hahaha Yeah, I was one of the characters in Twilight *gag*I joke around about things too, but I basically don't leave anyone out when I joke 😛 I'm an opportunistic joker, everyone gets a jab from me, unless they are ultra sensitive. But there's also a fine line you shouldn't cross...You'll just come off as an insensitive prick and you'll make people feel like dirt. And neither is good, of course. I think most humans are capable of great things and to treat people like they are beneath you is stupid.
I get annoyed bc sometimes people think I'm a big snob (Scorpio Rising, people! lol) but I can just be really shy and self-conscious at times but in reality, I tend to like most everyone!
I'm an opportunistic joker, but (also the same) if someone is ultra sensitive, I know what to say and what not to say. I'm not careless like that and those that are careless and tactless are just asses -- who hard behind the whole 'I'm just being honest/real' persona. Whatever, you just being a bastard/ bitch, at least admit that.
You get called a snob too? Hmmm, and I thought it was because of my libra rising :/ Oh well.
HEY! HEY! HEY! Don't gag at Twilight 😛 😛 😛 😛 I *heart* both Edward and Jacob ... yes, I'm greedy lol

wow lovelyscorp you live in indiana :O. i have to be honset that it would not be one of the desirable places for me. i enjoy diversities and not very patient with ppl who are close-minded.i admire your strength. your children are lucky to have such a loving, strong and protected mother. they are now beautiful people because of you 🙂.
You're incredibly ignorant.
I'm not even from Indiana, but you just insulted everyone who lives in that state basically by saying they aren't diverse and they are all close-minded....What the fuck?
Clearly it's you who is close-minded by generalizing everyone from Indiana as being White and Close-Minded.
Where's YOUR Open Mind about people from the Midwest?
And then you add your snobby, conformist comment about how a place such as Indiana isn't "desirable" enough for you to live. Oh Noes! Indiana isn't good enough for Princess Buttercup!
Every state in America is beautiful in its own way. What we need are less pretentious assholes like you who think that only California and New York are the only places anyone should live, and more people who appreciate every city and state.
Hell, Now I may move to Indiana (or any other Midwestern State) just to spite you.

lol, you ARE AngryScorpio, aren't you— You know, it's too bad that someone like Malcolm X can't just comeback from the dead and punch you in the face. That would be entertainment.
SG can state her opinion, just like you Mister Red-White-Blue, so take that wide ass log out of your ass and chill the hell out.
Damn, you've always gotta on my nerves.

all these beautiful women getting called names. makes me sad. i have a sister who was impregnated when she was 15. she has mixed kids. i took care of my niece the first yr she was born. that girl was very beautiful. blue eyes. and later on her hair got redder lol. i havent seen her in yrs though being in the navy. but yeah...she was beautiful. her brother was lighter though with blue eyes. he was a trip...really receptive of me. of course when i last saw my neice she was screaming and yelling anytime i tried to hold her or get near her...made me hurt a little but is to be expected from not seeing her for so long. i think ill visit them when i get home from japan. they need to meet thier favorite uncle again. haha.capricorn uncle. oh noessss. here comes high standards. dont think ill question a 4 yr old about her aspirations in life. loool
Awwwwwww, that was sweeet *******************

The thing is, I have been given a hard time about my cultural quirks not only by caucasians but by other minorities as well. It's idiotic really. People make it sound like only the light skin people are racist but frankly I've faced hate from everyone even minorities.What's your cultural background? And yeah, your friend is a hypocrite based on the fact that she wouldn't be dating Caucasian men if the same rules applied to her. This topic is far more complex that the thread can handle...I could easily nail it down in two posts but I'm not going to.

Aside from that last thread we were both on, this is one thing we can agree on. This whole subject is complex and not that cut-and-dry.

A lot including RACISM is our ancestors' fault unfortunately....and if we keep it going it becomes our fault.
I totally agree.
I mean why dint the first black guy slap some one sho would have called him black or N**ro. Or why were some continent's resident men not wise and strong enough to tell the fat headed white guys to fuck off.

