Poland is a little idiot village of Europe. Racism (especially antisemitism) and homophobia are still very prevalent and tolerated. To Lech’s ignorant comments, racism was never and never will be a part of “Polish Tradition.” Partitions, wars and communism destroyed Poland a lot and it started to rebuild itself not long time ago. A lot of time will pass, perhaps even generations before things get really a whole lot better in Poland.

It seems clear in my mind that having a child wishing to be white and associating lighter skin with being holier is insulting to people with darker skin and educates children incorrectly by installing prejiduce at an early age. I agree that Gabriela Szulik did not intend to promote racism, but this is only due to her almost unbelievable level of ignorance and thoughtlessness. This brings up the debate about whether idiots can be blamed for their actions.

True dat andrew, pcc (polish catholic church) has been victimized for so long, poles are victims again! our expectations are once again far too high…

it is almost as if the whole world has nothing else to do but malign a truly insignificant eu wannabe…let’s just forgive them their simple political incorrectness and move on…some day poland, you will truly be mature enough to take responsibility for your naive gaffes, until then, rest assured you are the real mccoy martyrs of europe. your mea culpa will come, be patient!

I feel sorry for the polish catholic church. Obama’s team certainly keep a close eye and ears on the blogosphere. They dont forgive easily either!

“A lamp without oil is dark, a human without a prayer, too.” Right above it is a photo of chief editor Gabriela Szulik, who is saying: “What a pity that the prayer does not raise IQ.”

It’s high time to end the reign of Ultra Catholic Church in Poland. It just generates deviancy like this flyer they handed out INSIDE the House of God (aka HOG).
Such people are so much responsible for Poland’s position of a “retard” in the European community.

“The thought that this can carry racist meaning does not even enter my mind;”

Just another reminder that blindingly ignorant people still roam the Earth. How could anyone read such a message and not take an extremely racially biased message from it?

I consider the responses from the Polish bloggers to be weak, inadequate and not at all in keeping with a proper, up front repudiation of such a putrid message. What makes it even more objectionable is that it was for distribution to children. Someone’s agenda is very clear indeed.

All I can do is shake my head and feel extremely sorry for the people of African descent who have the misfortune of living in such a benighted environment.

What an odd thing to distribute such a flyer in this day and age…
