Definitely prefer Mac over windows and I never use Internet explorer it’s too buggy and always ends up with issues. I stick to Mozilla firefox or Google Chrome on Windows or Opera or Safari on MAC.

interesting! I like ladies fingers but only the way that the indians prepare it so it is not slimy at all and tastes delicious.

It’s a shame that so many people are suffering and dying of cancer. All this money has been pumped into cancer research and after so many years they continue to kill people with their treatment with no avail. There is already a cure for cancer but unfortunately it’s not something that the FDA can approve because it is natural and hence the reason a cure has not been discovered because they can’t patent an apple or a carrot. All we need is to detox and flush our bodies with the correct nutrients and our bodies will be healthy and happy to deal with whatever ailments we have on it;s own. Our bodies are meant to heal itself naturally.

The points put forward by Xenia is very noteworthy and I totally understand and agree with that. I think black people (generally, though I don’t like generalising) use the race card as an excuse for not achieving anything when they choose to compare themselves to that of the other races. The past should remain in the past as the experiences of those times were not our own. We need to live in the present and make our own experiences. The problem starts with the family structure. Here in the UK all the races have their issues and excuses for not achieving greatness and find everyone and everything to blame. In the UK quite a few whites are on benefits with kids having kids and doing nothing useful with their time on this planet. That has nothing to do with their colour but to do with their family, upbringing, morals etc. We are all capable of achieving whatever we want but we need to aspire to be more and so become that. Nowadays the racial lines are growing very thin because majority will end up being mixed as there are a lot more inter-racial marriages and relationships than there was in the past. Hopefully we will be able to move on from racism and stick to human-ism. Humans are very judgemental and we put ourselves as well as others down for various reasons and then blame it on race/colour or religion or parents or environment etc. etc. etc. We are all able to be whatever we want to be within our own beliefs of success. The issues come when we try to compare one to the other not realising that success comes within the hierarchy of our own set of values starting from the highest and working down. For one the highest value may be marriage and family while another’s highest value may be career and money. The family person may thing they have not achieved because they may have given up a career for family not realising that within their hierarchy of values in terms of success their highest value is family. We all need to get over racism and prejudices

I am certain that every race and/or nationality are by nature proud. That is, one is proud to be Irish, Jewish or Asian. In big cities in America, like London, where there is a more racially mixed population, the distinctions are more obvious.

We say that Jamaicans or the average Caribbean or African national is hardworking and ambitious. We use this also to describe the Asians. However, this is not the case with the black American population. It seems as if the expectations are different. When a black American achieves some great feat (not athletic or entertainment) there is much made of the accomplishment. Almost as if it’s not expected it’s the ‘one that made it.’

While your views may be different based on history, how much does this actually affect an entire generation’s progress? Does the average West Indian or African refer to their past when excelling in school or ‘climbing the ladder of success’ in an attempt to live the American dream of home ownership, etc. Does the Asian child insist on owning $180 designer sneakers instead of learning to save?

Again, I refer to the institution of family. I guess that’s where I lay blame. The things that I will place as important in my life will more than likely become important to my child. If I place education and fiscal responsibility as important, more than likely my children will follow suit.

In London I find that most black people are not as progressive as in other societies like the USA or the Caribbean where there was real struggle. Black Africans and Caribbean nationals appear to be far more forward moving than black British nationals. I think we teach our kids in the Caribbean to be proud of themselves and Africans has that kind of thinking as well. I am sure many black Americans think the same way. I must question how our different histories of struggle and fighting for freedom has affected our view of the world and our role in these different societies.
