    You think you’ve got it bad? Try actually BEING Black! But I digress. You have the unfortunate experience of being ‘surrounded by idiots’. What you should REALLY do is consider moving. However, if that’s not possible (at least I’m guessing it isn’t) then the best I can recommend is for you to keep your head up, be yourself, be proud of yourself, and if anybody misjudges because they think you’re black (or any other color) then to hell with them. Stay strong!

    I’m gonna put this to rest once and for all… Bad male drivers are just as bad (if not worse than ) bad female drivers. Just for different reasons. Bad female drivers (not ALL women mind you) are bad drivers because they are CARELESS. In other words, NOT PAYING ATTENTION!! These are the women (often under the age of 25) who think nothing more of driving well over the speed limit (sometimes the law IS right!) talking non-stop on the cellphone in hectic traffic, or cutting off people at turn intersections, despite the rules of Right-Of-Way. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve almost been run off the road (or the SIDEWALK, no joke!) by some young lady in a sportscar (usually RED! coincidence?) only to have her give ME a dirty look, as if me being in the parking lot was such a burden. One even flipped me the bird after she almost creamed me by running a Red Light. (SIDE NOTE: It is documented FACT that women are more likely to flip the bird in traffic. But I digress…) Anyway, bad MALE drivers are that way not because they are CARELESS but rather RECKLESS! These are usually the same morons (ALSO under the age of 25) that think nothing more about doing ‘donuts’ in the parking lot at Food Lion, just to show off, ignoring traffic signs (BTW: Stop signs are NOT optional), or simply missing their Exits because they were too busy playing with the Equalizers on their new Car Stereo, and then trying to catch the turn by cutting off TWO lanes of traffic! Anyway, to make a LONG rant a short one, women are (incorrectly) regarded as worse drivers because the accidents created by BAD women drivers, due to them being CARELESS, are perceived as bouts of idiocy, whereas the accidents caused by BAD male drivers, due to them being RECKLESS, are linked to ‘that guy being a maniac’. Its a matter of improper perception. I hope I cleared that up. If I confused (or bored) anybody, I apologize.

    Yes there are quite a few nicknames for dark-skinned Black people, most of them made up by bigoted Whites, and pretty much NONE of them should be considered for casual usage. I’d tell you what they are but then you and the rest of my White friends would be tempted to ‘try them out’!

    In case you haven’t noticed ( and it seems you haven’t) not all black females hold their babies like this. The ones you’ve seen doing this are usually the single, often very young, untrained ‘baby’s mommas’ who are either too ignorant of proper child care or too stuborn to learn. By the way, I’ve seen this done by single mothers, who include, but are not limited to, black AND white single mothers.

    Tryimg to be level-headed about this, I can honestly say that I don’t THINK that Bush is a blatant racist. That being said, I DO, however, think that Bush doesn’t care about those who didn’t vote for him, and probably wouldn’t vote for him (not that it matters NOW). At the very least, I would chalk it up to a LOT of buck-passing and finger-pointing.

    Excuse me but…what the HELL does tipping have to do with Chinese food? I Love Chinese food but I Usually order take out (on the go constantly) but they may have a TIP jar. If they give me good service, I Put a dollar or two in the jar. If not, jar stays empty and I make it a point not to eat there again

    Black people who are this closed-minded usually have no real sense of musical history. Otherwise they’d realize that 1) Most rock and rollers were influenced by black legends of the past and 2) Rock and roll was actually started by black musicians (sorry Elvis, but you were not the first). And let’s face it, most Metal players owe their careers to Jimi Hendrix! Bottom line, don’t let anybody tell you what music to listen to.

    Um, have you actually watched those movies? Bringing Down The House wasn’t exactly Queen Latifah’s most flattering role, and in Hitch, Will Smith had trouble following his own dating advice (he plays a relationship advisor giving advice to clueless men) and in White Men Can’t Jump, the white guy (Woody Harrelson) was actually a better ball player than the black guy (Wesley Snipes). I don’t believe white people are being singled out as much as you think.

    I’m assuming that you wouldn’t give change to ANYBODY for a twenty. If that’s the case, then that guy was a moron!
