Come on, can't we have more civil discussions?
I concede that it is annoying to be bracketed with racists when one is not? But understand how it is like also when someone from that community is rising and there is a critique no matter how true it is

I had a chat last night with a friend last night who told me whay you don't believe people do unconditional charity work, nor why you don't believe in other's actions...it's because you're too busy yourself taking and living on German government subsidies for refugees in a country you only could have dreamed of living in 50 years ago. It all adds up.

GlennB,
Apology? For what? For putting you in a corner? Yes I will go back to my cave...it's a lot better place than where you are now. Buh bye!

Angesom AG,
Your just a sad piece of work who will never get anywhere in life. Period. Go back to your fruitless, miserable life.

How much money do you earn doing your "Charitable work"?
I just commented on what i read to begin with .. and the contradictions i found there in .. and did not have any intention of making you look like anything at all .. but .. on your way there .. consider the question above .. and while you do that .. consider the next statment as well .. it would be nicer if our people were not offered and did not recive the "pesudo help" todays rich countries advertise tricking our peoples in the name of Jesus, goodness and riches into economic, personal and social degradation .. thank you but no thanks .. i don't believe shit you're saying.

You are very good at what you do here! I had to re-read my comment to see where I called you a Racist??? And you obviously overlooked the fact that I did not, before you began your defense (relax, being a Racist is not a defensible position, by the way)? You also overlooked the fact that I did not use the words "brown people"?? The words I use often "Brown Race" are the utterance of George W. Bush (now him I know and I can without contradiction label "Racist")! So take your "hard work and earned everything" back to the cave it originated. It is the oldest defense on record! We have heard it before is the message of the earlier comment of Angesom AG!
I seek neither apology nor justification! You are who you are!

PS Angesom_AG
if you bothered to have read the whole blog and comments you might have learned that one of the people who had a great influence in my life and whose teachings and intelligence I will cherish forever was my Ethiopian religion teacher, an I still keep in touch with him long after I finished High School. I see that you are from Eritrea...do you know that I work on the emergency units when northern Africans come on to the Sicilian shores after being at sea for days and offer woman and children first aid? I don't like flaunting my charity work because it's immoral but you've led me to it. Shocked? I believe so. Therefore,stop being so obtuse and see reality for what it is.

Sorry,
an attempt to make me seem what I'm not on your part won't work. Don't take something out of context and twist it to your advantage. I underline that love humanity (you don't know me, my background or the charities that I'm involved with, nor do I have to parade them to you so that I can justify myself) but yet I don't feel guilty for all I have, because it's all be sweated for. Do I have to apologize for that? Sorry, I won't. I stick to what I say and you can make a poster out of it for all I care. I'm tired of people having to be collectively blamed all the time for faults that are not their own.

Your words have failed you, conveying other than what you intended:
Now I'm not going to scream to the world in my defense that I " don't hate the brown people". Why? Because I don't have to. I don't have to slit my wrists and explain who I am, the people I've met and known and the life I lead to someone who is obviously frustrated and has to blame someone for all that is wrong in their lives. Fighting ignorance is a no-win situation and GlennB's words do not affect me in the slightest. If I am who I am today, and my parents and grandparents were who they were and had what they had, it's all because of butt-breaking hard work. I've nothing to apologize for because everything we've had we've earned, materially and respectfully. No one handed us anything. If someone else can't say the same, that's just their tough shit, not mine.
Don't the boldned parts of your writing above - and many others i didn't bother to include - say what you think of the Brown/Black (it doesn't matter how you put it) people and your self?
