Black people have many legitimate excuses for the poor state of their community.  But at the end of the day - so what?  Someone's gotta make a move, either the disenfranchised step it up or the powers that be help out a little more.  Sure, a combination of the two would be ideal.  But that's not...

It's because bums occupy the same world as each other.  And people tend to gravitate towards those they feel are similar to them. Let's say you see this hot slutty chick but all she wants to do is party all the time and she's not really thinking about 5 years down the line.  Do you think she's...

You're right if you say Kat took it too far and got ignorant. But you're also right if you say Kat has a point. It's true that immigrants are treated differently and often worse because of their "foreigner" status. But at the end of the day - you should become American. In the past, people...

Funny or not, what was Katt saying? That Mexicans are worse people?  No.  That Mexican culture is inferior?  No.  He even shouts out to Mexican Americans. I think he very crudely pointed out what a lot of Americans feel: Newly arrived immigrants, seemingly particularly those from Mexico or...

Like someone stated eariler, it's all about profits. If black comedies were making $, there would be more being made. IMO black culture blew up in the 90's to mid 2000's then the newness wore off. The white consumer audience is no longer fascinated by how cool and new black culture seemed at...

Every country/culture has to do what it needs to feel empowered/powerful. If that means willfully overlooking a few facts about where some of their great national treasures came from - so be it. How would that make the country feel to continually acknowledge it's secondary (although soon to be...

Filipino's are primarily ethnically Malay, the majority of their blood can be traced back to Malaysia/Cambodia. But many have been mixed with Spanish, Chinese, etc. over the years. Filipino culture historically has more Western influence than most other countries in Asia. There is not nearly...

Do I think the racial aspect played a role in the way the Miami Heat are viewed?  Yes, slightly but it was wasn't the main reason and it sort of turned into a racially divisive OJ trial type thing over Twitter.  

I absolutely agree, the hate on Lebron may possibly, in some cases, definitely be tinged by racism. Same with the extreme criticism of Obama for example. However, that does not excuse the fact that the hate is, at its core, mostly warranted based off behavior. It's tinged by racism, not...

It is a struggle for the children of immigrants, especially when your parents come from an extremely different culture like Bangladesh. You just gotta find kids (probably older kids) who grew up in the same situation, ask them for advice, find a mentor and figure out how they dealt with it...

Ya'll missing the point. Different environments/cultures call for different dress. If you live in the hood or an urban area by all means, feel free to dress like a hooper. Girls from the neighborhoods like that. If you resemble anything close to an actual baller, even better. If you live in...

This thread is ridiculous. Clearly, people are coming from different places so nobody can really win. But yes, if you want to have long-term financial success in this country and you're not a baller or rapper, it would benefit you to dress up every once in a while.
