#5682 I feel that the admins should add the Suicide Prevention Hotline number (1-800-273-8255) in the description under the UNT Confessions link for people who are depressed and considering suicide.

#5696 My roommate has been dating this sorority girl for a few months now and I've come to the conclusions that she is possibly the worst human being I've ever met. She is so narcissistic, and judgmental and has the most warped sense of reality. She thinks the whole world owes her something and that everyone needs to take what she wants into consideration. She's racist, beauty obsessed, and really only associates with people who come from wealthy backgrounds. She's even said that she typically only dates frat guys but is with my roomate (who isn't in a fraternity) because he's really good looking (which I suppose is true) and because he comes from a well known family. Normally I try to tune out people like this but it's hard when she's always around. I can tell she hates me and really hates that me and my roomate are really good friends. She's gone as far as lying about me making passes at her and saying she's caught me stealing out of her purse. I honestly hope that she gets into a car accident, survives but becomes horribly disfigured just show she can get treated the way she treats everyone else.

#5680 I just found out that I got a girl pregnant from a one night stand I had a couple months back. I'm honestly just playing it cool until I graduate this December and I'm piecing the fuck out of this town.

#5679 I'm a bi curious guy who wants to find a guy I could potentially experiment with it at least hang with. I don't really like using apps like grindr because it seems like most guys are big flakes and ate afraid of having their identity exposed or something. I try to keep my eye pen for guys when I go out to fry or to parties but no luck so far. Do any gay/bi guys here have any suggestions on what to do?

#5678 I'm really thriving off the recent racial tensions going on due to Ferguson. I think that both P.O.C and whites are really showing their true nature. P.o.c want equality but have failed to demonstrate in any meaningful way that they want to achieve that. And whites have really shown that they don't want equality and are incredibly afraid of that. It may not happen now but this was a sneak peak behind the curtains. A race war will happen one day and ultimately when the whites are outnumbered by the very people they oppressed it'll be game over. An America where whites are the minority and don't have social privilegeanymore wouldn't that be something?

#5675 Alright, here goes a potentially controversial confession: I'm white and I definitely think that racism exists. That's not the controversial part, lol. There's just no denying it - seeing the income disparities between whites and people of darker skin, listening to stories and hanging out with my friends of color and seeing how differently they are treated then me every day we go out. There's definitely a widespread problem. Unfortunately, years and years of racial injustice have tainted the social and economic climate of our country.
I mean, the only reason why America is what it is today is because of genocide and slavery. No, those things don't exist here anymore, but every time you go outside and walk around a city or go to a shopping mall, you are seeing the world that evil white men built. Imagine how you must feel if you are a native american or black american and see that the advertising industry favors white women as symbols of beauty, and how black men are seen as aggressive and violent. Fuck Ferguson, a 12-year-old black boy was recently shot by police for holding a BB gun!
But based on what I've read, seen, and experienced, informing Americans about institutionalized racial inequality and educating them is only part of the equation to fix the problem. The most disturbing thing about this kind of thinking is how early on it can become ingrained in your mind. Children have been known to show signs of racial tribalism before turning ONE years old. It's been scientifically proven that when pregnant women endure extremely stressful situations, some of that may be passed on to their children in a way that permanently effects their disposition. Ever see "We Need to Talk About Kevin?" Whether or not you are capable of completely reversing what you've learned or inherited may be entirely dependent upon whether or not you are capable of deeply feeling unconditional love and empathy for those who are harmed by the privilege you benefit from.
Because, lets face it, nobody feels comfortable when someone begins to speak out against racism or any form of social injustice with a negative or robotic tone in their voice. And being defensive doesn't help either: You hear this kind of stuff it all the time: "They're just anti-white!", "I don't care what color you are, I just like people who like me," "You're just oversensitive". "I dated a black girl one time, so I am by delault not racist". These are all very dismissive statements that harm progress of people who experience the world in a much different way than you. This are definitely things that you don't hear directed at you on a daily basis as a white person.
This lack of care or empathy about people with very different experiences than you fuels institutionalized racism and THAT is what is being protested in Ferguson. Everyone wants to be loved. Those who have suffered more especially so. So the question is, how do we change the many, many deeply-held negative or neutral ATTITUDES towards people of different ethnicities that prevent a constructive dialogue on race? Attitudes that begin to form in early childhood or possibly in utero? Whoever can figure THAT out will have created the Eureka moment of our time.
