Who else thinks its hilarious that the miami hurricanes suck this year?

canes fans.... this is what happens when you recruit a bunch of wanna be thugs who care more about getting gold teeth and dvd players in their cars than actually putting forth effort on the football field! ha-ha-ha!!!

Who else thinks its hilarious that the miami hurricanes suck this year?
Wow ur happy that Miami is doing terrible this 1 year. Da way the acc is looking Miami can still make it to their championship game and get a major bowl bid. Remember FSU last year? 8-4
Reply:It is so great to see a loser team like UM Canes be unranked. So they pick on FIU. The same Canes fans who whined about their 2002 loss to the mighty Buckeyes now defend the foot-brawl game as giving some sort of inspiration to this bottom-of-the barrel team. There is justice!! Report It

Reply:yeah miami blows...my friend michael says all the time how miami blows too. i think the hurricanes are taking a u-turn. with a great coach such as larry coker, i expected more. however, they are thugs and deserve to lose so its all good Report It

Why do cops racial profile young black males?

what i mean if a young black males has big rims on his nice car and a few gold teeth, why do they mess with them with no cause? We were at the barbershop and police pulled up at the parking lot and tried to write a ticket and a woman was running from a man he decided to mess with us, saying we were parked on an unapproved surface. there was not enough parking so we parked on the side where their were gravel and rock likes a country road. this is just one incident, tell me bout yours.

Why do cops racial profile young black males?
If it looks like, sounds like and acts like a duck its a duck. That's the basis of racial profiling. Problem is that the profile does tend to work in finding people who are criminals
Reply:they profile girls too
Reply:Sorry homie, I'm a white female so I don't deal with that crap. That sucks. Why can't us blacks and whites all get along... Let's look at where the real problem is.... with all those "towel heads" coming in to our country from the Middle East.





We have to stick together
Reply:Listen, I'm not saying it's a good thing, or that the cops' behavior was justified in your case. But in general, police officers (and not just white ones) pay special attention to young black males because young black males commit far more violent crimes than any other group. This isn't racism; it's a statistical fact. Asking police officers to ignore it is like asking them to ignore their own instincts – which could put both them and innocent civilians at risk.
Reply:there you go again. your imagination. cry cry cry.
Reply:they go by past history.





Historically, police have had the most trouble with black males than any other people. So they tend to lean on them more than anyone else and try to nip the problem before it even starts. The thing is, some cops get a bit power hungry and overstep their authority.
Reply:well gold teeth? come on. y would anyone want gold teether? god that is just retarded....who knows y cops do that kinda thing (have u seen Crash? omg! the best movie ever!!! but yea, its about racism and stuff)... if i were, i'd just get over it and deal with it
Reply:I think the reason cops do this is because they think if they see a young black man with a nice car he must be selling drugs and because of the way he dress they think there is no way a black male that dresses the way our black men dress and that has gold teeth they figure no one would ever hire them. I think it is so messed up and i know thats how it is and its not right but that is just what they do and I know because i use to work for the police department. Sometimes they are right though but its still not right to racial profile but it's not right to sell drugs and kill peolpe but what? We still do thats just the way of the world.
Reply:The question you should be asking is why do all these young black men have to have big rims on their car and gold teeth. If you're trying to act like a gangster or a rapper then you'll get treated like one. Do you think Martin Luther King Jr. would be proud of the young black men of today or the rappers, or ganster wannabes. Do you think he'd be proud of the way they're acting. Do you think he'd be proud of them wanting to be "Pimps" and "Playa's," about the way they treat women.





If you wanted to be treated with respect, act and look respectable. If you want to blame anyone for the way your treated because you look, blame your role models. The rap artist who act like they're above the law and commit crimes for fun.





You have no one to blame but yourself.
Reply:Well, Police can actually see their profile like you say:





No Job, not even work experience





consuming gas up and down without any money,





Gold teeth and mommy lives in a apartment





Reebok's and expensive clothing, "Where does he gets the Money"





Cellular phone and gold jewelry,





Nice car with expensive equipment, CD/DVD player, Television inside, hot rims. WOW... Where does this boy gets the money?





Come on, you should know the answer too, even if you have a job, how much could a teen get paid for so much expensive stuff.





No just on black they do that, they do it on White, Hispanic, and other countries too, when they see a profile like the one above.


Everyone should know why cops have the eye on you.
Reply:Because 60% of the times there really is something wrong with that person. In Holland we have a similar new law that allows cops to stop young kids in big cars just because they look like they haven't worked to earn that car. And it works!





The dutch people love seeing those guys in jail and it also is a message that crime does not pay.





If you are innocent and you can proof you bought the car with your hard earned euro's there is no problem.
Reply:because the majority of crimes are committed by your demographic. Most "suspects" fit your description so you'll get pulled over.





Hopefully you'll get a rash of Vietnamese gang activity and you'll be off the hook for a while...





...good luck.
Reply:I am white but I have a friend that complains about the same thing, and I will give you some of my insite on this situation.





Black people only make up 12% of the population yet they (mostly young black males) are responsible for the majority of drug and violent crimes, followed by Hispanics then white people. The majority of the young black males that create crime are into hard rap and hiphop lifestyle with particular clothing and the cars with the big rims. Now you may not be into anything illegal but to quote Chris Rock "You are wearing the same uniform as the ones that are." So that is why the cops keep a closer watch or harass you, but the majority of the blame should not be on the cops, it should be on your fellow young black brother who is creating the stereotype of illegal activity.
Reply:That doesn't sound like racial profiling to me. That sounds like the cop was a jerk and decided to make your day as miserable as his.
Reply:The opinion of Tony Pepperoni is the stuff.
Reply:umm.... i don't think its just black people. they even do it to whites... :O


*Gasp*


you know, its amazing how judgemental people can be... of any race. Cops ar bored so they try to ticket you, every day part of life. also, why do the people have gold teeth? probably because they got in a fight and got some teeth knocked out. Also, the appearence you described sounds like a 'gangsta' stereotype', aren't gangstas the ones who cause the most fuss in neighborhoods?? If you like dressing like the way you do, then you are going to have to deal with the stereotype people assign to you. If you don't like that stereotype than change your appearance.








glad to give my opinion!! :D
Reply:it's the statistics:





Among men, blacks (28.5%) are about six times more likely than whites (4.4%) to be admitted to prison during their life.





