[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by lamin: Evergreen, Obviously, we come from different social and racial environments which means that our experiences would be different. But wait, you will see eventually that all my hunches are correct.[/QUOTE]First of all, you are confusing me with another poster. In case you haven't noticed, my pseudonym reads "the Explorer" right next to my posts. Not that it is relevant, I have also posted under the pseudonyms "Mystery Solver"/ "Ausarian"/"Supercar" over the years; I make no secret about this. I'd tell you if I were "Evergreen" too, but I'm not. As far as your "hunches" go, well, I'm glad that you've finally come to terms that that's all they are at this point, "hunches"! Your "hunches" may well bear fruit in the end, when all is said and done and the full results of the investigation and the trials come out. You suppose I have a problem with that; I don't. I only have a problem with your passing "hunches" off as "uncontested fact". I've stated time and again, and only you seem to not understand, that I assume no particular position either with respect to the accuser or the accused yet, because I don't have enough information at this time, to make an informed judgement one way or another. You are trying to distort the issue in contention here, because you obviously have a problem with this cautiously neutral position, not from an objective standpoint, but from an emotional standpoint. Your only line of defense for your assumptive posturing, << cough >> "hunches", is that you are from western Africa, and that therefore makes you telepathic about the accuser and know her immigration background for granted, even though you hardly know the accuser. News flash: I too am a continental African. So, you cannot go on hoopla about coming from "different social and racial environments" as a form of defense. Even if I weren't a continental African, this still wouldn't be an excuse for your assumptions. [QUOTE] On the refugee thing, I just don't think you understand.[/QUOTE]No, you don't understand. Your wild theories about refugee situations in the region have no bearing on the accuser. You must unequivocally show us your concrete proof, i.e. documents, of her immigration papers. That is the ONLY way, you can convince any sane person that you know the accuser well enough to know her immigration status. How would you like it, if some internet stranger made a caricature of you based on nothing else but some generalizations about Senegal, Gambia, or wherever you came from? [QUOTE] Many people do gain refugee status--which allows them to work but their status is not permanent and must be reviewed periodically by--in the case of the U.S.--Immigration authorities.[/QUOTE]Your attitude strikes me as fairly racist, because it presumes that the accuser could not have come to the U.S. on her own accord and her own capacity, presumably because she is west African and/or from Guinea. Another person could also make the same prejudgment about you, if you were to travel overseas, based on this logic. And in any case, your assumption about not "having the right papers" fell flat, which is why you are now forced to tacitly accept the prospect of the accuser of having attained [i]authorized[/i] working status under the vernier of "refugee status which allows them to work". A person doesn't have to be all that bright to see that even under your assumption, she'd still have to "have the right papers" to verify her immigration status and corresponding work authorization status!
