And how is making a throwaway pun mocking stupid fake-Islamic laws equivalent to saying "what's the difference between a jew and a pizza?"

Why do you have such a raging hardon for the holocaust?

I saw her in concert years ago, before the shenanigans. She was great all around. Now, she shows up an hour late, and brags about no longer taking care of or working on her voice, so her shows are shit. Sometimes concerts start late, and the performer usually comes out, makes a joke, apologizes, or says SOMETHING, you…

I don't know what's worse: artists who arrive late to their shows and make YOU out to be the villain for expecting them to do what you paid for them to do, OR the crazy fans who accept this behavior because hey, it's a celebrity! You should accept their shitty behavior even if you spent half or more of your paycheck…

I saw Lauryn Hill on the 2002 Smokin' Grooves tour which had a pretty amazing line up. Unfortunately, Lauryn got on stage, barely got though one song, stood up and said, "I don't like this vibe." into the mic, and peaced. Thankfully Outkast and The Roots were pretty incredible.

Oh yes but that goes back to the idea that Europeans were there to spread the word of Christ to the heathens of the Americas (who were essentially vanquished) and the African (who was thought to be the son of the cursed Ham, though few Africans at the time followed Christianity, Judaism or Islam) so it's something…

But don't you think those issues are better handled by locals, who resemble the victims, and the state, instead of do-gooders from the West who see themselves like some Mother Theresa? I just don't see missionaries of any kind, whether they are secular or religious, as being of any benefit to Third World countries…

Honestly, any Christian Euro-American involvement in the Third World, despite its lofty aims, will always corrupt and is usually informed by a sense of superiority on the part of the aid workers. Why don't they try to free young American girls from sex trafficking?

...that's exactly what we're mad about. The lawyer is trying to convey that Kenya is a Dark and Scary Third World Country, and therefore the confession isn't real. That's what "pseudo-tribal" is implying. That's racist bullshit.

Yeah, if the Kenyans considered charging him with these crimes and held him, took his passport and refused his leaving the country that all seems like good police work to me.

Your explanation is exactly how I read it. Still racist as all get out. It's the lawyer's job to defend this asshole, but he went for the racism pretty quick. It suggests that we can't trust the accounts of the Kenyan government because booogaa, booga, booga, Africans.

Ugh. I get that defense lawyers have a duty to defend their clients, and "My client was mistreated by the authorities in Kenya" is a valid legal argument (presuming it's true), but the racist language was completely unnecessary and just... Ugh.

No. There won't be.

They fill a gap created by religious, right-wing activists in the west.

And some allow the rape of children. What's your point?

Not to mention that Racist Shitbag, Atty at Law, got it wrong anyway. Voodoo isn't even part of East African tradition! Motherfuckers like that are the reason that his client thinks he can go over and rape African children at will.

I feel like taking his passport away and holding him in the country for a few days are pretty minor infractions compared to RAPING ORPHANS.

He was thinking "black people are scary."

Ummmm...I don't think the context was confusing. I understood it as exactly what you said (referring to what was done to him and not what he did) and still thought it was horribly racist.

I think it's evident that the lawyer is taking about what allegedly happened to his client, and it's still a terribly racist claim.
