So,a friend of mine, who stays in a commune with some other peeps,gets home last night to a committee of said peeps. He was confronted about the fact that he had brought some black friend (me) to the commune. They said they had been living there for many years and that he should respect their opinion. We're quite dumbstruck tbh. Dunno what to think. Just felt like sharing.
Peace & Love to all btw
Wtf?
Had he seen any evidence of such feelings before? Or was this out of the blue? I mean it's obviously pretty disgusting that they'd have a problem with him bringing a black friend round, I wonder if they'd mentioned it when he moved in.
'Okay, your room is over there, we chip in £20 a month for utilities, and the washing up rota is on the fridge. Oh, and no black people after 5pm.'

Not sure how this came about. I was at his place last week and greeted them no doubt. So this is really a surprise. But ya,never thought id experience this.
Unless you were behaving in an antisocial manner there is no excuse for their behaviour. Even then, they should stick to the facts of any breaches like that rather than bringing outright racism into it.
Scum sucking pondlife.
it's not a tabloid title, but a sad fact.
It's a part of humanity that i will never understand. I have family members that act in this way, dropping stereotypes pertaining to races, treating them as an autonomous movement (blacks and gun crime, latinos being lazy/border jumpers). I'm constantly challenging their views... we're such a wacked species.
thats just super shitty that happened. but as pressure pointed out, south africa is obviously a really fucked up country as far as race goes (and a lot of other shit - if u havent, you should peep the liberia doc at vbs)
and yr right, bigotry is a hard thing to wrap yr head around if you have common sense and are a decent human
If I was your mate, I'd give the commune the finger, big styles. Let those fuckers rot in the '70s.
Keep JUMPin ya Bastids
