It's cool. I just thought you were posting four in succession to get up your post numbers, because they're all like, a sentence long. You do usually have insight and all, and you have valid points, I just wanted them in one long post instead of four. Anywho, feel free to disregard what I said earlier then.

O yeah, shit... this is my third post... I gotta stop doing that consecutive posting thing, I just forgot to put the reply for this one there in my previous post - I can see how that kind of thing could be annoying to people. No, post numbers do not matter that much to me - if I wanted to get a lot of post numbers I would post a lot of those one-line posts, and if I wanted popularity with that, I would spam all over the topics, especially in the general section, and not in the political section.

And dude, no, I wasn't offended at all from what you said before. I can see how this kind of thing gets annoying for people. It was reasonable. Don't sweat it.

Ok... I is not a racist person, but asnwer me this? Why is it that the Blacks of the community can have as many "all-Black" schools and churches and colleges and all kinds of other damn associations, but if the White folk were to even THINK about creating anything that was "all-White" there'd be hell to pay? 'Scuse me, but are you STILL ranting about the whole slavery issue? Leave the past behind, damnit!

Wow.. I have so many arguements and erks about this whole "White America" thing. I have one major peve (bigger than the all-Black associations!), and that's the fact that we, the natural born Americans, are EXPECTED to learn another language in our own damn country. I mean, can we going anywhere else in the world and expect them to know English? Hell no! Then why the f*&# do we need to know Spanish?! I swear, some Hispanic guy in FL once told me "Shame on you for not learning Spanish" when I asked for someone to translate my English into Spanish at a Cuban restaurant! GRR!

Dude... this is rich. I have to say that I totally agree with you.. (Right now, however, I think that the ppl here are beginning to hate me and my opinions) lol! ^.^

Hey man thats not cool and even if we go get someone elected do you know what the chances are that we will ever see a black president......slim.

But a black president isn't the only one who can do something good for a black community.

And kittie, the reason you have to learn Spanish is because of how widely it is used in the southwestern states. If you go down there and you know Spanish, there's millions more people to talk to.

Here in Canada, all english speaking people have to learn French, and francophones have to learn English.
But learning french is understandable, even if you don't live in a bilingual country. It's the international language.

This is an interesting thread and very resourceful, listening to your thoughts are intriguing at most......makes people think and wonder more about whats going on around....if people open there eyes a bit things will get better till then i dont know................

and that's the fact that we, the natural born Americans, are EXPECTED to learn another language in our own damn country.

Many people who speak Spanish in America are "natural-born" Americans.

I mean, can we going anywhere else in the world and expect them to know English?

Actually a lot of the world teaches their children English from an early age. I personally think everyone should be taught two languages from when they are born.

I can still make fun of it. Haha, your flag is a leaf.

at least we can draw out flag without wasting 2 hours.

if you want to laugh go see libya's flag

By the way, red white and blue are the union jack's colours

By the way, the USA pwnz canada.

Personally, I don't think that learning another language is a bad thing. I know 4 languages myself (well, 3.5, because I took French here in Canada only until grade 9, did not take any optional French credits, so I do not know so much about the language - I can count it as 0.5). It's not so bad, and can be very useful in the future for me, if I don't totally forget them.

Yeah, I agree about everyone learning two languages when they are born - one as the main one they communicate with (like English in an English-speaking province in Canada), and an extra one to come in handy when they grow up (like French in the same province). I know, for some people it sounds like a pain in the ass, but you never know, it may come in handy in the future.

I donno shit about Spanish, but yeah, I'm sure that there are some good Spanish speakers born in America, because Mexico's just down south.

kittie, what "all-black" schools or churches are you referring to?
The only reasont they would be all black is because they are situated in a predominately black area.
They can't refuse entry to whites, any more than predominately white schools can to blacks.

And about the flags, I don't care about whoever has the better-looking flag for their country. Every country has a flag that's probably good looking in their point of view, right? Long live the maple leaf!

And there's my second arguemtn... just how widely is English spoken around the world? So why is it we need to learn a language the isn't even the most commonly used language on this planet? -_-

English is very widely used. Not as many people around the world speak it, but the countries that do are very spread out (thanks you British Colonialism).

And Spanish can be very useful to you.
But think- what would you rather happen?
You go to Spain and get raped by some guy when you don't know Spanish...

OR

You go to Spain and get raped by some guy when you do know Spanish?

i only have one question Will this topic ever die?

p.s two days till level 10

You lucky bastard. I'm still 200 points away.

Aww poor Ted you'll get here soon and your like the only person I consider my friend on this site your like one of the first people to reply to this topic.

the USA pwnz all, don't state the obvious, it makes you look foolish

Yeah, English is the most widely spoken language and is used in so many countries as an international language to communicate with others. I think Chinese is the most commonly used - but used only in China, HK (part of China now, speaks Cantonese), Taiwan, and some other Asian countries - I forgot who else spoke Chinese. But still, any other language could just useful, even if it's not widely spoken - you never know who you could meet in the future or where you might go. Spanish could be useful - it's spoken in many countries (all countries except Brazil in South America, I think, not sure).

Anyway, this topic kind of strays away from our original topic. Should we keep talking about it until we stray into another topic, or concentrate on our original topic? You guys decide.

O yeah... I just became level 10 yesturday... it's not such a big deal for me anymore... doesn't make me feel more 1337. Just gives me some more voting power, that's it, and closer th the third secret. But I hated being stuck on level 9 because the pic was getting to old... damn... now I'm gonna be stuck on level 10... zzzzz

Sorry, Y. I feel like it lasts forever in transitions from level to level and rank to rank. Just keep going, bro.

Yeah, it does, especially after level 9. When you're in level 1-8, it should be much faster to switch between levels, because you need only 5 days between each level. When you reach level 9 and above... man it gets so boring... you have to wait like 50 days while depositing your points each day... zzzz... you you're still in what I call "the Golden Levels"... maybe they're not "Golden", but I liked it better when I used to be able to switch a level in every 5 days. Sure, I still prefer having more exp. points to be in level 10, but I wish level 9 and 10 were like those 5-day levels...

I've been at Level 9 for way too long. Argh. I made this account back in the day and let it sit for about 9 months before I bothered doing anything with it, before the Newgrounds interest came back.

Yeah, when I made Newgrounds my account in 2000, at the time when the grounds gold depositing system was different, I didn't deposit points for a while, and after I came back, the system was changed, and I had only 5 points left in my account :'(.

Simple things for most become painfully weird for instance say me a 18 year old black walk into a "Starbucks" I'm looked at all sort of ways its as if time stops. So basically what I'm saying is please White America give us a break we just wanna be accepted.

I have to agree with you. I am a white female and have seen these types of occurrences all to often. I was born and raised in Cali, and now livin' in Idaho - you can imagine the ignrance I see here. It's to the point it's almost laughable to here people talk about black people here - or, any other race ( including bi sexuals ). It simply amazes me that people can be so ignorant, however, on the same note it makes me feel so much above everyone else - a bigger better person if you will. I don't judge others and don't plan on doing so - to judge them I would then have to judge myself as well - and, not going there..lol.

Wish there was some way to close this gap to ignarance once and for all....

Well, this brings us back to the original subject of the topic. True, racism is the lowest level anyone can go. It sure does make them look very dumb in front of people who know better, doesn't it?

*Sighs* sadly most of the people that have this outlandish belief spread them to others i.e having kids and there kids grow upthinking this is ok because as kids your idolize your parents. This creates a cycle of ignorance thats hard to break up.
