How aren't we the same?

dddavis @dddavis (8) • United States 14 Jun 09

Why do people of other race look down upon those that aren't their color? Why can't I walk down the street or the airport with a bhindi on my forehead without getting stares and rude comments said to me? Why is that when you see a...

Cherokeepainter I could ask the same question. Why were my ancesters murdered and called savages? I think all in all, people follow their lead. Who is leading the people? Who is causing the races to be segregated in the first place? Children live what they learn and if "the...

Citychic @Citychic (4067) • United States 14 Jun 09

Cherokeepainter I'm new here so I haven't had that experience but now that I know it's possible, I'm thinking i'll just lay low on the friend department for a while. I've been in yahoo groups and people would do me that way. Writing ridiculously long emails and then expect me...

Cherokeepainter At some point in the firendship, each and every one of my friends betrayed me until I had none. Girls will do just about anything for a guy and get so catty over everything. I would just rather do without the drama and the hurt feelings. Sometimes I wish I had...

Cherokeepainter Dreams can feel so real. I have often woke from a dream and felt just like it was true. It's usually coming from a fear you have in real life. Maybe some insecurities. Sometimes I begin to feel like my husband deserves better than me and even though it's a...

Cherokeepainter I'm a mother of three and I wouldn't say it's a must but an added reassurance to the daughter that grandma is there if she has questions. Too much interference is considered an intrusion to some young mothers who are very territorial over their new baby. It's...

Cherokeepainter I also believe in angels. I think I might've saw mine one night when I was little. I was really sick and I didn't have the strength to get out of bed to go tell my dad so I just prayed that God would send an angel to take me to heaven because I was afraid to...
