Life in the shoes of a non-black?
1. life is just that life sometimes i do what i want to others i do what i have to


2. i tend to perceive people on a more singular basis rather then a group


3. my thought is that it's a waste of time really to be racist you have to hate and to hate you've already wasted more time on a person or group of people then they have on you.sad to say yes. yes anything is possible but remember a lot of these folks were raised this way so it'll be hard to dig out. as for my being racist talk with me awhile I'll let you decide


4. well you do have rhythm


5. as for this one I'll digress i simply don't know enough to lay out any ideas right now
Reply:I don't believe in racism and i look at African Americans as just other person.
Reply:1. I am from a city, about half of it is the ghetto, being non black, can some times be a Lil scary where I am from because I feel that I am targeted occasionally, recently car jacked. I dint feel that I get any extra advantages that I dint work for, because at my jobs they use affirmative action which is strictly enforced.





2. Black people are fine by me, I mean their are a few that are bad, which there is in every race. I go to school with many that work hard, that are trying to make something of them selves and get out of the situations they are currently in. Then again I notice more black people selling drugs then I do in school. The majority of them in this area live in poverty, but they choose to continue that life by not attending school and the ones that are in school I routinely see becoming successfully.





3. Racism is always going to exist, not every one can have the world be their own little perfect place, so their is always going to be disagreements. Also one representative from a race can leave a negative impression on many people by his or her actions. I do not believe I have racist views.





4. The way they dress, the music, but its basically part of the culture and life style. not all of them work to their potential in a positive manner.





5.I did not read the article
Reply:too many Q's...i'll just say this...I wish the day comes when we all get down with the nasty for generations...maybe then we can all be one race again.But,no matter...even if my wish came true we'd find something else to hate eachother about.Humans are the most intelligent creatures on the planet and because of that we are also the most ignorant...look at your first response...that oughta tell you.Anyways, from 1 human 2 another i love you........
Reply:1. Easy. But then, I haven't been out on my own yet.


2. You know, I have always lived in a community were racism is a completely foriegn concept. We're all people.


3. I personally don't have racists views. I didn't even know that racism existed until about 5th grade when we were studying black history month. I am aware that it still exists, and am forseeing at least another century before it is gone completely.


4. Athletic!


5. I don't believe I read that article... I'll have to check it out.
Reply:Well racism today is a bit different than it was before, now it is used for jokes and just messing around with friend.
Reply:I'm racist,i think everyone's racist.
Reply:1) Please do not rub in the fact that I was not born with dark skin. My life is horrible. Every waking moment I think of how my life could have been had I been born a dark - skinned human.


2) They are all that I want to be. When I stare into the alleyways of the city and see the creative black people making a fireplace out of a trash can , or a home out of a cardboard box, I shake my head and say, "Man, that could have been me"... as I sulk back to my home in the suburbs.


3) I have wikipedia'd this term "racism" and I got a 404. Therefore, I have concluded that it does not exist. It is gone. No.


4) Black people fly like the wind. You barely know that they are around. They slip in and out of your pockets like the wind. They can create a rowboat from a roof and stay afloat for days. They are not affected by hurricanes.


5) I truly believe that I should have been born black. Everything would have been different. There is no turning back. There is only turning forward.
