Do you believe racism is at an all-time high? If so, Who projects most of it?

I have read alot of people immature answers to simple questions such as "Would you let your daughter marry a black man?" Why do some caucasians feel superior to the blacks in america? Why are we judge by the color of our skin? etc. Give me an answer please. The reponses were ridiculous. I can't get over Mr. ku klux klan kool. He responed "give that monkey a banana." Just way out of control. And for the ones who might misinterped what I'm saying, this is not a racist question. I just want to know what you think and how you feel OKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

Do you believe racism is at an all-time high? If so, Who projects most of it?
I think racism is alive and well but is practiced more discretely and in a pc fashion. We see it in White flight (moving to neighborhoods without minority presence), we see it in private schools (to get away from minorities), we see it in Affirmative Action (if Blacks and Mexicans have problems "representing" then why the quotas and preferential hiring? Why don't we see similar quotas for jews and Orientals who do "represent" without needing reverse discrimination, oops I mean "help"?), and we even see it where a particular minority can use and call each other the "n-word" but anyone else uses it they claim to be able to use assault and violence to defend it (Is this not exclusionary? Is this not race based? Indians were treated poorly, Japanese "interned", Irish/Italians were openly discriminated at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th century and what makes it ok for Blacks to insult the rest of us with "you don't understand" flippant remark? Sorry but every race has been a slave, what's their problem getting over it?). I think the difference between those who openly say their racist and ones who won't is a certain level of honesty, honor, and level of consequences that they pay for saying their true feelings.





Most of all I see people claiming "equality" when no one believes in any of it. Does anyone honestly believe Orientals (Asia has too many races to call them "Asians") would make better football players, basketball lineup, boxers, or athletes in general average over Blacks (if you want to talk physical difference height, limb lengths, mass, etc)? If you entered into an advanced scientific, mathematics, physics, Engineering (I'm biased, my field), chemistry, or mental fields do you really believe you'll find Blacks representing in mathematical ratios higher than Orientals (we hear the stereotype of Orientals being smart)? We see Whites representing in the these fields in fact they made the most impact in the world and most would consider them competitive but would not consider Blacks and Orientals competitive with one another in these opposite fields for good reason, the dearth of their presence in each one. Yet I'm the racist for pointing out such a truth yet no one will be able to pull any stats from any non-Black college, government, or poll to disprove my claim but go look at any sport team roster in America (a "diversity" country) and you won't see Orientals there in numbers equal to world population ratio or Blacks in Science/Engineering/Chemistry clubs in any non-Black college equaling 12% of membership.





Many will claim racism is based on ignorance, self esteem issues, or people who must prop themselves up by belittling others. I will post sources below to prove I'm not ignorant. I will point out that Blacks over represent in crime and two sources I point out will show in my first source they commit crime at three times or more than percentage of population, on my second link our government points out "Based on current rates of first incarceration, an estimated 32% of black males will enter State or Federal prison during their lifetime, compared to 17% of Hispanic males and 5.9% of white males." yet with numbers backing me I'm the bigot for "profiling" when science backs it up (I can't find the source at this time but I also was about to post that most of people employed by the government are disproportionately in Black favor to prove the information on those sites are factual but then from this source http://www.eeoc.gov/federal/fsp2002/part... you'll notice a higher disproportionate hiring of Blacks over their population representation but not removing the AA policy). Oh by the way my third source shows that Blacks need to belittle White inventions/inventors to prop their self esteem to make it seem they have contributed more to society they they really have, the fourth link is a site with references and resources to debunk such claims. If you claim all races are equal then it shows racism against Whites in favor of Blacks, all that believes in equality are the truly ignorant, suffer self esteem issues, and prop others thru belittling Whites.





I'm a biracial half White/Oriental, I came to America from liberal parents who didn't teach me any racial beliefs to bias my opinion, I kept an open mind, interacted with others, researched, and came to conclusions that most people know from common sense. Minorities have political action groups (naacp, adl, etc) but you don't see Whites with any similar groups (any group representing them are considered "hate" groups) so if anything Whites are scared to show racism because they get sued or business gets hit because of negative publicity (products get pulled from shelves, radio/tv won't air their commercials, etc). We've all heard non-Whites use slurs describing Whites in their presence but Whites don't do it in front of us because they know the consequences of being branded a "racist" in today's society. The real racists with the real power are not White in fact the darker you are the more power you wield, right now the most racist group of all are Blacks.





