[kj] oliver read this

[melinda grant]

oliver,let me correct you,

john was approached by a nature t.v.channel to do a report on " gorilors in 
the wild" ( you know,gorilors as in apes,monkeys...ok you understand)  this 
programme was shown on u.k t.v only,john whilst out in africa,spent some 
time with 2 african tribes--what he ment on that is,irrespective of 
colour,(johns white--those tribes people were black africans)  they were 
brought together through music, and nothing else figured-- neither to john 
or the tribes people--music he did with the 2 tribes,he also brought them 
together-- whilst he was out there doing the documentry ok.

also,yes its true,john--being irish/english by roots was/is correct,there is 
no way the level of race problems as there is in u.s.a  in england,there are 
whole sections in various parts of u.s.a that i /others would not go 
to,because of the race problems,backward thinking and general attitude of 
some people out there--

there is no where that i would avoid in the u.k down to race problems, and 
infact anywhere else in the world really-(-as theres hardly any of those 
attitudes)-- as in comparreson to  parts of u.s.a because of the race 
problems!!! ( i know as ive been to most places in the world already)

also,john was getting the other guy who you thought he insulted but your 
wrong(i guess a u.s.a. african) to lighten up and to see how stupid this 
whole black/white segregation attitude is,which is a bit rife in u.s.a,ive 
been to u.s.a,john lives there

john was talking from his general exsperiences of what he was brought up 
around and compairing--in relation to the u.s.a in parts,the other guys 
exsperiences and how he was brought up to believe!!

ok ;)) johns a good guy,you missunderstood through lack of facts!!
