I'm trying to tell you that they did not use the noise, "muhfugger" when they were in Africa. Muhfugger is not a language but they spoke differently. The point remains that you made a judgement-in-ignorance about a language you know nothing about, labeling it "primitive". All languages are primitive compared to today if you are talking about thousands of years prior to today. You also have no clue whether they have a 'noise meaning "muhfugger"' I'm sure they would have. lojbab Holger http://www.mindspring.com/~holger1/holger1.htm |

It is *impossible* to speak without making vowel sounds. Period. Vowel sounds are a necessary requirement of human speech. And Greek is hardly the first language invented by humans, let alone the first language to be represented by writing. Are you suggesting that the Egyptians (as just one example), who were capable of representing names like Osiris and Amenhotep in hieroglyphs 2000 years before the Greek alphabet was invented, did not use vowel sounds in their languages or did not have words? Or that the Chinese, who have been writing their language down without interruption since 1200 BC (fully 400 years before Homer and the dissemination of the Greek alphabet) do not now and did not when they began writing use vowels when they spoke? All I can say is that you are *sadly* misinformed. -- Be well, Barbara Mom to Sin (Vernon, 2), Misery (Aurora, 4), and the Rising Son (Julian, 6) Aurora (in the bathroom with her dad)--"It looks like an elephant, Daddy."

None is required? You do live in fantasy land. What someone should or
should not feel in a family situation you know nothing about is proof of nothing. R.

Oreo is simply an insult you use when a person of color doesn't agree
with you. R. Steve Walz wrote: greccogirl wrote: --------------- Cosby is a rich rightist asshole, he always has been, he has played golf with Nixon and Reagan, and he's a black racist. The "I don't give a damn" attitide is a form of disrespect that the white society has earned with its racist and economic brutality and unfairness!!! Steve Well I've heard a lot of weird stuff but labeling Cosby as a racist is quite amusing. Besides what you're not getting, is the form of "disrespect" that you think hurts white America is really just hurting black America. It isn't hurting those they think they are hurting. That is what Cosby is trying to say ----------------------- Cosby has always hung out with the GOP, he's a log-cabin repub dildo. Or didn't you know that, he's a ****ing Oreo. Steve |

Stupid remarks for anyone to make. Black Savage indeed. While I do not
agree with you Steve on reparations and a lot of what you say, definitely there is racism and here is a good example. R.

You DO NOT have the right to call a race of people savages simply
because of their origins. How the heck do you know if they were even "savage" in Africa? You need to give up this line if you want anyone to think of you as anything but a racist.

Steve Walz" wrote: Holger Dansk wrote: black-savage-Ethiopian-American women Holger --------------- You're a racist **** and you deserve to be killed. What part of black-savage-Ethiopian-American do you not understand? Your ancestors were definitely black and were and had been savages for thousands of years hunting with spears and they may have even had bows and arrows. They ate wildebeest, antelope, monkeys, guineas, hyenas, wild dogs and each other, etc., etc., etc. They were captured by black savages and sold to white savages who took them across the ocean, primarily to Brazil, but they brought your ancestors to America. There is nothing racist about it. Although slavery is very wrong, and should be abolished all over the world, look how fortunate you are to be living in America instead of living like your relatives do today in Africa. And, if your ancestors had been carried to Brazil, you, more than likely, would never have existed because most of them died. However, you do not owe anything to the descendants of the white people who owned you after you came here. In the first place they are, in no way, responsible for what their ancestors did.
