Life / Do colored immigrants in Poland function better than in Western countries? [295]
I liked the words 'Spook' and 'Jiggaboo' until I realized what I was saying.
Most of us have come a long ways since those days of offending a race.
On the flip side, I find Afro-American just as offensive unless they are an ex-pat.
If they were born in said country then they are a Pole or an American and not an Afro-Pole or an Afro- American.
I do like the term 'spade' as used by clint eastwood in gran turismo

Spot on joun.
Like I said in an earlier post that the word "colored people" went out about 50 years ago.
I have noticed that it was then and still is quite popular with the older bias Polish people here in the U.S. and everyone in Poland.
Today if you were to call a Black man "colored" you most likely would be picking yourself up off the sidewalk as Black people here in the U.S. find it very offensive.
It would be like me calling you a Limey or me calling Paulina a Polack.
So when I here the words "colored people or people of color" it sounds like it is coming from someone who is very illiterate.
Some may call it political correctness, some may call it woke. I call it old fashioned good manners.

I like the fresh big Black sweet cherries right out of the orchards that are cold and firm and juicy and pop in your mouth when you bite into them.
Tart cherries are used for pies.
Infused cherry vodka is o.k. for a change but not for everyday swill.

The World's Largest Cherry Pie as part of the Charlevoix, Michigan's annual cherry festival, a giant pan was built, along with an equally titanic oven.
Local farmers supplied the ingredients.
The result, a cherry pie weighing 17,420 pounds. (7900 kilo's)
It was a world record.
Can you imagine how much wine those cherries could have made.
We have cherry wine of many kids available here and it really is not that popular as far as I know.
The cherry vodka made here locally is much more popular.
Gypsy distillery vodka known worldwide.

It's like fingernails on a chalkboard when I hear the word "colored" to describe people.
That derogatory word went out about the same time Polock did back in the 50's.
The only people that I hear use it 60 years later are Europeans.

I wish so bad that I could find my post in archives from years ago where I posted that Poland would be the major player in the E.U. soon.
The diminishments and laughs I got from the Brits and Germans from that post was all but pure negative disagreement.
It's not just the new military might that is making Poland stand out in Europe, it is Poland's resolve to not be bullied by Putin.
This resolve was BEFORE Ukraine and has only grown stronger with their new military ever since.
Remember how Putin threatened Poland not to dare send any weapons across their border to Ukraine at the start of the war ?
We all saw how far that threat went.
Now you Polish girls need to start pumping out some future soldiers to maintain your military and growing economy.
It would certainly be good for Poland's economy and growing role as a major country.,,

Back to a gfi for Kitchen and bathroom circuits.
The ground-fault circuit interrupter, or GFCI, is a fast-acting circuit breaker designed to shut off electric power in the event of a ground-fault within as little as 1/40 of a second.
Google it for yourself.
Why Europe doesn't have these baffles me.

That is why it is a law in the U.S. that both the bathroom and kitchen circuits must be on a gfi or ground fault interrupt breaker in the service box.
They pop the breaker if the circuit gets grounded in the least bit.
You might get a zap but not enough to kill you before the breaker pops off and kills the current in that circuit.
It is dangerous in the kitchen if you touch a socket with wet hands.

What's your point, your blood has nothing to do with D-Day or those prison camps.
Then you of anyone should understand and be more than grateful individually to have Polish war prisoners liberated by American soldiers.
The hell too, boy, especially when you try to glorify yourself with your blood flow remark. Pfffft !
I have uncirculated historic pictures that were taken in those camps by American soldiers. You don't.
I had relatives that liberated those camps, you didn't.
I have relatives that died at Normandy on D-Day to help defeat the Nazi's, you don't.
That makes me more of an authority than you on the subject.
So if I seem obnoxious, I have ever right to get steamed when some ungrateful Polish kid tries to diminish D-Day and glorify himself.
