I thought it was the cutest thing to see what this little boy was saying. They were completely adorable. It's just so sad to know that it couldn't work out between them because of where they were born. Skin color or race or ethnicity or any of that shouldn't matter at all. It's just sad that we are separated because of something that shouldn't matter at all. Personally, i believe that there are many different people that we are compatible with, but I am sure that there is someone who is very compatible to every person. Maybe the most compatible. And if things like race and ethnicity and where you are from holds people back from finding that person, then how could be know for sure that we are with the right person? I mean yeah, obviously we can't meet every single person in the world, but it's nice to see that besides all the restrictions those two little kids still considered each other best friends. Then to see this man give his kidney to a woman just because she is a nice person? It is just so kind of him to do that for her. It really goes to show that personality should be/ is the most important aspect in deciding how you feel about a person, or your prejudices. It's obviously okay to have a prejudice against a person if its strictly about their personality, but it shouldn't have anything to do with where they were born or anything of the sort. I just never could understand it, and still have yet to. The very end of that little kid video was so powerful. To say "Our kids are colorblind, shouldn't we keep them that way?" is just like the most beautiful thing I have seen in a while. It is so true, and we definitely should. I wish more people felt that way and didn't think about these things. If everyone who had children preached to their children to be "colorblind" then maybe we could change the world. I don't know what its going to take, but it will take something of that sort. Kids like that are the ones who prove that all this hatred is just something that has come from social standards. It is not inherently built in us. We wouldn't feel this way if it wasn't for generations behind us. So why do we still follow it? Why don't we cut the damn strings and ignore our prejudices? I hope someday people realize this, and that we actually do.

I mean, damn, I wish car insurance could just be given to me. Oh and life/home insurance... that'd be nice. So everyone can just have equal rights to everything regardless of how they worked in their life, or what roads they took to be successful. Maybe college should be free too, because everyone deserves an education. You know.. everyone deserves food, so why don't we make that free too. We should just be offered all these things because we deserve them. So lets just completely socialize our country. And we can work, and just not make any money, because all of it can go to these things that we deserve because of our basic human rights. I probably shouldn't even post on this because I obviously don't agree with this stuff to begin with. I mean, yeah in a perfect world everyone would get everything they need just because they are citizens or human or whatever. But our worlds' not perfect. We live in society based upon money, as annoying as it is. Combining these two issues is just way too complicated because neither of them have a perfect solution.

Like South Park makes fun of EVERYTHING. I can't even count how many times that show has made fun of Jewish people and definitely Jesus and Christian people. No one actually takes it seriously or gets angry enough about it to threaten.. like honestly, they are words. I just am completely astounded by this. Plus, why did the creators of South Park listen and bleep out the words and references to Muhammad? I mean yeah it might be scary to get threatened, but who gives a shit. It should be a free world when it comes to opinions and words. It's just so frustrating. Fri, 23 Apr 2010 22:44:27 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/south-park-off-the-hook__trashed/#IDComment70013924 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/what-about-people-who-can-only-afford-hard-work__trashed/#IDComment70012944 I agree with this comment. Everything that Sam showed us yesterday really just made me open my eyes to the reality of the situation. I never really had an opinion about illegal immigration, but now I really do. I obviously understand that we can't just open the door to everyone because it would probably flood the economy, but I agree that we should leave the situation in the hands of people who understand and work the system. I hardly even understand the economy enough to have an overwhelming opinion on the matter, but it's terrible to see that we continue to push these people away who can't afford to come into the country. I mean i've been paying taxes, as well as my parents, my whole life. But I didn't have to pay to come live in America because I was just born here. They have to do all these crazy things to live in America, and even take tests that half of Americans would fail. It's just ridiculous. Honestly, immigrants that actually go through this process have more of a right to call themselves Americans then I think I do, after they learn all these things. And it made so much sense when Sam made the point that the vast majority of Americans won't work on farms, etc, because it's like too low class or some bull shit. And then they complain about not being employed and just claim a check every month of unemployment if they qualify. Which, honestly, most of the time people do. My sister is 24 and has a restaurant job, and ALSO collects unemployment. And she doesn't need it/ deserve it more than these people who are dirt poor. I don't remember ever having to cross a border or travel on a ship for months to come to America, and be denied, or even have to worry about that. My parents didn't either. So why should I be able to live here, and not them? If they are willing to work and help our economy prosper, then what is the big deal? And yes, obviously not every single immigrant is going to be coming here for honest reasons, or even to work. I am sure many come to sell drugs to idiotic Americans that will buy them. And yeah, that sucks because then we have to deal with spending money on jailing them. But in general, it just shouldn't be decided by a voting system, or the general public. Because I know that I don't know much about it, and I am sure many Americans just have opinions based upon nothing.