7.9% of black males compared to 0.7% of white males will enter State or Federal prison by the time they are age 20.

Did Martin Luther King come up with the idea of reparations? is that true?

I just read on a forum that Martin Luther King came up with the idea of reparations. I personally am against this because it is only going to make hummer and gmc rich, and some people will go and get material things like gold teeth and other things that will not advance themselves... no one is going to invest in some quality education for themselves and their children to better themselves.





But did MLK really start this idea? is this true, im kinda shocked by this statement. why would he want something like that?

Did Martin Luther King come up with the idea of reparations? is that true?
Please... Stop watching Dave Chappelle; it's garbage. Not all black people like hummers and grills. And plenty of us would invest in education... you know what they say about assuming. Personally I don't like the idea of reparations, people should not grow up with the mentality someone ows them something. And No, MLK did not make up reparations. The first to mention them I think were the jewish people who survived the Holocaust.


------------edit-----------------


Just because I've seen a few episodes of Dave Chappelle I automatically have a bad education? For your information, I graduated high school with honors, and I currently have a 4.0 GPA in college. And if you didn't want me to mention the Jewish reparations you should have mentioned that you already knew about it in your question, next time be more specific. And not once in my answer I called you a racist.
Reply:Your question is laced with self ignorance and racism....there are more white people in the world so it stands to reason that there are more uneducated white people, they just slide in under the radar with nepotism.....and in response to the rest of your question your racist rant is showing........
Reply:Think about your question carefully, the majority of African Americans would use the income to further there education, also where would other races be if they were spiritually and academically held back for hundreds of years no way of knowing where your parents are or if your child you love so dear would be taken from you. Add all of the mental abuse and battery that the slaves have received and you can see why there descends are asking for reparations. What they do with the money is there decision

Why is it that White Americans Are so obsessed with what African Americans are doing all the time?

I mean it pisses me off to see countless whites asking why we (African American's) wear our clothes this way, why we talk that way, why is our name spelled this way. Or what about this "How do African American's think they're going to get respected with gold teeth, sagging pants and fouls mouths?" Leave us alone and engross your selves in your own culture or lack thereof...Could that be reason for your infatuation hmmm I wonder!!!

Why is it that White Americans Are so obsessed with what African Americans are doing all the time?
My guess is that many of them genuinely want to understand the culture better and have a better understanding of why people do things differently, and I think that's admirable. The others are probably just being a**holes.
Reply:Your question is the PRIME example for why there is so much hate and discontent between whites and blacks. Think about it for a minute and the answer will come to you, i'm sure.
Reply:They need to keep tabs on their property...I mean citizens, CITIZENS!!!





Don't let the horrid racists who troll this site give an impression of "white America". I lived in Virginia, only black family on the block. Very few racial incidents. The worse was my friends mom. Even the friend was disgusted.
Reply:because we don't know why you guys try as hard as you can to separate yourselves from everything else, like the black expo, ebony magazine, Ms. black usa, black entertainment television, African American (your just an American) when we do talk about our own culture many of you call us racists!?!


i don't understand why you think its weird we ask these questions
Reply:I don't care, im focusing on other culture groups. Similar to my own.
Reply:Are you saying all blacks have gold teeth, wear their pants sagging, and have foul mouths? You are just as bad by making a broad generalization about whites by grouping them soley based on race.
Reply:You have to remember that one culture's normal is another culture's weird. I'm Eastern Cherokee and find the whole gold teeth, sagging pants and foul mouths thing gross as well--that has nothing to do with just white people. When you do something, be prepared to explain why you do it to the dominant culture. I have to do that with some of our Cherokee customs, so get used to it.
Reply:I'm white and I'm not obsessed with that, those white people are racist; so are black people that say whites can't dance and have no butts, prejudice is just stupid.
Reply:OK, 1st off, white people do not lack cuture. We just do not have to display ours with cheap grillz and $50 gats. Secondly,I am not sure who you are talking about, but I do not care what black people are doing. HOWEVER%26lt; it is true that it is hard to respect someone with saggy clothes, gold teeth, etc. Inversely, it is equally hard to respect a person with dip in their mouths, flannel shirts, tight wranglers, and cowboy hats. It goes both ways!!
Reply:As a Black person, sometimes I am amazed at some of the "cultural norms" associated with young Black people. (My own son included). We have had numerous discussions regarding his clothing choices and his music choices (although I fully acknowledge that I cannot make his choices for him). Truthfully, I am equally fascinated by some of the norms associated with white America. I conclude that we should all live and let live and if a particular trend or choice offends or perplexes you, then don't make that choice for yourself.
Reply:Because white americans are usually police and African Americans are usually committing crime!
Reply:Because they don't take the time to understand who other people are I understand a little bit and my sisters boyfriend is Adrican American and we have a great friendship asking those questions is like aking people why they are white or why they eat like white people don't listen to them you are who you are and thats the way it is.

How to be black?

Dear Black guys,





I am a white guy who can appropriatley be considered a "Wigger" The thing is I know there is a very fine line between doing something so that it comes out right and looking like a fool, Is there a way I can combine the different elements of being a black dude, you know the ebonics, the gold teeth, the Fubu clothing ect. in a way THAT WILL NOT CLASH.





What is the definitive guidline for a white guy trying to be black (a Wigger) in an appropriate style...





Also, can I be a rasta hair style and still not class in copying the USA black style?? Girls like the rasta hair style, and If I have to back it up with fists then I say bring it on.





I want to be a bad azz, and I am fully prepared to back it up, so any of my bros out there want to challenge me, then I say come on and step right up! I will not let you take my blackness away from me. Waz up!

How to be black?
Tell you what homie, BE REAL. That is the first rule of the game. I know tons of White kids like you that dress like Black, even wear gold chains all over'em and get fake gold teeth. BUT you gotta be REAL not like'em. It ain't about your FUBU wear, gold teeth or your leaning shoulder and baggy jeans.

Does anyone here who watches Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop help me?

