What is the most annoying word that us Americans have created? Do you agree that the word app is overused and has become extremely annoying?
Why do all Americans copycat new words and phases that originate from large corporations and use these stupid words so much that society just accept these stupid words (e.g., techie; app; cert. etc.)?
The unnecessary shortening of words, and the unnecessary copycat culture of the U.S.A. is just awful
2 AnswersWords & Wordplay4 years agoMy ID has a star in the upper-right corner and is federally-compliant. Will MEXICAN Immigration accept my REAL ID card?
I know that I will NOT have an issue coming back to the U.S. But I do NOT want to come back to this country. I just want to know if MEXICO will accept it if I ride the Greyhound bus from U.S. to Mexico City.
Or do I have to say in..... AMERICA :-( ...... for another 2 to three weeks and wait for a passport to come in the mail?
Please only answer if you have experience with walking across the border (Think El Paso-Ciudad Juarez) or riding a bus across the border. I know that riding in a car is a totally different experience.
Don't ask me why don't have my passport yet because that's not your business. Either answer the question or pass me by -oh-gentle-savior.
Here is my plan:
Ride the Greyhound bus from Denver, Colorado to El Paso, Texas, get off the bus and ride a cab from the bus station to the border. Next, I will Get out of the cab, walk myself and my belongings across the border over into Ciudad Juarez, catch a cab to the Omnibus center and purchase a ticket to Mexico City.
Will this work or will the bus get stopped by immigration checkpoint officials and question me for a passport, refuse to accept my Colorado I.D. and tell me I have to go back to ..... Amerikkka?
Gosh, I hope I can get there without waiting for a passport; I am ready to leave.... LIKE YESTERDAY!
Please forgive my typos and grammatical errors; I am in a rush and do not feel like proofreading.

1 AnswerImmigration4 years agoWhy do white people feel that they have the authority to say that racism does not exist in this country we call AmeriKKKa?
Cops are the worst.
Do you ever walk down the street and see about 80 percent or more of white people who pass by in their cars and give you a nasty look like, "what is this no good n1gg3r up to. I bet is just robbed someone. He's probably listening to his rap music?"
Firstly, I have disliked rap music, with VERY FEW exceptions, since I was a kid. Secondly, while those old coons were foolishly ASSuming that I was listening to rap music, I was ACTUALLY listening to either some 1920s and 1930s blues (Ma Rainey, Bessie Smith, Lucille Bogan etc.), jazz (Ray Charles), maybe some Marvin Gaye, Joseph Haydn, Mozart, Aaliyah (R.I.P to her and all others I have names who have deceased already), The Bee Gees, Dianna Ross's Upside Down or some other music that AmeriKKKa swears up and down young black men don't listen to.
How sickening!
If you are white, then of course the answer is 'NO.'
I know that you are probably going to revert to calling me and ugly ****** who needs to go back to Africa. But please, I am not talking to you, I am talking to the educated white people, the democrats.
Not you Trumpanzees (this term was coined by a white democrat, not me)!
1 AnswerOther - Cultures & Groups4 years agoWhy do white people DENY that white privilege exists? They rely on calling us violent and uneducated. How can they be so evil?
They also say, "Bull-ish there are plenty of white people living in poverty so white privilege can't exist."
(PLEASE! Give me a thousand breaks)!
Here is my response to that idiotic comment:
If these same white people who are poor get get pulled over by a cop they can expect to live. But let me get pulled over. Even with full cooperation, and my hands on my head I better have made sure I have said my last goodbyes to my loved ones, including my online Chinese students who I teach from home!

3 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups4 years agoCan I use my Enhanced Driver's license to Move to cross into Mexico and go to Mexico City without a passport?
I have read about the Western Travel Initiative and that only addresses entry back into the U.S. That is not what I care to know about. Instead, I am only interested in knowing if Mexico currently accepts Enhanced Driver's Licenses that comply with the aforementioned initiative.
Also, I am planning to move to Mexico City, so that is far beyond the border cities, which seem to have less restrictions than cities that are beyond the 12-mile limit.
I am planning to make this move the La Cuidad de Mexico (Mexico City) by Greyhound bus from Denver Colorado using online my REAL ID Enhanced Driver's License (it has a star in the upper right corner of the card).
Will I be allow to continue my travel? Why do I have no passport? I just have been so busy doing other things that I just kept putting it off. Then on the day that I did go to post office to apply I came too late AND I mistakenly let my birth certificate at home. I was taken aback with fury and angst.
Immigration4 years agoIn American media (e.g. TV commercials; magazines; websites etc.) why are 9 out 10 people white and there is only ONE black person?