Want a demo? Take a few Whites into a Black neighborhood and hear them make racial cracks without one Black person chastising them about it. Take a small number of Blacks to a majority White area and most Whites are silent and if one makes a crack the other Whites will chastise them (mainly so they won't be branded a racist). I can give a lot of similar things but I really don't have too, we all know the truth but unfortunately most people don't know history, it will be repeated, and Whites have always won in disproportionate numbers against non-Whites. What will I do? Luckily for me I speak multiple languages, have a skill, and will vacate when the SHTF and White back-lash begins, it's not a matter of "if" it's simply a matter of "when" because many keep getting pushed in a corner (they keep getting blamed for racism when they aren't and these encounters are what really creates racism). We saw it happen to Blacks during the civil rights movement and we'll see it happen during civil rights two. The pendulum swings both ways but nevertheless cuts the same...

Reply:I dunno wuts up with that either. all these racist people on here. I dont know what makes any race think their better than anyone. Everybody has the same stuff [[heart, organs, exc]] and the stupid little comments are annoying. 2 me, race is nothing.
Reply:globalisation and an increasing world population mean that the chances of racist people having children who they brainwash with slurs increases.





ignorance breeds ignorance.
Reply:No I think systematic racism was probably a lot worse 50 or 100 years ago. It just seems worse now because the internet allows any total idiot to spew their racist opinions.
Reply:I don't know, there are always going to be some bigoted people of any race. But I see a lot more people of different ethnicity's being Friends, dating, even getting married now than I used to, We all have differences, but people may be relaxing a little bit more now, I like people who are mature and intelligent, and who don't act rudely, no matter what color their skin might be. I have Friends from several kinds of backgrounds. As long as they (people) treat me decently, that's How I will treat them.
Reply:I think that there are immature racists on here. But there are racists everwhere and in every color. Im against judging on ones skin color. I think that they are insecure with themselves so they take it out on others.
Reply:There is nothing new under the sun.I must say that the perfect example of when racism was at an all time high was slavery.I think people are becoming more vocal in the current times because although there is no more or less hate than there was then,oppression because of gender/ethnicity is at an all time low.It's not half as easy as it was way back when for Bigots to act out their hate.
Reply:I think the mentality of a racist is exactly like the one of say a sexist. Think about it. A man trying to keep a woman down is exactly the same as any race trying to keep another race down. It's not just a white/black thing. In Yugoslavia it was a Serb/Croatian thing. In Iraq its the Kurds versus the Sunnis or Shi-tes or whatever. It's always something. People suck. It's like tyranny, when it goes unchecked, it's going to take place. Even dogs, when you have 2 dogs, there is always one trying to control the other. I agree that people should know better, but when people feel threatened, they tend to behave just like animals.

Reply:I think "racists" - some of them are just trying to get a rise - online tend to be a bunch of cowards who wouldn't dare speak some of the stuff they do in real life to someone of another race, since they don't want to get punched in the face or run over by a car or anything.

Reply:Did you all know that negroes commit far more crimes against Whites than Whites do to negroes? So while you're offended by "rassism", I'm offended by the fact that negroes are only 12% of the American population yet commit over half of the violent crimes.
Reply:Racism may not be as violent as it has in the past, at least in america. However, it has taken on different forms and they are just as damaging. With the disapproving looks/stares, verbally insulting people you think are weaker or stupid in a way that they wonder after the fact if they were really being made fun of(a classic of sit-coms, not really that funny when you think about it), maybe rap music (they always seem to play victim and never seem to recover - rise above - because that would be selling out or something.), white skinned (I say white-skinned people because Europe seems to classify race by: russian, german, polish, french, italian etc. and of course by religion.......) people seem to harbor little racisms for some reason or another.





At the highschool I went to the black guys and the russian guys argued all the time and could never get along. I always tried to understand this. I mean what the heck could a black guy and a russian guy have to agrue about? Come on. Any way, one day I was sitting in the library alone when some of the russians came and sat at my table. They proceeded to speak rapid russian while I read my book or whatever. Troy a male friend who happened to be black came in the library that morning. He came fast as he saw me.....but slowed when he saw the russians sitting there. Then he stopped and glared at me. I shrugged my shoulders and went back to what I was doing. When all of a sudden the russians burst into laughter. You know, when I hear people laugh hysterically I usually cannot help myself and I start laughing. As the case with the russians. Troy left and hardly spoke to me after that day. The leader of the pack said something again in russian and the pack laughed....I laughed...they looked at me with questioned looks.....the leader of the pack asked, "Do you know russian?" I said no because I don't. Then he asked, "Why do you laugh then?" I said I'm having a laughing spell. Then I asked them, why do they fight with the black guys at school. They all looked at eachother and the leader said something in russian and they all left. I tried asking Troy but, he wouldn't say a word. It was weird and made no sense.





Heck I don't know I was watching Holocaust videos on YouTube and some of the uneducated comments were disgusting. The really sad and embarrassing part was you could tell who the racist americans were from the others. The terms one idiot posted made me realize that the Holocaust in Europe ended in 1945 while America was still racist against its own people for many years after........today it is not as violent so it seems but it is still lingering about. It can and may flare up at any moment. Racism, it always seems to be on peoples minds every minute. Why is that?

