Because white people came here by choice (for the majority) years ago, and were able to know and keep their heritage from other countries.
However, a large number of black people, were forced to come here many years ago, as slaves, and stripped of their heritage and cultures. So many did not know their family lineage, thus the term african american/black american came.
Does that make sense?

The book is called Ghost Boy and it is incredible. Highly reccomend. And he wasn't in a coma. He was awake and living, but his mind wasn't fully there until years after he became ill. His mind slowly woke up and he spent years trapped in his body and had no way of communicating to his family and the people taking care of him. His name is Martin Pistorious. His perseverance is amazing and inspiring.

In Chicago we call it 'dibs'. It can be a chair or a child lawn toy etc placed in a parking spot. Someone actually got stabbed for moving someone else's dibs. Its a big deal here.

Voluntarily doing a gluten-free diet is pretty much the stupidest thing 28 comments

When a product says 'gluten free' the gluten is being replaced by something else. Like potato starch. Just like how diet sodas replace sugar with splenda or aspartame which is sooo much worse for you. If you choose this diet, it's important to still know what you're ingesting (obviously).

I'm from Chicago. We have one of the highest crime rates AND some of the most strict gun laws. A couple weekends ago ~35 people were killed in the city. This is how it is every weekend. Its known as 'chiraq' now because its like a war zone. They are literally calling in troops to help. Criminals do not care if the law says they can't have guns. Its gangbangers killing gangbangers and since when do they abide by laws? Its not getting better, its getting far worse.

Unfortunately, you are correct about aborting a special needs baby. In the US alone, when it is found out that a woman is pregnant with a down syndrome baby, 8 out of 10 (if i remember correctly) choose to terminate. It's a sad fact that this is closer than we think. Euthenasia is even legal in Belgium.
And there are many aspects of life 'nature used to take care of' but we, as an intelligent society, used our knowledge, to bring a better way of life. These people would be strapped to beds and have unthinkable things done to them. Don't you dare tell me that they don't deserve better. To be able to live a happy life! It amazes me that this is even an issue.

If we can put that decision in the hands of children, why do they have to be of age to vote, to drink, and to drive? Choosing weather or not to kill yourself is a heavy burden to put on a kid. If they are having a bad day, the answer might be yes, but if it was a good day they might want to live still. Children aren't allowed to make life altering decision for a reason.

This is absolutely appalling. My brother was born healthy, then given a routine vaccine. He immediately started having seizures and the drs said that there was no way that he would make it to age 5. He will be celebrating his 26th birthday this year and I don't know of a happier boy. He has the mental capacity of a 1 year old and is total care. He, and the special needs community, have been such a blessing and delight to our family. It breaks my heart that people deem it 'the right thing to do' by euthenizing them. Attend a function with people with defects and you will meet the most loving and happy people. And yes, a lot of them do have pain, my brother suffers from 10-15 seizures a day, but they all love life and are MEANT to be here. I love him more than words can say.
Look up Joni Eareckson Tada. Paralyzed at a young age, now making a difference in the special needs community.

Its called isomalt. Its a type of sugar that doesn't caramelize (turn brown) like reg granulated sugar. It is what's used is movies or TV shows when someone breaks through a glass window or things like that because it stays clear.
