But over the last 30 years there have amends been made, there is a Waitangi Tribunal, completely separate from the government which listens to Iwi (tribal) claims and then adjudicates them. The government has to abide by these decisions and has handed over vast tracts of crown land and money to Iwi as recompense for their lossses. At least here, we are seeing some small redress for the past, an example is that the native greenstone has all been given as a resource to one of the Iwi as a trust, they have the right of ownership for all of this resource. Whilst by no means perfect this is one of the most forward thinking and caring projects for an indigenous people to give them back what was taken and to create a partnership and move forward that I have seen, giving back a small measure of hope and pride.

In Canada being fair and forward thinking to a fault, we basically let Black people do anything they want short of holding positions of real power or getting too uppity.

In Wales we're even more progressive as we completely encourage the black communities to adopt holding positions such that propagation isn't such a thorny issue for indigenes.

Re: Meaningful Conversations With A Black Person.

I went to school, sixth form, with a few dewds of colour. Not only were they decent chaps, but they told me some of the best tales of casual crime and firing "kala-shin-kovs" off the roof back home in Eritrea I have evar heard in my whole life.

My very favourite interchange was with a black bloke with blond hair, though. Some sort of school summit type of deal with thousands of students from different schools. So I'm standing some ways behind him talking with my mate, and I comment, for whatever reason thinking the guy wouldn't hear me, with a "hah, no way is that his real hair colour..." naturally he turns around, and tells me, loudly, that it's too his real hair, super pissed off, like. I then relate this to one of my formerly african mates laughing about it, cos, you know, I'm hella thoughtless, and he goes "Cool! Yusuf* is here".

Turns out they're all mates. Like, all the black dudes I know and that bloke.

I'm fairly certain he dyed his hair and exaggerated the angriness for shits and giggles, though, working on the assumption that he shared the same sort of humour as my mates, who liked their mindgames, the douchebags.

There was this other dude I also knew in sixth form, though. Not really adept at meaningful conversations, but brilliantly surreal in an unintentional sort of way. Self-proclaimed ladies' man who kept getting rejected. Had front teeth jutting out straight forward, but were in blatant denial that he needed dentistry. Odd dress code with silk shirts in loud colours, chinos and patent leather shoes

Ran into him years later, at uni. He was running his own travel agency out of his tiny student apartment and asked me to help him sort out his computer. While I was there he showed me his indoor barbecue grill, which was in fact an outdoor grill, indoors (he'd cunningly ripped apart the pre-installed firealarm in his apartment (required by law) going by the wires hanging out of it). He also had a massive set of speakers surrounding something like a 15" TV. His fuses were prone to going out, he told me, so he'd sorted it by wrapping them with copper wire and putting them back into his fuse box.

The place was a fire hazard wrapped in another fire hazard.

But he had braces on.

*name altered cos I don't really remember his real name.

He did say Eritrea, which is not in fact an American ghetto. That would be little Eritrea. I put my money on Samuel, just for the extra racial profiling.

Being from South Africa and having therefore had more black friends than I could ever begin to count, I can honestly say that the whole point of this thread borders on brilliantly hilarious.

You guys are awesome.
Misguided and (in some cases) downright moronic, yes.
But still awesome.

Re: Meaningful Conversations With A Black Person.

A few years ago, I ran away from home to a homeless shelter. When I was in the shelter, one black man told me, "I won't hurt you and I won't kill you, but if you have money, I will rob you." He told me he had been recently released from prison.

Do you realize the irony of running away from home to go to a homeless shelter? :unsure:

Spelling what out? I would've thought the irony was quite self-evident in the title. I literally haven't had a meaningful conversation with a black person. Even on the internets, which is available (I've heard) to them, not one has come forward with anything meaningful. Or non-meaningful for that matter. They're clearly the racist ones, not me. Just cos your skinny white arse facilitated a black eugenics commune/ghetto doesn't mean we all did.

Racist.

Re: Meaningful Conversations With A Black Person.

Come to think of it I have been on the internets for quite some time, and can't say I've contributed to any meaningful conversations. Maybe I'm black. that'd really piss me off to find out my wife~~'s sleeping~~ used to sleep with a black guy. :fist:
