marathon

Just watched the London marathon for about an hour on and off, I didn't see one coloured person I wonder why 'they all say they are British so why weren't they taking part!!

[daffy654]

What has being British got to do with running in the London Marathon? People from around the world take part every year and the best distance runners in the world tend to be black people.

[funnygirl]

We black folks have got better things to do than run millions of miles around London!!!!

[daffy654]

Hmmmm,calling me a racist,you couldn't be more wrong gravitate,but if it makes you happy to insult me go ahead.

[funnygirl]

Well that's for me to know and you to find out..........

[daffy654]

Gravitate,I am not being racist in that comment,I was stating a fact.Can you seriously tell me you don't think that Gebre Haile Selassi is probably the best distance runner in the world EVER!.

You have really quite upset me now by comparing me with Hitler.How can you think i'm a Nazi when I am praising the skill of the black runners,that doesn't even make sense.

Grav,!

I have frizzy hair which I currently wear up, down, tied back or loose as it is longish!!
My hair is too fine for an afro, as I also have white blood in me!!

And as for an afro on the chest, I've yet to see that. Mr Funny, who is also black, is quite hairless, except for his head and nose!!

And DIz is right, we are black not coloured. Get with it!!!!

[gelda]

I was talking about British Muslims, West Africans, Africans etc. Just strange to me London is full of them so surely a few could take part, there's nothing racial about that!!

[funnygirl]

So Gelda, why have you not included British Blacks from the caribbean in your statement??!!

[gelda]

Isn't black a colour then!

[China Doll]

No. Black, white and grey I believe are classed as shades.

[banned-dot]

did you watch the London Marathon that was running today in London, the Capital of England? ??

[funnygirl]

Words fail me!
