Re: Just as de gaulle said
In Response To: Re: Just as de gaulle said ()

greetings paul ,

"What to do? Be honest with yourself. Have a big long think. Can you honestly say that you have gotten through your life without making assumptions about people based on their colour? "

maybe we live in different time and space , for so i guess it is totally different the evironment in usa and here inna italy . i guess you are from england ?
when i grew up here there were no colored people around mi ,and no really people who talked about mi of them . maybe just because there was no issue since them weren't around , iguess.

tellin you i grew up in likkle town much miles from rome , a sort of countryside .
this to say i did not grew up ina kinda racism style like the way inna usa they grew or grow up today .
i can tell while i was gettin in my youth ( 15-16) then i met the first black boy of mi life and it was when mi parents decide to get back into rome .
of course gettin old inna rome brought to me some kind of latent tendancy to feel like the other people feel and so on , so my sentiments passed trought a lot of feelings . That eventually bring mi to take assumptions , like on every other thing in life , even on colored people .
BUT I WAS IGNORANT , seen ?

let mi tell you a little example ,
assumption on strangers here inna italy , black yellow or same whites !! , are based mostly on hungry and ignorance .
here it is , i&i live ina neighborood , lot of people from every corner of the earth , inna italy we got boats of poor people arrivin everyday from , albania , greece , tunisia even turkey .
this people got no work , live as clandestine ,only some of them receive a card that permit him to stay and work , and many of them go to the tuff road , meanin they a go steal , they a go kidnappin , they a go kill ...
this because there is no work even for i&i the people itlians . So the people inna neighvborogh since do not know who throw their hungry they trhrow it to them strangers . This the beginning of racism ....

for women , let tir tis apart , cause here there is sayd : women = b***

i KNOW this not true , EVEN if my experience take mi to that conclusion .
i KNOW women are Mothers of Iration , seen ?
and no 10.000 b**** can make me change what i know .

when you say exhchange of ideas can bring things hard to take , yes it is very true .
seem like what i sayd was hard to take .
and i overstand WHY a black could say and think such things .
Because of experience .

the thing i wanted to transmit was :
no generalization on whites , blacks , women , strangers , etc....
but with a sense of knowing that is not like that , cause otherwise will be without sense .

aight ,

mo'love
