RURAL RACISM

So, I live in a predominately white area, an affluent area also. It has become apparent to me that even after decades have passed, the mixed or otherwise non white minority has never developed. I ask myself why? I find that in many rural areas this is the case and I cant understand why. Is having a housing stipulation under the council that requests that only people with family ties to the area can apply to put their name forward for the housing association schemes? is that possibly an undercurrent of racism?

Thats nice. Is your interrogation done? Are you going back to doing whatever racist MAGA cunts do all day?

Like this one! I couldn’t resist; I’ve been cracking up at these crazies and their Trump mugshot T-Shirts all day 🤣🥴

Imagine what type of messed up/deluded person you have to be, to decide to have the word ‘LOST’ tattooed on your knuckle dragging hand!? A Lost Boy I guess. SMDH.

Snap! My grandads parents were also indentured slaves from India 😊

🙏 wow snap.

My grandads family were from calcutta, and I was told where my nans family were from but I can't remember now. One of the more well to do regions, because her side were very light skinned. My grandads was very dark. I remember meeting his mum when I was little, it seemed like she must have been about 100 then, she lived to 106 I think, and she had hair down to her ankles. I believe they worked the Appleton rum estate, and Tate & Lyle.

It’s a small World! The Indian side of my family are from Northern India. I can’t say too much more for obvious reasons lol.
