To question my friendship of a girl who wishes to vote bnp ...

[KeepOnKeepingOnAndOnAndOnAndOn]

I just cannot get passed it. I have mixed race brothers and sisters. Shes plastering fb with her bnp posters ... Sigh.

AIBU to not want to be friends with her? We are not close, more acquaintances - but I feel I really want to distance myself as I feel almost a traitor remaining friends with someone who would vote in a racist, bigoted far right party ...

YANBU. I'd make it very clear why I no longer wanted to know her, too.

YANBU. I would have nothing to do with anyone who voted for the BNP.

Yanbu

I really don't see the issue here?

You aren't friends, just acquaintances so just unfriend her. What's the problem?

*past !

Anyway of course not, delete the horrible idiot!

You're being dramatic, she's only an acquaintance, unfriend her and problem solved.

Immediate block surely. Why is it even a question?

YANBU. I have deleted friendships on facebook with people who post BNP shite. I would do the same with friends that I see regularly in person if they became BNP supporters.

I'd delete and tell her why

If you want to be 'clean' of the BNP I would also question your GP, Health Visitor, bus driver, street cleaner, checkout people, manager of your preferred supermarket. After all, you are not supposed to discriminate against just one person, and you really should play fair by questioning everyone you come into contact with!

Star what a silly idea. A friend is someone chosen, you don't have to be friends with them. You also know them personally, including their beliefs. These other examples are people you have to encounter and you don't, or shouldn't if they are professional, know your beliefs.

Know their beliefs.

I can't believe you are even asking this, I would be embarrassed to have a friend like this.

I wouldn't want them as a friend TBH, regardless of whether I had mixed-race siblings or not.

I'd tell her that you find the BNP posts upsetting & offensive, give her maybe a week to stop posting them, then if she continues then unfriend.

At least you'll feel that you've given her the chance to put your feelings before her racist bile opinions.

Don't be ridiculous, stargazey.

OP, unfriend, but before that add a polite message to her wall, letting her know exactly why.

Yeah unfriend. I unfriended my uncle for proudly announcing he's voting ukip.

I wouldn't judge someone for voting differently to me. I like that I live in a democracy and that people can choose who to vote for. I would be happy to discuss my political differences with anyone and would always try to see what is motivating someone to think or feel the way they do.

Bright side: at least she's not voting UKIP.

I'm not sure that people who vote BNP (and plaster the fact all over their FB page) are actually bright enough to engage in an actual discussion about their political choices, are they?

MysweetAudrina, I see what you mean about voting but surely it's about more than that?

I loathe the Tories and manage to have great friendships and family relationships with people who wouldn't vote anything else.

However, declared support for the BNP means you're a hideous racist who's against 'mixed marriage' (FFS) and as such - regardless of whether or not you put the cross in the box on voting day - you're someone I really don't want to know.

Stargazeypond, do you have BNP sympathies or something?? What an absurd post!

Mysweetaudrina, the type of person who photobombs their Facebook page - and everyone else's timeline - with this sort of tripe is hardly likely to be up for engaging in deep and meaningfuls about the "dangers" of mass immigration, race mixing and miscegenation.

Keep

That would sadly be a deal breaker for me. I have to feel I can respect my friends and respect their political differences too. But BNP and UKIP's underlying beliefs about race are, for me, nothing to do with politics, rather more they show an immorality and ugliness that I want nowhere near me.

And people cannot have their heads in the sand about Farage any longer. If you support his party, you are beyond the pale.

I'd have to bite my tongue to stop myself form giving her a piece of my mind quite frankly. Block, block, block OP!

I had this posted on my FB wall, if anyone fancies being horrified by the Yoof of today www.buzzfeed.com/jimwaterson/the-bnps-youth-video-is-basically-the-scariest-thing-on-the

Ok she is a friend - but not a close one ( i am ashamed to admit) i have posted a few things the bnp stand for (ie rape isnt rape as its enjoyable) and she has said she is gonna try labour instead!!! She is a deffo islamaohobic though, she seems to really hate Muslims by the stuff she puts in fb. In real though she wouldn't say boo to a goose and is (its appears) very sweet. Its odd and I think she is very uneducated (at the risk of sounding patronising)

Sorry, are you saying rape isn't rape OP? or that you pointed this BNP viewpoint out to your 'friend' and she changed her mind about voting for them?