YAY! Cap is here too ^_^.
I like how you put all that together like that. Who knows how things would've gone if stuff were different, you know?

So you like to wear your little 'things' huh? I happen to be a little 'things' connoisseur.

lol, hey hey hey That was a convo between MorningMist and I 😄 Not you 😛
^^LOL!!!! @ energizer bunny. Well, I have to workout soon actually. I need to come to campus to do a few things but I won't do actual homework until tomorrow, I just don't feel like it.
I was out most of the morning in hot weather but there's air condition in the building I'm in 😄 But you were playing in soccer? In 99 degrees plus humidity? Oh dear, you better shower mister lol, goodness knows I need to when I'm out sweating up a storm.
But that's cool you play soccer. I like soccer but I suck at playing it, no matter what, I just can't play it without falling down lol seriously. My gemini friend makes-fun of me too when I slip and fall but he does help alot ... but he's still a jackass.

Yeah, I don't mind intense weather. I'm pretty daring. And I'm three shades darker now too 🙂
Did you know that my one true love was a Cappy? I still remember her even though it's been 6 years ago and she's engaged to someone else now. Eh well, I wish the best.

OMG you were out there for that long?!!? Geezzz, next time use SPF 70 when you are out there that long, I do when I'm only outside for 2 hours. Are you sure you aren't a gemini? My gemini friend burns easily but yet he still goes out on the river without sunscreen. He says that it's 'just how he tans' hahahaha, whatever, he's red all over xD.
You were in love with a capricorn woman .....
awwww 🙂 Well, I better be careful with the 'awwww' because I don't know how things ended.

My gemini friend makes-fun of me too when I slip and fall but he does help alot ... but he's still a jackass.I actually play defender. It's one of the positions that requires the most energy, endurance, speed and stamina. You're always running fast for the full 90 mins, around 11 miles on average per game.

*Double* LOL!!! @ the energizer buddy comment now lol. You are the defender then you need all the energy you can get. I would so fall on my face doing that.
No, I'm not a Gemini. I'm a Pisces actually. I just like getting a little color I guess. I'm too light. Sunscreen has been proven to not do anything really (I even think it makes your chances of getting skin cancer higher if I"m not mistaken).
I have sensitive skin, so SPF 70 will breakout my face so I only use it on my body -- SPF 15 or 20 for the face, I'd prefer SPF 45 for my face because my skin is sensitive but OMG, it wrecks havoc on my face so I can't go high. I just feel better once I have it on, without, I feel as if the sun is cooking my skin and then I get a red and my skin looks dull and stuff.
Yeah yeah, I'm a baby 😛 whatever, I gotta have the SPF, it's a must. Your skin in tough, so you get take it, like that gemini buddy xD!
We even lived together for a bit, but I guess the dream was meant to shatter. It's OK, it was a sad ending but I recover from anything that life throws at me. I think she's the only Cappy I've been with.
OMG, see what I mean 😢
I think Cappies and Pisces are a better match than a Pisces and a Scorpio. I would definitely marry one to be honest. You ladies rock!
I think when it's the opposite gender, things are awesome, but you must watch it when you are dealing with the same gender lol. I do have a cool pisces gal buddy, she and I have fallen out with each other a few times, but she is so much older than me, and I'm so much younger, we can just get pass things like that I guess.
And thank you, but I tend to piss people off with me and I don't even know until it's too late so be forewarned 😛 hahaha, thank you, pisces guys are great but OMG, I have to hide from you guys sometimes. You all like to get into a girl's head way -- you know you do.
Forgive me, but I just heard this on the radio and I have to play it again. I LOVE THIS SONG.
Colby O'Donis has the best part 😄 ************************* *LOVE HIM*

