Color-Blind Love

#220 Posted by tahmed32,

What? Sir! This is indeed my normal self! I'm extremely fond of collecting kaneezes!!!

Anyway, off-topic, I had sought your and HP's comments re the recent distancing of Zardari from the Murree Accord, and HP gave his comments but still awaiting yours ...

that is funny tameedi saab i just answered that look!

(the population below is based on projected population of bangladesh at that time).

Re: # 219

tahmeed saab that was about an interact by aslami before so dont worry saab it is not good for your kidneys saab (or was it liver, i have to ask westy).

the ocean rising is good saab, too many people everywhere saab. this zameen was made by allah mian for only one billions peoples saab and we have now 6 billions saab. too many saab and a lot in india and baangladaish saab

further to #219: e.g. has anyone wondered how a few short decades from now when all of bangladesh is under water, where will the 200-250 million bangladeshis go?

zeemax: hope all is well at home with you. you dont sound very normal in your post below.

neembu: no problem. :-)

i cant imagine how superficial people can be - i mean, the subcontinent is facing the prospect of rising oceans, melting glaciers, expanding populations. and all people are worried about is the shape of their nose or the color of their skin!!

neembu Ji, I'm waiting for your email. zeemax@hotmail.com ... easy ...! I think you'd make a good and obedient kaneez!

sorry tahmed. i generally agreed with your comments

Masadi is more a disciple of Mills than he is of Marx, but disciples can distort what their teachers put forth. I think he makes great points at times, but a lot of times very questionable. Like suggesting that the reason Pakistanis (and perhaps even Indians) look down on black folk is because they are aping the white man. The practice had been there before white folk came to our lands. Or like talking about how Malcolm X and Dr. King were sell-outs to the white man. . . etcetera etcetera etcetera.

***
aslam644: as neembu points out, race is more a construct. even if many greeks did think they were white, many whites would disagree. all these classifications of races, as was in the census before, and has changed, were in part created in order to justify one "race's" domination over the other.

It is far better in my opinion to see folk as being from different ethnicities since "race" is such a tainted word, but unfortunately I do not see that changing in my lifetime. And even there, there are problems as one ethnic group considers themselves superior to another. We humans are a very messed up bunch.

peon/aslam/neembu: i wanted to chat and no one replied.
:-(

#212 peonoftheeast: sahib just calling someone an idiot is a sure sign of being an idiot sir. but what do i know sir, i am just a stupid chowk poster sir.

#208 aslam: color is definitely a "state of mind": my granduncle was in the british indian army in wwi. their unit was posted in france - and one of the men in his regiment wanted to get married to a local girl. his british commander refused to permit the happy union, saying this would be against the laws of God.

trouble is: too many desis are stuck in the 19th century and the world has moved forward too fast for them.

Re: # 211

aslami saab, i read what you wrote before saab. i think you are an idiot saab but i am only a peon saab, what do i know

Some people have suggested that greeks are not pakka white, but that’s missing the point, if one were to ask greeks who do they identify with I’m pretty sure over 99% would say white European, so may be color is a state of mind.

#187 regard: interesting reflection on the jahil "desi" society where color of skin is considered so important that the term "black" is used as a form of abuse!!
