I believe that behaviors like this are diffrent depending on where you are in the world and what the local economics are. I live in the deep south where there seems to be an automatic dislike for whites by the black populace. I am the sort of person who is nice to everyone, no matter what ethniticy they are or their sexual prefrences, but I have experienced the opposite of one of the other respondants. There have been too many times t count when I have been in line at a sore or at a fast food place and the black man or woman ahead of me is bantering nicely with the black clerk. Now when I get to the front of the line the reaction to my presence will vary. There are sometimes that I am treated just as well as the last customer who was black, but most times the reaction varies from their demeanor becoming stony to outright disdain being apparent. It really saddens me when I get a reaction like this but unfortunately the Black/white rift in the south is not healed and it will not be until the racisim stops on both sides of the race line.

This is something I think a lot of people do not understand along with teen pregnancy. My view is that it is the parents of the teen that will be the ultimate factor (male and females) in the sex equation. For example, I can tell just by your comments that you had a parent (most likely religeous) that has sat down and talked with you about sex. I am not saying they had the RIGHT talk with you (making sex out to be taboo and dirty if done out of marrage…hay it happens) but they had the talk with you in a timely manner. I have come up with the diffrent scenarios to give you an idea of how parent interaction can play a role. (1) Parent does not discuss sex at all. Teen experiments and goes wild with little knowledge of consequence. Teens in this situation usually have sex thinking that it will get the guy/girl to love them possibly due to a lack of love and/or attention at home. (2) Parent is not comfortable with ‘the talk’ and is either waay to vague or waits too late. Teen is curious and experiments. (3) Parent is very strict and gives basic information on sex and threatens teen if they do that before they are out of the house. Teen rebels and does it anyway just like all the other stuff they are forbidden to do. (4) Parents talk with their teen about sex and tells them the consequences of not being careful, but tell their teen that if they choose to have sex, to be safe. Teen makes up their mind to do or not to do. (5) Teen is abused sexually and they think sex=love because that is how the abuser usually tells them. Teen sleeps with many random men to feel loved. Of course there is peer pressure and guy pressures that contribute, but for the most part it is the parents not doing a good enough job at teaching their teens about sex. Even if you are nervous about talking with your teen about sex, do it and be vivid and specific and tell them about peer pressures.
