tg are rascist?

[due Sept. 13th! :)]

Doing a little creative editing there, are we???




Yes, the difference is American money is green, and worth mucho Baht. This is a difference they are all well aware of. TGs like Americans!! They can recognize an American accent from a block away!! Not to mention that I don't think Africans dress the same as Americans. You are not an African. You are an American, so don't worry, be happy!

Green goes along way

All money that spends, tends to be green.

The funniest part about all this to me is the explosion of the *Hip-Hop Nation* in the asian communities(Heard it used that way on news last week). And I am not just talking about LOS, I mean Asians in general. Although, correct me if I m wrong, isn't *Hip Hop Nation* a very generalized way of saying *American Black*? You can even see it in not just varieties of music but apparel and attitudes as well. I am not saying this to hype up anything, it is just funny to me when I see it. Even as I walked around BKK with the solicitations of *chocolate man* coming from a few BGs. And I know everyone has seen it in clubs. Also funnier still was hearing different BGs make it a point to say, almost defiantly, "I like chocolate man"! So that in itself throws me in a paradox. I mean, at what point did they feel they had to make a choice and why did I feel less like a tourist and more like a *Commodity*.

Thanks for that Armand....I find everybodies life stories fascinating.....and yours is simply light years from mine..........to imagine what you have experienced helps me put things into perspective for myself....and allows me to understand others at the same time.....and I hope through this process to generate tolerance, understanding and yes..... even love for others

i must admit that one of my worst nightmares would be to be involved in armed conflicty of any kind....however i would like to think that I would defend myself and other good people around me if harm came my/our way.....

I would simply hate to be in a position though where I had no choice.......whether that be from socio-economic, enforced or any other reasons

and thanks for what you bring to the board Armand.......you are a straight shooter buddy.....no pun intended!.....55555

I think that what Frode10 is doing is giving us all an insight to as what a former BG is thinking. Many times in many threads many have said " it would be nice to really know what the BG's are thinking" about this and that.
I know the PC thing here would to not say these things. But I also think that Frode10 is talking and educating his wife everyday.

Because a thing is not PC does not mean that we cannot discuss the issue.

Well - thats just my thinking.

I had a TG that said she did not like black men, she called them chocolate man (no offence intended to any one). I found this very amusing as Thais and particularly this Isan girl aren’t white.

Asians are particularly racist, see how Thais treat other Thais from other areas to their own and see how they treat other asians who aren’t Thai. From my experience very similar in asia if you they aren’t from that country. Try Malaysia which is split into 3 races, Malay, Chinese and Indian and they all do not have much time or regard for the other.

I was told that the middle eastern men aren’t liked due to the hygiene thing but also in Pattaya they have a reputation of one person taking a girl and having his friends waiting in the room, can not confirm this but I was also told that is why they charge them more. Pattaya seems to have a separate area for the middle eastern gents and I have also heard that the TGs do that don’t go with middle eastern men do not associate much with the girls that do. Can’t confirm this, just what I heard.

I think that to be from an ethnic minority or to be a poor uneducated white in a lot of the southern states of the US it is not a great life Chris.........in fact it could be seen by some as an early death sentence

These people have some of the worst standards of living in the world and have no access to welfare or health care and if you look at the statistcs you can see that they fare much worse than many people in the poorer countres you mention above.......and it would seem that the rest of America doesn't know or care abouit these folk.........case in point New Orleans.......imagine if that was LA or NYC.........then you would have seen some action........

And to me that this is tolerated in a country that is spending trillions of dollars on "Defence" is a diabolical condemantion of the "Country"........and please don't read this as condemnation of American people.........it is aimed fairly and squarely on the government and large corporate America and those that do their bidding.....ie lobbyists and the whole stinkin' industry

Well, I don't understand why you don't like that I share this with other BM's here in the forum. People ask many questions here and to answer some of them maybe you have to be thai. I don't understand why you have so much against that. My point with the post was; yes many of them are racist's, but maybe they are because they don't know better.

How old is your thai-partner, how long did she stay at school and for how long has she been together with you, a western guy who can teach her something about the world? I will try to teach her myself, but before that I don't see anything wrong in telling how some thaigirls see the world.

Yes, I am absolutely calling these guys "hip-hop"- these artists, and a few others, still put music out with a message. Outkast happens to be one of my favorites, but I can see why you may see them as having this mixed quality.

The message is there for them, but not so much as some of the others that I have listed; to me, they are true artists in that they are always striving to push the musical envelope-->= true music artists.


Yep, Dead Prez aka Dead Presidents...haha, I refer to them as PE 2000.

You might also check out Jedi Mind Tricks, though I will caution you...the lead artist definitely has issues with certain groups and he makes no effort to hide it. Also, similiar to RZA, but no where as intelligent as, the lead rapper/performer sometimes goes on these rants that at first may seem like "?", but after giving it a listen through a few times (sometimes) you finally get whatever point it is that he's trying to make..haha, if any.

