It has been a historic week!

[funnygirl]

At this historic moment in time, I feel compelled to put down in writing and share my thoughts with you.
Over the past week or so, I / or we have witnessed several ground breaking and historic events, created and involving our people.

(a) The Stanford 20 - 20 for twenty million dollars, would be won by the Stanford superstars, giving little known West Indies cricketers, an opportunity to change theirs and their families lives for good.

(b) Lewis Hamilton becoming the youngest, and first Black person to win the Formula 1 championship. In doing so suffering long suspected racial abuse from his co drivers, teams, and certain elements of a fan base in several countries.

(c) Barak Obama becoming the first Black man to succeed to the white house.

(d) Jo Wilfried Tsonga won the French Masters.

They have all achieved the unthinkable, against all odds. They have succeeded where in the past, it would have been unconceivable for them to have been even considered to be on the first step to their ultimate goals.

Black Power!

[Gormless]

How do you think Lewis Hamilton's race contributes to his phenomenal driving abilities (on a par with Senna)?

How has being "black" helped him to drive so fast?

[dustinmyeye]

would it be wrong of me to make a joke along the lines of ....running away from the KKK ???

[sir.knobby]

and of course not forgeting the white power when logic got out of bed yesterday before noon

[debbz1969]

While I agree with you funnygirl.... If someone wrote "White power", you would be branded a racist.

[logic]

can't you get some bluddy work done, instead of sitting there daydreaming.

[ummmm]

True Debz......

[funnygirl]

Logic, I'm not gonna let you spoil this moment!!!

I am on a high!!!!

I wanna be the next Prime Minister of this country!!!

Go on laugh!!!!

[LoftyLottie]

Exactly Debs!

Statements like that are enough to turn me into a racist!

[Gormless]

Senna was not a White Caucasian, yet I don't recall a load of racial cheering each time he scored one of his incredible pole positions, race wins, or World Championships.

Why so different with Lewis Hamilton?

He's from Hertfordshire isn't he?

[debbz1969]

Alain Prost was better than Senna Gormless

[debbz1969]

Hi Loftie, we seem to get about a bit don't we???? X

[Gormless]

What about Mansell? Didn't he get 9 race wins in his championship year? Also, Ronnie Peterson, if still alive, would have eclipsed Schumacher.

[LoftyLottie]

I should actually be doing things other than being on AB Debs!! See you later x

[Davethedog]

???

A) The money could have gone anywhere and it had nothing to do with colour.

B) Lewis Hamilton had this thing called "TALENT" it has been nurtured for a long time by Ron Dennis a very rich white guy. If he didn't have the talent he wouldn't be where he is.

3) I conceed about Obama but only because of American history and he is appears to have outstanding charisma but remember he is the tip of the Democratic iceberg. Not forgetting that he has invigorated the apathetic US voting public.

There is always method in the madness.

4) And - Williams sisters -Yannick Noah - Arthur Ashe.

People achive things because of who they are, because they are talent human beings colour of skin has nothing to do with it.

The sooner people can accept people as people the happier this world will be.

[debbz1969]

And what about Sterling Moss???

[Gormless]

Moss was the greatest driver never to win the World Championship, and a true gentleman in addition. Jim Clark, tragically lost at Hockenheim in a minor race, another truly gentle man.

I love F1!

[logic]

Next prime minister funny i assume you wont be voting BNP then, ?

My turn to laugh now,.

BTW sent you some piccys, but don't let mr funny see them or he will be insanely jeolous

[Bbbananas]

white power or white powder knobby?

[Gormless]

Raikkonen, last year's World Champion, is blonde Scandinavian with piercing blue eyes. Did this help him? Or did he just drive very fast and score more points than anybody else?
