Why Poles love Russia [105]
Interesting thread! As an American, I must share this.....(In order to fully understand, you need to understand race relations in the U.S.)
About a week ago I was shopping at an estate sale (it is an "open house" where people can purchase items no longer wanted by the family of someone who died). The sale was held in a town where African Americans are moving in and becoming the majority. There was an African American man and his wife asking the nationality of the woman who was running the sale. She told them she was Polish. He wanted to know if she was pure Polish, and in the thinking of a typical 3rd generation immigrant, she replied that Polish people are really a mixture of nationalities because of invasions of Poland. The black man said to her that this means Polish people have been BASTARDIZED--and she agreed!
Not one to shrink from confrontation, I spoke up and told him Poles are not bastardized. They have been POLLUTED. By the look on the faces of the man and his wife, they were upset with my analysis, but they didn't ask me for further explanation. They paid for their purchase and left. I'm sure the word POLLUTED brought visions of the Ku Klux Klan and racial purity to their minds. I wasn't talking about race--I was talking about rape.
I apologized to the woman running the sale, but told her I was tired of some African Americans insulting white people at every opportunity.
If they had talked to me, I would have told them that in war, rape is often used as confirmation of victory and domination. A woman who is raped and impregnated by a foreign invader does not give birth to a bastard. She knows full well who the father is, but only by face, not by name. A bastard, on the other hand, was given birth by a woman who cannot identify the biological father, usually because she had willing sex with multiple men (which is a sterotype of African American women living on child welfare checks instead of working).
Was I correct?
P.S. I sent a link to the You Tube video "History of Poland in Ten Minutes" which I found here on the PolishForums.com site to the owner of the estate sale company!
