Racism

A sad fact of life...

I do think that the people who stand by and let people get away with it are as bad as the perpetrators...

AIBU to expect widespread condemnation of it?

N**r lover bitch whore is a particular favourite of mine

Half breed brats is another one.

TBH i dont stand by if I think someone is being racist. Its too important an issue to feck about with IMO.

Lots of people live with discrimination every day whether they are black or white.

Flynnie · 28/05/2009 23:37

Lurked on the smug thread and apart from the shocking smugness didn't see any sort of racism.

Agree with Custardo, been called a white bitch and it wasn't all that pleasant.

Too much sun.....not enough screen

Is this a Little Britain sketch thread?

MillyR · 28/05/2009 23:40

Chegirl, I don't consider racism to be of higher priority than discrimination against women, gay people or people with disabilities. If I criticised every stranger whose comments I found offensive, it would be all I would ever have time to do!

I travel every day on a train through BNP areas. There is no way I would get involved with potentially dangerous people who have 3 brain cells pinging about in their heads. That is half of why they do it anyway; they want to start a fight or confrontation.

kel4mum · 28/05/2009 23:44

I've been reading all these threads that you are talking about, and I have seen no one being racist on them. Roneef I think you are taking it too far now, all you are doing is trying to do is get people's backs up, and I for one have had enough of it. I've only recently started to post on here, and you my friend are making it an unpleasant experience for us newbies. I'm going to avoid anything you are on now. Sorry

chegirl · 28/05/2009 23:47

Milly my comment was not directed at you. Apologies if it appeared that way. You have the right to make your decisions based on the circumstances you are faced with. I honestly was not responding to your post (have just read it
When i am faced with racisim it is usually targeted at me and kids so have no option to get involved IYSWIM.

chegirl · 28/05/2009 23:51

Bit weird that I have been accused of being racist and have managed to upset someone for being too dontknowhowtodescribeit on the same night

roneef · 28/05/2009 23:53

I'm not talking about another thread at all kel4mum"!!!

I made that plain.

I think white/black/pink/purple bitch is equally offensive to whoever said black bitch is worse.

Chegirl -

How would you deal with racism to your beloved kids.

My mum ignored it.

MillyR · 28/05/2009 23:54

Che, thanks, but I didn't feel got at by your comment so don't apologise! And I certainly would feel that I had to get involved if someone started on kids, a mum with her kids or someone else vulnerable.

roneef · 28/05/2009 23:54

No rindercella.

Back it up.

roneef · 28/05/2009 23:56

kel4mum · 28/05/2009 23:56

No Roneef, you started this thread after you accused chegirl of being racist on another thread...FACT

That's all I have to say about this, I'm going back to the Keane website now.

MillyR · 28/05/2009 23:57

I also feel I should say that I have commented on this thread because I thought it was an interesting topic, and not because of an underlying agenda concerning another thread. I don't really know what went on on the other threads or which ones they were.

Tortington · 28/05/2009 23:58

kel - it can't be THAT bad - i mean...keane fgs - its wrong

Grr. posters' nicknames. I can do apostrophes.

wolfnipplechips · 29/05/2009 00:00

Roneef i've just read the other thread, YAB totally unreasonable. You can't just go around calling people rascist nobody said anything bad about your race. You should stop this now.

roneef · 29/05/2009 00:00

I'm aggressive rindercella?
