@future
Same here! Ohhh, I see. I must be more familiar with "groovy" drumlines then.

OMG People never agree with me either. On social issues I'm also pretty conservative, but on economic issues I'm a bit liberal. I considerate myself to be a moderate, though. I dislike extremes on both the left and right. :/ I prefer capitalism myself.
LOL Stalking. <3

@hello
I can see that. For minority women it's almost harder to date out. Guys will only date them because of their fetishes. :/ It's pretty sad and rather disgusting.

@Alexis I see lol!

I hate that lol. People around here hate my views, and when I ask why, they say that they're "white man's views." I prefer capitalism as well. I love having competition since it drives down prices

Stalking is fun lol!

You don't know anyone who can criticize your views with something better than "they're white man's views"?

@Philovitist I know a lot of people who can criticize my views better than that. I go to a very diverse Catholic school with people who have a lot of different views. In my conversation with Alexis, I was telling her why people where I live hate my views and think that I side with the white man. Around here, they have an entitlement and victim mindset. They think that blacks are currently an oppressed people (Which we're NOT!) so they think that they deserve an entitlement such as welfare and food stamps. It's not everyone around here (I have friends from around where I live who actually want to make better lives for themselves), but it's a good portion.

Well, this isn't the forum for me to discuss why I may disagree with you depending on your understanding of the phrase "oppressed".

Imo, while inequality certainly exists, no one deserves entitlements based solely upon one's race. Even AA should follow criteria based upon SES more so than race (poor kids ftw, lol). "The man" owes us nothing but respect and understanding really.

That being said, ours is not a post racism society. Oppression still manifests itself. :O

That approach will not solve the problems of race in society. It will leave things as they are forever, except to get worse.

It's really that simple.

Wow, this thread totally changed directions in terms of its original topic. I'm sorry OP, I just like to talk a lot lol

My little rant is just my own opinion. I'm not going to elaborate any further, I was just putting my ideas out there.

@Alexis Indeed, poor kids rule! Lol

I'm not in a position to be talking to anyone atm is all. Barriers will be gone in college. Unless I become a workaholic.
