People from the Caucasus are commonly referred to as "blacks" (they usually look and sound different from ethnic Russians, but their skin is usually not very dark at all). It is quite common in Russia to regard them with great contempt, and people are not shy about expressing this. Russians who are really intelligent, kindly, and cosmopolitan can make comments about the "blacks" that by modern Western standards would at least be considered to be really poor taste.
If you're a man like me, who believes that bigotry has caused a vast amount of needless misery and murder, you may feel some shock when your beautiful, educated, and dignified Russian or Ukrainian date makes a crude generalization about "blacks" or Jews.
Of course, these attitudes are not universal, and there are plenty of people in Russian-speaking lands who don't hold such bigoted beliefs. But bigotry is not criticized, condemned, or thought dangerous in the same way as has become common in the West.
P.S. to Sooty: I know a Ukrainian gal (as fair-haired and skinned as you could wish) who recently converted to Islam, as happens in almost every country of the world. Religion does not equal race!
Felt depressed last night so I called Lifeline.
Got a freaking call centre that turned out to be in Pakistan.
I told them that I was suicidal.
They got all excited and asked me if I could drive a truck.
Bastards!
And nasfan ain't a Christian, here's a series of pics of nasfan, and several other forum members who shall remain nameless, practicing on an Airbus A300 whilst they wait for danny to come past in his Cessna 206 and/or Pitts Special:
Durak you contradict yourself . The world's Muslim population is very diverse ethnically and linguistically. Sooty is questioning the PC world police who have set up the West to fall from their own culture. So it is a Multi-racial Muslim experiment. You say it yourself.
Also birth rates didn't fall because of prosperity. Birth rates fell due to the destruction of the family unit by liberal thought. Selfishness came first. You weren't enlightened if you were a stay at home mom. In the 1950's in the US birth rates where very high and we were at probably one of the more prosperous times in our history. Then came the 60's and the overprivileged children who decided it was time to rebel agains their parents. This is what we own today. Back in the 50's it didn't take two incomes to run a home, now that we have this socialist give away society, it takes two incomes for some just to keep their heads above water.
I have to laugh a little, I guess we forgot the Love Putin has shown the Muslims in Chechnya. I've spent time learning the thought of the Russian people. Hell they squabble amongst them selves because of cultural,ethnic and political differences. It's prevelant in Ukraine, Russia and the Baltics. Don't forget Serbia and Bosnia.
Anus, go hang out with the muslins, Maybe you will end up like John The Baptist.
Martin, quit picking on Danny, didn't you know he owned the Wilpina Pound Resort. So Anus what did you name the baby as we near the 12th month of pregnancy.
Durak one other point on David Duke. It all depends on who's side your on. Duke is hated by the left in America, but Bobby Byrd, the great pork senator from West Virginia is reverred as a statesman, but he was once a Grand Dragon in the KKK.
Wilpena Pound Resort, despite photographic evidence to the contrary, is very close to Adelaide, a place where danny isn't from, so he cannot possibly have ever been there taking a scenic flight.
But, it must be understood, nothing danny has ever said has been 'prooved' wrong, everybody else is wrong but not danny.
Danny I believe your BS story about as much as I believe in the Easter Bunny. Second I don't even believe you live in Chelny so it would be a wasted trip. You've lied about so much here who gives a rats ass.
Identical twins, pilots license, now turning to the lowest of the low. As Bobby Hull once said I wouldn't piss in your ear if your brains were on fire.
If your story is true maybe someones trying to tell you something.
Let it not be missed that mother and father were killed, then an ex girlfriend died in his arms, then he had an identical brother 'had' indicating that he is since dead and now something has happened to the baby ..... supposedly.
No wonder he's known as 'Billy No Mates', it's a death wish to be anywhere close to him!
Hey asswipe danny, first of all I have never defaced your partners picture, second I have never insulted her, third I could care less if she exists. You have insulted my wife on manyoccasions where I never insulted yours. Just because you have some idiotic youtiube bullshit doesn't provide proof. You may have that picture from your scammer who ripped you off.
When I walk up to your face bitch, you wont' have a chance to hide.
Danny a challenge. If I am the one who defaces your partners picture I will leave this forum for good. Also if you would like to toss the 10k you brag about I will match it and toss 10 more on top of it if it is me. You, if you lose all you need to do is go away and crawl under the rock you came from.
Care to take the challenge you little bitch?.You don't have the balls you cowardly little bitch. Take the challenge you big mouthed pussy.
Uh, danny3777, please for go using my tradmark signoff, you are giving a certain idiot in this forum that you are me!! It's beginning to piss me off. Stirring up trouble, or are you Angus using another handle here as he's done before???
I became his mate when I listen to Martin's depiction of his girl. Terrible things to speak of the dead.
You can justify your actions by saying "turn about is fair play"...."tit for tat" is no excuse.
It's up to someone to call off the dogs and take higher ground.
Nas, his comments to you and your wife are uncalled for and an apology is in order.
When you comment on his every post it comes across like it is fear based. Just ignore it.
Your advice has helped me a lot but I wince when you go off on every Danny comment.
Sooty is not questioning the PC police. He is a racist bigot.
Sooty's name and avatar is not questioning the PC police. He is a racist bigot.
He is a insecure race hater who thinks the "others" are closing in on his turf. He is a racist bigot.
You are right Nas, there are the Serbs, Bosian, Croats, Slovenians all who look similar, talk similar
and they hate each other with a passion.
Nas, you are right about Byrd being in the KKK. Although being a fiddle player, he can't be all bad.
But it goes to show that by renouncing the KKK and embracing civil rights, someone can become one of our great statesmen.
Same is true for all of us.
