Are you a Racist ?

[brionon]

I am but I thought I wasn't. When I heard that Suarez had made a racist comment about another footballer I immediately thought ''But he's black too. How can he be a Racist,he's not White.''

AndyHughes:

sorry I missed your irony. I have two (rather feeble excuses):

1) I had a gig last night, got in at 4:30 this morning so am not at my brightest today.
2) As new research shows, we start to lose our mental faculties in our forties - which means mine must be almost completely depleted by now :-)

I did actually twig you were being ironic, just as I hit submit - but at that point it's a bit late.

Hi rojash - not a problem at all, but thanks very much for your kind apology.

TBH - posting irony is always dicey - without the facial and vocal inflections to back it up as in conversati0on, a written statement can look like it means exactly what it says, so the confusion is easy - been caught out myself a few times on here!

Have a great weekend. A.

why dont black men make good swimmers ,when they excel at most other sports

[jomifl]

^ they prefer jumping and to be honest jumping under water is not usually very successful.

[jaberwocky]

yes

[mandimoo]

my mum told me black people couldn't swim, so I asked my black friend if it was true. she laughed so much she nearly wet herself and she wasn't the slightest bit offended. owdhamer just reminded me of this funny little episode.

Racial superiority is a mere pigment of the imagination.

I once heard someone say they couldnt be a racist because their newsagent was a pakistani. I thought he was joking but he was deadly serious.