Can an extremely possessive dog be helped?

I have two Dachshunds, The first one we have had since a puppy. Great dog, male, five years of age. The second one we retrieved from a shelter app. a year ago. Age 5-6? He was found running the streets with a German Sheppard. When we got him home he was skin and bones, but, as sweet as could be. This little dog has so much personality and so loveable, but he has turned into Dr. Jykle and Mr. Hide. The last several months he has become increasingly worse. When tired or cozily comfortable and asked to get out of his comfort zone he becomes vicious, also he will pick a person be cozy with, or to just lye around with. If any one comes near him it is attack city. He has bitten my 21 year old daughter when she was home for a visit. He has bitten my 25 year old son and my wife. He will attack me when I return home from work and he is with my wife or the other way around and my wife comes home after me. He will take a liking to a friend over to watch a movie and attack my wife or myself. Help!!

Can an extremely possessive dog be helped?
Good luck, Dachshunds are notorious biters (ours, as kids, were VERY sweet)... or so I heard my vet explaining to a new puppy owner recently, to my surprise. I would visit yahoo groups and look up "campnaughtydog", they are mostly English Mastiff folks there, but all breeds in need are welcome. That site has some of the BEST dog trainers in the country who are more than willing to give lots of advice, support and even help you locate a specialist in your area if necessary. Hope this helps, and all works out with the dog. God bless you for trying.
Reply:Obedience training for him, and watch TONS of The Dog Whisperer, because he deals with this kind of behavior ALOT. We've learned tons from that, its an excellent show.





My dachshund puppy is somewhat like this to and I've been getting very strict with her on that, because I don't need her to be aggressive. So far she will snap at my cousins if she's comfy somewhere and they try to pick her up (especially off of me) Once she was sleeping on a blanket (just fell asleep) on a foot stool and if it hadn't been me who touched her she would've taken a chunk outta my hand (she stopped when she realized it was me).
Reply:It sounds like your dog thinks he is the dominant one of the household, thats why he picks and chooses what he does and who he does it with. He SHOULD be grateful for your familys attention at any time. Firstly, kick him off the couch! Remind him that he is the dog in the family and not human. At any sign of tempermental behaviour put him outside or in a punishment room for a few minutes. This behaviour can be very common and my best advice for you is to check out some dog whisperer dvds, they will help you enough without needing to use a trainer, but follow the techniques properly.
Reply:Yes. Have you ever watched the show on TV "The Dog Whisperer"? It's on the National Geographic Channel. I recently watched an episode that was very similar to your problem, and he resolved it very quickly. They say, even though it looks easy, don't try it yourself. I would suggest contacting him. Looks like a case he may take on. I would guess, contact the network. He's amazing. Or, you could try a local trainer.
Reply:You've got a resource guarder that may also have fear issues. You need to find a trainer that uses positive reinforcement techniques to work with you.This is not going to be an easy journey with this dog, but understanding the dog a bit and how dogs learn will help you. There are good books on this site





www.fearfuldogs.com/books.html





You need to understand triggers and thresholds to keep everyone safe. When behaviors like this are not worked with appropriately (and punishment is often inappropriate) you end up with it getting worse. You really need to find a class and someone with experience to help you. There is a website apdt.com that lists certified trainers.

Hmm...zits?

Okay, this is an odd question, so sorry if I sound like an idiot! Anyhow, I hardly ever get acne, but I have two pimples on my face at the moment. I know not to pop them and I've been using this acne cream. Still, the one that's healing faster is getting increasingly dark. The swelling has gone down, but the skin looks different. Is there any way to avoid scarring, or is this just normal? Thanks! :) ~ Mr. Wonderful

Hmm...zits?
You don't sound like an idiot...your worry is perfectly normal, so there's nothing to apologize about, dude. Now, having said all that, let me give you my opinion on "zits".





i believe that it's a no-win situation with zits for MOST ppl. If you pop a zit, it may leave a hole, or a permanent scar. On the other hand, if you don't pop a zit, it may shrink on its own after a few days (if you can stand walking around with it on your face), but you run the risk of having it become a permanent "black-head" or dark brown spot on your skin. This dark spot will be so flat that it looks like it's just a part of your skin. If acne creams and patches (like Oxy and what not) don't seem to do the trick on eradicating your zits, then i'd rather suffer a few days of looking "ugly" then they'll shrink on their own (rather than popping them and having my face look like moon craters for the rest of my life). Later on, these dark patches can be removed at a facial (or beauty) salon...they have ways to remove them without surgery, as my mom and girlfriend have told me. (Of course, you can also opt for cosmetic surgery too if you got the money). So, really, it's a matter of preference how each person wants to treat their zits. Your call, dude.
Reply:it cancer get it check
Reply:You're going to have a red mark on there for a little while, but don't worry about it dude it will go away normally people on get scars if they have A LOT of zits.
Reply:its normal hun it will turn in2 a sort of scab that can b picked off...jus wash ya face with warm water to open up ya pores then apply the cream....the spot will point out at every1 but it wil disapear!!!dont squeeze or pop it wil spread!!xx
Reply:try puting a dab of mouth wash on it. it should dry up over night and they go away twice as fast as not doing n/e thing.
Reply:a peeling regimen will do the trick while it is still healing. put a dab of Tretinoin ointment on affected areas only.