We went to Afghanistan in 2001 to avenge 9/11. We went to Iraq in 2003 because of the threat of weapons of mass destruction. Plus, if it still had to do with terrorism and to avenge 9/11, then why are we in Iraq? We are trying to stabilize their government, which isn't our business, or job. 9/11 was 9 years ago, we've been in Iraq for 7 years. Picking sides doesn't do anything but worsen the fight and the problem. Yeah, we need to target the radicals, and focus ONLY on that. And that is clearly not what we are doing. Sat, 17 Apr 2010 15:47:20 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/christian-invaders-the-turnaround__trashed/#IDComment68546128 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/creating-terrorists__trashed/#IDComment68428203 I understand why they do it. I can't agree with them though. I am strictly against the death penalty, just because I do not believe that any human has the right to take the life of another human, and not based on any religion, just my morals. If someone killed my family, I would not want them to die. As terrible as that would be, and as much as that would completely ruin my life, I would not allow myself to change my morals because of this. Maybe it would be different if it actually happened to me, but filling your body with hatred and vengeance doesn't bring your family back. Obviously, in this case it is different, because they take their own lives as well, not living with the pain of hatred. Murder is murder to me. No matter what the circumstances are, it is still murder. I don't agree with war. You can't solve problems with violence, it just doesn't work that way. We have learned that from the time we were children. But somehow, it is okay if its during war. And it is okay to murder 29 civilians if we can get one bad guy. No, it's not. Everyone was given a chance to live. They deserve it. Killing civilians? Who did nothing, and just have to die because they were born/live in a country that some religious radical lives? Like the atomic bombs we dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki; was this justified? Killing all those civilians? I just can't put my finger on it. Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:12:26 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/creating-terrorists__trashed/#IDComment68428203 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/christian-invaders-the-turnaround__trashed/#IDComment68426981 I have a lot of things to say about this video/class. The video was fantastic. It gave me chills. But the class was even better. I have been saying these things for years, and it is nice to finally have someone of any intelligence speak about it to a large group of people. Honestly from day one of the Iraq war, as young as I was, I knew it was bull shit. But I went along with it and tried to support our troops or whatever. Then when we continued to stay after Saddam Hussein was captured and killed, I couldn't support it any longer. We knew there weren't any weapons of mass destruction, and we wanted oil. Now its 2010, and we went to Iraq in 2003. OBVIOUSLY the people over there think that we are terrible people trying to convert their country and take their oil. Do we think they are really just ignorant idiots? Every country has their intelligence and I am sure they understand what is going on. Sam hit is straight on. If I lived over there and saw the things they probably see about the USA, I would be pissed. No, I wouldn't fight, because in general, I don't agree with war, no matter the circumstances. But I understand why they are trying to protect their country. Who the hell do we think we are? Our government has it's own problems and we live in a society based upon something that was written hundreds of years ago, and was meant to change. So why are we trying to inflict our problems and government on another country? We had the freedom of having a revolution and fixing our government to our own standards as a free country should be able to do. So why couldn't Iraq? Yeah, Hussein was possibly a threat, so we took him out and let the people do what they wanted with him. But after that, it's not our responsibility to tell them what government they should use. That's like what Communists did and Nazis. So if I lived there, I would think that possibly the USA is trying to expand itself. I mean, look at the ridiculous things people thought about all Muslims after 9/11. Just because a group of radical people did something terrible to our country, doesn't mean that all Muslim people are to blame. Look at the KKK. They killed hundreds of innocent people and claimed that their God agreed with them. And yeah, they didn't crash into buildings and kill thousands of innocent people, but I am sure that if they could have, they would. Their are crazy people in this world, all over the world. We should capture those radical people who did that to our country. That should be our ONLY focus if the USA gave a shit about their citizens and the families who lost loved ones that day. It's disgraceful that we are still monkeying around. Our world is going to run out of the supply of oil someday, so we need to stop going to war to get it, and instead think of new ways to create electricity. I know I am ranting, but the way our world has become is insane. Most of us are ridiculously ignorant, racist, prejudice, and just close-minded. People need to open their eyes and just shut the hell up about their radical ideals and crazy prejudices and political drama. Maybe it keeps them all living, but its aggravating. We all only have one life and I cannot understand why we waste it hating people and blaming people and complaining. I don't know how to change the world, but I wish everyone would try. Fri, 16 Apr 2010 21:01:38 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/christian-invaders-the-turnaround__trashed/#IDComment68426981 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/christian-invaders-the-turnaround__trashed/#IDComment68424667 Maybe you should actually think about what they claimed we went to Iraq for. I will quote George Bush for why we went to Iraq, "to disarm Iraq of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), to