queensmith:


He's ghanian by ethnicity? doesnt that count? He probably didnt want to. and see now the italians are disrespecting him.

That will make him look like an ingrate. Remember that the Mrs Balloteli picked him up from Ghananian orphanage at a very tender age, cared and nurtured him to adulthood. Got him enrolled to Inter Milan football academy. Only for him to pay her back by abandoning Italy to play for Ghana. It doesn't sound right

I was supporting Italy and wishing them to win, part of my wish is for the Balotelli fella to reach super stardom in the crowning of it all. He worked hard for his team and I didn't like that Spain subdued and beat them like that without leaving some modicum of pride for them.
As per the cartoon, the racist cartoonist should be shrugged off the shoulder---Some people just can't be happy for others when their set time arrive, they will rather hate.

He's not a Ghana guy if he changes his name to an Italian name for no reason. What kind of African forgets their roots by changing their name to a Euro name.

Olodostein:

I get your point. We may disagree as tribes which is natural and engage in healthy competition and heated debate. But I suppose we don't see or label a whole group of other tribe to be on par with animals.

I can find myself in the middle of a village of another tribe and won't be beaten to death because of where i come from. There is a high possibility that you could be crippled by venturing into an Italian village or some crackers town because you look different.

You don't know what that young man is going through. If you had been thrown bananas a number of times and the authorities turns a blind eye or give light punishment, then you would know what you are up against. Ask Samuel Eto too. If he were jewish, them jews will make sure the newspaper pay through their nose. But in our own case, everyone turns a blind eye and the madness continues.


If you wanna know how them crackers find this funny. Just go to any comment sections of newspaper that printed this story and read what average fake smiling cracker on the street thinks about you. It seems like it runs in their gene.

Besides, my black African brother can call me all sorts of names but let no damned cracker try it in my face or else will get Zidane's head butt.

I don't condone violence but you are very intellectual Olodostein so debate intellectually and they will respect and fear you. THat is the best comeback.

LOL. I understand what you mean bro and you are right to some extent. But you see, there are some very crazy people out there that would want to intimidate and hurt you for no just cause. They don't understand pure Reason and the non voilent language. So you just have to protect yourself in self defence. I and a friend have been severely attacked by skinheads, so i know where I am Coming from.

After travelling around, no place like home. Experience seems to be the best teacher. LOL.

Let's stop being oversensitive - there is nothing racist about the cartoon!

damilola15: It depends on the way you see it.
1. - King Kong dominating the British since Big Ben is synonymous with Britain.

2. - It is racist to depict a black person as a monkey/ape/gorilla/chipanzee (whatever).

My discerning mind sees it both ways.

Is climbing a symbol of domination or a way of life of certain animals?Humans do not climb to show dominance..That cartoon is strictly synonymous with the chimpanzee in king kong.

Media houses should be sanctioned for any racist innuendo

Lol ok nevermind then. I agree self defence is very important. If tey try and physically attack you then fight back. But it can be dangerous on the streets man. One time I saw some guy trying to fight another and one guy was carrying a srewdriver. So it can get very dangerous, so i just use my mind and intellectually debate them and they actaully fear me and respect me.

On one of your earlier posts you said sme Egyptians called you an abeed and you told them to go back across the red sea. They respect and fear smart blacks.

Yea. Arabs will never get physical with you. They may mock you and if you know your stuff, they respect and give you your space.

The skinhead incident happened in Europe. They are dreaded and will pounce on you out of the blue. They suffer from a phobia and violence gives them a sense of satisfaction and some sort of "superiority". So one just have to be careful.

I don't condone violence. Just that I can't fathom why a human being would pounce on another human being for no just cause. So one has to what to do whatever is necessary. cool
