It is us against them. They feel that they are being attacked by a single race and single religion and we feel the same way. This hatred is driven by fear. We feel unsafe especially after being attacked and it makes the country as a whole feel safer when we have extensive military over in the middle east. If there was military here everywhere I walked shooting innocent civilians I would hate not only them but who they represent as a whole. This would make me hate an entire group of people with out even knowing them. This seems to be understandable basic human instinct.

When your country has been attacked by someone else and innocent loved ones have been killed you need someone to blame. You find out who did it and you hate them, this is a natural reaction. Even if the hate is unreasonable or undeserved you need something and someone to hate or want to know why they did it or your loved one died for nothing. Suicide bombers avenging deaths may have unreasonable hate and their actions seem irresponsible but understandable depending on their individual situation. I am not saying suicide bombings are ok just that I think I can see where the extreme actions can come from.

I think the government would like you to think that the only reason we are there fighting because there are terrorists and they attacked us but there are so many more subplots to this war. We have a huge military far superior to any other military force in the Middle East much like the advantage we had in the Vietnam War. However we are sending more and more people all the time expanding this war to different countries, first Afghanistan, then Iraq, maybe Iran now? It seems to me from a distance that we are looking for reason to invade countries at this point and I think a lot of it has to do with their resources. Also I think American likes to play the role of a world police. There is intensive genocide and people dying all through Africa however we focus on terrorists groups in the Middle East. I understand we are fighting in the Middle East because they attacked us, but we are spreading ourselves too thin. We go into different areas and try to instill our religion and democracy as if all countries should do what we do because we are always right. I do not think that is the case. People in the Middle East have an entirely different culture than us and it is not our business to tell them how to politically run their country. I understand stopping Sadam Hussein and his evil doings but instilling a new government and virtually telling them how to run their country is not our job. I do not think we should be the moral leader and police of the world. First off it is very expensive to do that and we live in a bad economy right now. And if our economy is bad and our country is not doing well, that is more reason we should not be telling other countries what to do. We are not exactly the superpower we once were and we are not exactly the most morally correct people as well. Protecting our country and citizens should be the goal. I understand the reaction to stop evil when we see it but we can not stop everything in a world like today it is just too hard. There is too much bad out there to stop and it is a never ending goal. I am not saying we should go back to isolationism but having our nose in everyone else’s business is not the best thing for our country especially at this time. I respect everyone that is fighting for our country and is in the military because I know it’s a tough job. Sun, 18 Apr 2010 22:42:59 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/christian-invaders-the-turnaround__trashed/#IDComment68753036 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/want-to-learn-chinese__trashed/#IDComment67500952 I totally agree with the fact that learning language in high school is not a very affecting step in teaching students or Americans to be bilingual. If you are going to teach a language the best strategy is to be totally immersed in it for a period of time like visiting a foreign country or to learn from a very young age. I think if American public schools want kids to learn different languages they should be taught in preschool or elementary schools because it is much easier to learn then. I think someone who has the ability to speak several languages is very attractive to employers because it is something that is very difficult to learn. It is underestimated how important communication skills are, as an employer depending on the situation I would usually higher someone slightly less qualified but had excellent communication skills or was bilingual then someone who was more experienced. This is because I feel experience can be achieved but excellent communication is much harder to get. I think one of the things holding us back is that it may be hard to find bilingual teachers who want to teach at public elementary schools. They are known for being low paying jobs and usually someone who has bilingual skills is more useful doing something else. A solution could be the government could use some tax money to stimulate that particular job for several years and if it worked the proportion of high school graduates who were bilingual would be much higher. Then it would not be as hard to find a bilingual person because a higher proportion of people who have that skill. Also a question to ask is what language to teach. I think many parents would argue that they would not want to have their tax money used to teach kids a language. They would feel that money would be better spent teaching math or science. Other parents would disagree and say language skills are important, because of this conflict no direct moves have been made. I think as English because the global language people, especially Americans become less motivated to learn other languages. However so many more opportunities are present when you know another language that are looked over. I learned Spanish for 4 years in high school but no hardly any Spanish today. I have heard of people who went to Spain for a few months and learned more Spanish then I had in four years. I think that is the best way to learn the language rather than learning grammar from a textbook. In conclusion the current structure of language offered in high school is not a great way to increase communication skills in high school graduates. More kids should learn the language earlier or have opportunities to go to a foreign country and learn.

