Were you kind of upset when Kayne West said George W. Bush hates black people?

I understood his discontent. But I don't see how that is at all relative to the topic. It wasn't like he said "All black people are democrats".

Actually, I answered it to a degree, and you still haven't answered mine. I'm not "muddying it up", I'm relating your topic to another brand of "nation hating". If someone doesn't give you the exact answer you want to hear, you get your panties in a bunch.

Why is it okay for people to hate Americans, based solely upon being Americans, but you take issue with America's general distaste for the french?

I find French people to be rude, arrogant, and tasteless. One big reason many Americans dislike them is the way they treat Americans who visit there.

But they do make a good vodka. Only good thing in france is the deserts, and Grey Goose.

But do the French really treat American any worse than any other European country? Also, Parisians definitely fit that steriotype, but in other parts of France, the people were very nice.

Aight bro. You seem to be a bit off on your own now. I'm having a hard time following what it is exactly you're trying to say in any of your posts after you ignored PaperPlates.

Oh, tear down the portraits of Washington, smash his statues and rename the city and state. Because he owned slaves.


You cant start shit like this and not expect to get bitch slapped right back can ya. I mean there is so much anti american shit one can hear without wanting to throw a slab of Canadian Bacon at someone ya know?

I don't understand how that is Anti-American. I was simply pointing out that it's rather unprecedented to not hold political events in or around, or otherwise involving a figure who has commited some vile acts. Such as the case with George Washington. Yet, still there is a City, a State, and probably a room in the White House named after him. His face is on the money. So, this attack on Ford is rather unprecedented.

Again, a valid point. But anyone should realize that what the French did for us was done more out of spite and hatred of the English then it was for any love of the Americans.

lol man. So the french are just haters, they only act to fuel their own hatred?

Maybe you should clarify that it's the french government you disagree with and admit that you don't dislike french people.

i've been hearing that for almost 40 years.

It's kind of new to me. I mean up in Canada, it's not tolerated. Not just because we have a lot of French-Canadians, but because racial hate is strongly discouraged. In-fact some things will get up to 2 years in jail.

This isn't exactly a direct response in reguards to the statement I made, but, during the 1770's that was exactly the attitude the French had towards the English. And vise versa.

Um. Yes. I hate the French government and it's people who hate me back.

So are you saying you hate french people because they elected their government and are therefor supporting the position of their government? So you do hate french people?

How then is it not justified for them to hate Americans because of the American government?

Why do you continue to completely devise statements I have never made? I don't even think I've used the word elected in this entire thread.

I said I hate the French people who hate me. I didn't say I hate French people who don't hate me. See, I can be convoluted too.

It's not, because I have no idea what you're talking about. It's as if you think you're talking to someone else. No one in this thread said anything about hating the French people because of the French government. Actually, Last Exodus made a post on that very topic.



Hello?

Are you going to ask me why I don't like ice cream now?

Man, no one hates French people because they happen to be French people. In fact, I dont think Ive ever used the word hate and french in the same sentence. Ok maybe a few times. I hate their french fries. There I said it. Good thing we call them freeedom fries now so I never have to say hate and french in the same sentence again...

And most Americans who visit france, probably visit Paris primarily. Thus the notion many have that the french are pompous jackasses. Im not approving of it, nor am I saying ALL french are that way. Just explaining the perception. Thats what was asked, no?

Simple. We are hate mongers...it took me three posts to get to that...that's the answer I'm guessing you're looking for? so let's just agree to agree.

Yeah because the French's 6+ years taking the absolute brunt of the German army's attack and the underground resistance movement sure as fuck didn't help anyone, right? Those french pussies couldn't even stand up to the FUCKING GERMAN ARMY.

So many stupid, stupid things have been said against the French in America. The attitude makes no sense and defies history every chance it gets. Also makes anyone ranting about how the french 'wimped out in ww2' (etc..) look like a jackass.
