Originally posted by rbmorrisIf you saw someone beating up a little kid with a baseball bat, would you take it upon yourself to be their ( the kid's!! ) self-appointed representitive and step in and help??
What if someone assumes that these groups are unable to fend for themselves and that a pious white guy on an internet forum should take it upon himself to be their self-appointed representative...
What would you call that?

Come on! You must be joking.
Its time that some people unloaded that great big chip off their shoulder and got a life. Too many blacks wander around seeing racisim in every little thing when absolutely nothing of the sort is intended or implied.
If that offends you then perhaps you should go back to Mugabe.

Originally posted by saffa73Is it your contention that someone saying (as a joke) blacks in Zimbabwe are "slimmer" than those in South Africa is somehow "racially" ...... "objectionable"? Besides the fact that it's almost certainly true on average, what is the "objectionable" part?

If I say white people in Europe are slimmer than those in the US (a true statement as well), is that "racially objectionable", too?
Originally posted by saffa73Are you saying that black people in Zimbabwe are like little kids, and saying that they are slimmer than black people in South Africa is like beating them up with baseball bats?

Originally posted by no1marauderGiven the shocking conditions in many African countries and the much higher level of racism in many African countries, I hardly think one can makea comparison.

Originally posted by saffa73You previously stated that you are black. Not that it makes any difference, but the inconsistencies are building.

Would you mind breaking down for me why, in your mind, a comment like "Pygmies are shorter than Zulus" is racist?
Thanks in advance,

Funnily this immediately resulted in my receiviong an apology from someone who a minute before was tearing my head off because I was White.
I had to make a point. What colour I am does not make the orignial problem any less of one.
AND STICK TO THE POINT OF THIS THREAD PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
