If you mean do I ever feel like I should be awesome because all men should be awesome than yes, I do feel the need to conform. But the awesome thing about awesomeness is that I can be awesome no matter what I do as long as it is awesome, which it is. If I want to look good I just got to throw on my stunnas, my basketball jersey and my bball shorts. If I want to do something awesome I just got to drink my brains out. If I want to sleep somewhere awesome, I just choose the most awesome part of the floor. So in truth, the only pressure I feel, is the pressure to succeed. And the pressure to succeed means nothing because college is all that matters in life. So much sarcasm in this post I just needed to make that official. Sat, 17 Apr 2010 01:16:14 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/what-about-the-men__trashed/#IDComment68454586 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/christian-invaders-the-turnaround__trashed/#IDComment68454105 Hold up, I’m very confused by your comment because you talk as if Christians AREN’T trying to take over the world. As a enthusiastic Christian I am very proud to say I have one goal and one goal only, WORLD DOMINATION. When me and my friend Pinky go out on the weekends, we try and take over as much of the world as we can, so far we own/rent one apartment. So I’m not at all offended by what Sam says about us Christians, I’m not offended because it is very true. Just think back to everything that has ever happened in the United States of America. To start it off, all forty-five of our great Presidents are CHRISTIAN. Another prime example, MEL GIBSON, the greatest actor of all time, sorry Danny DeVito but he has you beat… well what I was saying is that he supported the Christian movement out and public and millions of people joined the forces because of him. Yea that was all a plan that a willing follower was willing to put into action. It’s just that as Christians there is nothing more that we could want than to own all the land in all seven continents and even the one continent on Mars. That’s right, Mars is ours. So right now I feel it is my duty to inform everyone blogging on this site that you mine as well convert now or we are going to send little alien dinosaurs after you until you do convert. That’s right, we found an alien species on Mars and they resemble Velociraptors. FUCKING VELOCIRAPTORS. SHIT JUST GOT REAL UP IN HERE. Have you ever seen the movie Pulp Fiction? Remember how bad ass you thought Samuel L. Jackson was in that movie, now think back to the last time you watched Jurassic Park. Samuel L. Jackson gets EATTEN by a velociraptor. A FUCKING VELOCIRAPTOR ATE HIM. Now how do you think you, the little college students sitting in Soc 119 stand a chance against Christian Invaders who are in the procession of somewhere in the vicinity of 20-25 alien velociraptors? Honestly give up, all hope is lost for those of non-christian religion. So do I have your attention now, alright so if you want to save yourself, go to the Willard Building and listen to the preachers, ask them about the Mars velociraptors and they can tell you everything you need to know. So if you saw this class lecture and weren’t convinced that our 1.4 billion dollar army can’t do damage to you, than you’re so wrong. You clearly weren’t listening closely enough to understand we have are in the procession of the United States Forces and alien species. So please keep this in mind the next time you decide that we aren’t a real threat. Spaceman out.

At first it seems like this product should definitely be banned but the British couple makes a good point. In the privacy of a home why does it matter what a person is doing. As long as the game is not affecting another person in a detrimental way, than let it keep going on. As to the question posed by Sam about if I would sit back with a couple friends, drink some beers and play this game. Under that situation, I would definitely not play this game with my friends. We may play it just to laugh our asses off at how crazy and dumb the idea of this game is. That would be the equivalent of watching porn with my friends, and if you’ve ever done that, you know how awkward that is. So I think the only way I would play this game is in the privacy of my own home when no one else is there, if you know what I’m saying.