( long pause) Common is also one that I failed to throw in there.

 

[dijahtude08]

Yes but IJ that song was made in a studio in London in 72 i think.
So what you say here clear out James

When Jagger did show up he was not happy with the song but did some backing vokals on it,he first saw the text when he arived at the studio
and the manager did convince him to sing with Carly on this one.
They was never good friends afther.

But dont you think that text best suits Mick ? hehe its funny,even today people discuss this

 

[IWillWaterBoardScottWhite]

interesting question this and definately a topic for discussion









only joking :mad2:

IMHO, American music is the best music in the world. For well over a century, African-Americans have been at the forefront of American music, on the cutting edge, and leading the way into the future. Hip-hop is just the recent expression of that phenomenon. Besides the facts that there are loads of talented, prolific African-american artists, and the urban black communities are hotbeds of musical innovation, there are other more intangible qualities that makes their music very attractive to young people, both white and Asian. There is a freedom of expression there, an unabashed, unashamed exuberance that says, "I'm hot!! I got it goin' on!" For Asians, in particular, who are raised to be very polite, deferential and modest about their own abilities, gifts, or accomplishments, I think that it is very appealing when they hear someone expressing, in a very dynamic way, the kind of hip pride, confidence, and sometimes defiance that hip-hop music expresses. In every shy, self-conscious, easily embarassed Asian kid, perhaps there is a secret desire to tell the world that they are proud of themselves, and a wish that they had the confidence to defy their social conventions, and be a little more assertive about showing their world who they are as individuals. Adopting the apparel and trappings of hip-hop culture is just an extension of that.

I may be reaching a bit here, but that is just what crossed my mind when you posed your question. When they see you, you personify all that the hip-hop culture means to them, which effectively reduces you to being a commodity, because they are looking at you more as being representive of the hip-hop culture, and less as an individual. You have been objectified.

Does that make sense or am I off on this one?

 

[capone_italia]

Well I can definetly *confirm* the chocolate man appendage. At first I was a bit taken by it, not saying that I liked or disliked, I just found it rather *blah*. But then it just bothered me if someone said it from a club that I had frequented(I mean come on now, it was low season, I am one of two people in the go go and you can't remember (real name or at least real enough)555555555555.

But opposite side of the spectrum, I have been emailing this TG that I met there back and forth and even though I have never made mention of it, SHE was apologizing to me about the way people would act when I first walked up somewhere.

Hi N1,

I know that you have traveled a lot and so have I. I agree that the US spends a lot of money on the military and that lobbyists, large corporations, and our elected officials control our purse strings(went out with a senator's daughter when I got out of college so I know how he and his wife lived) and that not a lot of it goes to the poor. But I have lived in NYC, Los Angeles, Miami, and Boston and spent considerable time in Atlanta, Tampa, New Orleans, Chicago, Las Vegas, Houston, Honolulu and San Diego in the US and lived in Maracaibo Venezuela and spent considerable time in Mexico City, Tijuana, Manila, Bangkok, and Singapore and nowhere in the US do the living conditions compare anywhere close to the squalid conditions that people live in in all of the foreign cities that I have spent time in except Singapore. And the same with the country side.

If one of the foreign cities had been flooded like New Orleans was it would have become one big disease epidemic with thousands dying in the resulting epidemics. So obviously we must be doing something right. Every country needs to improve on how the poor are treated but the US can't be compared to a third world country in this respect.

Maybe if we didn't send billions of $ of aid around the world and kept the money in the US for social programs to help the poor everything would be different. For evey 1 billion dollars a year in aid that we send somewhere else, 100,000 US citizens could each be given $10,000 a year. And in the US people have the opportunity to succeed if they are willing to try.

In most of these other countries you are condemned to a life that is determined by the circumstances of your birth, depending upon what class your parents are from.

Anytime man! I do not for one minute think o9f myself as a saint(believe me I am far from it), I simply try to live my life to the fullest and at times pay back old debts of good deeds that someone in my past may have bestowed upon me. As long as everyone does at least one good deed per week(that is not that much, 5555), look where we could go. And contrary to popular beliefs, good deeds are not measured in monetary value. Sometimes just a simple wai, to a BG or any person who is looking down on there luck does wonders . I only use that example because it is relative to this forum.

 

[anonymous...]

In my business I really don't care where people come from and what color they have as long as they have work-permission and are good in their job's. All together we are about 75 - 80 people working here and beside the norwegians I have people from these countries:

3 from England
1 from Ireland
1 from Germany
1 from USA
3 from Thailand
5 from Sweden
2 from Australia
4 from Somalia
1 from Russia

5 of them are black; one bartender from England and 4 cleaning staff from Somalia.
