One way!

[TWR]

I have a lot of Black persons as friends & they give me some stick?? Sheep SH----- & I give stick back & they take it in good humor, who is it in the Black Religion that takes offence? because the people I have worked with certainty do not, what the hell is this country coming to? it seems we as whites can take the stick but if we return the comments all hell breaks loose.

Black religion?

[sara3]

oh dear....

[boxtops]

What do you mean, black religion?

[ummmm]

What goes on between mates is completely different.

[boxtops]

Exactly ummmm, I can call my friends all sorts and they take it in the spirit in which it's intended. I wouldn't call strangers those things.

i have an iraqi friend,its quite ironic,he was in the first gulf war conflict,refused to fight in the 2nd conflict and was tortured by the saddam hussein regime..he escaped and fled to the uk,was granted political asylum,and is 1 of the nicest guys you could meet we exchange banter,but none of us take it seriously..its horses for courses,obviously you would not ''give stick'' to a stranger would you??..or you could expect a smack in the mouth...

my sister is married to a black man. When he was just her boyfriend, he called her from alaska while i was there and said "does your sister want to talk to me. I am shy so said no and he still now thinks it's because he was black!

[Dolt]

TWR, regardless of how we see things I don't think we're not allowed to express them here. it's too bad that is as there is a lot I'd like to say!

[fliptheswitch]

You cannot be serious.... Surely?

[Dolt]

Steve5. I think TWR is OK with a bit of banter, it's how it would be received if he/she did.

[Answerprancer]

HUMOUR !!! (not "humor")

[ummmm]

How what would be received Dolt?

[snags]

I'm still waiting for TWR to explain what he means by Black Religion...
