cute...absolutely the point! When a child tells another child they are a "bad" words...the child cries and runs home. If that child stops reacting to the word, it doesn't become "fun" any longer...so it stops.

I watch this interaction between my children...so I guess if we as adults would just stop reacting...it loses the fun. We've all been called many names in life, but that doesn't justify continuing it throughout our lives either.

WarDriver, it's up the THEM between their own race to decide why and if it's acceptable. There are certain things within the "white" culture that are acceptable but not that other races can "say" to whites. Each culture has the same "issue". Why does anyone care WHY they are allowed to between each other? I don't. As I stated, my boyfriend is Black and I wouldn't think twice about offending him or anyone else if I already KNOW it's not acceptable.

I lived in Iran for almost 3 years when I was younger. It wasn't any different within that race either. It's cultural. Nothing more.

Respect for other cultures however, is taught.

Let's see....definition of "racism"...as follows

noun
The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
Discrimination or prejudice based on race.


Yes, I think we're on the same page.

Anytime a "slang" is used to determine or define what someone is, is racism. It can be subtle, it can be blatant. When someone's skin color, nationality, race, religion, creed are coming in to question, it's racism.

Excuse me, but NOT everyone uses the "N" word. Some of us find it just as offensive as if someone were to call me or my children "spicks" or "wops". It's the same end result...racism.

I don't teach it to my children, and I'll be damned if one of them will use ANY racial term...especially not in front of me. My boyfriend IS black and his ex called him that once. It's unacceptable behavior as far as I am concerned, even in "jest".

Shoot the breeze, with a few shots of Jose Cuervo!

Probably on the cheek, til I got to know him better. :)

cheek for tx...how you doing girl?

TOO MANY! About 5

How many times do you brush your teeth every day?

How many times have you changed jobs/careers?

Lips, cheeks, and....

I'm leaving now....it's getting too hot in here.

beat heart

Hello! Buenos noches! I'm fairly "new". Just came back after several months.

Bienvenido! Welcome!

NOT the cheek....let's put it that way.

I was wondering the same.....but then again I was never invited. :(

Good nite dear and sweet dreams....or naughty ones. You decide.

Wondering if he knows, I have to go, and that I'm actually blushing.

Wondering if that would have been dinner....or breakfast.

;)

Kiss....and I'd knock his socks off.

Make sure you're socks have support straps...the only way you'd keep them on! lol!

Wondering if he knows that "I" know...a way to a man's heart IS through his stomach, and treating him like a King.

Wondering if he's ever been to Italy, Mexico, OR China.

Most of all, we're exciting lovers.
