thats a shame that one person could change your views on a entire race. do you realize that if you do suspect that she stole it you should report it and if the landlord trys to be a dick about it then take it a step further to the law. he will probably get a new cleaning lady. and if you dont like her so much simply tell your landlord you will clean your own house and you no longer ned her services. think about what you said and imagine if everyone in the country started hating whole races of people because one person burned them. this would be a fu$k^d up place to live. as a black woman i could have easily gotten mad and sent you a nasty response but i chose to try and help you see that you are carrying on a cycle of hate that if nothin else will become very exausting in life. i hope you recieve this message well and you dont carry on your parents hateful ways.

the fact that one person is like that doesn't mean all 'immigrants' are the same.
I see why you ought to think that way, but try to see everyone as a person. Don't devide the world into groups but just stick to the whole individial idea. ;)

Your parents are very wise, friend. And the painful truth is they are pretty much right.

Now you say this woman is a Nigerian immigrant, and she is the only one that has been in your room. I agree with your theory that she just may have stolen your passport.

I base that theory completely on the fact that she is a Nigerian Immigrant. She probably stole it and sold it to a friend in her neighborhood who will make counterfeit copies of it and sell them to get other Nigerians into the country illegally on fake passports. Or she may use it to get a family members into the country.

By the way thats a good idea you have about the money.. But take it a bit further.. use a little money and a few other items of value. Make sure you put some small markings on the money you set out so you can later identify it, as well as any other items you use for bait. If you have small wireless cam you can hide, that would work as well too, so you can see what she does when you are not around.

Also talk to your neighbors and find out if any similar activities have been going on. And finally have a word with your landlord if your suspicions bear any fruit.

I'd even go so far as to leave out other "official" documents like a driver license (maybe your own counterfeit copy of one), and see if they turn up missing.. of course as I said use counterfeit copies of your own, without revealing any info that could be used to gain access to vital financial inforomation.

Let us know how it turns out.

i don't think i'm racist... but i believe streotypes exist for a reason...

i lived in the bad part of town for a while (you know the black part). my house was broken into (by blacks). stolen cars were left behind my house (by blacks). my gf couldn't walk the 4 blocks to the grocery store without being stopped and scared silly (by blacks) driving up on the sidewalk to offer her a ride...

i became kinda racist too, but i recently told the black guy i work with that "i'm not racist, i hate all people equally."

just keep judging people individually. judging people based on those stereotypes (no matter how often they prove true) is bad news.

I reckon there is no smoke without fire, Im sure your parents speak some truth about their race but there are always exceptions to the rules. try not to judge others that you meet with these prejudice's as you may come across a few that break this mold.
I had a dodgy west end "common" cleaner and had to get rid of her as at 11am she was drinking and smoking and she kept interrupting me working with her filthy language!
but I am not going to tar all west enders with the same brush.

Your parents sound like bigots. Good for you trying to break that cycle. Don't let negative incidents rekindle the poison they fed you. Take those incidents for what they are and leave race out of it.

everyones a little bit racist

Souns like you have a similar background to me. I don't consider myself racist, though my parents clearly are. I approach people of all races with an open mind, but sometimes people do live up to their negative stereotypes and it does have the effect of creating negative ideas about certain ethnic groups. I don't consider this racist though as it's based upon experience rather than what other people tell me, and I recognise you will always get good people and bad people in any racial group, it's just the proportions of each are skewed sometimes. My advice would be leave some money lying around like you say and secretly film her, you need proof first.

totaly normal. Everyone goes around acting as if they are all segregation and everything. but when you talk to it with a group of people, then you realize that you are all racist. do not worry. you arn't alone.

she is taking your money.

you're being brain washed!!!!!

Well its no big deal. Blacks already think we're all secretly racist anyway, might as well make their dream come true.

ok i think racism isnt quite the word because, i think the onky reason u notice the same traits in all of one race is because of hiow there religion turns out, and i think you CAN blame the religion, and niot the cloour of the skin, and also, yes so nless trouble comes upon you, judge against them individually ;)

I don't think you're necessarily racist; but you're definitely beginning to think that way.

Try to see that she might not be a very morally sound person, but that doesn't mean her race has anything to do with it.

As long as you don't act on or voice your feelings, I don't think you're going to be in any trouble.

Racism is an ugly word used by ugly people, I have an always regard that word as a relative to violence against another race, hating a race is your own choice and should not be anybody's say whether you are racist or not, as long as you don't plan violence against someone because of their race-- that is a wrong

-simple as that-