end Saddam Hussein's support for terrorism, and to free the Iraqi people." And yes, maybe now we are realizing that it was probably more about oil, but if you honestly believe that we went to Iraq in 2003 because of 9/11 then maybe you should do some research and stop speaking about things you clearly do not understand. We captured Saddam Hussein and he was killed, so now why are we still there? For oil. Plus, the KKK are Protestant which is a branch of Christianity, and lots of what they have done in the past is based off of their religion; so I'm pretty sure that radical beliefs can be dangerous in any way. And Sam was just trying to make us see what they think of us over there. He wasn't saying that the war actually is a Christian Invasion. He was trying to explain that Muslims that see those videos and hear those things probably think that is what the war is about. And if we were actually trying to avenge 9-11, our main focus would be on Al Qaeda. Just get your facts straight next time you have an opinion. It's frustrating. Fri, 16 Apr 2010 20:41:13 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/christian-invaders-the-turnaround__trashed/#IDComment68424667 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66856000 Soc 119 has been a great class and I think Sam is a very intelligent and good person. This question is just rude and ignorant. Then drop the class. The class has made me think. Thats all he wants to do. He doesn't want to change our opinions completely so we follow him like some sort of cult. He's made this completely clear and maybe if people listened. I'm sure he loves how pissed people get at the things he says, because we are at least thinking about it in some way, where as before we probably weren't. At least now we can have some sort of educated opinion, instead of just talk out of our asses about things we don't understand. I just think this question is arrogant. What makes your opinion on this class correct? Honestly.. who cares what you think about the class? Fri, 9 Apr 2010 19:08:03 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66856000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-about-multiracial-people__trashed/#IDComment65415956 Why do people have to affiliate with a color or even want to be affiliated with a color? Like i understand that it may be easier this way, but jesus, we are all people. It shouldn't be conflicting that you aren't affiliated with a color, i wish i could be in between so that i wasn't completely stereotyped as being white. And I'm sure so many people are saying, "oh its so easy for you to say that, you always had it so easy." Well, actually, yes, I personally have. But my family came here as Irish immigrants. So they didn't have it easy and came from absolutely nothing and busted there asses in school and became something. Just like I am going to do for them. But people always complain like oh I'm this color therefore its so much harder for me to do this. Well, oh I'm a human and not dead so it's so hard to live and so easy to complain so lets just do that our whole lives instead of just trying to make it easier on ourselves. Shit.

I think that Disney has a tendency to not only be racist, but be just outright offensive. They place things in their movies for adults to see that are completely inappropriate for children to view. I don't understand why they think this is funny. But I too think it is ridiculous that the first movie they made with a black person was in 2009. Like really? That is completely racist and crazy. They could have thought of that a long ass time ago. And now they think they are redeeming themselves? hell no. Disney just sucks. Fri, 2 Apr 2010 03:03:30 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/revisioning-the-revisioning-stage__trashed/#IDComment65413889 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/how-can-we-ever-win__trashed/#IDComment65412193 There obviously isn’t a win situation. It shouldn’t be about winning or losing here. People just need to understand that these things are issues and should be addressed. I feel like if anything this class has completely pissed people off, made them really emotional, or completely question their views or Sam’s. I think this was his point. Even if it makes people really mad to think about these things, or if people agree, or even get emotional, at least we are all thinking about the subject, and that is the point. He wants us to think and make our own decisions and argue with him and think about what he has to say. If you think about it that way it is really interesting. To be honest, I think it is as simple as saying, “lets open conversations about this”. It makes it so we all just speak. Like today, that guy was talking about how he should get the job his uncle gives to him because its his family. A lot of people thought this was complete bull shit, and im sure a lot of people agreed as well. It’s a part of life, and before we get to any conclusion about anything or make it a win lose type situation, we have to at least put it out there in the open and speak about it. Without speaking about it, how can anything get solved? And yes, I do believe that things could potentially get solved. But Sam is right in bringing up all these topics and making us uncomfortable and feeling out of our limits. Even though sometimes it makes us all want to just leave and hide away from the topic, we shouldn’t. The only way we can ever fix things is if we realize what is going on and change from it. We all have to understand how things are, and do our own part to change the world. It takes one person at a time to make a difference. Even though we all like to feel affiliated with a certain social group, or racial group, or whatever, we are all one as a people. We are all human beings. The day that people actually realize this will be a great day. Fri, 2 Apr 2010 02:57:19 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/how-can-we-ever-win__trashed/#IDComment65412193 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/in-her-own-words__trashed/#IDComment64267156 Yes, the class is a race relations class, but it's also a sociology class. Maybe