  it's very rare that i visit this site these days and even rarer that i start a thread, but ever so often i see a comment so outrageous that i just have to respond.

  in a thread entitled "are black people more emotional than white people", the op made the following comment concerning the lack of "black people" in australia:"we have the australian aboriginal people butthey are a different race more related to white people i beleive.

  " the bad spelling and grammer isn't the only thing wrong with this sentence.

  Let me explain further. There are three main races of people caucasian[White race which includes europeans right through to the Indians] . The mongols [This is all the Asian people from the American indians to the chinese] The Negro race is th erace mostly from Africa.

  The Australian Aboriginals have their roots from India and are considered by anthropologists to be more closely related to caucasians than the other two races.

  Are Aboriginals black? Yes. Do they have black features? Yes. Did they have european blood ? No they originated from India and until now people in the south of India bear a striking resemblance to our original inhabitance.

  i see in churches in the states standing up in church dancing, clapping their hands and being quite emotional even in a church.

  things which that wouldnt be acceptable in australia.. the link below also shows black sda ministers dressed in clergy style dress which is quite unusual for ministers here in australia.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yynbdm0unsw&feature=g-all&context=g2e791f1faaaaaaaamaas .

  could any of my american friends inform me i showed it to my father who is a lay preacher and he was mistified as to what tradition this dress comes from but seems to be concentrated to th eblack community also?.

  Don't put yourself down mate I don't have an accent where I come from but you would have a beautifull accent over here I'm sure. I guess the fact we hear American accents all the time on TV has the effect of being common to us but it still sounds OK. Giveme your number Ill call you up sometime.

  Gday Ohiocowboy,

  I have been called an 'Australian hillbilly' By Americans in California. I met some Americans in Europe and they invited me to spend my holidays at their place in Los Angelies. They loved my accent and as we drove along the road I was told just to keep talking because they love the sound of my voice. But then they said i sounded like an Ausralian hillbilly. I didn't take offence at that they were nice people.

  Gday newchapter,

  I have heard of snake handling but have never seen it practiced. I notice no one actually got bitten at that service. Maybe we should send them an Australian brown snake, one of the most poisonous in the world. There wouldn't be many paritioners after a few months. And these are white people, are they hillbillies ?

  Gday band on the run,

  The Anglican diocese here is very casual the priests here dress like everyone else they don't even wear a tie even in church. Its a very evangelical church we go to. Barry

  Doofdaddy, I think the problem is we get sterotyping from the media.

  After all if we don't have personal contact the only other source is the media. Barry

  after much deliberation, i decided to go "out" at the end of a public talk.

  it didn't go down too well, but at least i was able to give some of my reasons for leaving.. i've put some of the details on my homepage.

  i'll update it more when i get the time and the strength.

  Thanks Razziel, Because the SDA church is not much older than the witnesses they dont have a tradition of dressing up. The baptists are much older and for the most part their ministers wear street clothing.
