Would A White Person Be Allowed To Make Such A Comment?

♫ Melting Pot ♫

[Zacs-Master]

What we need is a great big melting pot. Coffee coloured people by the score.

[hc4361]

Can't agree with that, ummmm. People tan naturally if they are out in the sun, skin bleaching is a totally artificial process.

[Zacs-Master]

Haaaaaa!

Purleaze AOG get a grip & stop inventing ways of stirring things up. We are aware that you do not like any persons who are not
1 Born here of strictly WHITE parentage.
2 Anyone whose skin is not PURE white.
3 Anyone who has the damn cheek to try & live a free life here , away from the ravages of war & give their children a chance of a reasonable life. I personably am getting sick & tired of your negative attitude & no longer wish to read your moanings.

[ummmm]

You get my meaning though.

[Zacs-Master]

I agree with ummmm. The process is irrelevant, it’s people wanting to look a different shade to what they are.

[Zacs-Master]

Crikey, I’m a white person and I’ve made a comment on people’s skin colour. Anyone offended?


Thaought not.

[gingejbee]

I also wonder why this poster has such a narrow range of obsessions....

[Zacs-Master]

Bigotry. Plain and simple.

[mikey4444]

AOG....What is wrong with making this claim, and why does it matter if that person is black or white ?

[Islay]

Is AOG currently outside digging a large hole?

[Bazile]

AOG is quite cunning - he'll run one up the flagpole and see if any one salutes

[Mamyalynne]

It's bait, the OP has happily admitted that in the past.

When wandering around Tesco's (Lotus) in Bangkok the other week, I found it odd, and rather sad, that all the beauty skin products, such as good old Nivea moisturiser - all the usual ones we have here - bore labelling which stressed how said product would lighten (even whiten) the skin. I checked fairly carefully and couldn't find an exception. I don't try to tan, by the way, (OH has skin cancers).

I just found it sad that no-one is ever satisfied to be as they are.

[Theland]

I am extremely offended that other people are not extremely offended by the story that extremely offends me. And my cats are upset too.

[-Talbot-]

Discussing her own experience, she said: 'I am the same colour as Idris Elba... There is still colourism today. I still experience that...



OMG ... there's always the next step isn't there.

[Theland]

Anyway, I am fed up with my white tribe being sidelined all the time. We have our feelings too.

I am not getting het up over it, I am merely posting on a news item that may instil debate, but then you wouldn't know about that would you, since you seem to get 'totally confused'?

[Theland]

I apologise for being white, straight, and not into any ISMS. I must be a burden on the society that gave us Lord Nelson, Wellington, Churhill, and Lenny the Lion.
