WOW that's pure racism!! 

Don't know why Mel Brooks "Blazing saddles" comes to mind....

From an interview of the author, about his book on this same topic subject, posted on Amzon.com -

"Are you racist against white people?  Not outwardly."

Douche!

[Dave W]

He is white.

Like it or not, it's meant to be humorous, not racist.

i thought the satire would be instantly understood. guess not.   

[Dave W]

White folks don't understand satire? 

[Lightyear]

What the Hell is satire!?    And I AM NOT SENSITIVE - dammint!

[Iome]

[nofi]

White folks don't understand satire? 

It goes with the lack of rythm

I don't like any of the stuff listed on that site, except the iPod and "Mad Men". Do I have to go in for testing, reprogramming or something?

But in South Africa it's the other way around! Soccer is the underdog sport of the black masses (the national soccer team only has one white player) and rugby still is - from Apartheid days, when South Africa would force visiting New Zealand national teams to play without their Maori players and the white Kiwis shamefully obliged  - the sport of the whites. SA's current national rugby team has not a single black player, only a black trainer hired a few years ago, explicitly to "increase the racial mix".

I certainly hope the World Cup goes well in SA and helps the country heal some more. I admire how that country did not see the end of Apartheid in bloodshed - they should build a Mandela statue on every street corner -, but they still have a long way to go, white unemployment is 4%, black unemployment 40%, white wealth has risen in the last ten years by 70%, black wealth by only half of that. Now the fact that compared to other African countries black wealth has risen at all when it is falling almost everywhere else is a good thing, but the fact that the gap continues to widen even after the fall of Apartheid is not.

I read today That Mandela's grand-child was killed by a drunk driver. Very sad.

That was certainly not a great start... 13 years old... RIP
