I don't. So, if they see this here enough, they get an image that's a negative one, and in the cruder mags, you'll get a crudely worded reaction. This is not Amsterdam, not Italy. Be sensitive to where you are. Note: This is a comment on the above picture only. Not familiar with the mag nor saying it's nice. Do you see Japanese guys with their hand on a Japanese girl’s butt

I don't believe all Japanese are xenophobic and racist.I mean a Japanese girl dates my black cousin and I'm sure you're not racist if you do that! Lol. Anyway, the magazines represent narrowmindedness that shouldn't be tolerated. Period. Ihavent seen the magazine but sucks to know that the Japanese government would tolerate that.

It's no surprise though. They don't even allow koreans who were born there which they forced to come there citizenship. There may be racism here in the U.S. but at least we're recognized as citizens. Its a suprise though to here that 7-11 was selling these books. I worked at the main corporate office for seven eleven and the japanes recently bought the rest of the comapny. There are a lot of blacks that work there and most of the people who work in the stores are foreingn. This shows what kind of respect they have for their employees. It's really hurtfull to learn things are this way in japan. I love watching anime cartoons and have always thought their culture was cool.

I just saw copies of pages fom this magazine on Debito ’s site yesterday. It is outrageous! It’s basically titled, “The crimes of foreign devils”. I try to keep an open mind about things, but this is pretty harsh. Not just interracial sex, even any sort of dating is condemned. Things like, “Hey, go back to your own country!” or “This is a public place, what the &&$%# are you doing here.”(regarding a picture of an interracial couple sitting on a picnic blanket) Things about how foreigners mislead poor unsuspecting Japanese businessmen and take their money. About how they (we) are basically there (here) to take their women and basically rape them (althlough all the pictures shown did appear consentual). I haven’t checked my local conbinis yet, I usually don’t go to the magazine isle, but I’ll have a look the next time I go. It’s hard to believe. Real shame. ~Sven~ I know!!

This is classic fear of a black planet... The term coined by none other than the hip-hop group Public Enemy. As in any other country, the Japanese males have an innate fear (or feeling of intimidation) of black males. Why? Let your mind run wild... All black males know this. I personally CAN understand anyone being intimidated by people like myself. Smart, young, beautiful and... Black. American Black men have a certain 'swagger' that is found NOWHERE else in the world! So, of course we are loved by women and feared by men across the world. The alpha male comes out of all of us when a woman is involved. I do not hate anybody, except the power structure, which I generally refer to as 'white people'. I know all white people aren't bad, but this is what we call it none the less... As an aside... I love white women... All women for that matter. Let's get stop hatin' and start congratulatin' Further, let's start expecting more of this behavior as more and more American Black males get passports. Harsh, hard, but real. Why not, huh?

The 7-11 in Narumi, Motohoshizaki, and Kasadera still have it. The major book stores in Sakae, Kanayama, and Nagoya Eki have it as does the book kiosks in Chubu Airport.

You can still buy books on various theories of racial supremacy, holocaust denial, etc with very little effort in the US. Where it is sold is beggaring the point.
