Tell me, what is so bad about your race? What is the reason to display such aggression when someone puts on a little line of eyeliner and a nice costume?

Even the elephant in the Lion King doesn't display such aggression when played by another race.

Tip for a little perspective:

Homosexuality. For centuries gays have been treated like trash. Even at this day, people are actually sentenced to DEATH because of being gay in various countries.

So, because of this, gay roles in theatre can only be played by real gays?

1+1=7?

Edit: And if a gay guy plays a straight guy, he has to show that he is gay in the role? Because that's how the actor was born? Hiding things in a role that you feel you have to fight for acceptance for in real life are 2 different things.

Mixing them up is actually extremely disrespectful.

Dave19 is the worst kind of racist. He's convinced he is more enlightened that anyone else. In truth, he vomits the same old same old.

"Everyone's a little bit racist, it's true"

Everybody!

"But everyone's just about as racist, as yooouu-ou-ou

If we all could just admit

That we are racist a little bit

And everyone stop being so PC-ee-ee

Maybe we could live in harmonyyyyy"

OH MY GOD!

That song magically made racism acceptable! Thank you SO MUCH for posting lyrics to it. :)

If only it had been around when I was in elementary school and was told that I speak so intelligently for a black person. It wouldn't have hurt if I had this song.

If only I had thought of this song when I was called a n* when I was 12 years old. It wouldn't have phased me.

I'm so happy that song and the Tupac musical have absolved America of racism- the power of Broadway!

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

White people hate being called racist almost as much as colored people hate being affected by racism.

Kad said: "White people hate being called racist almost as much as colored people hate being affected by racism. "

Especially when the white person can't stand separations based on race and colored people want to do everything within their power to keep the separation in tact.

(Separate rules when it comes to make up, lyrics in popsongs (white b*tches in the club), separate rules for disney princesses and separate rules for awards. Pulling racism cards whenever race isn't even involved, basically doing everything they can to make sure everyone knows they should not be treated the same as other people).

When will they get tired of maintaining this separation? Positive separation is also separation and therefore just as bad.

So erasing and ignoring race is the answer?

Total assimilation is not the answer.

If we're not having fun, then why are we doing it? These are DISCUSSION boards, not mutual admiration boards. Discussion only occurs when we are willing to hear what others are thinking, regardless of whether it is alignment to our own thoughts.

Total embracing from both sides means erasing. That's the answer. That's something different than ignoring.

One-sided rules prevent this.

"Intact" is all one word. I ignored it the first seventeen times you said "in tact", but now I must speak.
