Well, i pushed it ad absurdum, but that’s basicly the impression this post had on me :)

Opici,

Um, no. You seem to be arguing with yourself here, because that’s certainly not what I said.

So… if media had mentioned her race, it would be kinda low and racist, just like all the “Obama-1st-not-white-president-ever” silly talk. But they did not mention it, so that’s also bad, cause they did it for their all-white-power hidden agenda… Sorry, but that’s just a bit far fetched.

Girl, normally we see eye to eye. However, I have to pass on this one. After living in Italy for the past couple of years, being surrounded by African men who are still selling their sisters into sexual slavery, I have lost respect for them. In fact, although, I was reared to have a sense of solidarity with Africa, the scams, slavery, infighting, has painted a new picture in which, they are indeed black savages.
If the Black British, and Black Americans can fight constantly for proper portrayal, equal rights, representation and opportunity in a foreign land. There is NO reason why Africans cannot do the same in their OWN land. I can’t side with you on this one, but hooray to the Black American Female commander!
