You are a racist. Well, most of you are anyway. A recent study determined that only 7% of people do not “favor one’s own group and not form racial prejudices.”

That means whether you like it or not, you are a racist. It is time to just come out and admit it.
What race are you racist toward?

I was just reading an article about the American Red Cross of Southern Maine and how there are first-aid courses in mouth to snout resuscitation. Here is the link: Link
You might be put in a position where you are your pets only hope.
Would you be willing to give your pet mouth to snout resuscitation in order to save its life?
A cassock that was worn by Pope John Paul II has been cut up into 100,000 pieces.
The fragments are then being sold. “The faithful also receive a ‘holy card’ with a prayer to ‘obtain graces through the intercession of John Paul II.’” Priority will be given to “those who were praying for the sick or were themselves seriously ill.” Here is the link: Link
Do you feel like God is more likely to answer your prayers if you are holding a fragment of Pope John Paul II’s garment?
While Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was visiting Columbia University today, he answered some questions.
One of the issues he addressed was in reference to Iran having a nuclear program. Here is the link: Link
He asked, “How come you have that right and we don’t have it?”
How come we have the right to have a nuclear program and Iran doesn’t have the right?
During Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s visit to Columbia University, he said, “In Iran we don’t have homosexuals like in your country. We don’t have that in our country. In Iran we do not have this phenomenon.” The audience began to laugh. He then said, “I don’t know who has told you that we have it.”
Do you think that there are some cultures that encourage more people to be gay than would be otherwise?
I was just reading an article about how chivalry works in this day and age. Here is the link: Link
The article that I linked above was written by a woman. She was coaching men on chivalry in today’s world. Women no longer want to play the damsel in distress. They sometimes want to ask the man out. They want equality. This has caused some to ask if “chivalry is dead?”
I want to ask a slightly different question.
Should a woman expect chivalry with our current emphasis on equality?
It was reported last week that Jesse Jackson said that Barack Obama was “acting white” on the issue of Jena 6.
Jackson initially said he didn’t recall making that statement. He then came out and denied saying the statement. Here is the link: Link
Where is the outrage?
What if a white person had said that? The news media reported it. But they didn’t go after him like they did with Don Imus. There was no passion. Just reporting the statement.
Why?
The media is afraid to look racist and so Jesse Jackson is given a free pass to be as racist as he wants to be.
Have you heard anyone black or white say anything about Jesse Jackson’s statement?
No. Will you? No. Because no one in the media has the guts to point out the racism of Jesse Jackson’s statement. Don Imus called women on a black basketball team “nappy-headed hos.” He was toast. We all know why. He was toast because he made a statement that some felt was racist.
I had never heard the phrase “nappy-headed hos” before that day. I immediately googled the phrase “nappy-headed” at that time. You know what came up? Black hair salon companies on the internet using the term “nappy-headed.” Now if you do a google search you will see mostly Don Imus news.
But at that time, the phrase was being used by black salons.
The point is not to save Don Imus. He is an idiot.
The question is related to Jesse Jackson and what everyone knows he said. He made a racist comment and he is given a pass because he is black and it is allowed.
The key to fighting racism is consistency.
Was it racist for Jesse Jackson to say Barack Obama was “acting white?”
The state of Washington needs our help. Washington state has legalized marijuana use for medical purposes.
A person can have a 60-day supply of medical marijuana. The problem is that experts can’t agree on how much marijuana represents a 60-day supply. Here is the link: Link
I knew that some of my friends on xanga were experts in marijuana use.
How much marijuana is a 60-day supply?
I was asked this question via the message feature by http://www.xanga.com/pinkcandles:
“Do you think the society unconsciously discriminate against introverts and prefer extroverts?”
Do we unconsciously discriminate against introverts?
