I love the way that when foreigners are speaking Japanese their words are rendered in katakana.

Got it!

And the n*gger caption. A little hard to see, but trust me, you ain't missing much.

All in all, the quality of the magazine photos are among the worst I've ever seen... It looks as though they were all taken with a keitai camera, and they're hopelessly blurry and much of the time you can't even tell whether the person in the photo is Japanese or not.

But the publishers of this hate literature should be made examples of -- and I'm going to do my utmost to ensure that it will be the case. My first step is to write polite letters to Familymart and to Amazon, requesting them to immediately pull this hate literature from their shelves. You'd think they would try NOT to associate themselves with groups like this...

I'm also going to run this by with a few human rights watchdogs to see
what they think of this. A good place to start might be Mr. Doudou Dienne, United Nations Special Rapporteur on racism of the Commission on Human Rights. He has made numerous visits to Japan, and each time the deep-rooted racism has appalled him when he then wrote his reports for the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights.

here is the publisher's webpage if anyone is interested
http://www.eichi.co.jp/esp.cgi?_file=newrelease&_page=_index&_page2=thumbs_new&_toNew=1

the publisher's company is Eichi - which means wisdom; sagacity. how wise is the publisher? well maybe it makes them a lot of money?

you can pick up their magazines also at Kinokuniya - although i don't know about this specific one.

they even make rap/ hip hop magazines and american tv magazines. guess the publisher is a little not all there.

To return to the subject of the original post, anybody else notice that the arrests coincided with the recent absence of one of our most prolific posters, a person who has written in the past that "Japanese cops are cool about drugs"? Perhaps this individual, wits dulled after a long day slaving at NOVA, finally "toked up" with the wrong cop...?

do u believe most Japanese do not really distinguish the difference between black and nigga?




oh, and I would love to know exactly how the dude was popped with drugs. Did the cops see the deal take place on the street or what?

Do you really find that hard to believe? I don't at all. It doesn't change the fact that the term is disgusting though.

I just said "NO" to drugs so I won't have this problem Although I do make my own herbal extracts and take them on a regular basis. Some of the herbs I use are said to be "illegal". I think I take about 30 different kinds for purifying the digestive and lymph systems and for feeding the brain and nervous system as well. One of my big concerns is what I'm going to do when I go to Japan as I'm not sure if these are considered illegal substances over there. I figure they would be more open to herbal medicine in the East but I just don't see it going well with me bringing herbal extracts through the airport.

Hopefully I can get better and more potent stuff over in Japan anyway and I won't need to worry about bringing my own herbs.

Thanks for the japanprobe.com link! I wondered when folks were going to stand and be counted on this one!
I wish I'd thought to steal it...I'm not a very good hanzai gajin I guess
