    I’m black and have been smacked in the face too many times to count by people swinging their hair. Not just whites. I think hair should be kept in place, especially if it hinders anyone else. Also, I dont think anyone has to envy hair (If they do they’re stupid!) Thirdly I hardly think that a fast food restaurant is any place for anyone to be playing with their hair.

    Who cares? I’ll tell you who: People with deep-seated racial problems. Instead of just seeing a couple, they see a black and white couple. As a black woman, if I see an Asian and white couple, I don’t get upset, but sometimes people have resentment and feel that any type of consortment with the ‘enemy’ is disrespectful to them and their race. Imagine living in the South after the Civil War and seeing a Yankee girl and a Confederate man together. Even 3-5 yrs after the war, people would not like it. So in a day when racism still exists, to some people, interracial dating feels like treason.

    For the same reason we all like chicken and watermelon: because you said so! If I said all whites stink, does it make it true? No. So just because Omarosa couldn’t swim on Fear Factor doesn’t mean Shannon can’t swim. In other words, it’s an urban myth or prejudiced thought. Also, when you don’t have resources, you won’t learn things. If I don’t have an iron and have never been around one my whole life, will I know how to iron? No. So if you don’t live by a pool and you know that you can drown in water if you can’t swim, then what will be your reaction to large bodies of water? That’s right, fear. And that’s for all races.

    in reply to: Islam and Purdah: why do it? #39271

    Not all Muslims have the same rules and guidelines. Have you seen Muslims in America? Some sell bean pies and some women wear their headpieces only when they want to. In some parts of the world, extremists have gone a little out of control, but that doesn’t make us any better for making up excuses (also known as lies) to invade lands. Those women also have choices and can choose to live in ‘imprisonment’ – if not, then they can leave. Most choose to stay. If that was how you were raised, then you wouldnt think that any other way was any better unless someone told you.

    People do things according to religion. Why was the Pope buried four days after his death? Religious statutes – not because he was Polish! Skin color has nothing to do with the rate of one’s burial. And not all blacks depend on monies received from insurace policies. Besides, you can fax a death certificate and get a check the next day.

    So would you allow you hypothetical 13 year old date a 26 yr old man? (I just picked 2 numbers since numbers dont really matter…) What will he truly have in common with her? Ex. Her kiddie toys are now his collectables?
