| | Jamaica is my adopted native land this month, strict diet of rice an' peas, rock steady 45s and bushweed... Stay tuned for Canadia and Orstraya months in October and November respectively... And I have a black heart... Well, that's what the ladies tells me, anyways... |

| | Sure... reverse the point you made and see whether it still sounds racist. Black, Jamaican Guy: "Hey that's a lovely bowler hat and umbrella you have there." White, Londoner: "Thanks, they are terribly pretty aren't they. One feels quite complete. Not for you though, you're black and from Jamaica and this bowler hat and umbrella is reserved only for white men from London town." See? It's ridiculous. To imply that something, anything, shouldn't be appreciated by or used, or in the case of this bike loved and ridden, on the basis of skin colour and nationality is racist. And that's what you did, you said, "Yeah, but you're white and not from Jamaica..." implying that only if you're black and from Jamaica could you appreciate, or own, a bike frame that sported colours which resemble those related to Rastafarian's. |
