I'll go post it on the black mumsnetters section and get back to you shall I?

No, as they're not there to "educate you", and nor should they have to take up headspace with your "is this racist or isn't it?" nonsense.
That's not what the board's for 🙄 leave them alone

OK, I have finally understood what you were trying to say.

But it makes no sense and there were no double standards.

You have repeatedly said that you're worried about the number of white people being in decline. This is what led to the pp's comment to you.

I have repeatedly said that I don't think skin colour is important, so why on earth would the ethnicity of my mixed race dd's future partner be of any importance to me at all? And why on earth would you make an assumption that whiteness "creeping into my family" (horrible phrase) would ever be a problem, when I have explicitly stated that skin colour doesn't matter to me?

You seem to be very confused.

The whiteness creeping into your family would be a horrible statement to make, I agree, I was just turning what someone said to me about how my 'white daughter should only reproduce with whites lest some mixed heritage creeps in.
Like I said, double standards

Interesting that you have no problem with these British men in Thailand..

I didn't say that.

I asked what percentage of men overall go to Thailand as sex tourists.

Important to get these sorts of things right on this sort of thread if you are going to cite someone else.

Well you will have to ask the person who raised the Thai sex tourists initially upthread.

Some people have issues with certain communities not integrating.

Same people don't want these 'foreigners' in their neighborhood because it changes the culture.

You can't win.

Exactly

It wouldn't be for them to 'educate me'
I have constantly been asked to point out specifically what was racist about some things, my point was you wouldn't be waiting too long for someone on that board to tell you exactly what was racist about it, because if the races were reversed it would be bloody obvious.

I want religion kept out of politics too. But religion IN politics has been very much a British tradition, reduced in quite recent times.Especially Catholic vs Protestant. Civil wars; executions of 'heretics'; etc. Much of it ended about 300 years ago, but there was near-civil war in Northern Ireland until 1997, and their politics is still divided on religious lines.

Blasphemy laws were repealed in England and Wales only in 2008. In Scotland not till 2024. Not yet in Northern Ireland!

I don't like Muslim pressures on voters either, but what about conservative Christian pressures? All the people who make a fuss about 'keeping religion out of politics' NOW- where were they in 2010, when my secularist, pro-choice MP was smeared as 'Dr Death'; when the representative of the local anti-abortion Life group posed as just a 'concerned citizen' and sent vile smear leaflets around; when David Cameron, incoming Prime Minister and MP for the constituency next door to mine, did fuck all to stop it? When a Telegraph writer enthused about my MP's narrow defeat as 'the best result of the election' and darling Ann Widdecombe, then still a Tory, urged 'people of conscience' to do the same everywhere? Well guess what, Muslim activists are 'people of conscience' too! Either one supports secularism in politics or one doesn't, but religious interference isn't a great thing untill it's suddenly practiced by people of recent immigrant origin.

I don't like the Shokat Adam brand of politics- but there are, even to this day, far more Danny Krugers and Sammy Wilsons than there are Shokat Adams,

I think essentially what you are trying to say in your post is that you agree with me that sectarian politics is not a good development? Please do correct me if I misunderstood.

I repeat. There were no double standards.

The pp only made the comments to you because of your own stated concerns about whiteness "declining". It was very clear that she wasn't actually agreeing with your concerns at all... she was merely reflecting back the logical conclusion of what you were saying.

There would have been no logic at all in her directing a similar comment to me, as I had made it very clear that skin colour wasn't important to me.

Your "turning it around" made no sense.

I honestly don't understand which bit of this you don't understand. It isn't rocket science.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean by ‘Gaza MPs’ then. These are MPs who ran on a very specific very religious driven platform who were elected for said platform.

As PPs have pointed out there are organisations that exist to put pressure on Muslims to vote for other Muslims on religious political grounds (Islam being a political as well as religious, legal and social framework) so it’s not clear how ‘democratically’ these votes were obtained.

Have you ever visited a voting booth?! Let me explain..you go the the station, they (sometimes) ask for ID, you're a given a slip, then go into a booth (with dividers so no one can see who you vote for) . You then put an x against your preferred candidate. All done in secret..

I wouldn't be too sure about that. 40% of the men at the Southport riots and the hotel protests had convictions for domestic violence. Don't put your rose tinted glasses on just yet - the problem is men. Men of all ethnic backgrounds.

Have done. So it's reports, not convictions. We all know DV is underreported. Are you really saying the majority of the women who reported these men were lying? Are you really?

Yes, really. And I'm not engaging with arguments about whether the country does or does not have a culture and an identity, it clearly does.

Yes, it definitely has a culture. Nobody has yet been able to explain which bits of that culture are under threat/gone.

Yes, the stat is actually that 40% of those arrested had previously been reported for domestic violence.

The substance of the point is the same. Misogyny is an issue that cuts across racial boundaries, and many of the men who are out there claiming to "defend women" from dangerous foreigners are just as much of a risk to women themselves.

And look at Farage, who loves to use VAWG to promote his racist agenda. Yet he has no apparent concern about cosying up to self-confessed sexual predator Donald Trump, or having his picture taken with Andrew Tate.

Anyone who believes that these men care about women is a fool.

Not the majority no, but in some areas the stats are patchy, e.g.

Bristol police said that because the total number of 'flags' - reports of incidents - was 413, it would take too long for the police to establish more details of what those flags were, and whether those arrested on August 3 were the alleged perpetrators, witnesses or victims of those reports, and what the outcomes were in terms of any charges and convictions.

Also, how many counter-protesters were arrested overall? Those arrested include counter-protesters.

It was the "I don't care if there are fewer white people in the world' that sounded racist, to say that about a race that's already a global minority. Would it be acceptable to say that about any other race, especially in a conversation about their current decline.

Are you saying white people don't matter? Or that they shouldn't matter?
