I've temporarily moved to where I'm at now just today, and will be staying here for only about a month because we bought a trailer here, and will be moving it back to our property after the pad has been poured and has cured. My cat is a Main Coon and is now hiding under one of our beds. What should I do to help her get acclimated to her new home? And what can I do to keep her from wanting to run off when I take her back to her our original home? Should we take her back and let her stay at our original home until we move back? Anyone have any experience with this situation? And anyone out there have any professional advice (Animal therapists, Veterinarian, etc.)?Relocating(Moving) and need some advice. What would be best for my cat? What should I do?
Kitty will come around. She is frightened. There are new sounds and smells to get used to. Put a blanket under the bed that will smell like her old home and put her litter box and food near by so she doesn't have to venture farther than she feels comfortable doing. And just be patient. She's going to need a few days.Relocating(Moving) and need some advice. What would be best for my cat? What should I do?
Well my friend,, I'm not a vet,, but I just lost my Maine Coon of 15 yrs. this past Nov. Miss him dreadfully. Maybe just keep down commotion, put his feed bowls out,, make the place as cumfy as possible and he should come around. You might also want to tell your vet and maybe a SLIGHT sedative until he comes around himself. Just make the loving environment he's used too. And talk to him. Her.
My first Siamese went through 15 moves with me in 12 years. He handled it just fine. He actually loved car rides but would cry when I rolled the window down to pay tolls.
The constant is YOU. He will want to be with you.
show your cat that it can run a round and play
My cats used to hide every time I moved. After a while, they come out and want to explore. Get your kitty back to its routine as soon as you can, and it will adapt to the situation.
If you're worried about the kitty's stress level, there's a product called Feliway that replicates cat pheromones (it's synthetic, so no harm done to any cats.) It helps to calm and soothe your cat. I used it when my in laws came to visit.

Just read & give your best advice?
I had a baby 8 months ago %26amp; my pre pregnancy weight was 130-135. I am now 150 %26amp; seem to be stuck there. My main problem in my inner/outer thighs %26amp; these nasty love handles. I hate it so much %26amp; I know I am the only one who can control what I eat but my biggest downfall is pop, especially Mt. Dew, I can't stay away from it. How do I lose weightJust read %26amp; give your best advice?
Ive never been on these myself, but ive heard great things about them.
weight watchers and the south beach diet. Weight watchers is a tad more sensible because its good normal meals and you have a program. ive heard your whole family can just eat what you do since the meals are just healthy, not fat burning. about the non fat burning part- if you eat the food and get plenty of exersize (you may want to start working out for 30 mins every morning followed with some squats and crunches) on the diet/program you pick im pretty sure you will get results. my aunt went on the South Beach diet. she couldnt have carbs for 2 whole weeks but, she lost 11 lbs.
p.s. when you go to the store, have youre whole family come with you and tell them not to let you buy any mountain dew. and ask youre spouse (or partner or BF) to hide all of the mountain dew you currantly have. the less you drink the less you want it. the first few days will be hard though. try lemonaide.Just read %26amp; give your best advice?
the soda or pop is your biggest problem one its horrible for you two its too much caffine and three it does make you gain alot of wieght. do cardio when you have the free time and eat lots of meat and fish and eggs because those are really good protiens that help create muscle (not too much btw) and it helps keep muscle and also you need to drink lots of water and good juices and keep hydrated thats very important:) also if you have time try working out at least 5 times a week thats the ammount that's reccamended by professionials. it doesnt have to be for long either it can be for 30 minutes or and hour whatever is most convienient for you since you have a toddler i know it can probably be hard to focus on you:) mainly just work on your diet and limit yourself to 1 pop a day and then 5 a week and then 3 and then one a week and etc. by then you should be weened off of the pop:)
and really for thighs you need to do lunges and squats which can get tiring after a while honestly but otherwise if you do a few reps at a slow pace it shouldnt effect you much. i dont think there is a cure for love handles:( but you can do sit ups and crunches which will help tighten that area. you should do pilates they sell videos for cheap pretty anywhere at your basic walmart and pilates really gives you a good formthis is another tip clean the house in high heels its a good work out and it'll alter things in your body including your thighs:) i know it might sound silly but it is very effective:) and if your looking for some drink to replace the soda you can try slimfast they have many different flavors and help with your wieght. or you can try wieghtwatchers program which doesnt require much the good thing about them that sets them apart from others is that they teach you how to maintain your diet alll by yourself! and really make you aware of your calorie intake and what your really eating you can learn alot in their program and it doesnt take up too much time because all you have to do is go to the nearest building for you and wiegh in every once in a while so it'll be convienient for you:) or you can take your kid on walks and go to the park with them and be interactive that'll definately work
hopefully i helped you!! good luck!
stay confident and most importantly be consistent or you wont get the results you were looking for.