Once again I am on a quest to get my boyfriend a birthday present. I was thinking either a Samurai sword (katana) OR this certain Japanese game (that I don't know the name of) that I saw both in Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo episode 5 (that Jin is playing with an old man who has all gold teeth and ends up winning and making money off of at the end of the episode. Any opinion as to which I should get for him? And if it's the game, could anyone tell me what the name of it is?

Does anyone here who watches Samurai Champloo or Cowboy Bebop help me?
The game is called Shogi: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi





I'd say it really depends on what your boyfriend likes to do better. I personally would like Shogi if I had some people to play with. A sword is always just plain cool. If your boyfriend likes strategy games, and has other people to play them with- go with Shogi. Otherwise the sword is a safer bet, and it is almost guaranteed that he would enjoy it.
Reply:i think i know what game you are talking about but i dont know the name here is a site for Japanese games and what they are called http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Jap...


as to which one you should get him i would say the sword just cuz guys like swords (so do i but I'm not a guy)plus it would be really cool to have a sword from an anime or video game personally i would love to have the gun sword from the final fantasy games

Chongas...?

in my SUPER preppy school, they think everybody who wears hoop earring((even small ones)), brazilian jeans, and has gel in there hair is a chonga!!!!!! do u agree because this is the way i like to dress but i dont wear make up or have gold teeth or talk ghetto or anything i just happen to like these clothes, so do u agree?

Chongas...?
sounds like ur school is pretty racist calling girls monkeys??? Yeah i would definately be slapping some of those girls. You need to wear what YOU like and feel comfortable in. Don't worry about what close minded people like them think. Obviously there's not a lot of "color" in your school? If you are a latin or black girl or just a girl of culture, please be proud of who and what you are! These people are just ignorant and don't appreciate the beauty of different people.


I definately don't agree with a school or people like that, wear what you want and work on finding a more supportive crowd
Reply:I dont agree. u shouldn't care what other people think be urself like,i luv that stuff butt im not ghetto,or a chonga,and at my preppy school they're like that too i just ignore them and hang out wit my friends who except me 4 who i am
Reply:thats how it is at my school to but im preppy and usually when i see a girl with hoops and brazilian jeans and gel, my first impression is that they are chongas but if i start talking to them then i realize that they arent chongas, they just dress like chongas.





i dont think that you are going to get a lot of answers to this question because most people dont know what chongas are, i think you have to be from miami to know what a chonga is. i know that in california they call them cholas not chongas

What happened to Auschwitz after it was liberated in Jan '45?

Did they make it into a hospital right away, or a refugee center? Or, was it immediately sealed off and condemned? Did any of the local Poles scavenge the site looking for anything they could use for their dreary post-war lives, like wood, cloth, or worse, gold teeth?

What happened to Auschwitz after it was liberated in Jan '45?
When the Nazis heard that the Soviets were coming, they blew up the camp in order to hide their crimes. They burned their papers. They evacuated the camp; about 60,000 prisoners were forced on a death march to to the city of Wodzislaw in the western part of Upper Silesia..."SS guards shot anyone who fell behind or could not continue. Prisoners also suffered from the cold weather, starvation, and exposure on these marches. More than 15,000 died during the death marches from Auschwitz. "


Those too weak or sick were left behind. The Red Army liberated about 7,500 on Jan 27 1945.

Why can people not accept people being gay?

Homosexuality has been around for centuries. In the Shakespearian times, when they would have those play acts, little boys would play role of a female. So in todays standard that not only makes them homosexual. So why still in todays world are people still bigots about it? It's not like baggy pants and gold teeth. Homosexuality is going to be around forever, as it already has been.

Why can people not accept people being gay?
I practice acceptance of everyone myself. God's running things--Not me. If your good enough for him (and EVERYONE is his kids), you certainly just fine with me...It's all about the BIG LOVE! Kevin
Reply:Because they choose to be intolerant, mean, persumtuous, hating, rude, bible-belching bigots who are too bored with their own lives, so they have to make other people feel bad to make themselves feel better.
Reply:Because there will always be ignorant ppl out there, continuing hate because they are not happy w/ their own life and constantly want to bring others down.
Reply:i agree and what gets on my last nerve is wen they hide behind the so called gods word hello god is not hate hes pure love he loves his children no mater what and yes people god did not write the bible men did to con troll others and aids its not only gays straight people have it lets not forget the problem with aids in Africa dose that make all the people infected of aids in Africa gay? no it docent. so these people need to just get educated because they really need it
Reply:Most people do not accept homosexuals because they believe it is some sort of a wierd fetish. They are taught from a very early age that homosexuals are not people and that it is ok to kill them. They are pressured to hurt others because thats all they grew up with. They have refused to accept science and go abound beating their matras of hatred because they have nothing better to do with their lives. They would rather worry themselves about two guys humping each other, rather than focusing on issues that affect every one such as unemployment and the war that we are fighting today.
Reply:Because God didn't create gay people. Demons have been around for centuries too.
Reply:Because people are afraid of what they don't understand, and also because they are afraid of what others will say if they actually broaden their perspective and see how hard it is to be gay. I use to hate myself for being gay, because everyone that I knew hated me for it. But, now I see it like this, if it doesn't effect you and who you are going to be with for the rest of your life, why should you even care? And if you aren't gay and have something bad to say about us, you should shut up, because you have no idea of the pain and suffering that we have to go through every day!!! As a matter of fact, most of you couldn't handle it, and would have a mental break down after one day in our lives!!! Most of us didn't choose to be this way, we were born like this, and yet, we are being punished for it!!!
Reply:There's all kinds of things other people won't accept about you. And by you I mean the general you, as in all of us. As soon as you realize that your life will be that much simpler.
Reply:Because they are intolerant and many are self-righteous and use the Bible to condemn gays. But except for those in the old testament, all the other verses are based on either the assumption that all humans are heterosexual or that those that are talk about in the New testament are those that were perceived to be heterosexual, though homosexuality was their natural state of sexual orientation. Also many are socialized to believe that heterosexuality is the norm and that homosexuality is totally wrong, that all that participate in such activity are sick and deserve to die.
Reply:Cuz people are really really ignorant and they think someone can just choose to be gay out of nowhere.

Are most Blacks affluent?