Secondly, I never stated what my opinion is, that being that no matter what how much we are told, there is a very slim chance we as individuals will ever do anything about it. And judging by a lot of people's replies, many people have questioned the same thing I asked but I was the first one to ask it out loud. Fri, 9 Apr 2010 20:55:33 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66872301 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66868636 I appreciated that comment up until Jersey Shore but either way thanks. And yes that was me with that comment, I only wish more people would understand my sarcastic sense of humor. Fri, 9 Apr 2010 20:32:35 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66868636 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66867716 Thanks bro but maybe you shouldn't sit next to a kid in a Red Sonics Shawn Kemp Jersey, thats just asking for it. Fri, 9 Apr 2010 20:26:19 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66867716 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66831558 First off lets get this off the table, Red Shawn Kemp Jersey? Awesome. Secondly, I know this man, he is the biggest bullshitting human being I know. He sits in class everyday and does crosswords and laughs a lot because he has a shitty personality. Any body that doesn’t take sociology is a dick head. I just hope one day he grows up. This kid should really grow up and learn to respect his elders/teachers/professors/cantankerous mother of a whore. He really probably shouldn’t show up to class only to multitask by listening to Sam and doing other work and being the jackass that he is. Really by using his natural talents of being able to listen to someone and do a crossword at the same, he is really just being a dick. I mean I wish I had the ability to listen to a person and absorb all their words while doing another objective. But this kid is a dick for taking advantage of that beautiful ability that he possesses. On to the real question though, have I really changed my opinion based on anything Sam has said? Clearly not. Why is this so obvious? Its obvious because if you have read anything I have said before this, I am clearly the bullshitter that sits a few rows in front of you. And I can understand how you would think that because I spend time enjoying myself but than again maybe I should straighten up my act. Because you know if I don’t fully comprehend the repeated lectures from sociology, I’m definitely going to be a failure at life. Maybe this is why I don’t really change my opinion from this class, because I don’t take life serious enough. Clearly I need to straighten out my priorities and stop being so care free. So I’d like you to tell me, have you ever gone to a class and tried to be who you are outside of class. Because I think you’ll come to learn that when you stop caring so much about class that you can be more care free, than life just makes sense to you. I think some people like you need to stop taking life so serious because the whole reason you live is to enjoy yourself. There is so much more you can do to enjoy your life if you just try, and I don’t mean enjoy life in a, well I go on all these crazy vacations, or I have a high paying job. I mean enjoy your life as in when you go out everyday, even if it means just to go to sociology, you make the most out of it. May god have mercy on your soul. Fri, 9 Apr 2010 16:52:09 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/04/i-really-want-to-know-also__trashed/#IDComment66831558 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/nothing-about-the-census-is-easy__trashed/#IDComment65670920 It is a census, not a test that will or will not get you your dream job. It is not going to make or not make you a lawyer, doctor or dog breeder. This is not anything that matters. Sure this census is going to account for your race and all that crap that people believe that matters but really does not. Do people have nothing dumber to worry about than if their race gets accounted for in the U.S. census? Honestly look at your life, as of now we are all specks of dust that matter in no bigger picture of life, we are literally worthless in the eyes of the greater one, and some people honestly have time to bitch about the census? Go and be someone better, get over this whole race issue and start worrying about yourself and what you need to do in order to be remembered for centuries to come. Honestly, to me if I rather be one of the people who is talked about in history classes 500 years from now, not the group of people who are talked about for the next month because we refuse to accept the census. So please people for the sake of your own life can you please stop bitching about how the census is insensitive and just go out and try to do something for yourself. I feel bad for the large group of people who do not understand that there are more important things in life. I want people to see that this census is nothing and in the long run of things is very unimportant. Actually I don’t even feel bad for all you because you are just uneducated. This census is a joke and you need to look past it and get on with your life. On to the topic of how this census is offensive and confusing. Well that is just bullshit, just use the 10% of your brain that God allows us to use and fill it out to the best of your knowledge. And, AND if you can not even manage this meager task, than do the simple thing, pick up your phone, dial the number of your house/mom/dad/other direct family member and ask them, yes, ask them what they put down in the race category. I know this sounds very complicated but once you do it, you may have a better understanding of what to put down. If you cannot even manage this though, than check off OTHER and fill in something crazy, nuts or funny. An example this would be to check other and fill in something like goldfish or doorknob. NOBODY ACTUALLY CARES ABOUT THESE RESULTS. Good day.

No I don’t. No man wants to hear about this crap bleeding shit, and I would know because I’m a man. Can we just give up on all this because no matter what we will never accept the whole period conversation. Not everyone. It’s gross and nobody wants to discuss it in class. Yes this is the third time I’m commenting on a period blog but I really want to get my point across that no one wants to discuss this. Sure theres some people out there that are willing to have a serious conversation about it but there is a very high chance they are all woman and a few creeper men who get off thinking about blood in a toilet that just came out of a toilet. Its unnecessary and we should continue living our male dominated lives because men are the shit. Thank you.

