Animal Kingdom of Race

Posted By Gabe - Mon, May 03 2010 at 8:56 AM EST

Think for a minute we are in the jungle before Babylon with all the concrete craze that is around you. Think that you are standing butt naked and there is two of you one black and one white and out of nowhere here come the gang (lion, tiger...& other) and they are hungry and they see this rare and well done soft delicious two jerks that hate each other but know if they unite they have a chance of getting out alive but on their ego driven individual ways no chance at all they will end up....

Question

Posted By Anonymous - Mon, May 03 2010 at 8:50 AM EST

Here's a question why arn't humans on the list of cute things that can kill you? We are animals annd we can kill and some of us are cute.

ANIMAL CRUELTY

Posted By Lisa - Mon, May 03 2010 at 3:10 AM EST

Why are you showing this? Are you trying to badmouth these animals so that animal cruelty and abuse can happen to them? Primates are already treated in the MOST ATROCIOUS fashion, everything from being experimented, caged in zoos, exploited for entertainment and eatten. PLEASE SHOW POSITIVE IMAGES OF ANIMALS AND DON'T PROMOTE CRUELTY TO ANIMALS. THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR ABUSE. If the animals are dangerous, THEN STAY AWAY FROM THEM. USE SOME SENSE!!!

What!!!!?????

Posted By Anonymous - Sun, May 02 2010 at 11:33 PM EST

That baby oragutang is ******* ugly

Dangit!

Posted By Boop - Sun, May 02 2010 at 11:16 PM EST

It was my life dream to try to ride a moose, hug a cuddle fish, kiss a big cat, run with elephants, eat honey with grizzly bears, sleep in a wolverine den and scuba dive with a leapord seal! They are all just so CUTE! Now what am I going to do? I'm crushed! Augh!

we all people peace

Posted By nicesaying12 - Sun, May 02 2010 at 10:10 PM EST

I also thought I was reading about animals. I looked at all the pictures and read all the captions and did not see anything about politics or race or anything else. Did I miss something???
My boyfriend thinks the same with me. He is eight years older than me, lol. We met online via~ A g e g a p s in g l e s ~.~ c o m ~a nice place for younger women seeking older men, or older women seeking younger men, to interact with each other. ........
Here goes the caps again... Whoa, scary........ More

Cute?

Posted By Bubba - Sun, May 02 2010 at 9:23 PM EST

Is it just me, or did only 3 of these animals seem cute? The others are kinda ugly. Or is it one of those times when something is so ugly, it's cute? like bulldogs.

Cute Animals

Hey Tarkin, here you are on the computer telling other people to get off and enjoy the outdoors. What gives? Do as I say, not as I do????

Jkelly that is deep i agree

To Every Commenter

Posted By Just Move On - Sun, May 02 2010 at 2:37 PM EST

This was an article about cute but deadly animals NOT a prompt for a spew on racism. Yes, some black people are murderers and rapists, thiefs and drugdealers but so are some white people. Your skin color is not who you are. BTW if I've made any spelling or gramatical errors in this, please check your own comment for issues before telling me about mine.

Forgot the most important one

words

Posted By smart person - Sun, May 02 2010 at 1:12 PM EST

okay my comment about the "HATED WORD" was meant to show that according to the dictionary it doesn't mean black it means stupid ignorant uneducated fool. by reading these post it seems that its the young white ones that are taking this as a raciest comment and the African Americans(blacks) see it as it is. A word. the word is not racist it means stupid person. read **** and realize what the comment was before you call me a racist ***** for using the "FORBIDDEN WORD" MAYBE if it was used it.... More

Just the intro picture

Posted By Murball - Sun, May 02 2010 at 10:54 AM EST

Hey all! This picture is just the intro picture. There's some great photos to follow, along with some interesting tidbits on the right side of the photo.
Where have I heard it said? "To speak of evil is to give it power?"

....good morning, america!!!!!!........spaz is amazed at how easily folks can be manipulated.......post an off the wall comment and watch the fireworks...........it is so much fun to watch........stimulus, response......spaz just can't help it......once the whining starts....spaz just has to roll with it........truth be known, spaz doesn't care one way or another about racial issues....this country is going to hell in a handbasket and is going to fail...

AaawwwwwAAAAGGGHHH!!!!

Hey! Look everyone! A monkey... a cute little monkey. No... no wait! Don't scroll down to the comments section. It will waste at least 5 minutes of your time and make your day worse, not better. Trust me. And isn't that why you wanted to come here? To feel better? Just trust me on this one. Look at the pictures and don't bother with the comments. There's nothing in the comments that's relevant to what you see above, anyway.

