    Just wondering about the verse that says a man should not lie with another man as he lays with a woman. If this isn't about homosexuality what meaning do you see in this?

    Why should they? They haven't been slaves and they almost definitely(barring an extra long life) haven't known anyone who was. Do you think they should?

    I'm not saying you're wrong but do you have any proof of this. That's a pretty serious accusation. I won't dispute that they don't get paid well but do you have any proof they are actually slaves being paid nothing? Please show me if you have some.

    I think the reason that they aren't portrayed in most war films is that they were not as large a group in the military until the vietnam era. The Tuskegee airmen, an all black air unit were not ever allowed to actually fly in a combat mission. I don't have an answer for the sterotyped behavior but that maybe the reason they aren't as largely portrayed in war films.

    I don't think that it is meant, by anyone, that Hispanics, women, etc. have just arrived at that point of qualification. I think it's more to say that it is a historical moment. People tend to mark events like that, the first non-white supreme court justice, Thurgood Marshall, we tend to mark important events, especially firsts. Many people see these events as a turning point, it opens minds, even the most predjudiced ones, to the idea that we are all equal regardless of color, sex, creed, etc.

    I'm not assuming they are are underqualified for it because of AA or that they are black women. I did not say that. And being on time is a requirement for all jobs, therefore if you cannot be one time the you cannot meet the requirements for the job and are not completely qualified to fill the position as is required, right?

    eggs and bunnies and holly are not religious symbols but symbols that even the non-religious use to signify the holidays. If there was a cross or anything remotely religious you can bet there would a huge mess. Teaching religion also is not necessarily banned from schools, it's teaching that one religion is right and one is wrong. There are religion classes at public schools, they talk about the three "world religions", Christianity, Islam, and Judaism, and some tohers like Hinduism and Buddhism and so on.

    Ok, I never said that you implied or made any comment or anything about most people owning slaves it was a point that very few people did. Andy way, I also never said it was a race thing about the cars I left race completely out, I said people who live in the "ghetto" not black people or white people or any specific race. And yes I know there was alot of oppression in the south, I guess my real point was that they could have moved to the north, where yes there was some oppresion and racism but no where near as much, they could even have moved west. Yes, I stopped short on my explanation, I should have put some more thought into the fear aspect but still you cannot say that all people were scared and that's why they stayed.

    So white people are benefitting from slavery and the crap the founders of the country pulled with with the Indians? How? Explain how that makes any sense that any one is benefitting from any of that. And yes the Indians should get it because it is a legal contract therefore it should be honored no matter how long ago it was set up and possibly denied for many years.

    Ok so the NAAWP was a bad stupid joke. And yes, I forgot to think about the woman side of the issue but what about WASPS? what about them, if anyone is hurt it's them. Yea they had the biggest advantages in the past, but the keyword in that sentence is past, should everyone betreated equally? I dunno maybe we could take race off college and work applications and do everything by social security number that way when they run a background check it shows up with the correct information and history but no race? I dunno just an idea. But still your response didn't address my other point about the further separations that are caused by groups that say they are trying to bring equality to the nation.

    You must have missed the part about them not making it through the probationary period, which I believe is six months. In case you aren't familiar with the term it means the employer, in this case a state, can release the employ within the period without giving cause or notice. And I'm simply assuming that because they are not finishing the probationary period that they are unqualified. I apologize if I came across as a racist or whatever cause I'm not. I know everyone is the same and some people are more qualified than others to do the same job. I never said it was cause she was black or a woman. I'm sorry you think I'm predjudiced because my uncle can't get a job when people who do get it don't make it through the probationary period.

    Most people did not even own slaves. Most families don't have much if any money or propety to pass down. My parents don't own any property or have anything but possessions to pass down, yea my grandparents own a house but they bought in 1979 and I'm not totally sure theyve paid it all off. My question is, why do some of the people who live in the "ghetto" go buy really expensive cars and then complain about where they have to live? I know most don't but many do and it doesn't make any sense. And yes slavery was a denial of rights and abilities but you have to take into account that many slaves did not leave their previous masters. They stayed because they didn't want to go somewhere else. Because they didn't know how to do anything else, but they also didn't want to even try t learn someth

    Congratulations on being one of the most judgemental people on the site. Good job. Just cause she decided to say it wasn't really part of Africa doesn't make her a racist. Maybe she's just and idiot or crazy or maybe you're right and she's a racist or maybe you're a racist or maybe you're just judgemental or maybe both, but I don't see where you get off deciding she's a racist just cause she made a stupid and crazy comment.

    It can, it depends on whether or not the person doing the perceiving is predjudiced, or maybe they just have an internal stereotype of people with those accents because of their past experiences with the people who have certain accents.