I love being infertile. 2. Well that’s about it. Having your period is cool, but keep it to yourself. Its actually not cool, I’d be happy having no knowledge about a woman’s period. I was just wondering if a woman wants to know about every time a man gets a unnecessary boner. I’ve gotten a boner in the most random of places in my life, the bank, waiting in line for water ice, chances are I’ve gotten a boner while sitting next to you in class and yes I did readjust it and put it up in my waistband. How uncomfortable are you right now as you think about all the guys that readjust their boners while sitting next to you in class. Don’t worry though; I probably didn’t get the boner thinking about you. I was probably thinking about ice cream and just got a huge hard on. Point proven. Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:39:12 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/whats-the-big-deal-with-periods__trashed/#IDComment64224303 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/if-men-could-menstruate__trashed/#IDComment64223662 I’m going to open with a little quote from my favorite person of all time, me. “I love to grab my ball sack in public and play with the pair of them in front of everyone.” How many “woman” just cringed at the thought of men touching their balls in public? Because that’s how I feel every time a “woman” talks about her period in public. So how about we shut up about all this bullshit, “Ohhhh, men should talk about periods because its something we woman have to go though.” Well grabbing my balls and readjusting them are something we men all have to do. So why can’t we talk about that? Well I am going to talk about that. I will now explain in detail why we readjust our balls in public. For those woman who have not seen a penis, out of personal choice or out of a man’s choice, a ball sack is the sack that holds my testicles and hangs from the shaft of my penis. Grossed out yet? Well I’m going to keep going on with this. When I sit in class, especially on a hot sweaty summer day, my ball sack, like every other man’s ball sack, gets sticky. It than proceeds to stick to the sides of my legs. At this point in time I am very uncomfortable. Probably the equivalent of how uncomfortable you are while jamming a tampon up your cooter. Uncomfortable with this yet? Not me, so lets continue. JUGULAR KILL!!!!!!! So at this point in time, while my ball sack is all sticky, I shove my hands down my pants and rip my testicles off my legs. I readjust them and make sure I am fully comfortable. I want maximum comfort if I’m going to sit in class with hundreds of women that want to talk about their periods with all us. Now onto the topic of free tampons if men needed them. HOW DUMB ARE YOU? There is obviously a reason why this is a male dominated world, because as males we were smart enough to realize that the more demand we can jack the price up even more. I can figure this out and I’m not even that smart. I’m as smart as the stereotypical asshole. I went to West Virginia for the first year of my education. I had to drop out of West Virginia. THINK ABOUT THAT. I went to a school that only rejects people who havn’t graduated middle school, and I had to drop out. I’m really dumb. But you and the rest of women-kind are even dumber. That question of free tampons was so dumb that Obama is considering taking back woman’s rights. Fri, 26 Mar 2010 17:33:16 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/if-men-could-menstruate__trashed/#IDComment64223662 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment63023902 This is a good point and I think we all know the answer to this. Rudeness does go both ways but no one will ever say anything to a person of color because that would be considered more rude. So basically racism is running our race issues talks and that’s just fantastic but I don’t really care about being rude to people so I would just go right ahead and say whatever the hell I want. This whole race conversation issue is starting to get really out of hand because theres only so much you can talk about until you have completely killed the topic which is what I think we have done with this class and all the race relations meetings. So can we settle this now and say the race conversation will never work and just start talking about something important. March Madness. I gotta go because the games are on and my 14 seed upset is about to happen. Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:43:30 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/does-this-rudeness-thing-cut-both-ways__trashed/#IDComment63023902 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-to-do-about-white-guilt__trashed/#IDComment63023101 We could just quit making excuses about how this is white peoples fault for any sort of racist acts that ever happen. Maybe if we just accept history for how it happened than we can just move on and become better people because to be honest, in my 20 years of life I have never once felt guilty about anything that happened in the past due to the fact its not my fault. I did shit so stop blaming me, sure my ancestors may have been “bad” people but they also may have been “good people”. So lets back off this topic of white guilt and move onto more recent happenings, things such as people who are still to this day participating in racist acts. Don’t worry good people of today who do not ever go and do stupid racist shit that gets blamed on a whole race of white people. Fri, 19 Mar 2010 19:37:13 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/what-to-do-about-white-guilt__trashed/#IDComment63023101 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/women-and-sports__trashed/#IDComment63022429 Is a woman as a head football coach impossible? Clearly not as this video clearly points out. But can a woman as a head football coach work out? Of course it can, if she is the head football coach of a woman’s powder puff team. Now all the woman that read this(none) are going to be up in arms about what I just said but have any of these woman ever played the sport of football? Now you can argue, well I use to kick for my football team. Hate the break the news to the entire population of woman in the world, kicker is the most pathetic position in today’s greatest game in the United States. Nobody has any respect for the kicker, so how would a woman think she is making a difference in getting woman in men’s sports by becoming a kicker? A male kicker in football is equivalent to a girl who gets does not own a pair of Uggs. A woman who does not own a pair of Uggs is looked down upon as pathetic and poor by girls a.k.a. the kicker who is looked down upon as pathetic and poor by men. But men love a woman who does not own a pair of Uggs because it shows she is not a sorostitute. Basically what I’m saying is anyone who thinks that a woman who is a kicker is making progress in getting woman into men sports, you sir are an idiot. A woman coach is the same way. I would love if someone could explain to me how a woman will gain respect from 14-18 year old high school males who don’t have respect for any other woman/girl they have ever met. Well that is if they are normal and not little sissies who think respecting woman makes any sense. Woman will never make it in mens sports simply because it is for MEN, not woman who have never really played the game with males. No woman can physically match up with a man so can we please make it simple and just admit that this is a stupid idea and also look at this woman and see that she won’t be a coach within the next 3 years. Woman and woman activists really just don’t get it. Its not going to ever happen unless that woman has or has had a penis at one time or another in her life. If she never had a penis than she will not be able to ever compete and therefore be respected by her fellow teammates or her team in the case of this high school football coach. Thank you for listening to me ramble on and on.

