are you serious right now??? Are you like….a racist yourself. because of the terrible things that happend we should remain focused on a negative that should have no placement in life what so ever?

I’m not saying pretend it dissapered. i mean get over yours or others skin color. You shouldn’t see someone as white, black, or brown. besides, you can not hope to focus on the bad and hope to achieve the best out of people. because in the end it will only harness tension, bigotry, and resentment.

tryin to say or believe there is a difference between you and me as far as color is both racist and ignorent.

now you also bring up European colonists. That’s only as far back as you can go? yep, let’s blame everything on the anglo saxons. what about Rome, and Greece? What about persia and Babaloynn? What about the jews? they have been slaves and a symbol of extreme muslim hate and called for destruction for centuries. What about Africa? African’s inslaved African’s. The Myan’s and Aztec’s had slaves.

So before you go pointing the finger of blame at the anglo’s you need to recognize that we were in line with an already rich and long history of racist and horrible thinking. I’m not saying it’s right, i’m just saying we joined the club.

But you can never get passed that and get over yourself by holding onto it. forgiving and letting go is not the same thing as forgetting.

Just as Canadians all slurp Maple syrup, chow down on Ham(Canadian Bacon?), live in igloos, and say “eh”, and “aboot”; Americans are all rednecks who fuck their sisters, eat Macdonalds, listen to pop music, and generally get fatter; Germans click their heals, wear Leaderhosen, eat sausage, and hate Jews; Britains have rotten teeth; French are all pussies; Chinese are bad drivers and swindlers; Jews own the world; Aussies drink Foster’s and hate black people; Japanese are all business men perverts; Russians are Vodka swilling fascists; Italians are slimy sleazebag gangsters; Mexicans are border-jumping free labor etc. etc.

All of these things are true… Sometimes.

Not 100% of the time. But these perceptions originated SOMEWHERE. To use a stereotype in a film may be irresponsible, but the closer it is to being somewhat true, the more likely the represented people will take offense and immediately act defensive. I think where the Nigerians and anyone else offended by societal generalities go wrong is assuming that people actually think that said generalities represent all of a people/race. We’re all adults here. We know that 100% of Africa isn’t made up of Voodoo practicing Cannibalistic gang members.

Right?

It’s this type of biast racist thinking (that the government of Nigeria is guilty of) that get’s people so offended at stuff like this. WHy can’t they understand that this is just a story. Based on fictional people and event’s. Maybe we should apologize at how poorly the aliens were treated?

I’m so sick of this political correctness. Afraid to show or say something that might offend someone when getting offended is a choice. Either everything is ok to write about, or nothing is.

From a recent Chicago Tribune Article:
“But what’s perhaps more remarkable than the take from 419 scams is that people still fall for them. Even the Nigerian Embassy in Washington has issued warnings about such schemes. “YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED AGAIN!!” reads an all-caps disclaimer on the embassy’s Web site. Officials from the Nigerian Embassy did not return calls seeking comment.

Why do people continue to take the bait? The explanation is more complex than simple greed and stupidity, said Andrew Smith, a professor at the University of Glasgow in the United Kingdom. Smith wrote an article this year for the academic journal Cultural Studies titled, “Nigerian Scam E-Mails and The Charms of Capital.”

In it, he argues that scammers skillfully exploit Western notions of Africa as being chaotic and Africans as being unsophisticated and “needing white guidance or support” in capitalizing on their resources.

“They make offers which, however extraordinary, also fit in with what we have long been told is the natural, expected relationship [between whites and Africans],” Smith wrote in an e-mail. “This is also why, of course, on the streets of Nigeria, there is some celebration of the ’scammer’ as someone who is taking a kind of historical revenge against the greed and arrogance of white people in their dealings with Africa.”
