Eh, all bark and no bite. Go live in the hood for a few years then tell me how you feel about AA.


I see you spew your stupidity and uneducated nonsense all over the place dont you?? You dont even make sense with a stupid and unintelligent statement as that. Furthermore, I DONT need to live in the projects because I do work and I do EARN what I have. Again, only taking HALF of what you read and coming to an illogical statement like this only proves your lack of intelligence and ignorance.



I thought so.


You thought so what??? How about a point???? You always this miserable and disgusting in life? No wonder people cant tolerate liberals. Liberals and atheists are above and beyond the most hateful and angry individuals on this face of the earth.

I'm guessing you have never experienced a ghetto area first hand and you live in a state that is so remote that a ghetto simply doesn't exist.

Dont tell me what I have experienced and havent experienced. I have been homeless before. When you are homeless, youll be happy with ANYTHING that you get, even if it is the 'ghetto' because atleast you have a roof over your head and somewhere to sleep rather than sleeping on a pair of stairs in below zero weather. I WISHED that I had the government paying for me to live in the "ghetto" then.

I don't support the idea of AA, but considering this country does nothing for its poorest communities/ghetto.

Well, you can thank the liberals for that. They want to shell out the funds to aid people to scam the system, however, they refuse to fix up the ghettos. Thats not MY fault. Nor is it YOUR fault. Its no ones fault but the people who are so supportive, most liberals, of the welfare system. Anyone can see that the liberals dont care for these people either. They keep them in the ghetto, slum areas. They keep them in poverty. NOT me or not you for the most part. We pay our tax dollars to and fund these programs, which pisses me off seeing what I see. Now, the liberals are so in favor of these actions, however, they refuse to support faith based initiatives. How hypocritical.

I feel it is a necessary evil, especially considering the large amount of racism that still exists.
No one is denying the fact that there is still racism. What I have a problem with is that its being made out to be that only white people are racists, which anyone with some common sense would realize that is absolutely not true. How can a black person call someone a racist when they call eachother the "n" word. I HATE that word and I despise it even more hearing it coming from one black to another. Its appalling to hear because they take offense to others who call them that, yet, they can do the same thing. Dont sit there and tell me that blacks arent racist. That is NOT true at all, just as there are whites, mexicans, puerto ricans, etc, who are racists.

I don't think interbreeding will solve the problem. It's more class warfare than race at this point.

I think it's nice for the world to have different races, cultures. It'd be so boring to all be the same.

I like blacks for their humor, and their just flat out fun.

Whites are ok I suppose, but they aren't quite as loose as blacks.

Asians are fun, too. Now that I think about I like everybody the same pretty much. Just don't like mean, and that can be anybody, anywhere.

I thought they were complimentary. You eat potatoes, and I eat potawtoes.

If you identify a black as being black this is also racist. Sometimes racism doesn't really matter. It's not hurting anyone. You younger folks need to figure that out, and I believe you must be young to have pointed that out to me. It's ok, but I'm no more racist then you are, maybe less so.

I was taught as an even younger person not to make general statements or stereotypes about races. That's what you did.

There are positive stereotypes, and there are negative stereotypes. Both are racist.

No it isn't.

Races can have abilities that are unique unto them, probably not many, but they can.

Everything isn't sterotyping, and I think you may have taken it over the deep end.

Racism is racial discrimination.

A sterotype is a fixed or conventional notion.

Saying a certain race has a very good sense of humor, and that they are fun, is neither racist, nor sterotypical, it's just a comment on a personal observation.

If we can't say these things, and I do all the time to my black friends and they love it, all is lost. We will never have any good friendships.