it made you uncomfortable and unhappy, but that doesn't mean it made everyone unhappy. And yeah, Sam is a male, but what does his being a professor have to do with it...? And he's been married to a woman for years, who obviously shares everything about herself with him, he knows better than most men. He wasn't trying to solely talk about periods and woman. He was making a point about natural things in general, which is a topic in our class. Why should people be embarrassed to be who they are? And woman have menstrual cycles. We are different from one another, men and woman; just like white people are different from black people. Yet, we really all aren't much different at all. And that is the point. Next time maybe you should look outside of the box. Its about prejudice in general. Fri, 26 Mar 2010 23:20:14 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/in-her-own-words__trashed/#IDComment64267156 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-are-all-of-you-thinking-about-asians__trashed/#IDComment64265006 Personally, it is difficult for me to characterize an entire continent and say, oh they are Asian. Asia is HUGE. Especially to call people Asian Americans, because then they aren't even straight from Asia, if they were born in America. It's weird because you could classify so many people as being Asian, but when people in the United States think of an Asian person, you typically think of someone who is Chinese or Japanese, etc. It's stereotypical and stupid, but that is typically what it is for a lot of people. I honestly think that this topic should be brought up more. A lot of Asian Americans, who were born in America, are discriminated against just because they're Asian. For example, how a lot of people put standards on them like thinking they can't speak english well, or they can't drive. It's completely ridiculous. And obviously this is going to happen with any minority group. It makes the people who create these stereotypes completely ignorant and personally, its really annoying. Fri, 26 Mar 2010 23:05:59 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-are-all-of-you-thinking-about-asians__trashed/#IDComment64265006 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/flip-the-script-for-a-moment__trashed/#IDComment64190741 Personally, I ask myself these questions every single day. I feel like as time continues, our government keeps making irrational decisions and we just follow them. How could any society live in a world biased based upon skin color? It doesn’t make sense to me and it angers me because people just followed it. This has been the way it is for centuries. The government makes some stupid decision, that falls back on everyone regardless whether they agree or not, and we take the brink of it. I’m not saying that the government doesn’t make any good decisions, I know they do. Also, I know America is probably one of the safest countries to live in, etc. I feel like most people go through this cycle for the first 20-25 years of their lives, or maybe longer, where they just follow everything that is socially acceptable. Now, obviously people rebel many times too, but this is where they begin to realize that they shouldn’t have to follow everything the all powerful all mighty government says. But even so, we still continue to not break the rules, in fear of jail. Everything I am saying is obvious, and I’m probably just ranting, but it’s frustrating. Everyone in the country, especially those in power, claim that they know what is good for the people. Bull shit. How can they know what is good for the people when the people who supported slavery believed that they knew too? And yeah it was different times, whatever. It doesn’t matter; it never should have been the case that humans were worth any sort of profit and then forced into labor like animals. And if those people “knew” back then what was right for the country, and the majority followed, then how can we be for sure that it’s not happening today? Yes, more people stand up for what they believe in and fight back, but a lot of people watch the screen and whatever the politicians have to say, they just agree with, even though 80% of it is complete lies. You could be saying that slavery was much too long ago to compare it to today. Okay, well what about issues like segregation in the 1900’s? And I agree with the whole menstruation cycle deal. Why does it matter? It shouldn’t matter. It’s a part of living. Fri, 26 Mar 2010 12:29:30 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/flip-the-script-for-a-moment__trashed/#IDComment64190741 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/prom-or-no-prom-just-dont-let-the-queer-students-dance-together__trashed/#IDComment63037992 I don't understand how something like this is still occurring today. I can't say that I am completely surprised, but just annoyed. People should not be discriminated against no matter what or who they are. Honestly? We should put people in jail for discrimination, it is a lot worse for a society then smoking marijuana. It's so disgustingly ignorant. It's so unfair, because I am sure that more people are actually gay and cannot come out because they are afraid. My sisters thought I was a lesbian for a while and continually picked on me. I am not gay, but it shouldn't matter if I am. I am completely for human rights in general. People should be able to make their own decisions in all things that aren't detrimental to society. I'm positive that being gay isn't going to ruin society. Why do people make fun of gay people? Or discriminate against them? It's like being a man vs. being a woman. Like what the hell? Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:25:43 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/prom-or-no-prom-just-dont-let-the-queer-students-dance-together__trashed/#IDComment63037992 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment63036827 I completely understand this question, and as Sam always says, its probably because white people are always afraid to stick up for themselves (ourselves). Honestly, like Sam says, nothing is truly offensive unless you allow it to be offensive. But if I even classified myself at white, and followed along in that crowd, I would have been really offended. The thing is that Black and Brown people sometimes seem to think that basically anything a white person says that is rude is completely and totally outrageous and uncalled for and they speak up about it. But white people always feel scared and don't stick up for themselves in those situations because they don't want to cause a fight. It's all just ridiculous. I don't care what color of skin you are, or whatever; if you say something rude to someone, the other person should speak up if they feel it is necessary to, and not keep quiet because of fear. Honestly though, any person who spends actual time with another person that is not like them, they will come to respect that persons heritage/race/whatever as long as they like the person. Maybe more white people should hang out with black/brown people and the other way around. Maybe then people would realize that its all about personality and the individual. Honestly, everyone should be like embarrassed to claim themselves to specific categories. Don't you want to be your own person? Or do you want to be labeled as a color, like a crayon? Fri, 19 Mar 2010 21:16:08 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment63036827 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-to-do-about-white-guilt__trashed/#IDComment63035832 I remember growing up, never even thinking at all about wrongs of white people. I never really understood differences in race until about 5th grade. And before 5th grade, I was learning how the country was formed, and about the founding fathers and what not. We also learned about the Pilgrims and Indians, etc; but none of these things were negative or had me questioning my being white. I don’t even remember questioning being white until the middle of high school. But even though we learn about these things, and preach them, that doesn’t mean that we are living the right way. We grew up learning for years and years a bunch of false things. Yeah, we probably learned about things that are true as well, but we learned things that happened, but sometimes the opposite way. It’s like sickening to think about, and reminds me of Nazi Germany. Why do our public schools not want children and young adults to know the truth? This really doesn’t seem to make sense to me. Maybe if we did learn true things throughout school, we wouldn’t be exactly the way we are today. And this goes for every person in general. There has been discrimination, and wrong doings, in our country not only to black and brown people, but to any type of person who comes in from a different place. We treat them like aliens. If our schools taught us the true history of how people were treated, maybe everyone would feel terrible, and instead of only feelings guilt, actually change. I can say that I feel guilt sometimes when I see how things have become. I do feel bad for people, but I can’t blame the color of my skin on how people are treated. I live my life as an individual, and try as hard as I possibly can to erase any social standard that has been placed upon me. Even when people say I’m white. It’s not about skin color and it shouldn’t be. Just like any black, brown, yellow, white, green, whatever person in this soc 119 class, I was born into this world without a choice of where I might end up. How was I supposed to know that I would be born into a wealthy white family? The difference between me and lots of other people is that people would look at me, and probably not know that I come from a wealthy family. I don’t flaunt it, and I work my ass off in life to earn money and get good grades just like anyone else should. My parents are wealthy, but they were living in worse conditions then many people can imagine when they grew up. But they sucked it up and made something of themselves. Do I think people should change the way they teach their classes and teach the blunt truth? Yes. But I also think it is up to each and every individual to change the way things are. That is by putting aside their prejudices they pretend not to have, and realize that we are all one, together. We are in this life trying to survive each and every day. And we were born into our fates, not knowing where they would come from.

I haven't really thought of it this way. But maybe black people, or people of other cultures, aren't really making the decisions, as much as white people. This is completely ridiculous. It should be all about the resume. I think its crazy that we still live in a day where people are prejudice based on skin color. I just don't understand. Even if more white people are making decisions on who to hire, you would think more people would be like us, and understand these basic concepts. Are people really this immoral? Do they really think it is okay to justify not hiring someone because of skin tone? I just don't understand it. These things never should have came about. Its just frustrating. To answer the question though, I don't recall learning that black people were choosing white people. I feel that anyone in the position to choose a candidate for a job should look solely at the application. But it probably won't ever be this way; that is of course....... if we make a machine that basically looks only at the resume and compares the two, or hundreds, and picks the one that makes the most sense.

Like stated above, there are a lot of theme parties that have to do with holidays, and basically anything. And I feel like she is just stereotyping white people by saying that they are the only ones that have theme parties. I know many people of other cultures that enjoy having theme parties too. What about a jewish holiday theme party? Or an African cultured theme party that occurs amongst all black people (I have heard of parties like this). And yes, there are the wigger parties or whatever, but honestly thats just embarrassing for white people. But other then that I can't think of a party that is racist. What about pimps and hoes parties? That is completely sexist, not only geared toward black people. Also nerd parties, toga parties, etc. I just don't think she really thought this question through.