Are most Blacks affluent? I notice that they tend to have the fanciest cars, flashiest clothes, attention-getting jewelry and latest cell phones. I've seem too many to count with a ring on every finger and mouth full of gold teeth. I go to so-called poor neighborhoods and see many things I will never be able to afford. These items are usually beyond the reach of the poor so I'm assuming Blacks are generally affluent nowadays. I assume that they have all these material trappings because their financial priorities are 100% in order. Is this assumption correct? Or am I being fooled by a kind of superficial consumerism perpetrated by those who are attempting to buy their own piece of the American dream?

Are most Blacks affluent?
LOL Funniest question I've seen all day! I believe the answer is not that their financial priorities are 100% in order but that the IRS makes sure mine are.

Is this racism?

i have some black freinds they are usually middle and upper class people, they talk very formal,dress preppy and are very nice. like my freinds dad is a surgeon and i get along well with my black freinds , but i hate the type of people that use "ghetto" language , have gold teeth ,wear really baggy clothes , and have weird ghetto hair, and have names like shwandika and it just happens that most of them are black ,for example i hate this girl ,Jaahmekalika , she is all i decribed, when i see her i think that she looks like a monkey or somthing, is this i am describing racism?

Is this racism?
In a way you kind of are but I understand how you feel. I am the kind of black person you described first. I speak properly and am not ghetto. I know a girl who is also black but she is definitely ghetto and sometimes I am so ashamed of her. She makes me want to blend in with the scenery. As for the hairstyles, that's just culture. I'll admit some are crazy but some are just an expression of our African roots and a symbol of pride in who we are. As for the gold teeth I completly agree, they make people look gross.
Reply:I thought you weren't racist till you said the monkey part. I hate people like you.
Reply:I think you may be more of a snob than a racist.
Reply:That's just common sense but now a days common sense is often called racism. Common sense also isn't all that common anymore.
Reply:its a toughie, its like half of it is true. i mean some ppl don't act civilized. and that goes to all races. i mean ppl think ghetto is wonderful and cool when it's not. those kind of ppl get on my nerves. but the monkey part was unnescesary (i don't knoe how to spell ok?) but u are right
Reply:pffft. aint really racist, me myself, i think black ppl r awesome, but i hate all these gangster/ghetto ppl
Reply:I don't think so. I am personally racist against stupid people. I don't care what color they are. You are probably just a ghetto trash racist. Do you feel the same way about white guys that have gold teeth, baggy clothes, and have wierd hair? If you do, I think you're justified.
Reply:Answering why do you hate them will help you answer your question. I think you have a strong prejudice towards a specific culture. Maybe more time around them and less around the others will broaden your perspective.
Reply:Well, as long as you don't hate them just because they're black. If you hate them because of the way they dress and act that's fine. But you shouldn't hate people because of their name, you don't pick your name.
Reply:Yes you are indeed a racist, my friend. But you didn't need little old me to tell you that.





Have a nice day! ^.^
Reply:I don't care if people think you are racist or not. I don't think you are. I'm black and I cant stand ghetto people. when did being ghetto start being cool. young black kids need to learn responsibility and family values.
Reply:Well of course she would look like a monkey. I mean aren't all humans related to apes? All people look like monkeys. Black people always talk about how everyone is out to get them or how they are underprivileged, but then I see people who don't even live anywhere near a ghetto acting like this. There are ghetto people from every race and the way you describe it, you seem to just hate ignorant people. Hating someone because they're ignorant isn't racist at all, but hating someone because they're black is.
Reply:The monkey comment has overtones of racism. But you're not an overtly racist person. Continue to befriend the kind of Black people you like and ignore the ones you don't.





P.S. Please never say any Black person looks like a monkey. Especially to your Black friends, you will hurt their feelings no matter how much you like them or they like you. Which they obviously do =)

Is it really a big deal that white students had a "gansta" party?

As a Clemson student, I really dont understand why people are so upset about an off-campus party at someone's private apartment where white kids dressed up as gangstas and wore "ice" and fake gold teeth. If you ask me they were just degrading themselves by dressing like that and acting uneducated.





Why are blacks so quick to claim this "culture" if you can call it that, as their own? And why is the media not showing the other side of Clemson, where blacks throw exclusively black parties? There were even blacks there at the "gangsta" party...





What do you all think of this issue?

Is it really a big deal that white students had a "gansta" party?
I guess since a lot of blacks have been criticized for being "gangsta" and how blacks are already stereotyped as gangstas. And then i guess if white kids do it it's kinda like blackface when whites dressed up and did "stereotypical" black things. It's a lot deeper than what you think. A lot of white people don't understand how it is to be black and they always feel blacks are complaining but i wish white people could switch races for a day and feel the feeling.

Do you think rappers and most people that say they are a thug is too chiche today?

Today there are so many rappers and mostly teenagers that say they are thugs. Not to be against rappers and all, but it seems today that they say there thugs this and thugs that. The way I see it a REAL thug is the one that rob and kill people, they don't wear gold teeth, diamond rings, and necklaces. Real thugs and gangsters was back in the 1910's-30's when Al Capone and Gotti was still alive, they didn't own just one block on the street they owned the half of the city. Plus they didn't run from the police they owned the police. Now that's Gangsta!!!

Do you think rappers and most people that say they are a thug is too chiche today?
I agree with Pamela O that there is too much thug life encouraged in rap music today. But I must correct ErinfromOZ for saying that rap music sales are at all time low. Hip-hop sales are at an all time HIGH. Hip-hop is a very popular music genera right now because of all of the sex and drugs and thugs. It's sad but true.
Reply:true. but i dnt like that sort of music anyway
Reply:Hip-hop record sales are at an all-time low. I think people are starting to yawn about thugs.
Reply:I completely agree!!!!
Reply:I agree.
Reply:That's just one reason why I don't listen to rap often sadly. If you hear one gansta rap song you've heard them all. They say the same thing and I'm tired of it. Rappers can't be thugs anyway. The only one that was close to bein a thug was Tupac and Biggie. All of them are too busy now tryin to make more money and keep a good name so they won't get put in jail. The only time that I listen to rap is if it's doesnt have anything to do with bein gansta or how much money they got cause that's just bein a poser.
Reply:true but i think the term thug has been stretched since the 30's
Reply:I AGREE %26amp; DISAGREE
Reply:I feel you on that. BET had a series called "American Gangsta" and those guys are TRUE GANGSTAS!!! Cause a rapper is from the streets doesnt allow him to wear GANGSTA across his chest cause if he ran across one of those real OGs his aZZ would return home to his mamma crying. You can be a real GANGSTA and be a rapper cause for one you got to many people around you so Im sure a real OG dont trust a lot of people and for two when will you have time to be GANGSTA and you rapping on stage every night; when you should be putting work and time in the streets. I dont think the rap game as ever had a REAL TRUE GANGSTA. Maybe The Game is the closes cause I honestly feel he doesnt care about sh*t and might punch your teeth out if you cross him. Also to add another rapper I'll have to say Jezzy; I meet him a couple times and he's REAL ABOUT HIS!!
Reply:you should be against rappers, rap is (c)rap, rap causes rap(e), rap sucks