I understand that you want us Angolan-Americans (Yes, this black American knows his ancestral roots and ethnic heritage), Mexicans, Native Americans, Haitians, Koreans, and everyone is not considered Caucasian to think that we unimportant and not many of us constitutes of the American population, which is not only a lie, but this is also not cool.
Ever since I was about 19 years old (I turned 19 in June of 2009) and was in the U.S. Air Force here in Colorado I started noticing that in most American media outlets, especially in the commercials, there is always about 10 lily white people for every one black, well caramel-brown since you all feel like dark skinned blacks are not worthy to be portrayed in AmeriKKKan media, person.
Do you think that his is not hurtful or noticeable? Would it really hurt you to portray other ethnicities or does is hurt your white supremacist pride?
~Online English teacher with 51Talk
If I have made any typos or grammatical errors, please forgive me as I do no feel like proofreading before submitting this question.
Please don't get your feelings butt hurt just because I am talking about a real issue in this county. If all you've go is "stop pulling the race card" all I can say is that is not NASCAR so cut the bull-ish.
All jokes aside, this is a serious concern of mine that I would like for AmeriKKKa to address. Thank you.
I know that YOU in particular are NOT responsible for the lack of equal representation in the media. Thoughts? Answers?
3 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups4 years agoAm I the only black male who is VERY HAPPY that Hitler, sorry, DUMP, er, SKUNK, er Trunk is the president of this racist country?
He has already brought so much shame and embarrassment on Amerikkka and I found it astoundingly hilarious!
I m moving to the fabulous city of Mexico City next month where I will no longer have to deal with white people looking at me like, "you ******."
So no more, well, not AS MUCH, racism, not as much (if any at all) homophobia. I must admit that that being that the United Mexican States is prominently catholic so I may have to deal with annoyances of religious people trying to get me to believe that a sky god named Jehovah and Jesus, a man who existed some time ago, is in the sky riding bumper cars and are singing, "hallelujah: with a billion white angles and a lion named Judah! Pah-lease (please) GIVE ME A THOUSAND BREAKS). I can t believe I used to believe that crap.
Anyway, the point I am making is that it won t be as bad as the Ununited States of AmeriKKKa.
I am an online English teacher with 51Talk and the Philippines is paying me $15 dollars an hour to teach Chinese students how to speak English all from the comfort of med bedroom. AmeriKKKA would never offer such a position. SCREW this country I live in (for now). OOH! I can t WAIT until next month.
Viva la Mehico (Mexico)!
5 AnswersReligion & Spirituality4 years agoWhy is it that in most of the USA's TV commercials 96 Percent (P/C) of the actors are ALWAYS Caucasian and the other 4 P/C are HALF black.?
Are you racist white people that afraid of representing other races (e.g., fully blacks, Chinese, Mexicans, Native American Indians, Jamaicans, Haitians, Japanese, etc.)? You racist white people are cruel. But don't worry, I'm leaving YOUR (haha!) country for Mexico City next month. And this black male online English teacher, who makes $15 dollars per hour, WILL let the door hit me on the way out? Why, you say? Because I am ready to get the hell up out of AmeriKKKa.
4 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups4 years agoAre you smart enough to leave America for Mexico (City, preferably) or would you stay here and accept the overpriced rent, racism etc?
I am so happy that I am moving out of this country that's called the United States of AmeriKKKa. This country is so bad and thanks to the police and smart phones it has become more apparent, even transparent, just how much it would behoove me to quickly desert this cesspool. Ya'll can keep paying the high prices here. I'd rather pay $250 per month for a 2 bedroom apartment below the border rather than $700 for a one bedroom above the border.
You can also keep dealing with the undercover, institutionalized racism here. Mexicans are NOT like these stuck-up, higher-than,thou, upper-crust AmeriKKKans.
Now wonder why there are so many Americans, Canadians, and Britons living in Mexico City. Passport tomorrow. Greyhound bus next month. AmeriKKKa, History!
VIVA LA MEXICO!
Now before all of you racism pigs start shouting out your regular replies (e.g., stop pulling the race card; go fix your community and stop killing each other; you're a dumb and uneducated n1gg3r; go back to Africa; don't let the door hit you on the way out; ect) let me say this:
If by calling out AmeriKKKa's racism means that I am "pulling a card" then I guess calling a robber 'a robber' is pulling the thief card.
Also, I am not responsible for crimes and horrendous acts committed by other other people; I am only responsible for my own actions. How can you tell me to go and fix problems in "my neighborhood" (i.e., the ghetto; Chicago) when I do NOT live there AND, again (THERE's MORE) ....
