- I can only speak from my experience, but it seems to me that most black Americans really don't care. If you're surrounded by people who are going to pick on you or harrass you because of your dress, please understand that these people are very immature. You're young now, so you probably will get a lot of that. But as you get older, it should cease. Also understand that if the people who say or do things to you don't accept you now, they probably wouldn't accept you regardless of what you wear or how you talk. It's not your problem. Be yourself. If people don't like it, too bad. There are people who will accept you on terms other than your clothing.

But, be aware that this is just an approximation as every woman has her own unique body.User Detail :

If you come to Miami, for example, you as a Latino will be in for a culture shock. There are Cubans, Mexicans, Dominicans, Italians, Spaniards, South Americans, Puerto Ricans, everything. And I'm sure these types of major cultural mixes exist in a hundred other places that I've never heard of.User Detail :

We have a hard time accepting it. So we do everything to make it as we want it until we are comfortable.User Detail :

Its really just a food. Maybe it has something to do with our culture that I don't know about, but from my understanding, its not that big of a deal. Not big enough to use as a part of black history month clebration. My point is, the whole fried chicken and watermelon thing was based off of a negative steroe type. That could be why people got offended.User Detail :

The Bible may not be clear on this issue because it is unimportant. God doesn't care what color or race we are. Humans are the only living thing on the face of this earth that care about that kind of nonsense. And as is so many other parts of the Bible, God did not explain or make clear, because we were not supposed to know. Why are we not supposed to know, I dont know. But who am I to question God? Then again maybe it is explained in the bible, and it just maybe unclear to you. Get with a Pastor, or someone you can trust, that knows the Bible to help you in studying the word.User Detail :

Black people have, who knows how many, different skin tones. So white people have different hair color. Its just another difference that we have. So what?User Detail :

Cain and Able were just the first two. Again I am not not the one to educate you on the exacts but i do know that if you read the bible (King James or an New International Version), then you will have your answer. It is found in Genesis chapter 4 and the entire lineage continues through to the end of chapter 5. Genesis is found in the begining of the Bible, hense the name.User Detail :

God created him with no sense of right or wrong. Before he ate of the fruit there was no sin, so how could he be intentionally disobedient? God gave adam two trees. One he could eat of, and the other he couldn't. God gave adam free will to choose. He choose the Tree of knowledge of good and evil. Satan did not make eve eat of the tree. He stood there and tried to persua her to do it. She chose to do it on her own and thought it was of good nature(Genesis 3:6) God did not create us as robots. He allowed us, and does allows us, to make our own choices. The story is found in Genenis chapter 2-3, just in case anyone was wondering.User Detail :

Its not common to see tall Asians. And if you look closely, white people's eye lids go all the way back when their eyes are open. Black people's eye lids dont go nearly as far back. Just watch tv one day and take notice. Its true! Fascinating but true! Native americans generally have higher or more noticeable cheek bones than alot of other races. They're just differences. And I think they are wonderful.User Detail :

I find most of it offensive and some quite boring and tiring. But I never find it racist. The difference between the Miss Black America or Miss Latin American pageants and a White American Pageant is that whites don't have to fight for recognition as a group or culture. So why would they start doing it? Pro - 'anything' can become racist when you start putting down other races and exalting yours above others. There is nothing wrong with celebrating your heritage. Celebration happens for remembrance. There is nothing to remember in 'White America' because it's always there. We are always being reminded. How can anybody forget? And most minority groups celebrate just because of that: they are in the minority, endangered of easily being forgotten.User Detail :

Yes. All God requires of us, in order to enter his kingdom, is to truly believe and repent of our sins. If the criminal on his deathbed truly does want God's forgiveness and for the Lord to come into his heart, then as God promises, it shall be so. But he has to be sincere in his doing. And we are not to judge if he really meant it or not. Only God knows what is really in our hearts. Even if we don't. And if the good Samaritan never found it in his heart to repent and believe and accept the Lord and Savior, then he will have to suffer. The Lord does not care about the worldly works we do. He doesn't even care about the bad we do. Granted, he doesn't want us to do bad things, but what really matters the most is what we do with our hearts, and what we do for God.User Detail :
