    I don't perceive God as a human at all, more like a force of nature. I don't think of God as having any physical features, but if He appeared in a vision or something, it would probably be in a form that the person having the vision would be most comfortable with.

    Is She has black genes in her then that chances are very good that you will have a dark skinned child regardless of how you to look. Dark skinned genes are dominant and lighter skin is recessive so if those genes from her african american side are passed down to your child then the child will have dark skin. However since you aren't black and she is not entirely black those genes may not be passed on to the child at all, in which case the child will be lighter skinned.

    It sounds to me like you're bisexual and are curious about the your lesbian side because you are just now discovering it. Why not try to look for a good person to replace the one who left you, instead of thinking that it must be a man or woman? It seems to me that you are able to connect emotionally and physically with either gender, so why limit yourself?

    in reply to: Weirdly modified import cars #25202

    Sherman
    Participant
    Those small modified import cars are actually as fast as they look. Once the engine is modified, they can outperform many of those muscle cars out there. The thing is, it's harder and takes more time and is more fun, and more challenging to modify these cars than to buy one that's already fast. As far as the so-called fake badges are concerned, those are mostly sponsors who will give you free or discounted parts for letting them display their logo on your car. Sometimes people who own custom shops will also put their logo on their own car to advertise their shop.

    That is without a doubt the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard, and what makes you or a known former Klansmen like David Duke qualified to comment on the way blacks feel pleasure? The theory that Africans had plenty of food and sex is false, and doesn't take into account the many famines during which blacks had to ration, just like Europeans did. As far as struggling to survive, there is no harsher climate than in Africa. Africans were civilized long before Europeans were, so how can you say it's blacks who want a return to a barbaric lifestyle? If you want to learn about black people, why wouldn't you suggest they read a book written by someone who was black and might know what he was talking about, instead of someone who clearly hates black people and is a racist?

    in reply to: The Ten Commandments and other rules #23597

    Actually to most christians who believe in jesus christ, the ten commandments no longer apply, Jesus fulfilled the law and replaced it with the 'Golden Rule' Love god above all else and love your neihbor as yourself. Christians still use the ten commandments for guidance because it has good principles but don't follow it to the letter, however the Ten Commandments are the most important rules in the Old testament because the were supposedly the only commandments written directly by the hand of god.

    The bible was only concerned with the two male children of Adam and Eve, and how the story of Cain's rebellion was relevent to the bible, but the bible doesn't say that they only had two children in fact it says that they had many children.

    in reply to: Racist Southern people #27490

    Sherman
    Participant
    I don't think people are necessarily more racist in the South, I just think that white people in the South are more comfortable expressing their racist views. There are people here in California who won't use the N-word around black people because they are afraid they might be heard - and outnumbered. In the South, chances are there will be many more whites around than people of other races, so they feel comfortable about saying what they really feel.

    Im a black man that has dated both white and black women and I don't have any preference, yet simply because I have date a white woman I am constantly labeled by every one of my black female friends as 'being into white girls' even though the majority of the women that i've dated have been black. Maybe there are some black men who are looking for that stereotypical white girl but thats not always the case, sometimes it's because thats the person that you connect with.

    in reply to: Halle Berry: ‘Best Mulatto Actress?’ #22351

    It's easy to say 'get over it' when you don't have to deal with all of the negativety that comes with being a person of color. Does anyone know how many roles Halle Berry may have been refused because she wasn't white? No, you don't. If she wants to consider it a triumph for black women, who is anyone to say differently? Race seems to matter when I 'fit the description' of a criminal or I'm stopped in my car for 'driving while black' or can't get a cab, but it's a crime when we don't acknowledge all of humanity when accepting awards. I wonder how many times Jesse Owens was called the N-word before he won the Olympics. After that he was a great American. Things like that just make me laugh.

    in reply to: New stereotypes about African Americans #18050

    Sherman
    Participant
    I don't see how two movies that have African Americans as superior officers constitutes a stereotype, and Denzel Washington was certainly not the typical wise authority figure in that movie; he had his own agenda. In the last few years, African Americans have had many more roles than usual and have finally been able to play more versatile roles than just comedians and sidekicks. As far as how we are supposed to look and act, I think all Americans are supposed to try to dress well and speak eloquently and have confidence, regardless of what anyone else thinks. Why should that be considered a black or white thing?

    in reply to: Innocent civilians – apparent double-standard? #18665

    Sherman

    It's not that we don't care about innocent civilians, we simply understand that it's an unavoidable fact of war that innocents do get hurt and killed. The difference is that we don't go out of our way to kill them. The Taliban attacked civilians in our embassy, and targeted our civilians at the world trade center simply because we are american, and because they think that we are to weak and cowardly to strick back. The only way to deal with people like that is with a strong hand. It is a shame that innocent people have and will continue to get hurt in this war, however we did give the Taliban a way out of the situation many times before we actually went in with our military and if Ben Laden was so concerned with the afgani people he could have simplt turned himself in and avoided all of this.

    The statement that 'we see no problem with killing innocent civilians' simply isn't true. none of us want war, but we know that in a war innocents do get killed, Our enemies attacked civilians at our embassy in africa and we did not respond because we did not want war, when they attacked the USS COLE we did not respond because we wanted peace, however when they attacked over 5000 civilians and declared war on us, then we saw no other choice but to respond in kind. If america had the same mentality as the terrorists and did not care about innocents as you suggest then we would have simply launched a few nukes and destroyed their entire country and everyone in it in a matter of days. I haven't agreed with this countries policies in many instances, but this is one of those times when we simply had no other choice but to punish those who are responsible for launching blatant attacks on innocent people.

    I'm sorry something as terrible as that happened to you and there is no excuse for it. And yes rape is more about power than about sexual pleasure but remember that men of all races commit rape, black women have been raped in white niehborhoods also, and it isn't just about race because men rape women of the same race too. The men who did this to you were just a bunch of animals who used race as an excuse to do something horrible for no good reason at all, and all I can do is hope that you don't think we are all like that.
