Reply to Can you Racial Profile your own Race? in Politics JoeUser Forums

I didn't make that up. For the ones who think that race is not a social construct, then you must live on another planet, because it's been said for years now. There is no genetic difference. (Oh, wow, what a surprise! I am shocked!) By the way, I’m confused by what you said. A superiority complex doesn't mean that people have any basis for it; they just believe whatever because their grandpas told them that they were superior and they went along

One of the weirdest things in the universe is a black republican or a gay republican, not that the mayor is. Social programs could have worked, but they were purposefully screwed; people could have been trained and not just fed and given a check. Some countries have a bad habit of trying to throw money to solve a problem. I don't like when people talk of so called ‘hand me downs’ as though centuries of slavery didn't build this country. Secondly, t

A grandmother born here and never having met any M.E. person might be angry enough at the present system. We cannot judge anyone. We shouldn’t be there. Some of those soldiers are killing and raping. Why do people think that it is alright? War is wrong and it’s for oil and they’re trying to eliminate anyone who is different. Don’t you see that? One day, there might be only one country. Be careful what you believe in and everything is a conspira

Well, even if you're not prejudice, the people that you're writing to on J.U. take that crap seriously and they thrive on it. Don't you see that?Well, even if you're not prejudice, the people that you're writing to on J.U. take that crap seriously and they thrive on it. Don't you see that?

First of all, race is a SOCIAL construct, but it is reified by people for political, economic, etc. reasons. Yes, there is such a thing as internal racism. I am a black woman and I believe that the grandmother should be stopped as well. My Professor said something very clever and that is that when you’re looking for bad people in the airports or wherever, you have to also look at the grandmother in the wheelchair. Elderly people can

War is wrong!!! Yes it is his fault. He thinks he is king, but he is just a dictator. They hate the arrogance. I'm not defending them because what they did was wrong, but the ethnocentrism is what makes people mad. He started the war and you blame another party. I thought that you were a liberal and I had no idea that you were a fan of you know who. "And we will wake up facing mecca and bowing to Allah, and people will still be wondering "how did

Reply to American Idol 5: Top Twelve Contestants on the Big Stage. in Entertainment JoeUser Forums

I think that Taylor should win it all. Of course he doesn't have the greatest voice, but he has so much charisma to make up for it. I love his gray hair. I love his dance moves. I think that he is very humble, down to earth and that the money would not change him. I don't think that his winning should not be controversial because he deserves it as much as anyone else, and if America votes him in, then I'll be trilled and more trilled than I've bee

You have different beliefs than I, but I think that you mean well. I don't think that we are pessimistic because we want to hold on to our "petty beliefs." I think that we are realistic. If Iraq becomes this democratic country that you speak of, it would be the best experiment ever performed. I wish the Iraqi people well, not to mention the soldiers. My argument is against

Reply to Whither Africa? in Politics PolMach Forums

“What is the basis for this statement? I'd like to see it verified. Africa is a backward swamp of disease, civil war and barbarism. There haven't been any colonial influences in Africa for years. Things were much better for them, all told, then. Were the tribes butchering each other over centuries-old, mostly-forgotten squabbles? No. Were the different religions killing each other over how to worship? No. Was there Communism and Marxism,

To Rightwinger: I think that killing for any purpose is wrong. How can I shoot someone and stop his/her heart. I think that human beings are really cruel to invent and use guns. I would never choose to be in the army. Though I said that I hoped for the safe return of the soldiers, but I only said that because I care for human life, not because I like their choice of career. On the other hand, they don't know better. From the time a pers

I have been dying to reply to this, except that I didn't know how to post a reply, since I'm not familiar with this website. Anyway, since you seem to be puzzled about why we should help Africa, I will make a list. Please, don't be insulted, since I'm not here to hurt anyone's feelings. First, I am currently taking a political science course and I've learned that what affects a part of the world affects us all. AIDS may not seem like a big thi

What if things do not get better? I feel bad for the soldiers in Iraq, and I owe them a lot of gratitude. However, I am very upset that human life is being sacrificed in a country that could have handled it's own affairs. Why should it be our concern?

Hi, I was searching J.U., looking for an interesting article, when I found yours. I hope that you've been feeling better since. It's really hard to be alone. Yes, I think you're right when you say that keeping a journal helped you explain your feelings to him, I've done the same thing. Maybe, you can still write if people will read.

I understand what it feels like to want to give up. I can only imagine what you're going through. I, personally, see a social worker. It's only today that I started reading your articles, and they are quite interesting. I am trying to read all of them, because they're that good. Many of them are heart-felt, but still good. Take care.
