Eldron Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 And generalising like that does not make it any better, does it? Neither does focusing exclusively on the negative - I'm sure you could find a positive for every negative you posted, but you chose not to. Anyway, looks like tandem is not for me then... That's why I added the "socially" - some amazing achievements in many other fields of course. It is, however, impossible to find a positive to match centuries of apartheid, colonies, plundering, slave trade etc.

sias Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 (edited) It is, however, impossible to find a positive to match centuries of apartheid, colonies, plundering, slave trade etc. Maybe move this to the politics section. Edited February 25, 2021 by sias
Tuxstir Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 Doh. It seems I am out of date. Edit: While I do think most of us whites are a little unaware of our "we ruled the world for for centuries" inherent attitude equating "white" directly to arrogance, ignorance, oppression etc is ridiculous. after reviewing my comment.. It seems to be a wee bit snarky.. sorry, I'm trying to be better I have a Issue with big corporations trying to be a moral Compass, the 2 big companies in the news this week for their moral stance is coco-cola (less white), and Disney (Gina Carano Firing) jimmycool and Steven Knoetze (sk27) 2

MTBeer Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I always felt Coca Cola was too sweet. I always thought it was too black.... :ph34r:
DJR Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I always thought it was too black.... :ph34r:That why you put brandy in to dilute it? MTBeer 1
MTBeer Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 I apologise for liking Eldrons comment. I apologise for liking Fanie's post. At least she's got a tan so she's not that white...

Shebeen Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 unsure of exact purpose of this thread, but I DO have an idea for a really new thread... a NEW thread I personally would value is that in my 10-odd year absence from cycling, after 'burn out' , so much has changed; just buying new set of wheels for commuting, its' now though axles versus skewer, Boost replacing non-Boost, but what YEAR did that roughly happen, LUST versus Tubeless-ready versus 'full' tubeless.... ...me being a bit OLDER, and slightly less 'tech', it would be cool for younger / more tech savvy riders to start a thread where they tackle a single technology, and give a brief overview of what is current, and what is IS replacing, or HAS replaced - for example, the purpose of a CLUTCH on a (bicycle) derailleur...? Short cage vs medium cage versus long cage... Next rider maybe writes it could be useful to understand TAPER versus non-taper...next rider gives AXLE options on mountain-bikes.... (TA vs Skewer versus 'other'?)next rider explains ramification of fitting RIGID fork to a hard-tail frame, when building Monstercross/Gravel tourer.... now THAT I would pay beer money for!Christo translate..sheldon died and no one has taken up the slack Zebra and Tuxstir 2
Shebeen Posted February 25, 2021 Posted February 25, 2021 ha ha..he wakes up and gropes his wife in front of kid, peak italiano!! geomark 1
