Go you good thaing! Dunno what Herbert will make of that given he is a bloke who cannot comprehend the sheer banality of a red bloke marrying a purple sheila, or to be more accurate, a blue sheila with a yellow bloke as her trophy.
So if he found out that I've bedded more white woman than he has it'd be recieved poorly?
Well why would it? By your evidence you are almost certainly more white than black, bearing in mind that there's a lot of white in most Jamaicans. Sure there's a lot of black Norwegians these days, though not in your pops generation. [€/quote]
My point was about Herby's bullshit about mixed-race people. I'm not just visably African-American, mixed-race, and my white wife means I'm set to start the Mocha Master Race. As I have made clear, I have a thing for ladies of the Caucasian persuasion, so imagine how hilarious I found this thread by some white guy whining about us darkies stealin' all da white wimmins. This quality of racist assholery is hard to find in the US now, so it's refreshing to see people that unashamedly bigoted.
My point in saying that Chard, was to have people think about how it is that people who might well genetically be 90% AngloSaxon, but have some extra melination in their skin, invariably identify with 'people of colour'.
I'll go further, I was often the only white at Jamaican parties. I picked up a few looks, but once the people that knew me 'had a word' I was never once made unwelcome. But when I brought along Jamaican friends to white parties, it just didn't work the same. Not that all the white friends I had were racists, but there were some.
I had Indian and Chinese friends too I used to hang with Lords and Ladies, artists and stock brokers. I was curious, that was/is just the way I am. I like diversity, but I have to say of all the groups I ever met I've a particular affection for Jamaicans. Those parties had no age barriers either. Young kids and real oldies all rocked along to the same music and helped each other with food making and stuff. There's a lot about Jamaican culture that's bloody good and of course that's been noted in London which was/is formed and reformed constantly by waves of immigrants since the ice melt made it habitable only 10,000 years ago.
Quote:Believe it or not I'd think, 'wow, hot chick'. Skin melination doesn't mean more to me than tall/short fat/thin.
Quote:Herbert - Black kids should grow up with black parents who know how to teach them all the subtleties involved in becoming middle class African-American adults.
because we want our society to be wrapped in stasis, with the same old entrenched prejudices, just carrying on for ever. Guess what, boats, planes and the defeat of the flat earthers changed everything. Get used to it.
