those living in malaria-prone areas of the world, of which many parts of Africa and the Mediterranean are included. Sickle cell trait carriers are more resistant to malaria (as the parasite cannot survive well in sickled cells), and thus they passed this on to at least some of their children. In order to have the full-blown anemia, you must inherit the gene from BOTH parents.

I BELEIVE THAT WE WERE ALL CREATED EQUAL. WE ALL R HUMANS AND SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED BY THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN! I'M MEXICAN BUT I HAVE THE SAME COLOR BLOOD RUNNIN IN MY VEINS AS ALL PEOPLE. NO ONE SHOULD BE TREATED DIFFERENTLY OR BE TREATED BETTER THAN OTHERS. WITH THE SAME RESPECT AND DIGNITY!

I'm white and I've actually been told that I couldn't have any problems by more than one race. The only thing I can say, is that good and bad comes in all of God's colors as well as narrow minds. God gave us choice and sometimes people chose to believe what is easist to belive in order to release themselves of all responsibilty to a current situation or life situation. The other thing is that you are actually perpetuating the cycle by making a blanket statement. I do not have to be black to know in my heart, that not all black people think this way even though I did experenced exactly what you're talking about.

Just because your skin is black doesn't mean you're an "African-American." Many hispanics including Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, etc. have black/brown skin tones. Tasmanian Aborigines have darker skin colors and they're not African. Most Egyptians don't have black skin but they're still African.\n\nDavid Ortiz is both black and Hispanic because black does not imply African-American, it implies a darker skin color.

The thing is that black people started the hip hop/urban culture you are talking about, so that's why people say they act black.  The term I hear a lot is "wigger", that term has been around for years and years.  I know it sounds offensive to some, I am just stating the term and I don't mean anything derogatory by it.

Is it the color that get you in gang, or your choice?. Don't be stupid. And STOP the damn stereotyping. Not all Black people are gangs, I see gangs of all races. And IT IS NOT the color that makes you a gang, it is your decision. You are one stupid kid my friend..seriously.

Two Africans were kidnapped and brought to America as slaves, a man and a woman. The woman gets pregnant by the man. Would her baby not still be be African? Black people are African in race. We are American if we are born in America. The same goes for white people. You are not American just because you are white. You just happened to be born here. You may be Dutch, British, German or whatever. The only people of American ancestory is the Native American. What I want to know is why white people worry so much about what black people call themselves.

The same reason when people see im black they assume i'm good at basketball, steal, carry a weapon, have rythem, and eat fried chicken and watermelon. \nThe whole worlds a stage and we all have our parts to plasy, token white boy, violent black boy, smart asian, illegal hispanic, terroist middle eastern, and drunk russians. Its all crap, its all racist, and it will always exist.

Blood is everything!! You do not want children with problems, do you?\n\nFor your blood type, your best match is: \n\nType O\n\nA+ and B+ can cause hemogoblinia, which causes small stature in offspring and can cause clawlike hands to form\n\nA+ and A can cause 'Vampirism' which results in offspring that tends to stay out late, wear dark clothes, and engage in orgiastic bloodletting parties.\n\nO is the 'black' of blood. It goes with everything.
