i personally have never experienced a hispanic person being brought up into a culture outside of their own but if i've seen asians and caucasians first hand being brought up in black neighborhoods and black culture i know that this can apply to anyone. In other words, a black person being brought up in a white neighborhood being only exposed to white culture, don't blame the race, blame the culture. Why haven't i seen anyone refer to anderson silva as being black? Well it's because brazilian culture fully embrace the people of their country as a whole. lyoto machida is another example whom everyone refers to as being brazilian although he's really half japanese, why isn't america the same?
obviously there's issues regarding finger pointing here in the states when it comes to racial issues. It can get so bad that the "race card" gets drawn and that is a shame. A lot of things can change as decades and decades go by but no need to be deterred by the shitt that goes on. No need to get caught up in the neighborhood you were forced to be born in raised in. If you're happy, then great. Not only are there many different states to move to, there is what's called the passport that you can get as an american citizen. It pays to stay out of trouble so that you have the ability to explore all the different cultures the world has to offer who welcome the person with a passport from the usa with open arms. i hope soon that we don't come down to blaming the "mexicans" or the "blacks" rather just blame it on the culture. Have you ever known hot white girls who will only date black guys? How about hot asian girls who will only date white guys? I've seen it and heard it all. It goes so far down the line that i've seen old men in their 50s and 60s get married to hot women in their early 20s. And maybe this doesn't happen in the states as much but like i said, world culture is to be respected. That's your problem if you can't obtain a passport because of a stupid arrest you had when you were 19 years old. And for you younglings, just goes to show you to STAY OUT OF TROUBLE. Take it from me and be patient.
So you got a small penis? You fat and ugly? You ain't white and good looking? Don't worry about it. Open up your mind and stop being mad bro. So you're black and you've never been able to get that white girl that you've wanted? Trust me it don't matter! This is a little off topic but the best looking white girls i've ever seen really embrace black men in las vegas, nevada. Open up your eyes and your mind. Visit other states and experience the different cultures in america. Even montreal quebec in canada i've got to say might be one of the better places that accept people of all different ethnic backgrounds. Same could be said about vancouver and toronto also but i could be wrong.
I don't know what it's like going to wildwood high school in wildwood crest, new jersey but leave frank vogel alone. If he can coach a team this deep into the playoffs, obviously his culture and upbringing are well respected by a predominantly black team in that of the indiana pacers. If frank vogel was fake in any way shape or form, i guarantee you that david west would have punched him at least once by now being that he has trained in the past as a boxer.
I may not be proud of what a republican party has to offer and i might not be proud of what a democratic party has to offer. But i am grateful to be born and raised in the usa, the 50 states, and what the american passport can do for me. Thank you.

why does adrian peterson care about gaay marriage so much to make a statement about it? No need to wait and see if your own kids roll with the gaay lifestyle if it ever came to that. What if adrian peterson had a daughter who was open to dating and marrying any man who wasn't black?
Poor adrian peterson needs to open up his mind and realize the state he was born and raised in is very conservative and not gaay friendly. Why am i bringing this up? Like i said, blame the culture, not adrian peterson.

Scalabrine, just because you didn't understand it doesn't mean that the TS's opening post didn't have merit. In fact it had more merit than 90% of what you spew on here.

A rambling OP which goes in circles several times and ends up being a hexagon of mangled blurbs.
Have the mods pull it and rewrite it with much more focus.
whenever i open up a thread and cannot relate to it or understand it, i just move on to something else that might be worthy of a reply. Sometimes i say oh well this such and such guy is mad from losing, he's drunk etc, and i move on. What part of any of my sentences don't you understand? If i thought an op was rambling in circles and hexagons, with a wide open mangled jaw i'd leave them alone. What if i was a retarded person with down syndrome and i had to give an acceptance speech at the podium for an award that i won and you couldn't comprehend what i said, are you going to stand up in the middle of the crowd and tell someone to reorganize my speech because i can't put sentences together?
scalabrine, if you can't relate, then you can't relate. I must say that i have not been able to understand why you get a lot of hate on here. When i come across some of your entries on this site, it has made me think that it's possible that your iq might be higher than mine at say 120. For me i am about average at about 100. On a bad day i can get down to 90 and a good day i can get up to 108 maybe. The reason why i don't ask people for cliffnotes upon your replies is because i have respect and i have reserve. Although i've had a question in my mind about the guy on covers named scalabrine and why a lot of times i'm silent after you speak, i know how to carry on. So you want a mod to pull the thesis that i wrote for a final exam and have someone else do my homework for me? What's wrong with you giving me a "F" and then carrying on? I don't know what part of the country or state that you've been born and raised but i don't appreciate you bombing my thread.
Do i expect each and every single person to have a reply to what i said? Absolutely not. Obviously my thread title peaked your interest enough but it's better that you carry on. Racism doesn't have to be about black and whites, it can cross over to a lot of things that you would have never imagined.