I have to tell you that I am in the same boat... it is nice to see that someone else is having the same problems.
I was never much of a pop drinker before I had my baby (6 months ago) and I am addicted to it... It must be a hormonal thing.
I guess I won't be giving you much advice.. just that I have cut my pop drinking in half by trying to drink water and eat a juice type of fruit whenever I crave the pop.
Good Luck %26amp; Congrats on the baby!
Ok. well the first step to loosing weight is wanting to. If you really want to challenge your self/ your self controll, get away from the pop. Find something healthy you love and put it in place of your pop. Also when i was trying to get away from sweets, i carried around some celery sticks and when i was offered some candy or got a craving i said no thanks and munched away on my celery. I know it sounds blah but it works and it actually tastes good. = ). Seccond! Taebo with Billy Blanks is AMAZING!!!! its soo much fun to do and it targets abs thighs arms soul, and EVERYWHERE!! its soooo fun! and you can do it at your own level. All you need for equipment it the dvd, and you can do it in the comfort of your own home. ITS SOO GREAT. TRUST ME!!
Hope i helped!!
Targetted weight loss is quite tough, many people would say impossible, but the sole method which clearly worked for me is wu-yi tea, it can be viewed in the resource box underneath, they have a limited number of free trials left, it has been reported in Fox News and USA Today. I melted away twenty five pounds, it clearly does work!
Colon cleaning is the modern way to reduce weight. Scientists have noted the point that not all extra weight is due to additional fat, a load of weight simply sits there in the insides, and all you need to do is clean it out. http://zorarenfly.dmql.com has a risk free trial on right now, give it a go, you could reduce as much as twenty lbs!
Have you tried Fresca? It doesn't even taste like diet to me. It is similar and caffeine free.
As for working out Try a exercise bike. I lost 40 pounds in 4 months with one and diet. I have one that works arms too. You can use those all year round. :]
switch to diet to start. fresh fruit takes care of sweet cravings. Good Luck!back blackheads oily skin

Interracial couples. Have this ever been an issue? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Not necessary to be an interracial couple. I guess about couple from total different background.
You eat different food. You dress different. You have different values etc..
For example, you always eat some curry chicken and rice for dinner, but your BF would not eat it. He loves to eat Pizzas. Would you feel weird? lol :)
Have this ever been an issue to you?Interracial couples. Have this ever been an issue? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Not at all, since I am not a follower, I tend to like new things or different things that not necessarily considered mainstream. I am in an interracial relationship and I find it cute when both of our differences are considered. It also puts a new perspective on things when our cultures collide. I love it, it's like a breath of fresh air and our kids can enjoy both sides of their culture.
Our values are the same and we eat the same food pretty much. As far as dress, of course I am girlie and he wears his basic guy stuff.Interracial couples. Have this ever been an issue? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I am part of an inter racial marriage. We are both 31. We have been together since 17, married at 22. We have two children 2 and 6 years old. We both have master degrees, own a home and we both work for the state.
But we are worlds apart. He is from Peru. Came to America when he was 8 and lived in a close knit hispanic community. I was born in Poland and moved to America when I was 4 years old. Lived in a close knit polish american community.
There are days we eat my tuype of food, there are days when we eat his type of food. There are more days that we eat American Food. WE have them in polish culture school and he teached them spanish. We are not super into our culture, so we always get along.
We do dress different because he is a guy and I'm a girl LOL! Our values are the same. We are the same inside. HIs family values are the same as mine. That is what is important.
Has it ever been an issue to us ??? NO! we respect each other and our culture. We give up a little and learn from each other. We are dedicated to our new culture (mixed with American Children) and move on with our lives. It does take time though. The IMPORTANT WORD IS RESPECT! If you have that there should be no issues!
Good Luck
My wife is mexican, and I'm white, and I didn't like mexican food before she cooked for me, now I love it. As a couple you need to share each others culture with each other. If other people have a problem with the interracial aspect of the relationship, who cares? It doesn't matter what anyone else thinks as long as you love each other.
