that's ok.

no we enslave for lots of stuff.

but, i don't think that many Africans would find this acceptable.

Actually... I'm pretty sure, they think it's a big deal.

now that i think about it. i remember it being pretty uncomfortable walking home, at times, when i was "the white dude".

Way to go tribdog, you've destroyed yet another thread. Right off the bat you completely change the subject, then start ridiculing anybody foolish enough to try to reason with you.

I'll just stay out of the general chat from now on since it means I won't have to deal with this crap.
