after 30 yrs in america, i'd say the cure to racism is to stop pretending it's not there. embrace it head on and see what happens.

after a few slurs and jokes, most people get over it. unless you're dealing with people who look for reasons to be offended, then run.

I think all of us, regardless of color, sex, religion, education, location, ect... are always going to deal with a select few factors that have been stigmatized into people's brains, rather they are stereotypes or whatever...

That is life.

Thinking that we can create a society that is trouble free/dilemma free can become incredibly destructive. While we all agree with the intentions and motivations of policies/laws/whatever that remedy any given issues, there are few that think about the repercussions/costs- "WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!"

As for racism (the given issues), going on a vocal print campaign that paints the white man as privileged and oppressive (the remedy) is incredibly and ironically regressive.

This is sooo much bullshit...

1. Whites dont have WETV like there is a BETV...
2. Whites dont get discounted or free college or university rates
3. Whites dont get a history month

i'm guessing: girls see d1cks like guys see t1ts. in the end, it's still what do you with it all.

btw smyles, what are you?

Yes you do. It's called CMT.

Itl go round in circles forever, because the second you point out there is a diffirence in skin colour, you point out the fact races will never be identical. As soon as that happens, you have differences that are measured.

Just like how people are judged for being too fat or too thin. Unless we are all identical, human nature seems to dictate we will always argue over our differences. I'm a firm believer in the fact itl never go away.

^ in college i suggested we all cross breed and become a world of hawaiians, and the counter was that we'd just be judged by height.

and you're right, certain races are prone to certain diseases (e.g. blacks worry about sickle cell, whites get skin cancer more easily, asians are more prone to lactose intolerance, i even read somewhere that jews are immune to hiv): you can bet your ass the differences don't stop there. the goal is not to claim that we're all equal, we aren't. but you play the hand you're dealt and accept that we're different. and again, it's what do with it all.

i'm not 7 ft tall, i don't have perfect features like audrey hepburn. but god damn it, i'm smart (with rich parents) and that's what i'm playin'

where u at?

mental pictures:

prison inmate rates, by race
illiteracy rates, by race
college graduation rates, by race
nobel laureates, by race
average household income, by race
billionaires, by race
unemployment rates, by race
average net worth, by race
welfare recipient rates, by race
average inner city population, by race
hiv infection rates, by race
average life expectancy, by race
average credit score, by race
deadbeat dads, by race
substance abuse cases, by race

just one more... most likely to lose control and get violent rates, by race

not really, i gave up picking up girls. i'd rather just go to amsterdam and pay for it (they're hotter anyway).

[txz4]

Did not think it was true until i looked up the video. Damn. So right!

[pwrdbynel]

Racism is just ignorance. Every educated person I work with, have work for, or hire has no believe in racism. Besides do we forget we are racist to our own race. Blacks ( Chris rock) "their is black people and *****s and *****s have got to go. Mexicans ( George Lopez) any joke will do. Whites ( Larry the cable guy) again any joke will do. Different races are racist among themselves. That itself is an issue. Lets make fun of my race but when a white, black, Latino, Asian, or middle eastern does, that's wrong. Yet you encourage it and make a profit. I'm going back to ignorance being an issue

I'm Dutch white caucasian btw and my wife is Colombian.

No racism here in my house. Never. But I'm not a big fan of some religions....I'm a big fan of Beyonce and Halle Berry though.

And in history we Dutch 'invented' modern slavery and 'Apartheid'(racism)in S Africa. Do I feel sorry for that? I wasn't there yet...So what can I say?
And it has nothing to do with me as a 20/21st century person.

We Dutch also founded New York, but I wasn't (t)here either when that happened LOL.

BET doesn't ban white people from watching the channel (why would they want to watch anyway when majority black people don't watch it either)

Never heard of black people being charged less for a college education opposed to white people. Books cost the same in the store.

Blacks have a month while whites have every holiday. lol BTW I agree with Morgan Freeman's take on black history month.
