Crazy
"Keith Bardwell, of Tangipahoa Parish in Louisiana, denied racism but said mixed-race children were not readily accepted by their parents' communities."
BBC NEWS: Anger at US mixed marriage 'ban'
What's up with that???
He "did not believe in 'mixing the races'."
Crazy. One word from me.

The Black Woman in European Media
Got this interesting question the other day:
Are black women in Sweden or Europe in general portrayed better in the media than in the States (i.e. Hollywood, rap videos, etc.)? How so?
In some ways I would say yes, and in some way no.
First of all, Europe and specially Sweden are very inspired by The States in so many ways. From culture, music, movies, tv, food etc. And american TV series and movies are very common here, so in that way I would say it is the same as in U.S. And when it comes to music - american hip-hop and r&b are very popular here too. In those ways I guess it's the same way as in the States. But in some ways we are looking at thos culture aspects in a not allways "dead-serious" way. So if the black woman are portrayed in one special "american" way, whe can see through it. But in many ways, the black woman often appear in media as a "victim" - like the vulnerable and exposed african woman.
But in many ways, the black woman are also shown in a way more positive way - though creativity for example. So it is no easy question to answer.
My fellow Europeans - fill me in! :)

How to be screwed: 3 easy steps to get filled with hate
How to be Screwed aka Truth B. Told:
Step 1: First you gotta collect a whole lote of hate. Hate towards everyone and everything. Not necessary anything special, as long as you feel a deep hate towards it. But it can help alot if the hate is focused towards the opposite to yourself.
Step 2: Make the women feel like they are insecure and don't respect them at all. And be sure to label that "opposite person" as the main source of evil of everything.
Step 3: Don't ever look at the reality. Don't use any truth what so ever. Live in the past and dont accept no independence or positivity. One good advice: Be a real hater and spread hate about people who are doing something good.
Overall advice: You got to have a lot of unused spare time in your life to be able to bring up all the hate. No time for anything else - focus!

"Yes, if you are..."
Read this chat conversation with Ryanair's CEO, Michael O'Leary (Ryanair is one of the larger airways companies in Europe). And when he got the question "Do you have a job for me?" this is the answer he gave: "Yes, if you are single, female, blonde and very attractive..." What's up with that???! Seems like this guy is prefering the limited stereotypes. This is a crazy comment - reading it between the lines, it's like he is saying the staff in the cabin crew can't be black women.
But I've travelled with Ryanair two times. And once I saw this beautiful black woman working in the cabin. I wonder what she thinks of the comments her boss is putting out.
More black women to Ryanair!!! :)

Shame on you!
I do not really want to go deep into this, cause it's not the main focus on this blog, but...
This e-mail I got today from "Jorge Raul Ramirez". I do not censor it:
"oh my goooood! You must be the biggest(by far), dumbest swedish mongrel gay
ever! You are a fucking nigger lover. Cant believe this! Just fucking go to
Africa and get out from Sverige [Sweden; my comment]! Shame on you!!!"
ever! You are a fucking nigger lover. Cant believe this! Just fucking go to
Africa and get out from Sverige [Sweden; my comment]! Shame on you!!!"
I think it's ashame that people still can be so limited in their mind and brain...
After reading some of all those "haters" e-mails it sometimes feels like we are back in the 50's or something. Just thinking of the couple Richard and Mildred Loving, that wasnt able to be legally married, just beause she was black and he white. Since that law changed in 12th of June 1967, it's been over 40 years. And still people are so limited. Why?
I mean, no racists can scare me off from what I like and who I am. And today with internet those people seems to hide behind their computers and screens. I cant imagine those people would dare to confront me in public with this crazy racist talk.
And I'm not ashamed of who I am and what I like. I could even give out my home address here, Im not afraid! I love Black Women! End of this discussion! Ha!
This can be seen as a public announcement: That racism crap you are e-mailing me do not touch me!

Reminisce: Moesha / Brandy
Oooh I remember back in the days (96-97-something) - my favorite tv show was... Moesha! :) And I had such a big crush on Brandy (Norwood, the singer). I didnt even had the channel that was broadcasting the show here in Sweden, but I convinced my friends to tape it for me so i could watch it later! LOL