Well i am white and my boyfriend is mexican. It isn't a big deal unless you make it into one. I honestly hate mexican food which is pretty ironic but when his mom makes it or his family has me for dinner and want to eat it i just deal with it. I'm not one to be rude or selfish and refuse just because of my preferences. It's a mutual agreement with him...he hates milk and not a big fan of some of my family's favorites but he will have them so as not to be rude. If you truely love the other it shouldn't matter what kind of food or material items you use you should be willing to pick your battles and bend when you are willing to let things slide.
I think if your basic values are the same and you want basically the same things out of life then the differences keep it interesting.
If you look at my avatar you'll notice that I have Apache blood in me. My girlfriend (soon to be fiancee) is Jamaican-Italian. When our relationship first started we were blissfully content with being together and didn't take notice of our cultural differences. Now that we've been dating a few years we are both aware of them so we compromise to accommodate them.
Example: Her mother cooks things like Ginger Tamarind Chicken and Mannish Water soup with Sweet Potato Pone for dessert and Beatroot Drink to wash it all down. Before meeting my girlfriend I had never had anything like it. Sometimes I liked the food but whenever I didn't care for it, Kim or her mother would never ask me to eat it or starve for the sake of custom. Her mother is always courteous enough to prepare spaghetti, or mashed potatoes and a salad just in case. It's the same way for other things. Her grandparents believe in one God, mine believe in many.
Kim and I love each other and we don't even pretend to have come from the same type of background. When you see my father with long straight black hair and tanned skin, he looks nothing like her mother with dark skin and long wavy hair. I would never stop caring for her because we do things like food and dress differently. I love her too much!!!
Besides... I'm interested to see what our Apache/Caucasian/Jamaican/Italian wedding will be like!! :)
At the beginning, it sounds like fun because the other person is so different. It's like learning all about another culture. As the relationship progresses, it will get boring and then it will get hateful. You will yearn for someone to jooin you for curry chicken, someone that will share your values and dreams. Think about it. It's your future happiness.
That would drive me crazy! You need to get him to try your food (I'm sure you share a pizza with him occasionally) Tell him how important it is to you--as your significant other he should value the things that are important to you. Try working him up to curry dishes, like something less pungent and then maybe you can gradually change his palate.
Yes, I cook everyday....what on earth do I cook when all i like to eat is Chile and rice, beans....My husband is Italian...he like home cooked food.....i mean from scratch.....It took some getting use too. But get this....my husband eats Chile now...never did before..LOL
'birds of a feather flock together' , to a large extent this is very true and theres absolutely nothing wrong about it either.
however, as replexgirl put it , ' I think if your basic values are the same and you want basically the same things out of life then the differences keep it interesting. '
that hit the nail on the head, pretty much summarised a potential essay I was planning to unleash on all of your peanut brains heh.
seeing as this IS - MY answer, i shall make the best use of this space for it , so i'll touch on a few other things too regarding interracial relationships.
I've always maintained the belief that ignorance,seflishness, insincerity, spitefulness and arrogance are traits you will find in people from ALL walks of life, regardless of colour, creed,socio-economic b/g, religion, race etc etc.
These traits or bad qualities are inhibited within man and woman from all corners of the globe and more importantly - the reverse is also true. You will find as reflexgirl put it, similarities and basic things in life you and another person want - if the physical attraction is there then whats stopping you from pursuing a relationship with that person ?
I don't want to stigmatise ANY type of person in ANY type of relationship however genuine it is or if its based on false pretences and show, thats not my business at the end of the day. If a white girl wants to date a black guy for 'sexual reasons' and the relationship is heavily 'sexual orientated' , thats none of any one elses business right ?
I've noticed though, in this day and age, there is still a large contingent of people who dissaprove or dislike interracial relationships, once again that is THEIR business and their preference - and you cannot enforce your beliefs on others no matter what.
As long as nobody is getting hurt, let it be. Thats my moto.
If youre dating somebody outside your own ethnicity because of having a serious run of bad luck meeting somebody to hit it off with in your own race, thats fine too. If you're dating outside your race to broaden your horizons and learn more about that person as well as yourself, thats also fine.
If youre in an interracial relationship for egocentric reasons, i.e youre dating somebody outside your race to make a statement, and/or for personal gain - then one may question the sincerity of that relationship.
Final words, and this is what i think :
theres no such thing as 'interracial relationships' in the human existence. Only RELATIONSHIPS. :-)
all the best folks.
Usually in order to be a couple you will have a bit in common, for example values. My husband is African, he introduced me to African food. I like some not all. He doesnt like everything I like either. It is always exciting to learn new things about his experiences back home. His family sent me traditional African dress and I have partaken in a traditional baby naming ceremony. The only problems we have ever had are just normal things everyone goes through. Nothing related to our different races.
