Thanks Masha,
One has to consider that Diana has two children, who read newspapers and watch television, and have to put up with that crap, we don't need it here also :)
Martin
Lady Jane's point of view concerning Lady Diana's death was just an example, and fr me it is plausible (just hnk about how the "Royal" reacted about the fact the Lady D. was dating an Egyption, for me, t was unacceptable) ...
any way, I do understand that martin wouldn't accept this point of view ... but it is not a reason for him to be aggressive ...
You didn't like the subject ... then ignore the subject ... there was no harm in what Lady Jane said ...
But Jane you said that this happens MORE in American than the FSU. If Olga took an Arab or African American boyfriend home to meet the family and went for a walk around the local park with him, would there be no reaction? I don't think so. Are men not "brain washing" women in the FSU as well? If she took an Moldovian or Ukranian boyfriend home there wouldn't be a problem as you say and this is what say is an example of russian people not being racist. But its hardly the same thing. I think what Anika said was very true. You only come here and post outrageous statements. Which is fine, but if you do you need to back them up with examples. Not examples like one of your friends told you something or about Diana. With Diana there was a reaction to her dating an Egyptian but there was also a lot of support. And she a british women did actually date him so the "brain washing" didn't work. I don't think guys here are intimidated by you, its just your talking a lot of crap.
Lady Jane ,you havent a clue about russian history. You havent a clue about conflicts between different nationalities. Soviet Union was very young state, established in 1917. Before that was small Russia what took over other lands with different nationalities. Yes nationalities mixed, but it was lots of hate between different nations. Russian hated jews, chechens hated russians, armenians hated aseris, western ukrainisns hated russians,usbeks hated mesheti turks and so on. Right now georgians are sent home from Russia, african students are killed in Russian university towns. About Baltic states (where I live I better dont speak:))
Do some reading, gossips from stupid ladies magazines dont educate you! If you are liberal woman, what ever it means, try to be better informed! Even Wikipedia helps. Nobody dont brainwash smart person (woman or man). If you come out with some statements about Soviet Union exept here are people who were soviet citizens and people who actually live in this area and speak russian.
Britain is probably the most racially intergrated country in the world, it is common to see black and white people inter marry, no one questioned the fact that Diana was romantically involved with an Egyptian whe she was alive, only conspiracy theorists bring up now she dead!
Her popularity was on the slide before she died, she used the media when it suited her, she lived by the swored and died by the sword.
i think it is good that many black people in france and rest of Europe look at benefits of many black people bring here in france and to of course football team.France football team is good because of black people i think france team should be called Africa France team.
i think many women in england are no longer able to get themselves a white man husband because white british women have no confidence in there selves and are desperate for male partner so they make themselves available to black man out of desperation, but this of course is good for black men like myself.
I don't know about negroid Africans but there are many Arabs in FSU and Eastern Europe. It's not something new. Arabs and Soviets were allies. There is discrimination in Russia but it is due to Chechnya. After Sept. 11, Arab students chose FSU and Eastern Europe for higher education over West. I've never heard of any objections if a girl took a boy home to her family. But that's not the welcome they get at the American consulates.
francois .
your observations about white british women are correct. and you are right about france football team maybe they should re name their team cameroon or team africa because ethnically they are african.
what ethnic group do you belong to yourselves?
In case your answer is going to be 'Martian' it would explain the hostility you seem to be getting here ;-)
zeeco -"it is common to see black and white people inter marry"
Yes it is mainly desperate white women that have black men as partners basically these type of white women are not able to get themselves a white husband, and are scared of being left on the shelf.
francois:
just where did you get that priceless nugget of info about british women??
British women lacking in confidence!!!!!!
Pardon me for p*ssing myself laughing won't you,British women might have quite a few shortcomings.......let me tell you a lack of confidence ain't one of em.
Suggest you check your facts in future.

i always feel at home when i come visit to London especially in deeepest Brixton and other nearby areas i feel as though i am back home in africa.
If a Bahraini princess can marry a white American marine so could Diane marry an Egyptian millionaire, but she couldn't because what is good for the goose isn't for the gander in the eyes of you white Western men. While Dodi was a millionaire, marine got fired from even marines, worked in valet parking and since their divorce lives with his stepmum.
i didn't have a problem with it. I couldn't care less. You don't get it jane. She was british and she did date him. How many famous russian woman have dated men from other cultures?
