| FaRmLaNd said: I think outside of america its probably not a very well known stereotype (I didn't know it), I think ignorance may very well be what happened here. But if it was intentional then its a bit below the belt. |
Correct. It's not a black stereo type, it's a african american slave heritage stereotype.
It would be like making a saurkraut eating remark to a non-german caucasian.
Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