Yeah me too!! My daughter is in college and we would call each other up and talk about the show. We had alot of fun. I agree with you, who in the hell would want a man like that!!

White guys && black women???

I'm curious to find out how many white guys would actually date a black chick...i tend to lean more towards white men than black guys b/c most of them are quieter and more reserved than black men....i could do w/out all the gold teeth, loud rap music, and annoying slang from time to time...of course, there are some white men who act that same way, but i'm pretty quiet %26amp; it kinda bothers me. Are there any black women out there who feel the same way i do?? %26amp; to the white men, have u ever dated a black woman? how was ur experience with her? I'm just curious is all

White guys %26amp;%26amp; black women???

Reply:Yes I would, why not?
Reply:Of course I would. Who wouldn't? Why not? I actually still greatly regret that I didn't take advantage of being with a great woman who was black in high school. She had a thing for me, and I liked her a lot. I was still very young and stupid, I think 14 or 15, and I chickened out. I see her today as a still beautiful woman and a great mom, too, and I kick myself. I was and am still very shy, so it's never easy to ask any woman out. In any case, yes, white guys and black women should go out together if they want and not worry about what anyone might say ot think.

How LEGIT/SAFE are Find It Apartment Locator....?

I'm in a little tricky situation.


I have broken lease and I went to the:


FIND IT APARTMENT LOCATOR in Houston,TX.





Does anybody have any experience with them?


I just don't wanna get taken advantage of or so.


I went to their office one day and the staff just looked unprofessional.


A couple had gold teeth and some of the staff were wearing very baggy clothes.





This is probably the easiest option since I've got broken lease and that they do accept that a few places.


I would just like to kinda double check before I actually let them help me finding an apt. to rent???

How LEGIT/SAFE are Find It Apartment Locator....?
you can find one on your own with just a few hours of calling around. I would not suggest using them as they either charge you or the management group for the service and there normally is no guarantee you will get a good apartment. Some of them have the management group charge you an addition dollar amount every month and the management group sends the extra money to the locator service. Using them does not make it easier for you to get into the apartment either. Filing out your own application would get you just as much of a chance and without having to pay extra for it.
Reply:wrong wrong wrong there is no i say again NOOO charge at all Report It

My experience with Religious Vultures.?

Recently a friend passed away. The family gave the local church people permission to come into the house and take things for their mission work. However, these religious people used the "open house" as their own personal opportunity to shop for free for their families. I became so upset watching them ransack this poor person's house, I closed myself in the house, not wishing to watch it any more. It was like party central and these supposed friends of the deceased couldn't even take a day off on the day this person was getting buried, but instead backed trucks up to the house and loaded up. What religion were these people taught??? I have called them vultures, locust and every other thing I can think of. It reminds me of old time grave robbers stealing gold teeth off the dead. The family didn't seem to care, but I felt this poor woman was taken advantage of when she was unable to protect herself. Your thoughts??

My experience with Religious Vultures.?
agreed. if they were selling the items and giving it to the church or some kind of mission work that would be one thing. sounds like it was a free for all which is pathetic.

I suppose I'm being a little unfair, most religions are harmless and provide a service for those looking for it. I draw the line when the christian talaban trys to legislate my morality and tell me how to live my life. Id be alot more sapportive of things like churches and faith based organizations if they would just saty out of the lives of non-beleavers
Reply:While what you 'saw' may have seemed 'an excess' on the part of the people TAKING the stuff, you may have 'seen wrong' what was actually happening ... did your friend (or her family) KNOW these people, and did she (or her family) want EVERYTHING out of the house as soon as possible? When I 'die' I want my church to 'take everything' and use it for someone who 'needs it' and if that is the person who is 'picking it up' then so be it. I'll be 'dead' and my 'last good work' will be to be 'cremated' and have my ashes spread on someone's roses, because 'ash' is very 'healthy' for roses, and I won't 'need' my body or ANY of my 'things' after I die ... and yes, I do have kids ... and they 'know' my feelings on death, and they'll 'do what I ask' of them and not want to 'keep' anything that 'belonged to me' ... and my husband will do 'the same' thing, too ... and we'll be 'together in Heaven' in the end ...
Reply:So sorry for your lost. Let's try not to blame "religion" for the selfishness of people. Religion doesn't cause ignorance , people just use it as an excuse to fulfill their own desires. Remember that the things in this world will all fade away, it is what is stored up in Heaven that we need to focus on. Stay strong in YOUR faith and let others defend their own actions in the name of a "religion".

Americans In Need Of A Humour Transplant. These poor unfortunate human zombies believe everything their government and media tells them. Living their lives TOTALLY in fear!





They work incredibly long hours and ask no questions for fear of Community ridicule and being sacked with they and their families forced to beg at churches!





They are FORCED to shop for things they DON'T NEED or want, but can't resist the idea of 4 seperate payments of $19.95, or a one off payment of $19.95.





Their media has them completely in fear daily, of being robbed outside their homes by large African Americans with gold teeth, African Killer Bees, White powder seeping under their doors and the cracks in their windows, and a terrible fear of being shot from a parked car in a gas station.





94% of Americans have a bunker in their back garden filled with enough cans of beans to feed an entire borough in NY for 17 years. Please Please Please help to stop Ignorance!.

What's the obession with being ghetto in the black community?

I am black, southern, and educated. Didn't grow up in the best of neighborhoods and watched my poor parents struggle to make ends meet---but NEVER until (now) have I been more upset with this whole "ghetto" subculture.