I'm a white country girl who grew up eating mashed potatoes and hamburgers. I dated a Japanese American, from Maui for three years who ate rice every day with his meals. It took me a year to finally eat fish, sushi, and teriyaki. I now know how childish I was for taking so long, and I discovered how much I was missing. If the person is worth it then you'll try something at least once for that person.
Not necessarily racial, but cultural for sure. I'm a white bread American and my husband is Hispanic (El Salvador). I wouldn't call them arguments, but trying to figure out what to eat for dinner every night is a nightmare. There are literally only a handful of food that we both like. I'm a potatoes kind of girl, he loves his rice. I love green veggies, he lives on beans. He loves spicy, I love bland. This is our conversations every night.
Me: ';What do you want to do for dinner?';
Him: ';I dunno, what do you want to do for dinner?';
Me: ';I want to put a gun in my mouth so we never have to have this conversation again.';
Then we laugh, and the ';What do you want to do for dinner?'; conversation starts up again. Every night, it's complete agony.
Mostly though, we eat ';every man for himself'; style. He makes what he wants, I make whatever I want.
What are you gonna do, hate someone cause they don't like grits? It's tempting, lord know you shouldn't trust someone who doesn't like grits. But, what can I do, I love him:)

If thats the most serious issue then your concerned for no reason. Meet in the middle and you'll be fine.
no it dosent have to be a race thing my husband is black and so am i he is west indian i am southern i dont like some haitain cuisine but i like others he dosent like grits a southern food i cant understand this but i love the cutural diffrence embrace it thas what makes mixed couples so special
I don't believe in Interracial couples.They both have their cultural backgrounds %26amp; should not mix them !!!
You eat different food. You dress different. You have different values etc..

I'm a potatoes kind of girl, he loves his rice. I love green veggies, he lives on beans. He loves spicy, I love bland. This is our conversations every night.
Me: ';What do you want to do for dinner?';
Him: ';I dunno, what do you want to do for dinner?';
Me: ';I want to put a gun in my mouth so we never have to have this conversation again.';
Then we laugh, and the ';What do you want to do for dinner?'; conversation starts up again. Every night, it's complete agony.
Mostly though, we eat ';every man for himself'; style. He makes what he wants, I make whatever I want.
What are you gonna do, hate someone cause they don't like grits? It's tempting, lord know you shouldn't trust someone who doesn't like grits. But, what can I do, I love him:)

10 points to the best advice.?
being the idiot i am, when i was younger i shaved my stomach. now that it came back, there isn't as much hair, but it's very dark and very fine, and i have a very white stomach. please don't tell me to go get it waxed, and nair didn't work. any other options??10 points to the best advice.?
If you don't want hair shave it. If you want hair you can bleach it yourself at home. They sell kits wherever they sell hair dye. It's easy to do and won't irritate your skin. It should last a while as opposed to shaving that you would have to do every day or so. Some girls like hair, it's manly.10 points to the best advice.?
are you trying to get rid of the hair? if so, there's not much else to do besides shaving, waxing, and well, nair. also, i'm my personal opinion, you need a happy trail. i've never had any of my friends say 'i hate a man's stomach hair'. really i don't think girls care or notice at all. i know i don't. it might look weirder without one. at least you're not hairy like a yeti, then you'd really have a problem.
pour lemon juice all over your stomach and then that hair will get highlighted when you go out in the sun. so that you can barely see it.
maybe you can try shaving it....that's the only option you have left....
just bleach it. you wont see it, and it wont grow back darker or thicker
If it's fine then don't worry...chicks can nuzzle your belly on the way down...
bro some chicks dig hair men. find a girl who does

What will be he best advice you can tell me about giving my virginity to my boyfriend?
you know what my boyfriend always asks me if i love him really love him and so i always say yes but after that he always asks me to have sex so then i get paranoid then what should i do now will i have to break him upWhat will be he best advice you can tell me about giving my virginity to my boyfriend?
dont have sex with him...wait till your married like im doing....if he actually loves you he wont pressure you....my boyfriend knows im waiting, and sometimes when i start getting a little crazy he reminds me to stop.....even though he wants to sleep with me he knows it important to me, so he wants me to be happy, and helps me stand by what i believe, and he NEVER ever pressures me.......ive had ex boyfriends who have done that to me....i just wound up finding out that they were selfish a$$holes! cut your losses and find a good guy who doesnt pressure you.What will be he best advice you can tell me about giving my virginity to my boyfriend?
you better love him
Go ahead...nothing wrong with a screw.Hope you are eighteen.