Slavery was pretty much an accepted trade in the past. And it wasn't based on race alone. The conquering party held the invaded country as slaves. And that happened amongst europeans with other european people, African tribes held other smaller tribes as slaves, same thing with China, latin America, Aztecs and India ( caste system etc). These days the suppression takes on a different more subtle form. And just because the dynamics are not what you once read does not make it acceptable( for US to harbour terrorists and OK for them to use drones on other countries is another form of suppression. India using the AFSPA on North East people and kashmiri people to kill them on sight despite being Indian citizens for example. China's suppression of Tibet. Zimbabwes handling of the european descent farmers etc).The thing is we accept forms of suppression when our own people commit it on others because we see it as right even when in hindsight it would be wrong. when the suppressed fight back we name them "insurgents", "anarchists", "terrorists" or freedom fighters depending upon how badly we want to hate or like them. It doesn't make the inhumane acts committed by these people acceptable but the larger more powerful party's reaction to counter it is usually as violent but justified. History will be written differently than how we perceive it today. Our children will wonder why we tolerated some of the things we do today. Just like we wonder why our ancestors tolerated the things they did back then.
I agree but thats what i am saying. Nature or god did not send some one to be slave for others , he didnt make some one superior or inferior. I know slavery existed in past but what made it start? No men would have been happy to be a slave. Like you said the conquering party held the invaded country as slave. BUt what made one party conquere so much. Why were scientific developments happening in some part of the world and other continent remained 3rd world. I am just saying only if no tribe or countrymen would have let the others rule them by being strong and wise enough. WHen things start and expand its difficult to stop , the best way is to stop at the very begining. I blame the older generation to not stop it at the very begining.

^^^^^^ @cap
I agree with you 200% You know, its so funny that the previous generation and even a few of our own what to blame US for nearly everything that's going on right now and we were basically born into a mess already created. Alot of it is an extreme case of sour grapes if you ask me -- most (certainly not all, I say like maybe 70% ) of this generation is asking questions and actually implementing ideas that the ones over 50 or even the ones over 40 and didn't want to have anything to do with. There are 30 somethings, 20 somethings and even teenagers that are stuck in the stone ages but that's ok ^_^. they have that right but things are changing pretty darn quickly.

I AM BLACK AND I AM MOTHERFUCKING PROUD.SAY IT LOU😱 IM BLACK AND I AM PROUD.
The Black Proud Pyscho
Wouldn't that make you a "Black Supremacist"?
Be fair now...
click to expand
Reclusive scorpio...exactly how does the statement make me a black supremacist? Ignorance like the question you just asked annoys me. The KKK is supremacist, the Black Panthers are supremacist which means "My race is superior than yours". I never said I hate white people. My whole family is mixed, Im the darkest person in my family.
Plz Plz Plz read your history of study music appreciation before commenting. "Say it loud. I'm black and I'm proud" is a direct line from a historic song during a historic time in history. It was sung by the late James Brown who never married a black woman in his life. All his wives and women on the side were white women. That song is symbolize liberation from self-hate and racism. Its being proud of who you are. Not to highlight any type of supremacy or elitist thoughts. Its simply being proud in a time when racism was legal and justifiable.
So before you start throwing very slanderous statements around, check your history and read, think before you talk.
@cappysweetie thanks hun. i try to be sweet and caring. even though i can grow bitter. i burn easily too...this thread really took of.. i wish people were not so ignorant. we all bleed red...so we are all the same. living and breathing the same air. have the same dreams of freedom. all have the potential of being great. but people will remain ignorant. martin luther king was a great capricorn leader. i have the same values he did. i can get very inspirational lol.
^^ I'm glad I was able to see this before officially calling it a night. No better words were spoken and you are right, change comes slowly, not rapidly.

THAT'S IT! That's the connection -- actually traveling outside of your comfort zone and understand what's around you instead of what's in front of you. I'm soooo glad I grew up the way I did, by my own choosing that is lol. Thats exactly what separates social/ worldly opinions -- those have actually traveled to learn and those who just merely go on 'vacation'. *Rolls eyes* There's a huge difference between the two.
