This happened because slave masters and workers of the plantation owner were able to rape african women who ever they chose. The native amercian ancestry came upon because obviously the WHOLE UNITED STATES being indian land those where the majority of the people their being in the same conditons as african people having to ...

  • Comment on White People with Dreadlocks by carmel
    I'm just going to say this-because this could go on forever-if all life started in Africa then maybe Caucasians embeing the most far removed from their ancestors /emwhich are our ancestors, are just always trying to get back what they feel they have lost. because what else explains it? i mean it's not just hair, it's tanning, music, dancing, slang and just full on taking credit for black achievements. and lets not forget the Europeans in ...

  • Comment on White People with Dreadlocks by Jamal
    I honestly don't like it when white people have dreadlocks, not out of racism, just because it seems ingenuine and like they see it as a hairstyle. It really started as a lifestyle.

Whereas blacks imitated white hair, it was because of 400yrs of oppression and trying to fit in with them, you can't compare that to white people trying to piss ...

HE CAN GET AN ATTRACTIVE NON-WHITE GIRL, BUT IF HE STAYED IN WHITE TOWN HE WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO DATE HIS EQUAL (THAT BEING A 3), HE DOSE NOT WANT HIS EQUAL SO HE SELFISHLY MIXES WITH OTHER RACES TO GET W...

  • Comment on A White Woman Explains Why She Prefers Black Men by Rraine Selek
    I have to say I agree with the writer and Anne. I have only recently started dating a black man, and I personally find it has been a much healthier relationship than any of my previous relationships with white men. Or my ex husband who was Turkish. I did not go into the relationship lightly and it has caused some conflict in my very Southern family, but ultimately, he treats me very well, treats my son better than his own father does, ...