Affirmative action only affects ten percent of jobs and it gives lower class people who would not normally have an opportunity because of nepotism a chance to break through. If they broke through than their family is now reaping upper middle class benefits, their children get a better education and it may solidify upper class lifestyle for generations to come. I think it is good to give people a chance who would not normally even if they may not be as qualified. I have been given a job that I was not as qualifies as others but that just made me strive to worker harder to prove to others I actually deserved the jobs and I think this is commons with most people who get a job due to the benefits of affirmative action. Thu, 8 Apr 2010 17:58:45 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/what-about-the-women-issue__trashed/#IDComment66624381 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/is-quality-the-question__trashed/#IDComment66623934 Nepotism is much more unfair than affirmative action but much more difficult to prevent. I agree that most jobs I got and most jobs people I know have gotten were mainly because of who we knew not necessarily what we knew. However since I was young it has been preached to me to form relationships and network almost as much as it was to learn and good grades. Every person I knew that gave me a job was because of a relationship I went out of my way to earn. That was not given to me. If I was an employer I would feel more comfortable hiring someone I knew and I knew they would be a good employee than someone who may be a little more qualified but I just met. I think it is human nature because you feel more comfortable with people you already know. This is why it is so hard to prevent. Thu, 8 Apr 2010 17:54:11 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/is-quality-the-question__trashed/#IDComment66623934 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/what-if-we-got-rid-of-welfare__trashed/#IDComment66623411 I think welfare is and was created to keep the economy balanced and keep a balance between consumers and producers. When we are in an economic slump people usually do not spend very much money and in turn businesses and corporations that make many of consumer consumption will suffer. That’s why the government has programs in place like social security, welfare, minimum wage, unemployment, among others. These programs are relatively static and inelastic except for social security which seems to be depleting as time goes on. These programs are very important in keeping our economy stable if they were not in place then in a tough economic time like we have now middle class would shift to lower class and the lower class would shift to the lowest class with the upper class being relatively unaffected. This money from the government is pumped into our economy for a purpose and whether or not our economy is doing well there will always be a minimum wage and welfare. I do not know if it is necessarily a good thing but I know if protects us from having a huge great depressions although some argue we are approaching one. Another way of looking at it is that poor people that collect welfare have little motivation to go out into the real world and get a job. I think that can be true because it is like a security blanket knowing that you have money for your next meal, not glorifying unemployment because I know it is not a lot money. But lets face it, it is very tough for a low class person collecting welfare to turn around their life and get a well paying job in today’s world. Most jobs come from a connection or networking and most companies would be hesitant to hire someone with a lower class tract record. That is why affirmative action is in place. It is sometimes the only opportunity they get. Overall I think people are most motivated by dignity. Poor people do not want their neighbors to be paying for their health care and other people’s tax dollars to be paying for their food. They feel a sense of dignity from human nature to know whether or not they earned something or deserve it and I think we need to emphasize that when it comes to the motivation of lower class citizens. Sometimes they need to be thrown out of their comfort zone to compete in today’s world. Overall I think welfare has pros and cons, the pros is that it helps keep the economy stable for everyone but a con is that it can cause lower class citizens to lose motivation. Although everyone is different that seems to be the main point. Thu, 8 Apr 2010 17:49:27 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/what-if-we-got-rid-of-welfare__trashed/#IDComment66623411 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/nothing-about-the-census-is-easy__trashed/#IDComment65033702 I think the census is most likely created and conducted by white people, because the majority of the country is white and the majority of people that are in control and make decisions are white. This is why it does not surprise me when people are color get mad or offended by things on the census. It is tough to please everyone with anything that you do and this is a good example of it. No matter what term you use to refer to someone, someone will be offended. It is just a form to fill out to help the country out with demographics. No one is trying to offend anyone by it. The Census is a pure statistically analysis to help better our country. I can understand it being confusing if you are multi-racial I would not know what to do then. I would honestly probably put down whatever benefited me the most. Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:32:52 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/nothing-about-the-census-is-easy__trashed/#IDComment65033702 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/those-damn-dolls__trashed/#IDComment65032329 I was not too surprised that the white dolls were picked over the black dolls by the children. I think today’s media glorifies white people and features of white people. Beautiful black woman on TV are usually depicted with white features. I think this is inbred in our culture and seemed normal to me. To see someone say a black doll is bad kind of surprised me especially coming from a black person. However I feel when you are that young you may not identify racially or fully understand it because you are in the pre awakening stage. These children most likely are making their decisions of what they have seen rather than their life experiences because they do not really have any life experiences. The things they see and hear are the media and television and to me it seems their choices reflected what television and the media depict to us. Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:21:54 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/those-damn-dolls__trashed/#IDComment65032329 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/the-white-minorities__trashed/#IDComment65031652 The amount of minorities in the United States is increasing and in the next forty years it is predicted that white people will be the minority. In my opinion I think inter-city areas and areas along the Mexican border and Florida will be seeing the most drastic results. It is really hard for me to believe that a state like Pennsylvania which is 85% white will change to white people being the minority in only 40 years. That is next to impossible. So the areas that will see the most change will be areas that are already experiencing change. These areas are use to other cultures assimilating in and it will not be a shock. Areas in the Southeast already have a lot of Mexicans and they will increase in the next 40 years as expected. I think it will take a lot longer than forty years for a city like New York or Boston to change its dynamics and have the minority be white, if that ever even happens. What will take the longest in my opinion is for our elected leaders and politicians to have a white minority. After reading disposable people I learned in a country like Mauritania in Africa. White Moors are dominant culturally and politically even if there are less of them. No matter what happens it seems to be inbred in our culture that white people are dominant in politics. 43 of our 44 presidents have been rich white men and I think it will take a very long time for that to switch entirely. It got me thinking of this has happened in any other country. Well it technically happened in the US hundreds of years ago. The US was all Native Americans and white people immigrated and eventually totally took over and not Native Americans are the extreme minorities. Although white people used violence to invade which I do not see happening in today’s society. I think at one point there may be more minorities than white people in the United States but politics will keep them from fully integrating. As long as the white people are “the king of the hill” they will do all they can to keep their power. Even if it comes down to the fact that white people are the largest minority in the US somehow they will do all they can to keep their power. So I think there may be a point where whites are the minority but it will take longer for them to lose their power and the minorities to take power. I think this effect is evident with most past cultures as well. I think it is good for us as a nation to be cultural diverse. Wed, 31 Mar 2010 16:16:37 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/the-white-minorities__trashed/#IDComment65031652 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-to-do-about-white-guilt__trashed/#IDComment63867634 I know a lot of history that is written by white people portrays the actions of white people negatively. However there are parts that are left out. For example the “scramble for Africa”. Where European settlers divided up Africa into different colonies and economically exploited them. They taxed the Africans forcing them to produce goods like cotton and coco that had no use for them and only benefited the Europeans. Doing this to the Africans deeply inhibited their progress to produce domestic goods and the effects of this are still seen today. I would argue a lot of Africa’s problems today were caused by European settlers coming in and totally exploiting them and putting them on the low end of a global economy they wanted no part of. The sad part is all through high school I never learned this in one of my history classes it was not until my sophomore in college I learned about this horrible tragedy. Wed, 24 Mar 2010 16:02:53 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-to-do-about-white-guilt__trashed/#IDComment63867634 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment63867081 I think this is a great question. When I was sitting in class I noticed a stand still silence whenever something rude was said when people of color texted something rude. I would go as far as saying I could feel the tension in the room when something rude was said. It was totally silent but I could feel people thinking whether or not they should react, and most people decided not to react, which seems like a normal reaction. For me white guilt stepped in huge at this point. A lot of people felt that well we have treated black people awful for the greater part of the last 300 years so we really have no room to complain about some rude texts that they said about us. A lot like the Eddie Griffin standup. A lot of people see that and think they cannot view it as offensive.

I totally agree with this and it is unfortunate. However I think this could be looked at as a great opportunity as well. If you are the only black person in a group of all ignorant white people maybe you can shift their opinions of black people to a positive way. However it is a great responsibility that is unasked for. It’s like if someone is really great at a sport and they instantly become a role model for all children who admire their skills but maybe they were not ready for the limelight, they just wanted to play their sport. Some non white people just want to be in a classroom and participate without constantly being judged as the black guy/girl. However I bet some black people enjoy that responsibility and take it upon themselves to make sure they give off a good impression. To me I think it would be tough to always bear that responsibly which is why I am not surprised minorities tend to hang out with others of their own race because it may be nice to be viewed as an individual rather than a race sometimes. In the “pre-awaking stage” I never realized that I am always viewed as an individual as a white person. When I am in a situation where I am the only white person I feel a little bit more reserved because I know everything that I do or say could represent my race as a whole which is a role I am not use to having. When I think of black or brown people having this weight on their shoulders always I do not know how they do it. I think if I was the only white person at first I would feel shy and timid as I do now, but over time if I was accepted I would feel ok to totally be myself. I can see now that is how some minorities can feel always. They may feel like they have never been accepted and feel more shy and timid around white people, then act totally themselves around people of their own race. We talked about the ultimate goal and no one really knows what it is. But for me a great goal would for people of all races to feel comfortable to act themselves at all times. This is a privilege that I have that I have taken for granted and I think sometimes you need to be a minority to fully understand it.

