I think this one is gonna be long... I have a bunch of responses to comments made by different people:

It would be a sad, sad day if every white person felt how you describe and if every black person felt the way you do.

Black or white, not everyone shares YOUR version of reality.
shalom says:
"i am sorry that racism has died in some of your minds, but it lives everyday."
Racism hasn't died in my mind. I know that it still exists. All I can tell you is that I am not a part of it and don't ever plan to be.
shalom says:
"I can't go everywhere you can go and feel safe. The Klan still runs strong and so do other nazi hate groups."
I can't go everywhere that you can go and feel safe either, go figure. The klan & those nazi hate groups make me sick. All those people seem to want to do is hate everyone who isn't like them. Do me one favor, don't judge ALL white people based on what those fools (the klan & nazi hate groups) do. More white people are against the klan & nazi groups than you realize.
shalom says:
"So my brotha whose going to watch your back, that white girl on your arm.......HEll NAW!!!"
I was watching a television talk show about a year ago - the topic was hate groups & there were klan & nazi group members on stage. One of the things I remember about that show was when members of both groups said how they hate the whites who date blacks just as much as they hate blacks. So, it seems to me like inter-racial couples would need to watch each others backs when it comes to dealing with members of these hate groups or any other people who would hate them for being together. By the way, the klan/nazi members looked like fools by the time the show was over.

"Username.......are you blonde with blue eyes???? Just wondering?"
If I was, what would be your reply? That I was a racist, bigot, pig-headed fool because of it? Would you really judge or stereotype me based on my hair or eye color? To answer your question, no, I am not blonde & blue.
prettygyrl wrote:
"Look you have your world and the shit you say is typical of a white person to say."
Hmmm.... Saying that the driving force behind the civil war was the fight against slavery and that white people did die while fighting for that cause, or that people should judge other people based on their own individual actions and not on the actions of others, or that our society is much different than it used to be & continues to improve (with or without your help), or that not all white/black people are bad/good, etc. If saying all this makes me a typical white person, than I certainly hope so.

"You really do not have to say nothing cause you got it all right?"
Do you think that since I am white I was born with a silver spoon in my mouth? Do you think that someone being white means they have it ALL? Just like many of my white & black friends, I had to work my way through college. I had to borrow lots of money. I spent countless hours studying to make sure I aced the more difficult courses. Sound like anyone you know?

Damnnn Jae do u have to be so cold?
prettygyrl wrote:
"Jae....... I am not usually attracted to weak ass men"... & "Especially if the White women are with men like Jae hell they can have his Uncle Tom ass!!!!"
Monique, maybe Jae is tired of so many people (both black & white) telling him & his girlfriend how much of a bad thing their relationship is. I'm sure they hear too many negative comments from both sides of the track. Monique & prettygyrl, Give the guy a break. Be glad that he can be happy. About prettygyrl saying Jae is "weak ass", considering all the issues surrounding black/white relationships and all the pressures that come with it, I think it takes two VERY STRONG people to overcome that kind of adversity.

"Cause what you say means nothing to me and i do not know WHY what I say bothers you I mean if you are not like what I say yall are like then why even bother to respond or get angry. FEELING A LITTLE GUILTY MAYBE!?"
No, there's no reason for me to feel guilty about anything. There is no anger in my responses (go check if you like). Do you really want to know why I "bother to respond" to your comments? It's because maybe one day our families will be neighbors. Maybe our children will become friends. Maybe even you and I would become friends (with this conversation being anonymous, who knows, maybe we already are). Why should we have to hate each other because of the color of our skins? Why should we have to hate each other at all? I think that someone needs to show you that not all people (white/black/etc) feel the that way you think they do or should. I respond to your messages because (I) we are not ALL "like what I (prettygyrl) say yall are like."
