I live in South-Africa, Near Cape-Town to be exact. The world has this idea that white people treat the black people like s***. OK sometimes that the truth I admit it but also the black people treat the white people like s***. During apartheid the white dominated the black people but whats happening now is that we have affirmative action. Which is apartheid against the whites . So now the black people are doing to the white people what the white people did to them. I say it was wrong what we did but why when the black people do it to us thats OK?

Welcome to America!

you have a good point, all people are flawed and it showed up in all breeds of people such as Men, Women, Whites, Blacks (all races really), Gay's and Straights. we all are people and we all have a desire for power over other people, that's our nature.

thats not necessarly true beta... i think people that were opressed have some kind of grudge that feel that what happened to then needs to me afflicted on the people that oppressed them which doesnt make it any more right than when they were. Its horrible in the time of 2003 that this is still going on. Black or White what counts is that ur a person on the inside...and no one deserves to be opressed and treated like a slave for any reason at all.

Agreed

I don't think man will ever be 100% happy with people from other racies etc! Its sad but what can you do. Although its still un fair

I disagree, personally I don't have a problem with people from other races, politics maybe but that's differant lol the way I see it is we are people, you can see it the way how they act, you can tell that you'd do that same tihng if you were in thier shoes, I mean the blacks in America were slaves, and most hated it, tho there were some treated well, most weren't and now as human nature would dictate they use "political correctness" to gain more/extra right just like feminists and other groups, so you see ther is no problem with other races, we just need to change the way people treat other people.

South park sound bite on hate crimes :-)

I agree but will we as human beings ever be able to accomplish that? I mean in the animal kingdim we don't find a Lion with a Cheeter? So maybe this is how things are meant to be? Who knows but I think it is abused these days

I'm also from South Africa, Karoo to be more precise, and here, Race tension is non existant. we all live together in peace and harmnony.

A Lion cannot live or mate with a Cheetah for physiological reasons, not reasons of race. But a Tiger from Africa and a Tiger from India can, and will, mate quite easily. Same race, but they LOOK different. All human "races" are the SAME race.....Human. It's merely the outside and minor characteristics that are different.

As for apartheid, almost all humans are raised to have a desire to dominate. It comes from being dominated while we are children by those in power over us. It stems from the basic desire for freedom of expression. Most, however, are not responsible with the freedoms they are given and tend to be a bit cloudy of thinking with them. Thus they go overboard to the point of such atrocities as apartheid, fascism, religous zealotry and the like.

Sad to know that the one thing that sets us apart from the animals (the ability to think and reason) is the one thing we don't want to do.

The one thing that really #^(*^(^ gets me is that. If anything ever goes wrong with something the non white's always blame the whites.

The world gets shocked when a non white gets killed but do you people know how many whites and non whites get killed by non whites. But that ok?*&(*&^(*^( thats not f*^(*^( cking right.
