Billy Weeks,
I only repeat what I heard on the radio. granted it was a few years ago and I found it so incredulously stupid I remembered who said it and what he reportedly said. I stand corrected if he did not say it. For the record, I am NOT racist in any way, I was born in Nigeria and was brought into this world as a white person in a black mans world. I have every respect for every man whatever colour or creed, but an intolerance of crass stupidity. I hold my hand up as crassly stupid if the story was untrue, but ask, it this perhaps, an example that maybe we should not believe all that is reported in the paper, on the radio or on the internet............. I am also a traditionalist and am sure there are many traditions in other countries which may be construed as offensive to me and my beliefs, but I would not want to stop them from carrying them out, what I would want to do is learn about them and their origins, after all we white people have been responsible through history for some pretty nasty things. I think tolerance is what is required, Man has become so intolerant of fellow man - lets all just try to understand each other.
