A lot of people from the West Indies move to England or Canada before they come to the U.S. - I have heard them refer to the difference in title in regard to the other countries before. If you are black in the U.K.-you are British. Their history there is a bit different than here though.[/quote]


I have to agree with what you said about a countries history affecting how people view themselves. My parents are from Costa Rica and my family looks like the United Nations with colors ranging from white to black and everything in between. They all view themselves as Ticos/Costa Ricans. I feel that this a beautiful way to live.

To a large extent we live this way here in America. I am definitely proud to be a part of this country and have benefited from opportunities that arise as a result of bieng a part of this nation. I believe it is our history of violence, prejudice and abuse that has polarized us.

This thread started with white flight and someone mentioned class flight which I believe has now become a driving force. I moved Downtown Jersey City and my nieghbors are also hispanic. I didnt leave because of any racism toward my own people but I saw an area That seemed to be a great investment opportunity.

I dunno what it was about- for some reason he didn't want to be mistaken as being a "New Jersey black guy"- I never pushed him for a reason, as it wasn't my place to.

I am pretty sure your kids will be ok if they do not follow your example.
So tell me something that I said that isn't true?

Everything you said isn't true. Unless your statements account for 100% of the people your talking about, then it's a farce. Look up the term "fact" in the dictionary. I just put my kids to bed and I still am subject to infantile behavior. If your a racist, just admit it, don't be cowardly and run around the truth of yourself. I remember in one of my psychology classes in college, the instructor said that all (100%) racists have low self-esteem.

You forgot, since your talking about ALL of "Them"...

I went to Iraq to fight and die so my fellow americans can hate me....
True or False?

Some people think it's a game to play around and **** with someones esence/heritage etc. but if it's them who are on the receiving end. whoaaa. ****ing whiners, actually take time out of their Loser lives to state the "obvious". I'm white, yeah, but white men disproportionately molest and rape and abduct young children and in many cases brutally murder them. Bald white men go to Laos to find 10 year old boys they can perform all their sick lewd sexual acts on. All this is a fact. But what you racists should realize, none of it is stamped on white men like a nazi tatoo. Why? because the information is controlled by white men. So, why the hell should white men do this to minorities who pose absolutely NO threat to them. Find something else to do for gods sake, get a life....
