Hardknock made some rather sweeping statements above about Americans. If the same generalizations were said about any other class or race of people, it would be immediately dismissed as the ravings of lunacy. To wholly characterize 4,041,769 Kentuckians with a few trite generalizations is absurdity. The United States population currently stands at 293,027,571. Judging from what is written above, Hardknock has met them all, I suppose.
I've taken Hardknock's quote, and replaced a few key words. To wit:
Quote:
I recently visited a truly civilized society for the first time a couple of weeks ago and I stumbled onto this program and I found it pretty amusing. I don't see what the fuss is about. You're not supposed to take it seriously. It's a sitcom. Just like the sitcoms we have here. The black students in that article must have been uptight republicans. (They're from Kentucky after all, a state full of republican supporters) Anything that they watch on television that isn't in their realm of "values" is pretty much devil worshipping as far as they're concerned.
The problem with most blacks is that we have a sense of entitlement. The majority of black people think that everything in the world is supposed to conform to them. They think that the world revolves around their race. Not the other way around. So when blacks stumble upon something that's foreign and unfamiliar and not what they expect, they cringe. Hence, the "wary" feelings talked about in this article. Reading it didn't surprise me at all. I would expect that kind of response coming from black people.
By they way, I really enjoyed my time with the civilized white people in Australia. You have a beautiful country down there. I'd like to visit again someday.

This kind of bigotry would never be allowed to stand unchallenged in this forum, and rightfully so.
I guess we save our enlightened (but trendy) tolerance for groups of people that have been certified as worthly by the arbiters of cool.
