Pellius is a good fella. He has given me words of encouragement when I was down. I understand for the most part he doesn't view the negro favorably but I have changed his view and given him hope.
I one day hope to be as lean as he.
Dude, I'm an Octoroon. We might just be related. And I don't really view any race per se favorably or unfavorably but rather their culture. I tend to look favorably on Japanese not because they are Japanese but because their culture tends to make them very polite, considerate and respectful. Living in Cali for over 15 years I really grew to respect and admire first generation Mexicans. Hardest workers I've ever seen. Never complain. Mind their own business. Devout Catholics and always family first and last. But by time you get to the 3rd generation Americanized Mexicans it's another story. Punks and freeloaders. The Black underclass, and I had no preconceptions of them because I had zero experience with them growing up in Hawaii, seem very hostile with this perpetual chip on their shoulder. Always on the look out for any slights and offenses. They seem to see everything through the prism of racism. If a person is rude or inconsiderate to me I just think he's a jerk. But to a Black it's because he's a racist. Everybody is deep down a racist. And they seem to be oblivious to others around them. Always profane and loud no matter where they are or who is around them. I stopped going to the movies because of that. They can't keep quiet in the theater. Now you compare an American Black with a Black from say, Eritrea, like a good friend of mine was. Or this girl I use to date from Somalia. Totally different. Like night and day. None of this victim mentality or how everybody owes them something. Just happy to be in America where they have freedom and opportunity. No complaining how everyone and everything is against them. And they suffered far more in their country than anyone living in America.
It's the culture not the race as such. Muslim culture is prehistoric and barbaric. What kind of country allows little girls to burn to death when the building caught on fire because they couldn't be allow out in public without their burkas? Hear about that couple in jail for kissing in public? WTF? But if that Muslim who allowed those girls to burn to death was brought up in a modern Western culture, with all it's flaws, they'd be a completely different and more tolerate person.
You, Wiggster, strike me as an exceptionally good guy. Very level headed and down to earth. You seem very easy going but also with a sense of pride and dignity. You'll give a guy a lot of rope but if he crosses the line you'll hang him with it. It doesn't matter what color you are.