Its not "cute" to have so many gold teeth that you scare small kids.





Its not "cute" to talk so horrible that your english has to be translated.





Its not "cute" to buy into the idea that felonies, jail, or criminal activity is normal.

My fellow blacks, why do we invest so much into material things (read on) ?

First, before I get started, I am not interested in ignorant racist answers so expect to be reported!! Now on to my question. I watch so many music videos based on "sippin on Cristal" or "rolling on 22's". All of today's music is about blinging platinum and diamonds, driving a Maybach or some other expensive car or insulting black women. If we're not rapping about any of those subjects, we're rapping about killing one another. And then we wonderwhy our children are growing up with no morals or values and no respect or regard for another human's life. So many of my black brothers are driving around in fancy cars with huge, shiny rims, gold teeth (mostly in the south) and can't save up enough money to move out of their mother's house. When will we as a people learn that this is our downfall? When will we learn to focus on more important things like saving for our children's future, investing in a home for our families, raising our children properly etc??

My fellow blacks, why do we invest so much into material things (read on) ?
Who was it that taught blacks to hate the color of their skin, texture of their hair? Who taught them to hate the shape of their nose, shape of their lips? Who taught blacks to hate their self each other so much so they don't like to be around each other?





Blacks have been taught to hate their self and find love in material things, because back in the day they said "a black man think he made it if he had a cadillac." I believe they try to hard to buy stufff just so people will know they have money.





Like example when they go out they have to have the lastest shoes and new clothes. Jewerly, expensive too and a nice car with rims. So this way everyone can see "they have money" I believe it's a strong need for them to be able to show they a not poor.





I think it just self esteem they say "what a man think so is he" when you hear a rapper rapping about material things Like Baby from Cash Money then you know that what he is. He need those thing to make him happy. Because most blacks are this way they will spend and spend to keep up all because they have been taught they need these thing to feel important.





You have to solve the root of the problem I was once that way and still something am. I use to want everything I couldn't afford. Come to think of it, it was only to make me feel better about myself. I got a 07 escalade because I could afford it. Others do it just because someone esle did it.





Truth is they have been poor so long that they want to buy all of this stuff to feel better about theirself which is more important than the long run. You seen it, if a person feels bad about something then that's one of the worst things a person can go through. Like women who spend money on shoes, face lifts to feel better and be happy. Also by watching the Media they praise this image and the people like this justice this image by saying i'm better than you.

Reply:I think TV has alot to do with it. I don't think it's just effecting the black children, I think it's effecting all children. I wish i had the answer for you, just know your not alone
Reply:As an Asian guy I have always wondered that same thing. With the exception of guys like P. Diddy, Jay Z., Russell Simmons, and few others most do not think of the future. They all live for right now. Look at MC Hammer and Mike Tyson. They were worth 100's on millions of dollars years ago and now both are nearly broke.


They spent a lifetime's worth of money in less than a decade and allowed outsiders to influence them into making bad investments or bad choices which led to their demise. Also, why do none of them invest in black owned business other than clothing companies. I remember when Michael Jordan used to have a celebrity golf classic about 100 miles from me and you never saw him step foot in the ghetto to meet the kids who bought his sneakers and clothes. He always hung with the upper class people which were usually white.
Reply:I think it makes people feel better about their over all appearance. If you drive an expensive vehicle, and have lots of diamonds and expensive cloths. It doesn't make you somebody. Material things are not important to me because of the way I was raised. I was raised to think love, family and friendships were more important than the brand of jeans you put on in the morning. I believe it all comes back to how you were raised.


Red, Yellow, Black,and White. It doesn't matter when you were not taught right from wrong. I can't answer the question when will we learn to focus on more important things, but I will say this,


By the time you know you didn't save or invest in your future it's probably way to late!
Reply:I hope that you don't mind that I put an answer in here, I am white.


But I can surely see your point. I lived in or near black neighborhoods for much of my life and have seen what you are talking about firsthand. I have many black friends and some do what you are talking about. They have expensive clothes, top of the line shoes, gold necklaces, and really nice cars and they save up money to buy expensive things. And most important a high powered stereo in their car so that people 3 blocks away get to hear it to. And I am not a racist in anyway, I have nieces and nephews that are half-black and I never thought much of it one way or the other. But I can tell you that I would never go into a bar where it is mostly black people because I know that any arguement will end up in violence. And there are black racists.





As you say rap music, that is, much of it is about drugs and violence, kill cops, kill brothers, kill whoever. This is not just a black problem but is spreading all over our country. I know people that are 25 years old, still live at home with their mother, don't work but somewhere they get money for drugs. In Milwaukee, WI where I live numerous shootings in black neighborhoods have resulted in any black children being shot, "by accident." That is, the shooter was shooting at someone else. I watch the black mothers grieve and cry on TV


about their loss, and it is heart breaking. I hope that this changes soon, but I doubt that it will. And that is just to bad.

Funeral Question?

My family and I are helping a friend who is dying and they want to know if the gold teeth they have can be extracted after their death to be sold and use to help his brothers teenager with their future college fund? If so, who does it? Who should I and my family contact to make this arrangement?

Funeral Question?
No, this is illegal because it is undue abuse of a corpse, and for the very small amount of gold that is actually in the teeth, it is worthless. Besides, there has to be a better method to a college fund than ripping out the teeth of a deceased person to sell. That is very disrespectful, and I would never, ever honor that request. That is where I draw the line. I ama funeral director and have had this request only once, and the answer was no, absolutely not.
Reply:Have the funeral home do it after death
Reply:Dude, sorry but thats so sick. Let the poor dead guy have his teeth. No dentist is probably going to extract teeth from a dead guy without that mans permission in writing anyway. Who wants to buy it either?
Reply:Why wait til after death, at that point you'll have to go through probate to get anything? Just grab a bottle of Jim Beam, a pair of plyers and go to work! Hell, they're dying anyway, what do they care?
Reply:it would probably cost more to get it melted down and them taken off than it would be worth....now if there were diamonds in those teeth it would be a different story.
Reply:Ask the funeral director. I'm sure they get that kind of question all the time. If they don't do it, I'm sure they know where to send you.
Reply:Your funeral embalmer should be able to do this for you. It is treated like jewelry I guess. Gold teeth are not worth very much however. They contain alloys instead of purest form of gold. But I am sure the embalmer who prepares the body can tell you more. Just Ask.


