    We will see. America is still less than 5% "mixed race" whereas Brazil is probably more than half. There are downsides to being a first generation mulatto. Medicine has not kept apace with society's propensity to race-mix. For example, try finding a bone marrow donor if you are like Obama.

    Well, that 5% isn't very accurate. Hispanics make up 16% of the population, and the majority of them are also mixed race. Also, black/white intermixture isn't the only form of mixed race. You have Asian/White, Black/Asian, and everything in between.

    Another interesting trend is the use of mixed race people in a variety of roles. Vin Diesel (mulatto) has played white men in film, Wentworth Miller (mulatto) has played white men. Keanu Reeves and Dean Cain (Eurasian) have played white men in a number of films. Vanessa Williams and Zoe Kravitz have played Hispanic women. Rashida Jones Paula Patton and Zoe Saldana have played black women, white women, and Hispanic women, and on and one and on. This is why mixed race people are preferred in advertising, because they can appeal to a wide demographic of people.

    Which leads us back to the point; When people can't figure out the race, those crazy prejudices don't matter anymore. Even further, its hard to hate a black person if your child is part black, or you're married to a half black woman. That's where we're heading to in terms of race relations, and that's a very good thing.

    I would provide a link if you'd be happy to register at the forum to see the threads and comments.

    I have visisted the Race Relations forum here many times. It doesn't matter to me how much crime there may be in black communities. That is no reason to hate an entire group of people on the basis of skin color.

    Your comments do nothing to answer my question, and I could spend a few minutes on YouTube and find a dozen videos of white people mugging and attacking black people. Yet I don't hate white people.

    I know that no one is born racist. Its just concerning that there is still so much racism in the word today. Parents are still raising their children to hate people who have a different skin color. I would have thought we would have moved past that!

    Yeah, you'd probably feel a lot differently if you lived in a black majority neighborhood and been held up at gunpoint, had family members robbed in the street and had to endure hearing gunshots each and every night. The type of animalistic behavior you witness in the average black majority neighborhood would turn most peoples hair pink. Of course not every black "person" is responsible for it, but the ones that aren't call you a racist if you try to highlight the problem of high black crime rates.

    Your failure to understand why a lot of people are sick to death of black "people" is baffling to say the least. You might disagree with racism personally, but even the most dim-witted anti-racist would understand that if you witness disgusting behavior from the majority of a certain race for long enough you're going to eventually start to become frustrated.

    Type "thug attacks elderly" into Youtube's search engine (which is exactly what I did to find those videos) and you'll find hundreds of videos of brutal physical assaults from blacks and probably less than ten from all other races COMBINED.

    It's always about majorities. Blacks bring racism on themselves.

    Two questions: Why is the word 'people' written in such a way as to imply that blacks are not actually people at all?
    And, two, do you know the majority of black people? I assume you do, as you have experienced this alleged violence from them all. That's a lot of black people...

    I don't think blacks earn the right to be called people. I use the quotation marks for anti-racists' benefits as they consider them people. They behave more like animals to me.

    I've met thousands of black "people" on both sides of the Atlantic in my time. I've 30 years experience living in black majority neighborhoods. I've known more blacks than all other races combined... including my own. I feel pretty qualified to speak about these issues.

    I can I say that I don't think that bigots have earned the right to be called 'people'.
    Like it or not, black people are people. The only difference between them and us is that we have white skin.

    somewhere between the ages of three and five, children develop an awareness of different physical characteristics such as those associated with race (gender differences are identified first), however they do not have negative associations with these, UNLESS these have been taught to them.


    whatever.

    in high school my daughters friends included people from a range of diverse groups including Africans (Liberians, Congolese and Sudanese) Asian (Japanese, Korean, Indian, Afghan) and people who were of "european" descent.

    they tended not to include other white kids who did not share the same interests, and there were some subgroups that also did not mix as much.

    I think the boys tended to be more segregated than the girls, and from what she told me there were clashes between some groups of boys who belonged to the same "racial" groups. but then, when I was a kid there were conflicts between surfies and bogans .... had we had Italians or Greeks at our school back then I am sure they could have had fights with them, but they were a lot more segregated than kids of very different cultures are today.

    I guess that when race isn't the issue, kids make up their own "tribal" boundaries.

    So this is what is happening to you.

    How many black neighborhoods have you actually been in.

    Actually most black folks will just call you an idiot if you are just running off at the mouth.

    Actually when folks see a racist spewing racist babble they sometimes fail to speak out against that fool.

    This post is nothing more than ignorant, racist babble at best.

    And crime rates. Granted the one candidate for President who wants to equalize the drug laws is called a Racist. Funny how that works.

    And i find it strange that on a site that doesnt promote racism a MOD posts a race baiting thread. Shame on you.

    Without reading any responses, I can answer this for you.

    Some people are just born to hate. Black, White, Jew, Asian, it doesn't really matter.

    A lot of people simply relate to their social group regardless of rationality.

    Aside from those predisposed (raised by family to hate), and those with a simple identity complex, there are those people that would not be otherwise racists. These people are driven by the media. By no means are the media driving racism, it's that the blacks predominately make the news. This is coming from an American prospective of course. Old ladies, toddlers, handicap, and the likes are literally assaulted on a daily basis in the surrounding areas where I reside. Accusing a minority of discrimination is near employment suicide. Minorities are given favourability in favor of creating equality as opposed to equalness. It's not the media failing to report white atrocities either. These are the statistics.

    To put it in a nutshell, it's the racist blacks and the predominately derelict ones that keep the good blacks from a good name.

    Civil society doesn't tolerate any deviancy from accepting people from other than their qualifications. Let's face it though. The world is working class people. Not everyone has a BMW to lose for being a racist.

    So does that mean that racist whites keep the good whites from a good name.

    It depends on the exposure of minorities to whites.

    *something went awry with my same response.

    Just because one doesn't support those liberal racist policies... does not make them racist.

    I do not support those policies because they are racist policies... I am not a racist.
