PoliticsRe: America "a country full of racists" retort as Miss America racially abused. by demelza: 9:46am On Sep 17, 2013
Gbawe: I think this is the crux of the matter. American is proud of its identity as an "example" for all others as per everything desirable and laudable. It would be good if the loquacity the nation uses to promote itself as 'virtuous above others' is now similarly deployed to explain this very ugly development.
I am sorry but this is akin to going on a wild goose chase. We all awaited this explanation when Barack Obama won the US elections and was subjected to one of the worst racist taunts ever. You know that there is no victory any persons of colour can achieve that can be compared to that.
It seems Americans have racial tendencies deeply embedded in their genes that just makes them automatically react when someone who isnt pale succeeds. Even if they sound quite ridiculous.

Gbawe: To be honest, I really don't see what this focus on India is about for anyone who, first and foremost, accepts completely that this Lady is American and should be entitled to privileges every American should enjoy as a matter of legitimacy.

It is those who do not accept her as American who racially abuse here same as it is also those who do not understand we are talking of someone born and bred in America who would make this about India. This is not about India at all. This is about the racism of the USA and equitable minds will separate issues appropriately.
I agree with your assertions but she is an American who still holds on to her Indian heritage. Infact she gave an interview where she talks of speaking with her grandmother and family who are still resident in India. Thats where the India angle comes in.
It is sad that she's being subjected to racial abuse but one cant help but think of her native country where girls like her are discriminated against and called ugly just because of the colour of thier skin.
Just like Obama, if her win can bring attention to the very racist nature of India then its all good.

There is nothing wrong in being a man of your words. Whats wrong in him admitting to what we all know he said? No one is telling him not to compete in the next elections, he has a right to. Just quit speaking from both sides of the mouth.

Rossikk: In a way it serves the girl right. Hope this news gets to India, where her people would similarly show their racist colours if a black girl was crowned Miss India.
My exact sentiments. I would love to see if Indians themselves would have any moral justification to rail against those racists especially when one considers their caste system.
Besides I dont think she would have won anything like this back at home because she's somewhat dark-skinned.

I know they exist. I was just thinking about how her win will resound back at home. You know India and their caste system.
Its actually a good one for those dark-skinned Indians that might have been brain-washed to believe that because they arent light, they are ugly.

RomanceRe: What Makes Someone Say "I Don't Talk To People That Have No Class"? by demelza:
grin[quote author=tpia@]class means classy.


work on yourself and be less vulgar, uncouth, ill mannered,etc - that may be the impression you are giving people.

it will also help you if you are looking for a non-armed robber, non-419 or non-kidnapper husband.

be well mannered and considerate in your interactions with others, basically.

and yes, even if you hate their tribe/ethnicity.[/quote]grin

Errr.... I dont think mama-gee is referring to herself.

The sokoto state govt opened their coffers to spend such a huge amount on a lodge for visitors whereas the problem of Almajiri is still there like a hydra-headed monster.

Italiano1: Jona does not even have the slightest knowledge of what goes on at the NYSE not to talk of understanding the reason for ringing the bell- he will just subconsciously assume he is ringing the bell for the start of the consumption of copious amount of Ogogoro in his backward village

PoliticsRe: Mohammed Abacha Decamps To PDP by demelza: 5:21pm On Sep 16, 2013
theoctopus: What kind of question is this? People lie everyday. What has age got to do with lying? Did he not lie that Abacha is not corrupt? So why wont he lie again. Shift joor
Why would he lie about this supposedly stolen wealth when he wont be prosecuted if he decides to make use of it? Has IBB, Ty Danjuma, Obj and co being arrested? So why should Buhari's case be different, what makes him so special?
It is you who should shift, coming online to spout nonsénse.
PoliticsRe: Mohammed Abacha Decamps To PDP by demelza: 5:13pm On Sep 16, 2013
theoctopus: Buhari is a criminal. He cannot account for what he stole during the PTF. He keeps trying to cover it up with his poverty posture. We can see through him clearly. Ole
I am sorry but you sound kind of um.... daft. While I am not holding any brief for Buhari, I want to ask why a man at his age will keep pretending to be poor when he knows his time on earth is ticking fast?
Why "steal" the money if he never meant to spend it? Or is he storing it up to take on his final journey?
The way some people just open mouth and talk sef..