Wait until after marriage is right
Id suggest dumping his *** if he keeps asking for sex. He should respect and be patient if you want to wait. Otherwise he could just bone you, then he'll dump you. Anyone who keeps asking for sex all the time is trouble.
At least wait until you're 18. If he doesn't like it, get rid of him.
if he loves you he would not pressure you for sex.
ask him if he loves you see what happens.
It sounds like that's all he's after. If he just uses ';love'; as an excuse...it sounds like a classic case of ';If you love me then you'll have sex with me.'; Which doesn't fly by me very well. I wouldn't unless it's EXACTLY what you want. If you start to feel pressured then tell him, but when you've finally had enough of him asking for it, dump him.
he is too obsessed with sex... if he really loved you he wouldnt push you like that. it sounds like hes using you. really. i say tell him flat out, im not ready to have sex with you, if you really love me you will be ok with that. If not then say the word and i will leave.. its up to you!
If he loved you then why would he be trying to force sex on you? I would wait until you are ready...if he doesnt want to wait for you- then tell him goodbye. You will only be able to give your virginity to one person- ONCE...so please, please, please....choose wisely- you will remember your ';first'; forever- so make sure its with the right person. good luck!
Wait until after marriage!!!
A lot of guys (and girls) pull the whole...if you love me...card.
Tell him - ';if you love me, you will respect my wishes. I'm not ready.';
Do NOT have sex with him if you are not ready and if he doesn't understand that - dump him. No person who is worth it would make you feel guilty about not having sex.
Don't do it! after having sex with him everything in your relationship will change!!! test him first if he truly deserve your virginity
girl he just want u to have sex and ur just ging to be his sex toy until he get bored of u
i suggest you do not give him your virgenty, why because thats what he wants... if he really loved you, he would wait until you want to have it with him.
second he keeps bringing this up..
I am willing to bet that if you give it to him, hell break up with you about a week later...
its like giving me youre virginity and you dont even know me...
girl.... the choice is yours.. but you should keep my advice in mind if you do...
because I'd break up with him if i were in your shoes.. and I am a guy by the way..
think about it....itll save you from getting even more hurt if he does break up with you...
because youll know if the guy loves you or not...
if he loves you, when you want to.. hell be ready.. if he wants it and keeps pressuring you... well, im also willing to bet i would be rather a better boyfriend than him.... but its just a though of my opinion as an example.. Im not trying to get to anything here..
think about it... my advice i mean.
My best advice would be: Don't do it. I got pregnant on my first time. Birthcontrol, condoms, I didn't think I was ovulating, and special soap girls can put down there. I thought all those things we did wouldn't make me pregnant. Guess what...you play adult games you get adult prizes. SEX=BABY
If he follows up the question ';Do you love me?'; with ';Why won't you have sex with me?'; he is a big waste of time and is only trying to get in your pants. You'd be best advised to drop him like the loser he is and move on with your life. Find somebody who doesn't pressure you in to having sex. Learning this early on in life will save you a lot of heartache later on down the road.
Sex does not equal love................EVER!
Wait until marriage.
Wait until marriage!!
My dear girl, you have every right to say no to him and then ask him if he loves you. I bet he won't answer you. He is a jerk for asking you that question and then expect you to put out. If he really loves you, he will respect you for when you are ready. Not when he wants it from you. When you do .loose your virginity, its not something you give, its something you loose and can never put back. Think hard and strong about what you really want and don't let anyone pressure you into anything unless you feel comfortable with it. Good luck. There is nothing wrong with being a virgin. Good for you.
DON'T WAIT UNTIL MARRIAGE. No guy is going to propose if he hasn't taken it for a test ride so to speak. I'm not trying at all to be rude or anything but it's true. Obviously if he's begging for sex now he doesn't wanna wait until after marriage. Depending on how old you are, let's say you are 18. My BEST advice to you is wait. Honestly, this guy is basically just trying to get in your pants, then most likely end up fighting and then leaving. Your virginity can only be given out once, and if you decide to give it out to the wrong guy, then that would be a terrible waste, because when you actually DO meet the guy that you will marry and who actually LOVES you not ';loves'; you, then you won't have any regrets and your future husband would appreciate you waiting and you will have a good life together.
