yoyoma comments on How ARE blacks treated in Colombia (Cartagena to be exact)

"and they drop the N word likes it's nothing;" "That despicable doesn't exist in Spanish, fortunately!" So what are you saying, that they don't say the English pejorative for Black people or that it is OK that they do because it doesn't exist in Spanish??? Either way, you are simply wrong. The sad fact in Bogota is the whiter the better. You can deny it, you can claim that intermarriage exists but you are delusional. Why do you think the further south you go in Bogota the darker the people, you think they get more sun down there? Sure you can compare the KKK in the USA, a tiny minority of idiotic fanatics, to the overwhelming consensus that Black People are inferior in Colombia, but you can also compare apples and oranges. Here is an idea, when you are in the States at a party try telling everyone that you think Blacks smell funny, if they don't tell you to shut up and leave, you should move out of the trailer park and then try the same thing in Colombia.

Yeah I find Bogota very racist. But they deny it up and down. When you confront them with the facts: ie there are NO professional blacks here, they claim blacks smell funny, and they drop the N word likes it's nothing; they just shrug their shoulders. Then I like to drop the bomb and ask them how they would feel if their sister married a black guy, you should see their reaction.

I assume you need bilingual people. Is the work in Bogota/from home? What is the pay?

yoyoma comments on Extradition laws in Colombia

Brazil does have an extradition agreement with the States, although there are exceptions. You may remember the drug dealer who fled to Brazil after kidnapping the younger brother of a client over an unpaid debt, and later killing the brother, Jesse James Hollywood. His hope was to follow the example of Ronnie Biggs and father a child with a Brazilian and thus be exempted from extradition. Unfortunately for him, that law was taken off the books long ago. Although, I believe hollywood was deported rather than extradited, it is still possible, look at Rayo-Montano for example.

yoyoma comments on Looking for a room in Bogota?

Seems high to me, I pay 250.000 a month for a place just a little south.

I am with you Desi, I mean you really think that if you asked Jesus "Hey a child broke my window, what should I do?" "Well, the window has to be worth at least $100, I think you should break the child's arm, that would please God." That's the funny thing about Christians, they lack a even fundamental understanding of their own religion. Instead, they just quote ad hoc passages, to suit whatever action they want to take, eg citing old testament. I don't understand, are you Christian or Jewish, do think people who eat rabbit commit an abomination against God and should be killed?? (Leviticus)
