I don't think I've ever seen any sort of punishment for women who lie about getting raped.
People who tie up the legal system by making false accusations should face some sort of punishment -- financial or jail time.
No one deserves to have their lives thrown to the hungry media lions by a bald faced liar out to make a quick buck with no regard for the graveness of their accusations.
It sure does suck, but sounds like you think whites have to feel more of "what blacks have been getting since the slave ships landed". I hope I'm misunderstanding what you meant.
It also sucks that it was blacks who seized blacks and forced them onto those slave ships. There was no good in it then, too. Blacks have to put aside the resentments. The past is gone. Give everyone a chance to learn to live together peacably. Today's kids seem to be getting along with each other no matter what color they are -- until they get older, and then something kicks in. Maybe they're picking it up from all those older folk who won't let go of the past, do you think?
I am beginning to think that "Planet of the Apes" was more allegory than Sci Fi.
I am not using the title of the movie as a slur; rather the fact that one group, once considered dominent, finds itself inferior to the other. My apologies in advance to anyone who thinks this is a slur -- it is not intended that way.
Formally, I don't see it happening, but informally it's happening all over the place. Take the Washington DC metro area for example. Washington DC is majority black. Northern Virginia (the suburbs) are about as lily white as it gets. Southern Maryland (the suburbs) are an eclectic mix but vastly segregated by its own doing, with blacks, whites, and hispanics carving out their own enclaves. From an equality standpoint, we're all the same. From a social standpoint, every single person on this earth is racist in some way shape or form, and most of us would prefer to live in communities that reflect our own values and culture.
Yes, it is happening. Preference to live in a community which reflects one's own values and culture is not racist. Has nothing to do with race or color, but values. Multiculturalism doesn't work.

Oh I agree, there are I'm sure more than a few women out there who falsely accuse men of rape. It's sick. And you know what? Because of that, when rape actually DOES happen, it's not taken seriously. Not only because of those situations but also because more often than not alcohol is involved & unfortunately, even though the woman knows for a fact what happened was rape, the defense will rip her a new as* because she had been drinking.

I don't think this is offensive. I see your point.
I think another movie more recent that describes what you are talking about is "White mans burden" with John Travolta and Harry Belafonte(I think that is who it was).

But there WERE superior cultures...
There lies the root of ALL the problems with racism.
Always the need to assert this mentality as the gateway to say some should be free and some slaves.
Every race and/or culture on the earth made great contributions to modern society, we just have ignored their place, history, in order to say only one race of people ever furthered to state of human kind.
This phrase was used as it pertained to governments, but it applies to race and people also..."all are equal,but some are more equal than others", those who read the book know what I'm talking about!
You believe every culture is exactly equal???
LOL...I can see how that would make life difficult for you to understand....
I knew that my post would go over some people's head, so you are excused.
Ohio.com - Akron police investigate teen mob attack on family (http://www.ohio.com/news/50172282.html - broken link)
"Out of nowhere, the six were attacked by dozens of teenage boys, who shouted ''This is our world'' and ''This is a black world'' as they confronted Marshall and his family.
Sure sounds like a hate crime to me...
It sure is a hate crime. Do you realize if this were reversed and white teens did this to a black or hispanic family...this would be ALL over the news, ALL over the newspapers. This is what gets so disgusting. NO one has the right to do this to anyone of any race, and yes, the wonderful teens committed a hate crime.
this has some similarities to that lady who was beaten in ..Boston was it?. On a Bus. 5 black teen beat her an supposedly it was all over her refusing to give up her seat and a 'look' she gave the kids. When all that people see in other peoples mannerisms and attitudes is racially interpreted incidents like this are going to be common. Running around with a chip on your shoulder, in a world where everybody is spoiling for a fight, is a good way to get the fists flying.
Five black teens beat up a lady with a chip on her shoulder who was spoiling for a fight?
Sure, she must have gotten on the bus looking for a fight with a gang of black teen-agers.

Not according to Obama, or Supreme Court nominee Sotomayor. Obama says "empathy" is a key component. LOL