Now with this boyfriend of yours you have. If he actually ';loves'; you and he's begging you for sex and he's saying that stupid over used line that OBVIOUSLY means that he doesn't LOVE you, Which is, ';If you really love me then you'll have sex with me.'; You should say, ';If you really loved and cared about how I feel then you would fully understand how I feel about not wanting to have sex with you and waiting a while so that I know for sure that you're the right guy to lose my virginity to. I just don't wanna have any regrets.';
Say something like that or put yourself and heart into it and I'm sure that you'll have no regrets and seriously be happy with your decision. Don't give oral sex either, that to me, is also as bad.
Just live life as happily as possible and good luck with your love life.
';Peace comes to those who know patience';
~Chinese Proverb
you should ask him if he wants to get married if he asks you to have sex.
And how he plans to support you and the baby.
If he is prepared to have sex with you he had better be prepared for those as well, because that is all part of being a man instead of a boy.
as much as possible don't give it to him yet. Try to wait a little longer to make sure that you have a matured relationship.. be sure that he loves you and not just for the sake of lust.
if you are 18+
then go for it
just don't do anything unless you want to and your ready.
if u asking me id love to have sex, He wants to have sex with u for the following reasons HORNY=Breakup PERVERT=breakup
1st time and interested=breakup. If he continusly wants to have sex with u break up
Don't give him your virginity if you really don't want to have sex.
You don't HAVE to break up, but sweetie I would. Any guy who says ';If you love me you'll...'; is not worth the dirt on his shoes. Stay firm, and if he doesn't like it you can tell him to hit the road. But like I said, you don't have to break up, but just do not, I repeat, DO NOT give in to him, it won't be worth it! If you need anymore help, just contact me!

Are we living in a racist country still? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
Why do people labored mixed persons such as Barack Obama or Harry Berry as African American.
Can they be white because their mothers is white? Can they be Mixed Races?
Why do they have to be African American?
Thank you.Are we living in a racist country still? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I never did understand the African American thing. The African part is supposed to refer a *****. What about all the South Africans who are lily white, yet more African than any American (black or white) could ever be.
I think it has something to do with making sure we never forget about slavery.
The **** was inserted by Yahoo. It was a reference to a race, not a nasty slang word.Are we living in a racist country still? 10 points for the best advice. Thank you?
I was wondering that too, they are both, why did they choose the label African American.
Where is Africa-America anyway? lol (little joke)
Because once you go Black you can';t go back. I assume you mean Hallie Berry. Then America calls you an African American.
Yes very much so. We should all be called Americans plain and simple and quit with the stupid labels.
Yes, I think that racism still exists (sadly) mixed race people sometimes take one race over another, usually the one that has had the most influence in their life. In the past if you were half black and half white you were dubbed mulluto and this was as bad as being black. Things are incredibly better now but trust me that those that wave their confederate flags are stating flat out that they are racist.
U.S. Citzen is what people could be called. This what many are after all.Obama is a U.S. Citizen so call Obama The Citizen Of Choice if this is your choice.
Hillary is not a white woman but is a U.S. Citizen running for President and neither is her name Bill.
We are living in a discriminating country, and it's always going to be like that no matter what law or laws you pass. There will always be some people we like and some we don't, for what ever reason and nothing will change that.
Ya i don't much like ';labeling'; people as just this or that rich or poor black or white either. But the sad fact is that in our country racism has been prevalent in our society. And now we can see the pendulum of change has swung way far in the other direction. Where a ';certain'; group is being singled out as the root cause of another groups problems and or actions. If all of us would just take full responsibility for our selves and communities and those around us i think the term ';racism'; would be extinct.
Generally speaking,no.But small pockets still exist.The only way to completely wipe out racism is not through education but through inter breading.This is why I highly encourage interracial relationships.Because in time there would be no white race or black race etc.In time everyone may end up being a mixture of different races and nationalities.And if that's the case then how are people going to be racist if chances are there DNA also has a little of everything.So my advice is to marry someone of a different race.I know this sounds pretty immature,but its the truth.
No.
they get more benefits that way.
Actually in today's day and age, it is actually up to them. The classifications people have are their choice, so they choose what they want to be. I believe both of them have chosen to be identified as African American, they identify themselves that way. Otherwise they would have corrected someone, and they would have asked to be refered to as Mixed or White, or whatever race or Mix of races they believe defines them, if they believe it defines them at all. Race is non-existant, it is just skin color, and what skin color you may think someone is really has no bearing on who they are, and how they identify themself is far more important than what they may or may not look like.
More sexist than racist.
Im tired of all these stupid labels. We are all going to die one day and be buried next to each other.
Can they be white because their mothers is white? Can they be Mixed Races?
Why do they have to be African American?
