For all you John Godson fans out there, lets up the ante a bit. Here's the first openly gay Polish elected official, he's a Warsaw city councilman...and for bonus points, he's half black.

He is also a very nice bloke (I've known him for years, since before Le Madame).

Is he Polish? Tick, Competent? Tick. Sexuality and Race shouldn't come into play at all!
That said, i wonder how Jarnowa feels about this one - afterall he's gay and therefore won't affect his chances of marrying a Polish woman. Good luck Krystian!

Did his socialist Polish constituents elect him? Tick. I don't agree with his political platform, but the people he's representing do, that should be all that matters as far as democratically elected representatives go.

I don't think he was ever elected for anything.

All we need now is a transvestite elected.

It was hardly news in Warsaw but I'm sure it's hugely important here on PF.

He's gay because he's black, all black people are gay and have AIDS.

Anyway whats the big deal? I'm still a tad confused why a random ***** or a fag in the politics make the headlines, they're people too, as long as they're not some sort of political faction based on skin colour or brownie dipping preferations i'm not troubled at all.

I'm against blacks and gays in polish politics as coherent groups, random individuals are not an issue, let em be.

All we need now is a transvestite elected.

Now that would be an issue.

Sexuality and Race shouldn't come into play at all!

At some point they should, what you are influences how you govern.

Personally i view blacks as a race as inferiors who can't govern themselves or create a civilised society, outstanding individuals of their race do not redeem them as a whole in my eyes especially since they're so few so i definitely would prefer to be governed by white people.

Racist? Probably, but also quite sensible when you look at the sh*tpit black Africa is, i dont mind a random murzyn in the govt tho.

There was already the Piesiewicz case... who cares after that? ;)

You don't think posting it helps to sway people's opinions on whether "Poles are racist homophobes"?

Careful not to let too many of those warm and fuzzy equality comments come out.

There we go, finally back to normal.

Anyway, I think that it's an interesting topic that relates to quite a few threads here.

Never been much for all that, people are made unequal, you think otherwise? Shoulder Alexander the Great then.

I do not believe politics should administritavely deny access to unsuitable people, there should be social standards in place that do that though, who's unsuitable, well in democracy its up to the people, including me:)

Not really, between Harry, Delphiaonline and a number of other twats this forum paints Poles in the worst possible colors.

To be honest though the only racist homophobic Pole i know is me.

What happened to Palikot? He probably does night shows at Legierski's gay club Marian's Lips (Usta Mariana) since he can't make it in politics. :)

I can't possibly counteract that, fair play!

Personally i view human race as equal...some people are better at doing certain things than others simple as. Your doctor won't regard you as inferior b'se he earns more than you.

sh*tpit black Africa is

Every continent is a sh*thole these days, depending on what your argument is.

Having peace, stability, medicine, schools, roads, internet and so forth makes Europe SUCH a sh*thole indeed!

Such a rosy place Europe is, isn't it? There's much more to life than all that! The key word is Hapiness. If you're happy with your life, then it don't matter where in world you're. That's why some people come to Europe to look for a better, happier life and likewise, others leave Europe for exactly the same reasons. I find your reasoning quite weak on this issue, i suggest we don't side track the OP's thread.

Dunno, if you posted a picture of JC Watts, that would kind of disprove that.

(PS, we are all Klan members)