4 AnswersMexico City4 years agoDear uncle Tom (i.e. any black republican), how can you join a party that supports racism, sexism, homophobia, xenophobia, Islamophobia etc.?
Yes, decades ago the republican party had different views and ideals about society but the roles of the parties have now switched. I mean look at Donald Skunk's inaguriation... It did NOT look like America.... Everything was willy-Nilly WHITE. This is even reported by WHITE reporters on VARIOUS (liberal and conservative) news stattions. They said this AFTER I already took account to that.
I saw ya'll out there. It was about 15 of ya'll uncle Toms. and about 200,000 whites. What in hell is wrong with you all?
It's like you are saying, "Yessaw boss. I'z be quite while ya'll beat me and lock my bruthaz up n kill my sons. But I sho-nuff still lovez ya'll cus ya'll is white. Lord knows dat da white men is god's gift to diz Oieth (Earth)."

*Make America STINK again.
*Make America Jim Cow land again.
YOU GET THE GIST.
Get ready to live in hell for the next 8 years (unless you are white)!
My suggestion is to earn an TEFL certificate and apply to teach English in Mexico, China or anywhere else so you can get the hell out of the racist $H1-T L@ND, again (unless you are white).
Make America WHITES-ONLY again!
15 AnswersPolitics4 years agoI am white so I can ask this. Why do we LOVE pretend like our ancestors did not steal this land from the real Native AMERICAN Indians?
We love to call blacks "dumb" and "another failed history student" and we love to say they they are "PULLING THE RACE CARD" when they call us out our on our bullshit? We are are racist bunch of *****! Not all of us are racist but the majority us us should be ashamed of ourselves.
We love to say, "There were no laws back then so it was okay for our ancestors to take whenever they wanted." REALLY? Have we really become that evil? I'd rather be Mexican, Black, Chinese or anything other race than a descendant of those ***** who came here and stole this land from the real Americans. Unfortunately, I cannot change who my ancestors are. I am so ashamed of what my ancestors did to the slaves they brought here.
When black people ask these types of questions on Yahoo I see other fellow Americans say all kinds of racist bullshit like "oh well, ******," "Trump is still going to be your president, regardless," and so such much other sickening bullshit. But I am just like you *******.... A white descendant of murderers and thieves!
Talk **** to me BITCHES!
3 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups4 years agoWhy do the descendants of the immigrants who mass murdered the Native (REAL AMERICAN) Indians hate to accept that they are also immigrants?
Yes, I am talking about you racist farts. But please remember that I never called any names. So while you are typing your rant about how blacks/Mexicans./Muslims/etc. are a threat to YOUR (ahahahahaha!) country, just remember that I never called you out by name or race. I let the Daffy Ducks do their own looking and quacking on their own.
2 AnswersOther - Cultures & Groups4 years agoDear racist white Americans,why do you call yourselves conservative? Why are a majority of you closet-racists?
Pretend like you are not but look at how you talk to black Americans, Mexicans, Native Americans (The people who this land ACTUALLY belongs to), Russians, Muslims, and everyone else who is not a Caucasian American.
All of the negative comments left on Yahoo, Facebook, and many news websites reflect a group of people who feel superior to all others who look differently or do not share the same political beliefs and values as said persons.
I know not all white people are like this; I made many of close friends who happened to be white and have dated white boys in the past.
I know that many black people are racist against white people as well; I hear the conversations.
But overwhelmingly, white Americans feel that they are better than others. Do you all (who ARE racists) feel bad about looking down on others or does it just empower you?
11 AnswersYahoo Answers4 years agoWhy are white policeman so inherently evil? They are especially haneous towards black American men. Are you in denial of this obvious truth?
Watching cops makes me cringe. When those devils with guns apprehend women, and BOTH genders of white people, they are kind and generous. However, that is where the honeymoon ends.
When they apprehend ANYone whose skin is brown or black they talk down to them, sling them around like rag dolls and talk to them as if black people are uneducated and incapable feeling human emotion.
Thankfully, I am a person who does not engage in activities that would put in a situation where a police would question my activities.
HOWEVER, I have been talked to rudely by a white officer on two different occasions; they were both wrong, embarrassed and had no choice but to leave me be.
White police men, you make your whole race seem racist and bad. But I KNOW that you all are not like that; I have met way too many white people that has shown nothing but love and acceptance towards me.
That being said, as much as I love white people you policeman makes it very easy for me to develop negative racially-based biased opinions about the majority of white people as a whole.
I wish AmeriKKKa would do away with state, county and city polices officer units and make one force: the FEDERAL POLICE FORCE.
That would make them more accountable for the murders they commit against civilians.
