[www.keralites.net] Racism according to Robert Mugabe

A minute with H.E Dr. Mugabe in Harare:

1. Racism will never end as long as white cars are still using black tyres!

2. Racism Will never end as long we still wash first white clothes then other colours later!

3. Racism will never end if people still use black to symbolise bad luck and WHITE for peace!

4. Racism will never end if people still wear white clothes at weddings and black clothes at funerals!

5. Racism will never end as long as those who don't pay their bills are blacklisted not whitelisted!

6.Even when playing the pool (snooker)a player will not win until he sinks the black ball but the white ball must remain on the table!

BUT I don't CARE SO LONG AS I'M STILL USING THE WHITE TOILET PAPER TO WIPE MY ASS! With that only I will always be very FINE.- Robert Mugabe.
