Re: Selessielives

What was interesting to me is that he called gman a white boy because he is bi-racial and has white friends.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I called Gman a white boy because he jumped to conclusions about a question that I posed to someone else - not him.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Would the same hold true for Barack Obama who is also bi-racial and has plenty white friends?
Rasi sights Obama as black. Why the selective labeling here?
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Point:
When you label a whole group of people (African leaders PIGS) there seems to be no uproar. I called Gman a white boy because that's how he is actin : "dont mind if i call you dude"...."she's a chick" (referencing an female head of african state) thats what WHITE boys do - not Africans, who claim to be Pan African and or conscious. Since you bring up Obama.I view Obama as a politican: nothing more/nothing less. I viewed him as a better option than John McCain. Obama has white boy tendencies - but thats what you expect from someone presiding over a predominate White country.
So I will ask you Selassielives:
Is stating: "Most African leaders are pigs"
with no qualifying statement to clarify acceptable, to you?++++++++++++++++++++++
It amazes me how two people who have met in flesh would get personal on the internet by using real names and things.
++++++++++++++++++++++
My name is Brian - It isnt a issue w/ me using my real name.
+++++++++++++++++++++
The ironic thing is that Rasi jumped on Gman's use of pig as derogatory name calling yet he perpetuates it by continuing the derogatory name calling.
+++++++++++++++++++++++
You see idren - you must have not really read the posting - as I NEVER said anything to "G" prior to him referencing my post - as a matter of (I think) fact - not yet during this discussion, has G directly called African leaders pigs - my post was to Oshun Auset.
