In my (unfortunately) rather racist region, white girls who date black men are seen as nasty, lazy, undesirable girls who went there as a last resort. And black girls who date white men are seen as trying to hide from their race. I don't think either is true, that when a person finds someone they connect with it goes beyond colour of skin and all other outter things. I am welcoming of any race/gender mixed couple in my home and my life. I feel that we should all be so strong as to say 'this is my choice, not yours, so if you don't like it, move on'

It used to be all the rage for white women to use hair pieces to enhace their beauty, big fat pads of it hidden under curls to poof it up, or to shave our heads completely and wear wigs. While not as noticeable as the big fat pads of hair, many white women today still add and subtract from their hair. Like mentioned before, Britney Spears, Christina Aguleria, the olsen twins.

I grew up babysitting a black girl, and when I had to warn her mom about my sisters head lice, she told me not to worry about it. I asked why and she said 'blacks don't get it, because our hair is nautally oily and it suffocates the lice.' I don't know if thats true or a myth, but it is what I have been told and I have never known a black person who got lice.

I believe the names stem from wanting to be original. I was one of 13 Jessicas in my grade one year and in fact another girl had the exact same name as me, first middle and last. It was very confusing when parents were called for confrences and what not. I don't want my child to suffer that, and while my son has to (Michael, he was named for his father) I plan on making sure that my other children have unique names. Besides, not just blacks do it. i've known many unuasualy named white people (its seems mostly in the lowers classes however) girls named Star, Fawn, Aishya, Audrienna, boys named Buck, Shadow, Stormy. Trends run in names. Back in when my grandmother was born, naming you children after gems and flowers was popular. Thats how she got stuck (no pun intended) with Pansy Rose Thornes. Todays trend calls for originality, not normality.

Kike is the common ending syllable in jewish names from slavic countries. Like Venderkike, or Halsenkike. I suppose it became a slur because of its commonality. Someone starts calling evry jew from that region a 'Kike' because to them it seems like all their names end in it. Eventually someone does find it offensive, and now those who get their laughs off racism use it, because they KNOW it offends. Another one: Wop. Often used as a racial slur against Italians or Sicilians. Wop is actually a little used sicilian word for 'handsome, bold, dashing' etc, just about any good attribute for a man. How it became a slur, I don't know. And a third, aimed towards whites. 'cracker' It actually does not derive from our skin colour, as many people believe, but from another definition. Cracker means a poor person of white colour, or it also means a boastful liar, the kind of man that tell tall tales. I can easily see how that became a slur. Some white guy is tellin a story about the beautiful woman he met last night, and someone else says 'He's a cracker' of course the lying man is liable to get offended by it.

Wether or not this is true, I do not know, however I do know that I am a white girl who's family is from ireland and I have the hair of a black girl. Both my parents are white, and their parents are white. Where my hair came from, i don't know. Am I the only one in my family like this? No. Many of my relatives have the hair too.

I believe that no one who was not directly affected deserved reparations. Not in slavery, or war. In history, the English repeatedly massacred the Scots and the Irish, killing, raping, pillaging. Being of both heritages, it is my history. Do I ask for money because it happened? No. Humanity, as a whole and as individuals, make mistakes. Repent, and remember your mistake. Will you be forgiven? Thats not for me to say. Do I want your money? What amount is going to give my family back their life? How is a new car going to make up for what they lost? I'll not be bitter towards those that hurt my people in the past because thats what it is. The past. My only condition is that the truth be told in our history books, every ugly detail. When we hide our mistakes, we only repeat them.

In some cases, they are words, but in others they are just that. Noise. Not unspecific noise, but people who do yoga, use the sound 'Ohm' as a way to reach that point of inner spirituality, so do the native americans use the drums and the chants to reach their inner spirituality. But in many cases, it is a prayer that is being said. Just a bit of trivia for you: The word/phrase 'huh?' is Cherokee. It means 'What did you say??'

France isn't a third world country either, and most hispanics that move here are from third world contries. They rarely have the time to learn english, nor the proper conditions, let alone the supplies. America started as a place of many nations, each nation with its own language, or even several languages. It was a place for the down trodden to come for a better life, and to many of these hispanics it still is. They will learn a time goes, and you'll find that many are trying very hard to fit in with their new country by doing so. Customer service lines speaking both languages just help them feel welcomed as they should be. And remember, in the first Continental congress, the decision on our national language was made. English won over German, but only by one vote.