I read it and hear a story about how this object was put into a museum and all of a sudden these African Jews are claiming that it’s theirs and that it has been for thousands of years. This is also the first time that anyone has heard of these African Jews and apparently they have been in Africa growing to a tribe the size of 80000 people for the last 2500 years. Now how has no one ever before seen all these Africans walking around with skull caps on and putting stars of David on their tombstones. I would think things like these in the middle of an all black population of Africa would have stood out pretty damn well. So to me I just see this as a pretty big scam even with the “science” behind it. Cause I’m also pretty damn interested in how they find DNA of any Jews who lived thousands of years ago.

The country where people come to get away from everything. The country where people are suppose to be given all their full rights since 1776 and here in the year 2010 and people are still taking rights away from people of all ages, even teenagers. But its not my concern because this took place in the state of Mississippi or some southern state in that area. I live in Pennsylvania as a straight man where no gay rights have any effect on me because they impact my life zero. Hard to believe right? Somebody who was just in disbelief at how there are still places in the country against gay rights is now talking about how he honestly does not give a rats ass about all these rights because they do not concern me. Fri, 12 Mar 2010 15:20:40 +0000 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/03/prom-or-no-prom-just-dont-let-the-queer-students-dance-together__trashed/#IDComment61695098 https://www.racerelationsproject.org/2010/02/why-is-this-racist-really__trashed/#IDComment61692382 Why is it considered racist that someone would like to start a basketball league where it only features white American men playing? Everyone knows that the white American man playing in the NBA is a dying breed. So is it so bad that somebody would like to keep these players around for the future generations of all white American men? I challenge anyone to name five white American men who have secure starting positions on their respective teams. You can’t because there are not five white American men who start for their respective teams. There are not five white American men simply because white American men are not good enough to play basketball with the rest of the world anymore. Be it athletic skill or just the will for white Americans to put their sons in a sport that will get them nowhere. Maybe you could say the typical white American man has more money than a man of color or foreigner and for this reason they find less motivation in trying to become a real basketball player and not just a day to day player. Is that racist to believe that white American men can’t compete with the rest of the players in the NBA? Because if it is than I guess you could consider me racist. Hating on men of my own color, guilty as charged. Some people can be ridiculous. To actually believe that people would join this league, let me restate that, to actually believe skilled white American men basketball players would join a league like this is just flat out dumb. This league would have no money from the beginning and wouldn’t be able to afford the “best” which is to say average basketball players. The league from the beginning would start off as a “retirement” league for old white American piece of shit players. That and the young gun white American men who couldn’t make it big in the National Basketball League. And than to think that people would actually pay to see this shit show called basketball… hahaha… nobody even pays to watch NBA games anymore. Hardly anyone even watches NBA on TV so if you honestly consider somebody literally creating a basketball league for only white American men, than you need to start thinking like a normal person would and stop considering that as a possibility. So what is the deal with white American men playing basketball? Can anybody give me a real reason for why they suck so badly. Is it just them being stuck in a league that doesn’t want to see the white American playing anymore because how it is possible that at one point some of the greats were white Americans is beyond me.

Shit happens. She wasn’t an American citizen? Omg! Well they wanted to deport her because she was gay. Or maybe it was because she wasn’t an American citizen. It happens to tons of people regardless of their sexual orientation. The government tears families apart all the time. This is just dumb. I’m tired of hearing these crap stories. I don’t need all these people trying to get sympathy from me because sympathy is for the pathetic. Can we all please stop crying over other people’s problems and start dealing with our own problems?

I don’t care if it’s not a choice according to most people. Plenty of people do things without thinking and plenty of it is looked down upon. Why do people just have to question why people don’t support it? I have always thought that gay marriage was wrong and I may not have any reason behind it but can people give me a legit reason as to why I should support it? Nobody has yet so I will keep going on not supporting gay marriage and I will continue to live my life without caring!
