Uh... what the flip? What's up with the whole 'Negro' thing? Does this sound a bit racist?


[edit] RACE RIOT????

Excuseme but first, It wasn`t a race riot, simplily because the problem wasn`t about race, It was social conflict due to tensions between americans (of any race) and panamenians (of any race too). The point here is that the problem was about an abuse and not about racial discrimination.

[edit] Innacurate

As a Panamanian I find this article inaccurate, non-neutral and completely based on one side of the conflict. In school we've been taught that the Americans started the incident, and the American pulled a gun when the vendor asked for the 10 cents, and the vendor never did pulled out a knife. I'd suggest a complete rewrite of this article with cited sources from both sides of the conflict, or deletion. -- ...RuineЯ|Chat... 19:57, 1 March 2008 (UTC)
