Diversity

Ok so i was watching this program on the telivision talking about America, Murders, and races. It was saying that a lot of people in America point to african american people for the blame of a murder or a crime. WHY IS THAT?! we are all equaly violent, scary, freak-minded and capable to be a killer!

Why is it that some people feel intimadated by African American people or Hispanic people????! The only difference is the skin color and possibly the accent. So what makes people think that their scary??? or could be violent???

PLUS; they were saying that America has more killings, or crimes then any other country. Why is it that AMERICA is like that???? Why cant we (i live in the US) be like the other countries that are more peaceful?

It might be because the money to be violent (guns) but still.

i think that this whole thing is rediculus. The race of people and being intimidated, also with the crime in this country.

ps------(im so not scared or intimidated by any person of a diff race. I can walk past the ghetto parts of Detroit and not even give a damn about the people that walk past. Sure i might look over my shoulder, but who deosnt look over their shoulder when they walk past someone????)

Well the thing is, from the beginning, the white people didn't like anybody that was different from them, and still today.. they try to change everyone, through religion and way of life. first indians then africans.

it's true, americans are afraid of other races that are "different" from them through accent and skin color, but in reality there is no difference. you see american people complain about this and that, and then the next day they'll be outside tanning, trying to become the same skin color as the people they complain about.

america has put up this banner pointing out that they are the best country in the world, " land of the free" but it's just like propaganda, they point out all the good stuff, but leave the bad stuff out, and the in reality the bad stuff is america isn't as great as it claims it is, always fighting, changing other people to fit in like them because they're afraid.

If we keep being afriad we're just going to live in a shit hole our hole life! UGH! AND ALWAYS FIGHTING 4 NO REASON, TRYING 2 GET MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE! WE HAVE NO MONEY! YOU WANNA KNOW WHY??!??! CUZ WE SPEND IT ON GAS! AND WE GIVE IT TO THE GOVERNMENT BECAUSE WE ARE IN TWOOOOOO WARS!!!! TWO OF THEM!

THIS IS BULL SH**!

What the hell.......

:\

I live in Diverse-city!

hahaha i love Toby Mac.

Ya ok, nice job being seruis.

Yeah Tia, nice job spelling the word serious.

Oh, and about your queston in the topic, that's easily explained. It's because there are such a thing as racist people.

And when you said "who doesn't look over their shoulder when they walk past someone" I can say....me. Yep. Me and about 5000 other Londoners who are like that, hehe.

Oh for god sake, so my spelling isnt perfect.

but WHY DO PEOPLE HAVE 2 BE RACIST??

Why do people have to be racist?

People are racist for many different reasons, upbringing, fear, a sense of entitlement, they follow others. Even if we were all the same colour, people would still find reasons to hate one another, they do that today too. You cannot change everyone, but you can be a voice and a positive influence. (Generally the only reason I look back at someone walking by is if I think they are attractive or something stands out to me that I have to see again, nothing usually to do with the colour of skin, unless you have tanned yourself orange)
