Well, “where are the white people” at an Asian or African ceremony?
Must we have token races at public functions to assuage bimbos on “The View”?
Last evening I watched a Globe Trekker program about a Nigerian wedding with over 1,000 people in attendance. The British presenter (and maybe her film crew) were the only whites there. I'm tired to death of the unending American race hustle.
Last fall we took a cruise outside the U.S. and after being processed through ICE on our return we had to get past a black female guard. She was on her cell went into the usual shuck and jive of making us wait awkwardly while she finished what was obviously a lengthy personal call. She finally folded her phone and glared at us angrily for a good 15 seconds before reluctantly motioning us past. I stage-whispered to my wife: "Welcome back to the U.S.A.!"
Although I do not watch this show, from what I read from the excerpt, I can only imagine the woman was making a joke. A lot of black comedians use the “where is the black folk?” line and it can be funny. But truth be told, when I was watching the royal ceremony, I did think to myself that I only saw this one black person, the cute little boy in the choir. But England is not America and most of the blacks that would have been officially invited separated themselves from the mother country years ago. Those invited to the wedding service were mainly official guests. I would assume the bride and groom’s closer relations and friends attended the more intimate reception later on. Anyhow, although the View is a horrible program hosted by a bunch of “yentas”, I think in this case the commentary was all light hearted.
