As I read from the web, "Gay Nigger Association of America" is for GNAA.
Although I do not claim to know English well, it certainly had "Shock"
impact to me. I do not even know what it is really aout.

I took this as the approval of the fact that you (Sam Hocevar) created
this site. I am wondering if Sam Hocevar is a real black person trying
to be funny and offensive like Richard Pryor (a black comedian who often
used offensive word "nigger"). If so, I think you are failing badly.
Otherwise, all I can say is that I am appalled.
Well, since this discussion is about DPL, my question to Sam Hocevar is:
* Do you think this kind of communication is the effective way to get
thing going as DPL if you get elected?
* Do you think your representation of DPL with such behaviour helps
Debian?
I am not asking your (Sam Hocevar's) belief nor your racial association.
I am asking your assessment of your ability to be the DPL to help Debian
with respect to your past deeds and your intended deeds.
Regards,
Osamu