Good Luck
Reply:The mortician will be glad to assist you. While some find it squeamish, it is no big problem for the professional. I just inherited and sold 3 gold fillings - $50.
Reply:Talk to the mortician. Better yet, have the friend put it in his will that he would like his gold teeth to be extracted and given to his brother. You can then talk to the physicians and mortician about who can perform the procedure.
Reply:Ask the funeral director or funeral pallor........... good luck
Reply:In some states, only certain people can do it. In others, anyone with pliers can. I admire his stand on helping his relative and hope all goes well for the person who may be dying. They show true courage! I would ask the funeral director, I am sure he or she has heard similar requests many times.
Reply:Wow, that's a sensitive subject. First, I'm sorry that your friend is dying. I am assuming a funeral director might be able to answer your question... or at least point you in the right direction. I would also assume that someone with dental experience would need to remove the teeth... hopefully the funeral director will have the answer for you. Good luck and God Bless!
Reply:yes you can the undertaker can remove them.there,s places that sell and by gold, that,s were you go to. that,s why people like to be grave diggers,
Reply:I'm sorry to hear about you soon to be loss. My cousin was killed in a car accident a couple years ago and she too had gold teeth. I'm not telling you not to, but I don't think that gold from teeth are worth as much to use for a college fund. We kept her gold tooth with her. I don't think that we had them removed and if I were on the other side, I'd love to help out my family but I wouldn't want to pawned out. I know I'm not helping you, but I would go to a jeweler and the mortician and ask for some references. I don't know where you are located, but they would be the most knowledgable about local places for that. Take care and remember that your friend is losing their family member in the best way. He is leaving this world and not being taken away like my cousin. Take care.
Reply:You would have to hire a dentist to do it which would be cost prohibitive......also the gold is such a small amount it is virtually worthless.

Are blacks generally wealthy?

Are most Blacks affluent? I notice that they tend to have the fanciest cars, flashiest clothes, attention-getting jewelry and latest cell phones. I've seem too many to count with a ring on every finger and mouth full of gold teeth.





I go to so-called poor black neighborhoods and see many things I will never be able to afford. These items are usually beyond the reach of the poor so I'm assuming Blacks are generally affluent nowadays.





I assume that they have all these material trappings because their financial priorities are 100% in order and all their other needs have been met. I hope to get there one day.

Are blacks generally wealthy?
Puh-lease. I see people of all races living above their means and who make materialism their priority.





But I know you're a sad, sad troll.
Reply:yes blacks own the majority of the companies
Reply:Are whites generally talented???
Reply:Nice. LMAO!
Reply:This is a stupid question.





There are blacks of all classes





The poor that you are referring to tend to buy the small material things in life that are within their means. Don't begrudge them for buying a cell phone and wearing jewelry.
Reply:It's called the swap meet, flea market, or someones backyard where they sell are this crap or put "gold" teeth in their mouths.
Reply:someone will probably report you for being


'racist'





lol


im not even gonna state my opinion i dont


wanna piss anyone off
Reply:I don't think there is a race that is "generally wealthy" the world is full of the poor, of all ethnic backgrounds. There is always more poor/middle class than the wealthy.





Also, where I live, blacks are generally poor. Perhaps the wealth of a certain ethnicity depends on location.
Reply:There is no way to answer this without sounding racist. BUT... if you are looking in the poor black neighborhoods the people there probably bought cheap knockoff stuff or stole it. Either that or they are drug dealers. I will say the same about the white people in poor areas too.
Reply:im not gunna say anything cuz i might get pissed at.
Reply:The poorest peope in the US are White women
Reply:It's more of a trend than a way of life. You'll find this in any race/culture,etc. The people who live this way - with the nice cars and "bling" are doing it to stand out and try to impress each other. The same reason there are "rednecks" who have to wear as much camouflage as possible to stand out and impress among each other. The same reason most Asian cultures will pursue education as far as possible because they are considered nothing without it. Yes, these are all stereotypes, but it's just a way of wording things to try to better explain a point.
Reply:I'm black. And I'm wealthy. But my parents dont drive around in a giant SUV, with gold fillings and bling. That's all just materialism; a needless waste of money. All kinds of people can have money, but only the ones who invest, spend, and save wisely are truly rich.
Reply:chungsung4 is right. Anyway, I don't know what poor area YOU'VE been in. I do know, however, that good credit will get you many things you can't afford. And that goes for everyone.

"Last Resort"


That deep, lonely, and scary place,


my only last resort.


With tear-stained cheeks, I contemplate.


How can this be so real?


Become my true reality?


Didn’t know this was near,


I was taken by surprise,


and now I’m paying.





Everything appears so dismal.


Dark, long, matted-up hair,


hangs shaggy over my green eyes.


Smokey, purple bruises,


spread quickly across my body,


like some deadly disease.


Always retching so endlessly,


the stench of spewing liquid,


like stomach virus all the time.


The scent just makes me cringe.


Blisters bubble across my hands,


a burning sensation.


Appear from tugging at the ropes,


that drape along my neck and hands.


Blisters begin to bleed badly,


no longer can I tug,


or pull at the thick, light-brown ropes.


Hands now so delicate,


afraid they might break if I keep tugging.


And all in the meantime,


you sit in your stupid corner,


and snicker at me loud,


showing your bountiful gold teeth.


Treat me like I’m just dirt,


as I sob and shout for my life.





Stare up at the dark sky,


wondering why this is my life.


How I got stuck,


in this deep, dark, mud-like substance,


I’m living my last resort,


and I can’t seem to just break free.


Dying in this dark hole,


I only wish for freedom.


***************************


(i posted this a long time ago) But i was wondering, is my word choice decent? Or too imature? I was looking through my poem folder thing, and came across it. So what do you think of it? Do you like it? Do i need different word choices?? THANK YOU!

PLEASE! Check my poem out??
That was good,





But the second stanza is my absolute favorite. Its very descriptive, and flowed very well. The mention of light-brown added a type of irony in how thats a very calm gentle color.





