you cannot be serious!

Well well well...Looks like those 'masques' that Fanon discussed in his book should be applied to certain students in the university! Making racially charged comments in a country which is has wounds created by race is not a smart move. Simply because you cannot enter into the university because you have moved out of halls does not mean you can abuse the guards. It doesnt matter how much alcohol you have consumed. It doesn't matter how many drugs that you think make you cool that you have swallowed. You simply cannot abuse guards and say that they basically have a slave mentality because they work for someone! And you especially cannot say that if you are white and the guards are black! Lord, people, I think some people left their brains at the Parisian airports before they got connecting flights to Fort-de-France. Yes, someone ACTUALLY said that. There was a party and him and his friends couldnt get in because it was very late even though he was a university student, the guards here are automatically suspicious of men trying to come in late at night. But of course he felt like he had to drop an atomic bomb -- well done sweet heart! You are lucky that they were on duty because your face would have been blended into the tarmac of the road. Do you want to know how that would have been done? Yes, darling baby boy, you would have been steamrolled!

I cannot believe the stuff that comes out of people's mouths especially people who seem to be open-minded and have come to an ethnic country to learn more about its' culture. Does it pose underlying questions? I dont think so. It just shows that only one label can be applied: counterfeit.
