I don't know but it is stupid.  It just perpetuates the image that they want to be rid of.  And it is just offensive for all people.

You can buy poppies at many garden stores.  They are not illegal and are beautiful when they flower!

i think red poppies glorify war, and just glorifying it every damn year encourages folk to think that warmongering is good - which it's not. And I don't see why we still are coughing up to fund these people who made the decision to sign up for the forces in the first place. You know the score when you join up - don't expect everyone else to pick up the pieces...\n\nOh, and I make my own white poppy - it's called recycling ;-)

I KNOW IT DRIVES ME CRAZY!\nBut I've been learning to ignore these people. If they catorgorize someone negatively and falsely by their race, they are RACIST. IF they catorgorize someone negatively and falsely by their sex, they are SEXIST. If they catorgorize someone by thier religion, belief, or nonbelief, they are FAITHIST. People need to be way less stuck up in thier own head and stop attacking people they do not understand... thank you, finally someone seeing this. I hope you are never hurt by what idiots say. We have to remember they are like children or worse, and only see things their way, are very judgemental, and still have yet to learn from it, no matter how old they are.

The Black Eyed Peas are just like any other group that decided mainstream pop was the path for quick financial success, even though musical quality is totally compromised. If it seems like it's mostly white people who like them now, that could be because whites are still the strongest voice in American popular culture. I'm white and I don't care for them, for the same reasons I almost never listen to the radio anymore: today's pop is terrible.

im white and i can like and dislike anyone i want. I am smart enough to know that evil people come in all colors. I am not very tolerant of people who do not like me because I am white. I dont like evil people who target children. I dont like people that sneak attack and blow people up. I dont like people that drag a human behind a pick up truck . I dont like people that support our enemies, I dont like people that think I owe them anything, I like that Im white, but I have never been another color to compare. I think Halle Berry is the hottest woman alive.

I could not believe this story when I read it! Surely it's 'Poppies red in Flanders field', not Poppies white!\n\nI have never associated red poppies with any particular religion, they are surely a symbol of remembrance of sacrifice. I am an atheist, and I wear my poppy with pride, not as a celebration of war or glorification of the military, but to respect and remember people like my grandfather, who hated war and hated the army, but who signed up to fight anyway, because he knew he was fighting real and tangible evil. It is such citizen-soldiery that the white poppy brigade are insulting, and yes. they should hang their head in shame.

you hate pink because it is a weak version of red.  whoever decided to mix red with the natural light's whore (white is all colors of light together if you didn't already know) is a mongoloid prick.  then again, we shouldn't be so predjudiced against the color because after everything's said and done, we're all still pink on the inside.

Ok, I won't call you white. But personally, I don't mind. Call me white, caucasion, European, Italo-German, cracker, whitey, albino. It doesn't matter to me, and people who get all tied up in that (especially people to whom skin color was an advantage in the past) are just silly.

That's the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard.....\n\nWho ever said that is a moron..\n\nI'm no expert on genetics, but unless your not involved in incest, the gene pool works perfectly fine without any interference from us, let nature take its own course.....\n\nPerfectly baked, I think your brain is perfectly baked....You think minorities are after all whites?  What are you saying?  Minorities come here holding their noses, they don't have a choice....  Define minority?  Our ancestors were all minorities...

Total nonsense! If someone said "Once you go white..." they would rightly be called a racist. It's amazing how these double standards prevail though! Go any damn color you want and go somewhere else if it's not satisfying. It's as simple as that!
