Then the other night 2 Americans were stabbed and now this? Well 3rd world countries usually follow the rules of a hundred years in the past.

Why did we even go over there? In the past countries have boycotted the olympics for much less then this.

Lets not turn this into another Walmart thread. We all know your stance on that. I was using Walmart as a slight exaggerated example of how they treat their people. Not a whole lot better then China. Walmarts human rights violations are very well documented.

As for China.......SCREWUM !!!

The guy who said they dont seem to have a problem with Kobe, yea aint that the truth huh. I guess a black sports star is different then an average black guy to them.

I have no idea what you are talking about? I have no real opinion on wal mart, I don't shop there. send me a DM if you want to fill me in. hijacking the thread is a waste of time.

It dosen't matter what country the black comes from they are not to be served.
I told this to a friend from Africa and he thought I had to be lieing, he thought no country or people would ever be this blatantly racist in this period in history.
I also told him that much of their perception of us was introduced by American media.
Can someone please rationalize this for me, I'm trying not to be bitter, but it seems that as a black man there's just no chance of being seen as a true human being no matter where we live or visit.

Just like we don't have an issue with Yeah Ming (no I don't know how to spell it) over here. I don't know that I would want him drunk though.
