John Godson, born in Nigeria, might become Poland Sejm's first black deputy! [313]
"Polska dla Black-ów" they'd be cool with you, then?
Polka-dot black cows WHA??
You have Black and Asian TV stars and music stars... are you suggesting we get them off the TV in case Africans say, "Hey, I can go to Poland and be on 'Dance With the Stars'"?
I will say that blacks here enjoy MUCH more TV face time than their population share would suggest. This is due to Hollywood Libs trying to show the world how much they embrace blacks culture as they shove their contrived "diversity" down everyone's throats.
In UK there are a number of Black Conservatives
Not many over here but a few. They are a rarity.
if people feel this way and live their personal life to their personal beliefs, then OK... it's when they start forcing other people to do the same that there's a problem.
Yes, this is the problem with Libs.
Nobody has mentioned his policies, that's the point. The thread just bounced into 'no europeans in Poland' and 'watch out he'll bring all the others from Africa' without actually examining what he stands for. That's what people are calling racist.
Well I call it racist that his supporters seem to blindly support him without mentioning his policies. Which leads one to believe it's only because he's black.
The thing is that you have let your own experience of US politics 'colour' .... your reading of Polish politics.
It is from one's own experiences that we each draw our views. You and everyone else does the same.
Could it be that we Americans have been exposed to the great number of blacks .... that reside here, and have more experience with them than the Europeans?
Yes. We have such experience and we're trying to warn the Polish peeps so they can avoid such experiences.
this might give Europeans some kind of superiority complex because they can always point to US and the civil rights movement, segregation etc
Yes, they are quick to call us "racists" for merely conveying our experiences.
Yes, there is a rising abuse of political correctness (imported from US, I'd say!) and I would argue it has led to a rise in far right-wing politics in UK and Europe
The Left uses PC to bully their racial crap through. The rise of the Right you see is push back.
Poland does not have that history. This is why I am not sure that such a situation would arise as quickly if things are handled correctly. I also doubt that Poland will be as attractive a destination for many immigrants when they have UK, France, Spain
The key is 'handling it correctly' to stave off an influx. The fear is that a rise in outsiders will lead to a change in how such things are handled. Like us dealing with illegal Mexicans.
I suppose it is similar in the way many Americans beat themselves up with the Native American history/Slavery etc.
Only the folks who let their feelings of guilt control them -and try to force others to feel the same. Me, I never owned a slave nor have I ever killed an Injun. Meh.
I'm not saying you have a need to feel guilty, I am suggesting that SOME people use it upon themselves, others exploit their need to do so.
Yes, guilt gets exploited here like you wouldn't believe. It's an industry. Then it gets turned into reverse racism policy.
I've gotta say, Trev, I for one appreciate your efforts to understand and your conversational tone here. Unlike some other folks...
Ah, you're betraying your Nazi sympathies now
Everyone's a
Nazi or a racist or blahblah silly tired labels... all those with which you disagree. :s
