I thought that this was going to be about Jesse Jackson.

No I don't have a link, but that doesn't make it any less true...

Of course it's true! Greece was once part of the Ottoman Turkish empire, so at that time Greeks were Turks. It therefore stands to reason that the descendents of those Greek Turks have turkish blood in them, because they have the blood of their ancestors in them and their ancestors were Greek Turks!

Oh, but wait, 10% of the population of Greece are immigrants, some of whom may not have Turkish blood in them.

Watch closely and you will see that in every opportunity they can get they will make a point of stating that they belong to the "white race" by stating where their grandads came from. They will also make a point of stating that they belong to the western world. To them these two are inter-related.

This large percentage of OT Apolytoners suffers from a condition which can be described as "caucasian psychosis".

It is the same as racism only they don't realize it/admit it.

But it is clear to see.

a large precentage of people of afro decent I would definitely classify as western

in fact, almost all I have met (I have freinds from ghana and such so they are different)

Yes I try to avoid them only cuz they look like trouble. They scare me sometimes. I had about 3 of them surround me one time at a bus stop actign all tough like I was about to get mugged or somthin. Wus like okk.. tried to pretend i wasnt concerned. then they asked if I had a few extra bus tokens. I did. I gave it to them and then they started saying how great and cool I was.

what different about ghana?

Black people from Ghana and black people from Chicago are more different, perhaps, than black people from Chicago and white people from Chicago. At least that's what I think he's saying...

Lincoln:

Abandon your car in the inner city? That's a little bit too extreme... do people seriously think thats how it is in the cities? Your car breaks down so you better take the bus the hell out of there? I can't imagine people acting like that... people joke about that **** but are people really that scared of the city?

thanks

I wouldn't be...but I'm just an innocent Canadian boy, so what do I know?

Asher · October 14, 2002, 00:03

I look so tough nobody ever f*cks with me. I'm a regular badass.

Yeah!

KrazyHorse · October 14, 2002, 00:04

Okay, babyface...

Depends on what part of the city. I wouldn't go into East Harlem unless I absolutely had to. In Baltimore and DC, there are tons of neighborhoods where I simply would not go.

When I was in Edmonton some little thug wannabes were knocking over newspaper stands on the street at 2:30 a.m.

I chased them away screaming obscenities at them. You should have seen the faces on the native albertans' faces when I got back to them. "Oh my God! You could have been killed!"

Interesting province you have there. Although I have to admit that the magpies and rabbits on the U of A campus were quite nice...

Interestingly enough, Edmonton is the Liberal stronghold in the province.

So the kids were obviously Liberals.

KrazyHorse · October 14, 2002, 00:17

Liberal stronghold?

What, do they get 10% of the vote there?

Well, considering that's where most violent crime takes place, I certainly wouldn't blame them.
