Half Black, half white...maybe not even that, I don't know what her ancestors were, but for the sake of classifying she is usually referred to as Black. Which can be seen since you did it as well, thinking she was the same race as Shaq, while they are actually different. Good job.

Which I think would be a good solution to racism. We should all just mingle till we're all the same colour...

''Whos your daddy?'' ''Everybody!!'

well, imho racism doesnt really exist in the magnitude which many think. i think the new 'racism' as 'classism'. a rich black lawyer sees a white kid with a mullet living in a trailer park and calls him/her gutter trash. his rich white lawyer friend agrees and they laugh about it.

it seems more and more that wealth is the definative factor of who is of a "sub-race". who's life liberty and pursuit of happiness matters more or less than others. at least thats what i observe.

I didn't say they were the same race, I said there considered to be the same race, FYI I don't believe in race so what are you talking about.

Really? How would you know about racism or how much there is around.

You are white and you carry an enormous bag of privilage with you, just because your skin is light.

1 in 3 Black Americans live in poverty, as opposed to 1 in 10 of White Americans...
Of course there is racism. There is intense racism and hateret from both sides - black and white.

This guy is kind of arabic, isn't he? I'd say his eyes and nose might give it away. But anyways....could you try to start put forth some arguments instead of posting pictures of people ....it's very hard to actually say what race someone is nowadays....but that doesn't mean that it doesn't exist.

Then tell me the characteristics of race that make it obvious that you can identify them?

figures dont lie, but liars figure. know this before touting said statistics.
now take that equation and factor in the overwhelming majority of whites to blacks in americas population.

and no, i do not carry an enormous bag of privilege for being white, and quite frankly thats quite a racist thing to say (assuming that the standard of hypocricy of "generalising whites is ok, just dont generalise anyone else" didnt exist). i wont drone on about my life's story but ill just say that at 31 im still waiting for my "white society privilege club" check to arrive in the mail.

its more about money.

They don't all have to be different.

Wait, do you believe in races when it comes to animals for example? Dogs?

Only when you have a large number of people who are not well educated.

Racisim is not a huge deal to those who are knowledgeable and successful.

Well..in what races do you believe?

Originally posted by PVS
forgot to add: also factor in that the ratio of poor blacks to middle class up to waethy blacks is always improving.

Their are more poor white people in sheer numbers then blacks, since they are the majority in america.
