This is not a racial topic. It's about whether it's possible to be happy in America. The OP just asked if it was harder to be happy in the US as a black person. That's an honest question, not one designed to start a racial flame war again.zboy1 wrote:Mr. Darcy, I told everyone to quit with the racial topics for two weeks or else face a ban.

Depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for acceptance from the dominant culture (White), then yes, you're gonna be a miserable SOB.Mr.Darcy wrote:Is it possible to find happiness in the USA? especially if you're black?
You mean for most people? Not for me though. No matter how much money I have, I still need love and romance. Men still need women when they have money, but women seem to not need men when they have money. Very unfair.marklambo wrote: The more money you have, the less everything else matters. That's how it is in America.
Maybe. But I heard that blacks in the UK are more well adjusted and do not have inferiority complexes. This means that they aren't discriminated against as much in the UK. So it's better there for blacks.djeanp7898 wrote:Depends on what you're looking for.

I haven't read anything more deserving of a face palm in a long time.C.J. wrote:It depends on what you define as happiness. If you mean having sex with women, earning lots of money and having people in your social circle that are so nice, that they'll give you the shirt off their back... that's more than possible, it's easy.
But if you think there's a garden-of-eden paradise somewhere, where you become an idol, you'll have a hard time finding it.
