[imjustagirl]

Works for me. Kind of wish it was a joke.

 

[Rumpleforeskin]

And the story has a picture of Kobe Bryant accompanying it. Wow.

I look forward to NBC's comprehensive coverage of this vital issue.

My thoughts exactly. I hope the bribes were worth it for those sacks of dirt.

What about the South African Chinese? They will be so upset.

As to the link... If it is true, that is pretty ****ing disgusting.

 

[Grimace]

No sympathy for thirsty Mongolians?

What was that cover of the Johnny Rotten album, "No blacks, no Irish, no Dogs", and now, "No Mongolians."

"Uniformed Public Security Bureau officers came into the bar recently and told me not to serve black people or Mongolians," said the co-owner of a western-style bar, who asked not to be named.

Pastor, as one of the few who have actually been there, how big is the black population of China?

Minimal. The majority of foreigners that I have met over there are German. There are a few English, some Italians and a few Americans.

I can count on two hands the amount of black people I have seen on all the trips I have been there combined.

I will point out though, that there are billboards as high as the eye can see in Beijing and Shanghai that feature Kobe and LeBron. I don't know if that means anything, but I can't imagine Kobe being able to sell products but not being able to get a drink.

If this is true, this is absolutely disgusting.

Should have just given it to Springfield, no matter how much Bart offended the IOC.

Not pleased.

Waiting for Jesse Jackson & Al Sharpton to show up in Beijing demanding justice.

Ahh ... the Chinese are just getting back at the Mongolians for the Yuan dynasty. The Mongolians did nothing for China, save forcing them to build a huge wall, moving the capital to Beijing and re-unifying a previously-divided country.