Your title and some of your musings reek of a post-racial society which is utterly preposterous and virtually nothing in the empirical world supports it.
It is fairy tale, a pleasant fiction of sorts for those who deny what their eyes behold, or what their hearts desire for a future likely never to come.
Good day sir.

ok, so according to you, my title and some of my musings reek of a post-racial society. It is utterly preposterous and virtually nothing the empirical world supports it. It is a fairy tale, a pleasant fiction of sorts, and i deny what my eyes behold and my heart desires for a future likely that will never come.
according to your post #8 you stated that not only do i ramble, but i go in circles and draw hexagons with it. I even made it a lot worse by saying i speak with a mangled jaw basically.
If the above is true which is according to you, why feel the need to call upon the mods or anyone to translate? Why have you come back a 2nd time to reassert yourself? Wouldn't it feel great if a guy with down syndrome acknowledged to you that you have an IQ of 120?

Apologies
I also never said you speak with mangle jaw. But given that, you have more to offer than 95% of the posters here, I just disagree with your title and OP, as I do most here, if not everyone at times.

We pick our friends and spouse based on things like race-religion-sex-weight-height-looks-wealth-intelligence-etc.
What makes me laugh is when people think one is any worse than another. Most of that has to do with how it impacts each individuals life.
People as a whole want acceptance ...people need to learn tolerance and realize that the things mentioned above don't determine whether someone is good or bad. How people behave does that.

Because of Chris Kluwe's open support for happy marriage, etc., pretty much every other Viking of note has been asked about it.
It's so stupid. Kluwe has a right to do what he is doing if he feels that strongly about it, but who cares what AP thinks about happy marriage?

I find it hilarious. Everyone has their thoughts on subjects such as happy marriage.....is an athlete's opinion going to change anyone's mind? NOT! Completely worthless waste of everyone's time.

ok so maybe i softened you up a little bit about the down syndrome thing and maybe your favorite show back in the day was Life Goes On. It might not be that bad of a thing if corky can make it right? nah, i really don't have a mangled jaw with down syndrome. Your post in #11 really blew me away with your vocabulary usage and sentence structure, all of a sudden you made me realize i might be worse than anyone with down syndrome. What if i'm really a cross-eyed retard and you're IQ is not really 120, it's 130!

When it all comes down to bottom of things, yes, nobody really cares what adrian peterson thinks. But in the heat of the moment of the conversation, i felt like throwing not 1, but 2 pennies towards him while using him as an example here.
What a great story he was last year coming off of major knee surgery, for him to do as great as he did, that is something special. lets see how many more great seasons that he can get.

I don't plan on taking an IQ test of any kind because I don't need to.
IQ tests are completely arbitrary measures that feed egos bigger than a blue whale, never to be satiated.
There are multiples 'intelligences' for which an IQ test fails miserablely at measuring.

it's one thing when say a girl who is looking for a mate only wants to date a guy with blonde hair and blue eyes. i don't have a problem with this. It's just another thing when a boss won't hire black people because when he was younger he got beat up by a black gang. I understand that these occurrences can traumatize ones life but it's not an excusse to not be able to look at any other black person's eyes and not shake his hands.
And speaking of these women who will only date another man with blonde hair, blue eyes, or won't even date their own kind etc, for anyone to call her a "racist" is also totally out of line especially if she's open to having all types of people with different ethnic backgrounds as friends and co-workers.
It's like for me personally as an example, i know how armenian people can be. I don't know them 100% but i know enough about them. But if i come across another armenian person next week, i don't need to hold my guard up for them to see. Yes i'll know their tendencies but i'll treat them like any new person and give them the benefit of a doubt. Innocent till proven guilty to anyone that is. It's still very mind-boggling to me how the last time i checked the LAPD website and seeing how many armenian guys were locked up.

as stewie griffin would say on family guy "why you so serious?" yeah iq tests are no big deal to me but it sure does seem like a lot of people on here get peaked on the interest of it.
Basically what i was saying was that you show a lot of depth in your outlook, depending on the subjects at hand, not saying i agree with everything or anything but i can sometimes appreciate people who can argue with #Intelligence.
