X-Message-Number: 16397 From: "ramzy ramzy" <> Subject: Sorry for the nice person Date: Thu, 31 May 2001 14:47:14 -0000 Hi, James Swayze, I read the next text in your message with great sadness: (I don't know if you know this about me but I am a quadriplegic. This means I am paralyzed from the upper chest down. Even my hands are paralyzed although my arms can move enough to type. So what does this have to do with racism and prejudice? Everything! You see, I get prejudiced by people of my own race and indeed even my own family!! I'll wager I've been mistreated by it more than you or anyone and it's particularly abhorrent to be so from one's own race and family. I'm curious, how do people treat the disabled in your country? Are they shunned? Do crippled men get very many women? How about high paying jobs? Think about this the next time you feel like accusing me of racism. The last thing on my mind is putting onto others the same crap that is put onto me.) I know that the racism is derived from the word (race). The sick persons are not other race. I consider that ignorance and looking down for them are very bad behaviors. If these bad behaviors are included in the racism, then I learned other dimension for the racism through you. Thanks. I think that the sufferers as you are not racists. Very very very Sorry for my talk about the racism in my previous messages. Now, I consider my reading for what is between your lines in your messages is not right (even subject of the caws) because you said that you did not mean another bad meaning as the racism and your reply is enough. I will try to visit you, someday. In Egypt, there are some societies for the careful for (Moaakin). In Arabic, this word means the sick persons with some ill requires special help from the healthy people (as paralyzed, blind and who cannot speak). The trips of these societies lead to the friendship and sometimes the marriage. The healthy people can donate to accompany the group for help and entertainment (not sexual entertainment). I do not talk about chances of the jobs for them because there are few jobs for the healthy people in Egypt. In the end, did you hear about tries for the body transplantation? (I do not call it brain or head transplantation). Perhaps, it presents a solution for your problem in the future. Also, it can give us the hope for success of the neuro-suspension. Take the freedom in your comments. I will not say that you are racist again. Keep in touch.