Wouldn’t it be great to be able to talk about these things in normal life? People who attend things meanings are usually open minded and looking to help and make solutions however the real world is not like this. The whole world should be a race relations group and if you seem racial injustice it should be pointed out the way you would help out a person if they were being physically attacked on the street. It is your business even if it is not because everyone is equal. It may seem like a long shot to have the world as a large relations group but in reality is that not the eventual goal? I feel it is the eventual goal and if it is not the goal than it should be.

Is it possible that thousands of years from now a physical difference in race will be harder to detect because people will be less susceptible to only reproducing with their own race. Or is reproducing with your own race something traditional that will stick around forever? I think we are already seeing a trend towards more interracial couples. I think the main thing inhibiting interracial couples is the portion of society that views interracial couple’s negativity. Some people feel that this negative connotation is enough to not peruse a relationship. I think as generation’s progress it will be viewed more and more normal and will be more common. Eventually we will all have mixed races from all parts of the world then it will be really hard to discriminate because you could be discriminating yourself. However people will always find a way to discriminate. Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:37:29 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-happens-to-multiracial-people__trashed/#IDComment62804202 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment62803653 The idea of anonymous text messaging your responses in front of the class is a great idea. I think that in a class of 700 plus people it is hard to speak your mind in front of everyone. Large groups tend to mute people and I think if this was even a 30 person class you would get a lot more honest opinions from everyone. You can see a lot of the text messages that go up on the board are things that people would never say in front of the class with a face attached. Although some texts are sent to stir up a reaction I feel the honesty in these texts is more so then if someone raised their hand and spoke. It is like a teacher evaluation, you feel free to put down any thoughts you want because no one will know what you say so why not speak the truth. When this technique is used correctly I feel it is a very powerful tool. It is something that could be utilized in a racial discussion group maybe with more mature people trying to make some serious progress. Aside from that I really feel the most honest answers will come from anonymous text messages but in reality I wish that was not the case. I wish all people, including myself, had the confidence to say what they felt without any fear in being ridiculed. I think if people were more comfortable with themselves in racial situations then they would have nothing to fear and would speak their mind but a lot of people are inexperienced so they are afraid to speak. There are many people who are not racist at all and have great ideas but are afraid to speak as well which is the worst case scenario. When it comes to race issues a big thing I encounter is that there are a few trigger words that deem you a racist. No matter what the context is or your history with respecting people of color if you use certain words you are racist. Many people do not know what all these words and have seen people in public eye have their careers ruined by saying the wrong thing. Being called a racist is a huge deal and to be viewed as a person who thinks that one race is biologically superior to another is something that no one would ever want. I myself have luckily never had a bad racial experience but I think this is because I have never put myself in a situation to have a good or bad experience. I myself feel I view all people the same but feel trapped by the fear of offending people. Thu, 18 Mar 2010 17:33:05 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment62803653 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/are-whites-the-only-people-willing-to-humiliate-themselves__trashed/#IDComment61545658 I think this answer is pretty simple. The largest demographic of people that watch the bachelor is white people, predominantly white females. There are shows with all black people because the main audience they try to appeal to is black people. I think if the bachelor had all black people unfortunately white people would not be as tuned in to watch because they can not relate. If black viewership on the bachelor or minority viewership of the bachelor went up I definitely think you would be more minorities in the show. That is the way television works. Sports is a different situation where predominantly white males watch the NFL but most the NFL is African American. I think in this situation fans just want to see the best players. Fans also want whatever will help their team win and if that means all the players are black people are definitely fine with that. Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:10:23 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/are-whites-the-only-people-willing-to-humiliate-themselves__trashed/#IDComment61545658 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/02/question-on-discrimination__trashed/#IDComment61544751 I think it depends on the situation. I know the company my brother works for he is the only white person who works there. They said they hired him to be a liaison between them and other white business owners because they felt white business owners felt uncomfortable or less accepting when talking to black people. He was even informed to pretend that his boss is his client and that he is the boss when addressing other businesses. Since his hire sales have gone up especially with other white businesses. I found this to be very interesting and somewhat not shocking actually. In my eyes I am not surprised that a white business owner would be more accepting of a white person than a black person trying to sell them something. Unfortunately that is just the way it is. It is very deep rooted in our society and we take very unusual approaches for a quick fix in this department. Thu, 11 Mar 2010 23:05:02 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/02/question-on-discrimination__trashed/#IDComment61544751 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/02/why-is-this-racist-really__trashed/#IDComment61543344 I think the all white basketball league may appeal to an older generation. Older people are used to watching all white players play and a lot of them lost interest when African Americans took over the nba. I do not think African Americans are inherently better than white Americans. All the great African American basketball players today have been playing basketball, whether it is in the slums or in a nice neighborhood, all day and every single day. Players like lebron james and dyawne wade say they would wake up every day go to the park and play basketball all day. I think the few great white American basketball players achieved there success this way as well. There are a lot of white European basketball players joining the nba because there is a strong interest and they have been playing their entire life. The interest in basketball for white Americans seems to be there but only few end up having the work ethic to succeed at the next level. I think there are more African Americans because more of them had a strong work ethic and kept practicing and got to the next level. Also the national basketball association is mainly based on strength, speed, and athleticism. The college game is more fundamental and strategy based. That is why I think more white and black players that are not physically dominant can excel at the college level. In college you need to have a good head on your shoulders listen to your coach and be unselfish to win. In the nba it seems one giant physical player can carry a team. The best white players should play in the nba because they deserve it. I know this league would never happen but if it did no great white player would ever want to play in it. You put out the best 5 people no matter what race they are. I just think that the interest for basketball is much higher for African Americans so the amount of African Americans who succeed to the next level is going to be much higher than white Americans. Same thing happens with baseball. The interest in baseball is much higher in Latin American and as you see most the Major League Baseball rosters have lots of players from Latin American. It is funny however that all the best white European basketball players play in the National Basketball Association and all the best white American players play in the European basketball league. I can not think of another sport where that is the case. Most of the all time college greats can now be found playing for a random team in the European basketball league. Thu, 11 Mar 2010 22:57:03 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/02/why-is-this-racist-really__trashed/#IDComment61543344 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/02/native-americans-question-three__trashed/#IDComment58560397 I think most people ultimately really only worry about themselves. It is not a bad thing but human nature. Also hearing about it strikes home for some people to a certain degree, but if you actually lived next to a Native American tribe, talked to a Native American, or were transferred back in time and saw it it would strike home to a much larger degree. An example I use is cancer. Everyone knows cancer is awful and destroys the lives of all different types of people. However no textbook in the world can explain the horrors of cancer until it claims the life of someone very close to you. This is the same way. We feel so disconnected from this genocide. Many people in the United States today feel they have no connection to this genocide or slavery because they themselves did not commit it. Also with no few Native Americans alive today with so few rights and such large cultural barriers we realize this problem is almost unfixable. A counterpoint to this would be slavery in the American South in the 1860s. Slavery was so imbedded in American culture and the American economy equality of African Americans seemed almost as impossible as native Americans regaining all rights today. However, selfless people and strong voices from the African-American population helped turn around a hopeless cause. I really think although I wish it could happen Native Americans will eventually die out and we will forget about them, because a solution to this problem seems so extreme and unachievable. However blacks in the 1860s problem felt the same way about slavery and we have made leaps and bounds since then. I think even if this problem hit home to someone the best thing they could really do about it is acknowledge it and tell others about it at this point. The fact that the United States does not acknowledge this genocide prevents anything being done about it. It is like any problem the first step is admit you have a problem. I feel I have done my part in acknowledging this genocide and spreading the word to friends and family. However most of us have never even interacted with a Native American. Some have never even seen one. This genocide could seem like a story to some because we are so disconnected with it. So the first step is Sam telling us about it. The next step is acknowledging the problem. And if word of mouth does not do it for you, visiting a Native American tribe or seeing the discrimination is probably what most people need. I know for me reading something in a textbook and experiencing it are two completely different things.
