Yah, I am so sick of the racism I see in the US, and I am sure the rest of the world is no different. I am curretly taking a sociology class. The teacher is black and many of my felloew white students just will not listen to her because of this. She is a doctor and head of the sociology department at my univrersity. Yet, my fellow students (mostly white) use racial slurs when talking about her out of class. I have been told by some that she has nothing to say to us because she is black and cannot understand our world view, and therfore she has nothing to teach us. This is not right as we all are born with things like sex and race that we cannot control. These classes teach you that the white man has every advantage in the world that we recieve only by the chance meeting of sperm and egg.

We all can learn from each other and I am sick of the racism of my country. This will probably never change, but it is good some people look beyound chaos.

PEACE


Most of the students are stupid. Creating races within a race is a census tool, but race between human actually doesn't exist because humans are one race. There is no way "we" do things, it's the way you do things. Now customs aren't tied to "race" but actually to ethnicity and nationality and sub cultures in between those two. Anyone of any color who becomes accustomed to anyones society can be just like them. There is no superior group and humans have the same capacity to learn. The issue is how long between phenotypes will it take for individuals to learn. When I state phenotypes, I state the appearance in difference of skin color and hair texture after evolution between humanity. This is the true term for what is stated as race. For this the only difference between your friends and another person of a different color is .2% . Technically speaking....they don't know any better. You on the other hand do. If this can help then I'm glad to have.

I feel you though if you compare today to years ago its a better situation. Change takes time also i dont think were a virus like some seem to think live your life to the fullest and care for those around you. if you want to change things try lol though when its all said and done were so bad because were so advanced.


Being advanced is the problem in that we do not think about issues that matter while we have it. We dont use our intelligence for sustainability because what we're doing is populate and destroy consume and pollute much like a virus who finds a host, attaches feeds and spreads. If you didn't notice, we don't act like typical mammals who work naturally in a cycle with the planet. We break the cycle. The highest risk of these issues are in highly developed nations. Third world countries are more sustainable to the earth than we are. The more intelligent we are the more dangerous we are to the planet. We need to learn to be better people towards our fellow brethren in humanity, but its not just about human togetherness, its about survival. Because of us, the earths clock is ticking more and more towards destructive acts. I'm not saying we're responsible but we're really pushing forward a very dangerous process. Mars was once a habitable place from what scientists are researching, something sucked all its natural resources and basically raped the planet. It's downfall definitely came from intelligent beings like minded to us.

I agree with most of what you said i just feel that change takes time and all people will not be for that because all people dont seem to want to better themselves. And about the mars thing it could have been an intelligent being like  us humans or it could be something totally different only time will tell that goes for us as well.



you are probably wrong to someone else, and those people will think the same way as you do toward you, so its just life.

Welcome to being an adult. The world is full of assholes, and your probably an asshole too. Life is cruel, and your going to have to be to. Your going to have to learn tolerance, and move beyond being self absorbed. Your gonna have to put up with shit without beating the crap out of the other guy. This isn't the playground anymore. Here we fight for our kill, and try to get out alive. This is the real world. You can either deal with your problems or bitch about your problems. Either way your going to have problems. 

You only have two choices. Either you toughen up, or you check out. Happiness in life comes in small doses, and misery pours down out of the sky. Yeah life isn't fair, and I bet your just now really starting to grasp that. You know what else it doesn't get easier. There are going to be times when shit gets real dark, and your going to be scared shitless. You will look back to now like it was heaven, and won't even be able to fathom how you could have bitched about it in the first place.

What is ironic is that once you start to toughen up your going to discover there is one thing that makes it all worth doing. Your going to realize that with all the bad shit that the world is filled with you will have won the greatest reward. That you are your own master. Powerlessness is a prison, and you have spent most of your life caged. No matter what happens now your the one who is in control. Nobody is hiding the world from you anymore. Yeah it can be a pretty nasty place, but at least its all yours now.



with the kind of society we live in now, we are forced to work to make a living, forced to be employeed. we are all blind slaves. yipee~

And when you can't find employment, you lament that you aren't able to work.  And then you hope you can land whatever you can.  And you may have to live with tyrants and bullies who force you to put up with garbage, so that you don't end up homeless.