hyperpigmented scars/areas (meaning a healed lesion) make use of sulfur or papaya soaps to even out the color and become homologous with your skin color
Reply:Try Clinique's Post Acne Formula. You just rub a little on the scar, and it helps it to go away, it REALLY works. You just have to use it for a little while. Follow the directions on the package.
Reply:It's normal just keep doing what your doing.
Reply:It is normal it will be back to normal after just a few days weeks(not more than a month)


Don't worry it is absolutely normal:)


I need some advice?

I have been looking for mr right for a long time. It is very hard to find him since I am a virgin and all guys wanna do is u kno what. It hurts me b/c guys dnt like me because I dnt give it up and I am not light skin. (but I am caramel complextion) but it is so hard to see couples everywhere but I dnt know what to do can I have ur advice!!!

I need some advice?

Reply:would you go out with me?
Reply:don't give it up till your ready





keep looking for Mr Right





any guy that pressures you to have sex is just after sex





tell him go home and jerk off





keep looking

Reply:find some one you like and they like you for you and is not a pervert like all others
Reply:Don't stop believing what you believe in just in the hope that he is Mr. Right!!!! Stop looking for Mr. Right and he will come to you! Go out start getting to know people and then you may realise that there are guys out there that want "it" but they won'r pressure you into it.
Reply:I know what you mean, about seeing other couples and wanting what they have, but at the same time you don't want to compromise your own principles.





The guys that don't like you because you won't give it up, if you were to get involved with them you would be miserable in the end. They wouldn't respect you.





Bottom line, be true to yourself and you will have no regrets.





The good news is when you do meet Mr. Right, and there really is no telling how long that will take, you will know he is the one by the way he treats you and the way he doesn't pressure you to have sex. He will make you feel good on the inside, and then later when you're ready you can let him make you feel good on the outside.

Please, no rude comments. I am so insecure! And, I hate that myself. I'm a religious person, and I know I am God's creation, and I should be happy with what I got. I also have a very loving bf who thinks I am just the beautiful and sexy girl he has ever seen. But I cant accept that! I believe hes lying to me. I'm a junior in high school, and I see all the other girls, and I just wish I could look like them. I have 32B boobs, brown a little off past shoulder length brown hair, I have some hormonal problem, because I need eyebrows and lip waxed continually. I also dont throw myself all over guys. And guys like big boobs, long hair, and I don't dress showing skin either. Jeans, sneakers and a sweater, or t-shirt. I just feel so bad, I know your probably thinking i should grow up, but it really does hurt. I feel so low. I just wish I could have a guy look at me. And my bf deserves better I believe, a girl he can actually show off to his friends. I just wish I could look like those girls...

There is nothing wrong with you. I know how you feel though, because I often doubt good things about myself when I hear them from other people. Eventually you'll just realize that people aren't just telling you what they think you want to hear, to make you feel good. They really mean it.


It's something you just come to realize over time. Don't beat yourself up worrying about it.
Reply:You are beautiful in your own way. And remember beauty is skin deep. Be thankful your boyfriend chose YOU as his girlfriend, out of those materialistic girls.
Reply:ok........... whats ur point
Reply:you never really said why you think he's lying to you. If you think he's being dishonest why are you even bothering with this when you know you are NOT desperate girl. Don't worry about facial hair and clothes. Listen, Im in my 40's blonde hair 116# and my boobs are a 36A. That's all I got, but my boobs don't decide who I am. I do. You're pretty but you're feeling ugly because you're comparing yourself to your schoolmates. Once you stop caring what people think of you and only care what YOU think of you, everything will fall into place for you. God bless!
Reply:honey...wow i have the same issue...my husband thinks i am the best looking girl around...and i finally believe him





if he loves you he adores you...he will care for you no matter what...





if you dont start believing him, he may get tired of it and leave...i know you dont want that so please love yourself...
Reply:I think that everyone is different, and you should really pray to God so he can help you through all of your troubles....I am also in Junior High, so I TOTALLY understand. I'm a 32C cup and I was always really self-concious. Just learn to love yourself, and then you will be happy!
Reply:just act like yourself and just cause you dont show skin doesnt mean you arent pretty try doing something new with your hair every once a while also where CUTE SHOES! hope that helped
