Mr. Shearer:
Please understand that I am not a racist and have nothing against blacks
as I am just as African as they are, but if you ever read this joker's
postings about Ancient Egyptians and modern Egyptians and so forth, how
would you feel as an Egyptian?
Just like how would you feel if someone comes knocking on the door of
your family's home which your father has built and some stranger comes
and tells you that it is not actually yours and not your father who
built it, but it is his house and you stole it from him?
I hope my analogy makes my point clear. I don't direct any of these
racist comments to anyone but AUSAR. His comments about Egyptians of
today and the past are more racist than any insult I can throw at him.
