this is something ive noticed and was wondering if anyone has the answer:

my question is this, when did the big chess tournaments stop using the black and white pieces and change over to the light and dark brown?😕

"For those of you watching in black and white, the blue is behind the pink"

Maybe it was when colour telly originally became popular - before that they would look like black and white anyway. [on the TV at least]

Arrakis, my good friend, I hope she was making a joke.
No one that knows me, would say I have problems with race issues.
One thing that I have learned it that all men are equal.
This does however exclude true equality in the shower, at the gym. 😞
How we view each other is dependent on each and everyone of us.
Ease race tension with humor if you will, or if you can, then do it.
Racism is a cancer on society, and must somehow be ended soon.
Racism is ugly and the most offensive way to treat a brother human.
Each and everyone can help to end this by being self humbled.
Can people ever just think of each other first, and treat everyone well?
Why be mean and hatefull to someone who appears to be different?
How can one justify such narrow mindedness, and set a poor example?
Our job, my friends is to treat others, how we would like to be treated.
Racism shall one day be erraticated from mankind once and for all.
Everyone will live in peace and brotherly love for all, as God intended.
Please take time to get to know your neighbors, and be nice to them.
One time of being nice may have a dominoo effect and grow from you.
See what a difference you can make in this world. I know we can.
Try it today or as soon as you can. You'll see a brighter tomorrow.

...treat others the way you want to be treated. Hmmm...that sounds familiar...where have I heard that from.(Golden rule perhaps?..)

Great post Ice. I am white and I really didn't know racism until I met/married my wife. She's not racist. She's mixed; some white, some Native American, some black. Some people really don't like mixed couples. Every once in awhile we hear a comment from some stranger. It really angers her, which is understandable. I just remind her that being offended and holding on to that offense only hurts herself in the end. Instead, we should pray for the person who offended us. Racism will always be there. My hope and Prayer is that more people will start to look at a person's character and not the color.

It doesn't rhyme,
Nor does it follow a rhythmical pattern.
Does that mean it's completely random?
Er, I don't tink so.
Earl Grey, anyone?
Darn, that tastes like soap.

Now to something completely different...
Or should I just stop?
Thanks for listening.

What planet did you say you were from, as its certainly not Earth.

How do you stop a {insert colour/race/sexual deviant type} from drowning?

Take your foot off their head.

Funny?
Racist?
Sexist?

[i]Everyone will live in peace and brotherly love for all, as God intended.[/]

More spiritual bunkum.

If such a super being exists why can't they just put the world right?
If such a super being exists how do you know they wanted brotherly love for all?
Was this the first case of sexism and homosexuality?

The only reason tomorrow is brighter is because its one day nearer to pay day.
