    you should be thanking god that blacks are a minority in usa. If it was the majority, you'd be looking into ways to immigrate to europe or canada, so you can become minority again.

    If you don't believe me, look at countries with black majorities, and see how well they are doing on the global scale. South Africa used to be one of the world leaders and innovators. Since the veil was lifted, it has drifted into nothingness, a colossal ghetto in the middle of once prosperous civilization.

    I don't know how to take that, I almost don't want to reply because it'll go to deep, I can go too deep.

    Sterling is an old racist. There is not a single doubt about that. But for every Sterling, there is a old black man that hates them *******s.

    Old people will hate. Learn to be different.

    As for Beiber, that poor kid is so confused I wouldn't take anything he says seriously.

    : a group of people living in the same place or having a particular characteristic in common

    Is that so difficult?

    Are the black/arab/latin communities not smaller communities living inside a large community?

    For you suburb guys, are the "neighborhood watch" not a small community inside of a large community?

    Are detectives not a community inside a community of police officers?

    Are English Teachers not a community inside of a community of Educators?

    Are *******s/*****s not communities inside of a community of Boxing Fans?

    I know my ****, don't try to school me. It won't work.

    To the degree that they actually interact with one another as a group, yes. When you get into talking about millions of people who have never met, then you really can't call it a community in the sense you used it. It's commonly done, but it isn't correct.

    For example, you could refer to the English teachers' community, but you wouldn't want to talk about "leaders in the community of English teachers" because there aren't any. At the district level, you might be able to do that. At the national level, it would be stupid. However, English teachers by definition have a lot in common with each other in significant areas (i.e. they do the same thing for 8 or more hours each weekday). I guess you could say all Black people be black for 24 hours a day, but that isn't really something a person does.

    When you talk racial characteristics, it breaks down because the groups are too spread out. If you want to talk ethnicity, you could refer to the Chinese community in San Francisco or the Polish community in Chicago or the Irish community in Boston. But you wouldn't seriously talk about the Asian community in America, the White community in America, or the Black community, because those communities do not exist in a practical sense.

    In some areas here in North East Wisconsin, "leader of the white community" basicly means tougnest guy in the trailer park. Ha ha. Its ok folks, I can say that, I'm white lol. Enjoy your talk, sorry for butting in. I'm off to other topics ;)

    heh, believe it or not, this isn't hate. I don't hate a single race, I hate large groups within every race. This planet needs a cleansing, and skin color is not the defining factor.

    Schooling people who don't want to be schooled is kind of what I do, as an educator and a boxer :good

    When I say community, I'm also talking about from a societal view. Black kids are looked down upon and Chicago, the same way black kids are looked down upon in New York.

    From a societal standpoint, we are a community. Inside of America, we are all looked at the same, whether you want to admit it or not.

    This goes on in every county, across every state. Traditions are passed on as such and creates new ideas in the next generation's habits.

    Big picture, maybe we can't compare english teacher's on a district level to english teacher's on a national level, (I'm sure we could, but it would get more complicated the more we go up) but as far as races go, black is black, white is white, asian is asian, whether we're talking Cali, or we're talking New York. In that sense, we are a community.

    You're approaching the issue from the assumption that a person is who they are. A better way of looking at it would be that a person becomes what they do. It's kind of liberating when you think about it, though you don't get to spend as much time feeling sorry for yourself just because you think that people think bad things about you.

    In other words, if you hang out with the black kids in your school (all of them) and do things together, then you can refer to the black community in your school. It's a reach to identify yourself with the black community as a whole, because for all intents and purposes there isn't one on a practical level. It's totally conceptual, and a shaky concept at that.

    To be honest, I don't feel bad for myself. I came up the hard way. If I had felt sorry for myself my entire life, I wouldn't be where I am. I wouldn't be in college. I'd be chilling infront of the store all day like a lot of my old friends. I always tell people that we aren't the product of our environment, but the sum of our accomplishments. I live by that. But to ignore that all this **** exists is ignorant. To brush it off, and to be okay with something you've been fighting against your whole life is not okay.

    Do you imagine the community of obese people spends their lives fighting against the negative stereotypes that some people have toward them?

    I wonder who they look to for leadership.

    That's unrealistic, and by definition that's not a community. That would be more of a club, or a fraternity, not a community.

    But don't they all share the characteristic of being overweight?
