Shame, because it could be so much better.

On a personal level, meeting people on a one to one basis, it doesn't matter to me one iota what colour their skin is or what nationality they are. However, I would admit to being nervous to enter some of our inner city areas which have a predominantly immigrant population, especially Muslim. Maybe this is caused by the media portrayal of these areas, but I would not feel safe. However, I have on a personal level had friends of different nationalities, colours and religions and their background has never made any difference to me.

offtopic, anyways, that's what i'm always thinking before, lampstand, but you see its just now that it has been advertise on twitter, and even so, if you judge the look of the site, youll probably look for another where there are things you re looking for, but my reason is simple,
its basic... no stress like family.

To add to my previous post, I think that today's policitcal correctness attitude of always bending over backwards to as not to upset the 'minorities' actually fosters and encourages prejudice rather than eliminates it. The indigenious population start to feel resentful that their customs, traditions and religion are being marginalised in favour of those who have come into the country from elsewhere. The prime example that I can think of is Christmas being replaced by 'Winterval' so as not to upset the Islamic population, who themselves say they are not offended by Christmas. The Red Cross also banned any Christmas cards etc with a religious theme so as 'not to offend'. Offending the majority, IMO, causes far more problems than it solves.

Oh , what site would that be, I would be interested in taking a look at how things are done successfully... I am not a member of any Buddist sites as yet, are you referring to a Buddhist site ?

AMEN Lynwood, I couldn't put it better.

As I post here on this thread everyone is watching. And I want to save others.

Now the Lord knows my Heart so I can not Lie in witness testimony to others and to GOD himself.

I am not racist against Black people. . I had a best friend who was black named Tony..

But I would like to be honest to say I don’t like how a lot of blacks act and live.

I have Lived in white, Hispanic and black communities.
Once when I was growing up as a teen I and my friends rode our bikes to a Black neighborhood. . The black children ran after us throwing things. Good thing we were on bikes or we would have got beat up being outnumbered.

Only one black kid I knew wanted to fight me. I was at the skating rink. He was practicing his Karate Moves. My best friend at the time Alfredo told me what He saw. And I better ditch. So I skated behind the skating rink and other buildings skating my way home.. . Most fights I have been into are white people physically. . The Spanish in a lot of cases have treated me better than a lot of whites. . There are also a lot of Asians who have treated me well. And there are some white that treat me well.
When I lived on the street no black man ever helped me. Yet I have helped Black people in one occasion I let a black homeless guy stay the night at my apartment as he looked in bad shape.

Then where is the dispute?. . Well here it goes. Things are not the same as they once were. Once white’s ridiculed blacks and now it is opposite. Blacks now ridicule whites as I heard with my own ears.

It’s not the outside that is bothering me. It’s the inside black attitude.

Would I surprise you that Bill Cosby says the same thing I just did. Cosby says many are doing Jive talk and Trash talkers and blaming the whites for all their problems. But this can't be so as America is full with Black athletes getting paid lots of money and Black actors and blacks that own their own businesses.

Cosby told them to stop the Jive talk. Learn to speak English and go get work.

I was not here when Slavery was or the division between blacks and whites.

Yet now many blacks make fun of white people the way we talk and live. It is their own kind of vengeance..
Black Neighborhoods were in worse conditions than others I have been to. They were not poor. . But the businesses around them boarded up their stores saying Crime is too high around here. I found it more common in black Neighborhoods businesses being boarded up than any other communities..
Many blacks in the United States try to act cool and feeling superior over whites and other races.

There are races in America that copy the bad black attitude wanna be blacks.

I’ve heard the black music more talk about whites than I have heard in white music.

. There are some really nice Christian Black people out there. There are a lot of good black people. . . . But of all races Blacks appear to be most bold about their way of life jive talk etc.

It is not the difference how many talk but very bold very slanderous and very proud.
Whites in America today blend in with most others now. There are good and bad in every race but in my life’s experience blacks have been the worse examples I have seen and heard in my Life.

Therefore I say those Blacks who continue to walk in the Lord keep walking with him and hope to meet you one day if I don’t know you know. For those with slander superior black talk hate white talks and killing your own race running away from Black women to be with white women trashing up your neighborhoods.

Please stop all this. Pride will destroy you. Hating back is not the solution.

Let us believe in Jesus and forget our pasts. let us Black, white, Asian Hispanic and every race of the World as the Dream of Martin Luther King that we can all join hands and say free at last. Free at last.
I would like to have black friends at least 1 or 2 that are morally good or Christian. Currently don't have any black friends. I have not encountered with one on a personal basis for years.

My contacts are Hispanic Whites and Asian.

I have one contact that is half black and half white. But she herself hates the bad black attitudes. Admits it is easier to get along with other races. Please Black man I don’t hate you. Please stop that pride hatred and slandering and damaging your neighborhoods.

Let us put the past behind us. Let us walk on New Ground in Friendship Speaking kindly to one another treating everyone fairly and equal.

Well, what goes around comes around Trebor,, it will end, but bitterness from how people have been treated will surface.. live with it and accept it.. but its not colour that does it,,,, it how people are treated.

Seems an odd thing for someone to even think to ask in my opinion. What would you honestly expect a Christian to say to a question like that ?
Yeah Canny, I know she's no longer with us, just thinking out loud
