When one is in America, say a super market and certain things happen… and you write about it and someone immediately attacks and denies… as if it’s not possible.

Also what I found…

I had written an item about something and mentioned Keisha was at the front desk. A black American woman instantly attacked me saying that Black women wouldn’t be at the front desk of a 5 Star Hotel.

Duh

I think that racism means that Belief in the superiority of one race over another; discrimination against an individual or group of people, based on racial background, usually colour.

Main causes of racism
Children get prejudice from their parents and peer groups. Racism is learned. We are not born with it.
Ignorance and Fear: People fear things they do not know much about, e.g. coming into contact with people who have different customs, language or appearance, they might express their anxiety through racism.

Bullying: People make themselves feel better by picking on a person or group they feel are weaker than them. Sometimes, we all want to feel we belong to an “in group” and “hate” those not in “our group”.
Poverty and unemployment: Racism can form in areas of poverty or unemployment. People look for someone to blame: “Pakistanis are buying our corner shops, foreigners scrounge our benefits!”

minorities are often given poorer housing, inferior education, not given a job or promotion. Many cities have ‘ghettoes’ where the majority of residents are ethnic minorities with poor living conditions and high unemployment. Recently the police was found to be guilty of institutional racism.

The Stephen Lawrence case saw five white youths get away with the murder of a black boy because of the way the police handled the case. Other countries have seen the worst sort of racial violence, with millions of people killed in genocide (an attempt to wipe out a whole race of people), particularly in Rwanda and Bosnia but also in other racially-motivated disputes around the world.

The problem is when people don’t see their prejudice.

WOW! I am amazed at your praise of this man and I have a totally different point of view. I was not impressed with his visionary leadership at all and didn’t think he was all that extraordinary. That’s not to say he did not do anything good FOR THE PEOPLE! He did some good thing. But on his report card for an overall grade he gets a “D” in my book. Yep. He just barely passed.

I will say one thing though. When it came to building a good relationship with Cuba, America dropped the ball. Kennedy and/or his foreign policy advisors or both missed a golden opportunity. The island of Cuba is a pearl in the Caribbean! We could have had a mutually beneficial relationship and I don’t blame Castro that it did not work out. America was the bigger country and had a significant place on the world stage. America should have stepped up to the plate and came up with a way to make the relationship work!

Nevertheless, Obama tried to make a change for the better. Let’s hope the President Elect follows through and does make things better. I went to school with Cubans and there is a lot the people and culture have to offer. I don’t see any reason why the two countries can’t get along. The USA screwed up 50 years ago. We should try again and get it right time time!

good article about cuban hero..

HOMELAND
Was starting to get into it and just as quickly got annoyed with it. Don’t know whatever happened because it was on cable TV and we stopped subscribing to cable.

THE FALL
Never heard of it! (O.o)

QUANTICO
Very disappointing show. The flashbacks are super annoying! My husband only watches it because he like Priyanka Chopra.

With Homeland, I forced myself to watch it… as soon as Brody was out… so was I. The Fall is British. It’s the tracking of a serial killer. The Police Officer is as horrible as he is so I stopped watching. Priya is nice to look at, but if I watch I’ll hate her.

Indeed you selected the right option. We must learn to be happy and enjoy every incident of life. It is not so difficult but requires some sort of practice. We must be perfect in this art that is going to change our life.

Being positive with things coming in our life is a key to make us happy.
To be happy is not difficult, and yes it is. Only we can not feel happiness if we always look into those problems. We must deal with struggles positively, and we’ll feel true happiness.

I do too. I stay away from miserable people or those who see the worst.

It’s not a day America likes to remember. For me the saddest part is the huge question mark that’s plastered all over the pages of America’s history. Who killed John Kennedy? We have had other presidents who were assassinated. But we know who did it! Kennedy’s wife and son have both gone to their graves not knowing the answer. It’s more depressing than the assassination itself because if the highest official never got closure over a matter that sent him to his grave, how can ordinary citizens think there’s “justice for all”. We want to believe in the ideal. But our own president didn’t get justice. For all intents and purposes, his murder case is still unsolved.

The Most Important Memorable Moments

This is a sarcastic piece. It is written about an actor I know who has faded into oblivion. He’s a born failure do to his attitude and behaviour.
I was sharing what not to do.

Without failure there can never be a success, failure therefore comes before success because all those who succeded in all fields of life failed many times. Failure therefore is not bad by itself. Failure becomes failure when one fails to act on a shortfall they face in their life.

This is true unless the person has you restricted from seeing certain posts they make. You can limit the audience to your facebook account. I have done this plenty of times. If I don’t want someone seeing something then I will place them in my restricted list or I will make the post only where certain people can see it. Not hard.

it was an easy way to see they were not who we thought they were. They tipped their hand. They proved they were dishonest.

Maybe. Maybe not. I can understand you giving your opinion about it but that’s only what it is your opinion. ADHD and ADD are being used too much on children that actually don’t have it, that part is true but those that actually do have it may need a way of doing things differently than other students. A child can have a learning disability and never get diagnosed. They can then turn into adults that struggle through life finding it hard to find and keep a job. So I wouldn’t call all diagnoses fake.

Put it like this, if you grew up in the 50s there were none of these diagnosis. No one had it. If you go to a 3rd World Country, (not the rich areas, the common ones) no one has it. No one has any of these maladies.

I agree with everything you said, however, I did not get the full message you are bringing on board. There are so many details lacking which are capable of addressing the issue if one works under boss from hell.
For example: one can be given an appointment letter detailing every bit of the work to done. However, working in the same company for couple of times, you realize that the whole job description given you has changed and time of closing shifted far beyond expected.

You realize that day in day out your boss has new task which he or she always wait till the last minute when you are about to close from work.

And even, times where you have to concentrate doing something for yourself, he brings item on board which you only have to be responsible for.

The worst aspect of working with such a boss is, he is quick to criticize and praise less or no praise at all.

He focuses on himself most of the time when it comes to training on the job.

And there are more talk about unending and I hope your article could articulate in these aspects.

All in all you did well.

It was, on reflection, not as much of a job as a chance for him to exercise his narcissism. To have an audience.

I have tried not to hate him, but it is not easy.

What has Donald Trump got to do with dining out? LgrinL

Well, you are right about wanting to know what a dish contains specially those dishes that have fancy names.

That is my view. Why care? If you can’t change it, walk away. If you can, do it.

An angry man is a mad man any day. One should be able to control is anger. The strongest man is he who is able to control is anger however the weakest man on earth is he who cannot control is anger. The reason the world is in the state it is today (war everywhere) is because some people were unable to control their anger at some point in life of this world. That is my humble submission.

Anger is the fume of depressed soul and its expression appears on human mind in shape of anger in practical field. Anger is a natural human emotion, and it’s not always negative. It can help you know when you’ve been hurt or when a situation needs to change. It’s important to learn how to process and react to your anger.

Frequent feelings of anger have been linked to higher risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, depression and difficulty sleeping. This is especially possible if you experience highly explosive anger or your anger is extremely repressed. Fortunately, you can learn to understand, process, and release your anger in healthy ways.

When you’re feeling angry, doing some moderate exercise could help you. A study by the University of Georgia suggests that moderate exercise (such as running or riding a bike) during or immediately after an upsetting experience can help you manage the experience of anger.

When you exercise, your body releases endorphins, which are natural “feel-good” chemicals that make you feel more positive and happy. If you’re unable to run or ride a bike, consider walking, stretching, and other easier forms of exercise.