Seriously. Just go to the next picture, and have a lovely.... More

Focus

Posted By Beth - Sun, May 02 2010 at 10:32 AM EST

I don't know why I torture myself by reading comments on the internet -on any site... Yahoo, YouTube, newspapers, and a multitude of other sites -as the result is always the same. There is usually little commentary about the article or issue at hand; instead, we find a platform for people to assert their hatred and political ideology in a way that is generally self-serving. It's OK to discuss politics and race when relevant to the issue you are commenting on, but it isn't OK to express.... More

I've read every comment - "This is for everyone"

Posted By T Pridge - Sun, May 02 2010 at 9:46 AM EST

I won't begin like many of you stating why you came here...I will say that in 2010 it pains me to see that so many bigoted people are so young! I weep for my children! Having never experienced what my ancestors had to endure, I think this kind of present-day racism is far worse because its underneath the surface...lurking...the people ("Spaz" and various "Anonymous") are making these comments are doing it on their computers...completely anonymous...cowards. No one sees them...and berating them.... More

i agree with "i've read every comment-this is for everyone"

Posted By beverly - Sun, May 02 2010 at 10:24 PM EST

People need to grow up and take what is giving to them. i do believe they are right about ALL of us being mixed with different things and there isn't any pure breeds out there any more. so if you are going to dish out bad comments then take the responsibility for your actions too. I also think if you can disrespect someone online then do it to their face or everyone will think you don't have the guts to do it and that is called being a coward.

I agree for he most part

Posted By sara - Sun, May 02 2010 at 10:10 AM EST

I agree with you that all of the racism is uncalled for, however, trying to say that it stems from the younger generations falsifies your arguments because you are also being inherently discriminatory. While you may view it as your generation is more open minded I think it all depend on your experience.

Racism

Posted By beverly - Sun, May 02 2010 at 10:30 PM EST

Racism isn't just with color...it also has to do with being a male/female, your religion or it could have to do with your outer looks like your clothes. If anyone has taken sociology or is taking it now they will learn a lot about the different kinds of racism out there. Take the class because you will learn a lot.

what the fu7@/????

Posted By rey - Sun, May 02 2010 at 8:29 AM EST

some of you kids posting these comments after a small informational article of cute animals that could kill you should be on this same list.cant act like youve been somewhere.dont have anything relevant to say ,cant spell,disrepect others .whether of your own race or not.please stay on the internet.behind closed doors.like your own little cage.but if you comeout .....omg i cant believe im saying this,.........into the real world believe me you will hurt.physically and mentally.so stay inside....

Okay Kent? You SERIOUSLY need to find a dictionary TT
You misspell a word every sentence. How old are you? Jeez.

Okay,

Posted By Anonymous - Sun, May 02 2010 at 4:41 AM EST

Why would you even say that? That's the racism that hurts others. I can't believe that you would say that. I wanted to see an article about cute but dangerous animals, and then I find this incredibly stupid comment that some bonehead thinks it's okay to put up. We're all human. Come on people.

Hello?

Posted By Wow - Sun, May 02 2010 at 4:27 AM EST

May I just remind you that we are all human. I can't believe anyone would say something like that. It's people like that who make the world worse, just by thinking that way. It's horrible.

ignorant people

Posted By Mo - Sun, May 02 2010 at 3:58 AM EST

How did this topic get changed from cute but deadly animals to ignorant people?

What reminds you of kids from your race!!!!grow up.Have you ever asked yourself why no African uses sunscreen to protect their skin? Mother nature did it for us.Am black and pround

Wow.

Posted By Angie - Sun, May 02 2010 at 3:51 AM EST

The fact that you can't properly spell Orangutan perfectly illustrates your lack of intelligence. That, and the fact that you not only had the thought that led to this comment, but you seemed to find it appropriate to post it. I'd be humiliated if I were to be associated with such a thing.
For shame.

Okay So Like, What The Hell Is Your Problem, This Is Supposed To Be About Cute And Dangerous Animals, But NO! Someone Had To Make A Racist Remark. Wth, All I Can Say Is I'm White, And I Know For A Fact That Black, Yellow, Or Blue (It Don't Matter) Your Perfect. We're All Human And Can Get Along. It's Not Hard. I Love Everybody. And I Won't Stand For This, Racism Is The Dumbest Thing Ever! I'm Only 14 And Even I Know That. Anyone Who Needs To Make Remarks About Colored Skin To Feel Better About.... More

mmhm, you certaintly have problems!

Posted By Anonymous - Sun, May 02 2010 at 4:32 AM EST

You are 14, you should have learned in english class by now that you do not capitalize EVERY word in a sentance, only the FIRST word and then in a title the IMPORTANT words (Cute and Dangerous Animals, not Cute And Dangerous Animals)...IN A TITLE. Yes, I'm using CAPS to show ANGER at the fact that you can apparently make simple sentances but don't know this simple rule of english which makes you look a lot less intelligent then the point of your post says you are.

Now, that aside, your post is.... More
