I appreciate your candor as well, amigo. Take care.

Dude. This article is about slender, blonde, white, stunner Katy Perry surrounding herself with what appears to be caricatures of black women with extremely exaggerated features. Just look at the picture. The power differential seems pretty obvious to me, even if Katy may not have envisioned it that way. In America,…

Look, dude. Sorry, but as an Asian-American I am as dismissive of the Japanese perspective on this American matter as your white dude perspective.

Is Avril Japanese?

Yeah. I'm saying that Africans in Africa would not understand what is going on with blackface in the US. Just like Japanese in Japan would not understand what might be going on with that Avril video.

Oh, I just now saw your other comment. Looks like we are in agreement.

I haven't seen the video, so I wasn't commenting about it specifically.

Well, Japanese are not a minority in Japan.

Someone in Mexico I know calls "cat style." I have no idea how common that is; usually people call it "doggie style." (In Spanish, obviously.)

Yeah. Newbie mistake.

One problem is that the Su25 can't fly as high as they are claiming.

Ok, but I'm not that one who made the original comment! ;)

I think they meant Gerhard Schröder. The one who celebrated his birthday with his pal Putin after Crimea had been invaded.

Yeah. They've even found perfectly intact duty-free bottles of alcohol.

I don't know if you saw my comment below, but it looks like German parliament members are finally speaking a bit differently now, judging from this article published by Der Spiegel today (in German): http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutsc…

It looks like they have already started using them as a bargaining chip. Saw some news on that earlier today. (Can look for it if you want.)

I don't think the NSA stuff is affecting this. Merkel is in line with the rest of western Europe on this, after all.

Yeah...

Well, they're American dudes amongst us. Maybe they are even commenting on this thread.

But they also think that rape babies are a "gift from God." Seems like that is the starting point in their "logic." And that leads to further stupidity that I'm gonna stop trying to figure out...
