elewarus - slightly hyocritical...I would think calling all Africans Slaves falls under the "name calling" category don't you think? Now...let me get back to my warm drink...

honestly, i'm pretty sure it's a coincidence. "[dididi] for africa" is just a slang term (that i still don't really understand), and when they said slave, i doubt they were thinking of a shackled black man.

but put the two sentences together and WACKINESS ENSUES

though i'd be pretty surprised if nobody noticed the connection before it went to print so who knows really

someone has FAR too much spare time. Lighten up before you give yourself a hernia Betsy

[betsycoates]

"too much spare time" is another comment that was banned from the internet, didn't you get the memo

[betsycoates]

since "give yourself a hernia Betsy" was made mandatory at the same time i'm guessing yes you did

well, to take this from another perspective, i would have to say dicks

[skytohigh]

I do understand the frustration with everyone being overly polically correct.

However, don't confuse a derogatory attitude towards an entire race of people with this.

i have it on good authority that skytohigh enjoys nothing more than relaxing on a sunday morning with a warm drink and a good opinion