Steve E is somewhat right though, especialy with the first stanza. Don't say scary; it really doesn't sound scary when you say that.
Reply:its good. you whould keep woeking. its not imature. i like it. no i dont hink you ned diff. words it came from you and its good.
Reply:I have felt like your poem before.





I guess my question to you would be are you in a better place now?





The poem is an expression of what you were going through at a certain point in your life. Leave it the way it is. You might lose something if you change it around.
Reply:very nice. do you write lyrics at all? i am a lyricist. and i used to write only poetry. try it! p.s. instead of "mud" try...something more visceral. -kj-
Reply:um wow its really long but i think u did good im not an expert so yea i dont think what i say counts but any ways i think ur poems viscous keep writing u might get some where some day. . .


but these parts scared me a lil:





Smokey, purple bruises,


spread quickly across my body,


like some deadly disease.


Always retching so endlessly,


the stench of spewing liquid,


like stomach virus all the time.


The scent just makes me cringe.


Blisters bubble across my hands,


a burning sensation.


(eww very graphic)
Reply:It sounds a little juvenile. One rewrite to update some words and it'll be fine
Reply:I loved the third stanza. I love the whole poem actually. I think that that is a lot of depth and that you should keep writing. It expresses inner thoughts and you are very talented.





Great work! ; )
Reply:You do seem need some rewording... I mean you go from 'dismal', 'spewing' and 'cringe' to "...stupid corner..." and "...mud-like..." It's like your trying to combined 2 different types of writing into 1. The kind where you use big words to describe great detail, and they kind where you don't. The kind where you just put how you were feeling using simple words.





Again, as I believe I've said this before, try writing a short story with it. You have the potential to write a brilliant short story with wording like that. But a poem...not so much... What your trying to go for is brilliant 'n like the fact that your trying to go for it. But a poem is not the way to achieve this.





Luck.

White people, why did this comment get 5 thumbs down? What does this tell you about white people?

Here's the comment,





" I LOVE black guys.


Especially if they have gold teeth!


They're great in bed too!!!!"





http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?...


It's the first answer to the question





White people secretly can't stand white women with black men

White people, why did this comment get 5 thumbs down? What does this tell you about white people?
How exactly did you fit a head that big up your rectum? Does it smell good up there? Did your parents raise ya to be a sensitive victim mentality drama junkie or did ya figure that one out by yourself?





If a white woman dated YOU, a racist whining like a spoiled little rich girl, I can assure you that it is because her lack of taste, inability to process simple thoughts, and failure to satisfy a real man knocked her out of the running for anything else.
Reply:It probably got thumbs down because it was a dopey comment that probably wasn't serious.





"Especially if they have gold teeth!"? Now that's just retarded.
Reply:The answers and question tell me the following;





There are a bunch of immature, idiotic, trolls on Yahoo! Answers.





In addition, the question and answers show little description about any race.
Reply:We took it to mean the person responding was making a racist stereotype that all black men are well endowed and have gold teeth. In other words, we thought the person was making a racist remark towards black men. Maybe you should, too. But then, you yourself are quite racist towards white people.
Reply:Another black man raised with a chip on his shoulder...It's your parent's fault...
Reply:I could care less either way dude. If you want to make this an issue go ahead but I don't care if every white woman goes with a black guy. I think you have a problem with overgeneralizing groups of people. The KKK do to.
Reply:..am I supposed to be impressed by the fact that your dental hygiene is so lacking you need gold teeth?
Reply:I don't think it has shyt to do with it being about black guys;


I think it just wasn't an intelligent comment to begin with....
Reply:Maybe it is perceived as racists itself... perhaps? Eat some watermellon and think on it a bit.
Reply:No, I have no problem. Please do not group all of us as a race together. Some do, some don't. It's not the entire race. Frankly, I don't care what race dates/marrys another. It's great how we can do that now-a-days.
Reply:I think it is not a racial thing. Most people are very much against Paris Hilton. Period. No matter what she does or says she has been getting a lot of negative media coverage.





In reality..I have not seen Paris Hilton date a black man..but maybe I am wrong..I am not THAT much of a fan of Paris Hilton...but who really cares as Paris Hilton is a billionaire and 26 years old and can date whoever she wants too
Reply:Those thumbs down maybe an indication that they don't agree with the statement.





Not that they can't stand interracial couples.
Reply:Think its just wrong and the gal is probably out after shock value or a crack whore.I personally don't care for interracial relationships and there are so many black kids without dads why try spreading it over to the white race however if they are married and really love one another more power to um.Putting gold all over your grill advertising gangsta drug money and the lack of knowledge on how to spend or invest money well thats their choice and not mine.Checked out your profile and you ain't much gotta say.
Reply:I think you are absolutely right! I live in Europe, in a country where 99% of people are white, and when my male friend, who is black, comes to visit me, we always face some strange looks when we get out. No one really tells us anything, but, by the way other people look at me, I can see they are thinking "there she is, a s**t with a black guy"! And that really hurts me. I can't stand the thing that they bring me in the position to even think of his skin color, and force me to explain that he is no different then any other white man.


Well, to be honest, he is different, since he really looks great! :)
Reply:I don't know, it could be that black dudes like you have an inferiority complex, which is why they frantically work out to prove something. Just like short white guys.





I'm Italian, and we are the f*ckin best, remember that.
Reply:She probably got thumbs down for having Paris Hilton as her avatar and screen name. I wouldn't matter what she said.
Reply:Well you must really have an inferiority complex so you use the analogy that all white women want to be with black men to make yourself feel better, as if you've gotten one over on the white man. That's cool bro hey if that helps boost your self esteem like taking a pic of yourself without a shirt on and putting it on yahoo answers go for it. Just also know that the majority of white women DON'T want to be with black men. The majority of females date inside of their own race.





Oh you should also know that a lot of black females are moving on to white men because they're sick of the ghetto hip hop imagery that so many of you and your brothers portray lol.


I had some sweet brown sugar last weekend that wouldn't want a thing to do with you and your skank ***.
Reply:I don't know why it got 5 thumbs down. I mean some white people are so stupid I admit. It was their preference and their is nothing wrong with that. Myself I LOVE black guys too ( I'm white) and who cares? I sure don't care what other's think. Your so right.
