How fast they went from blaming the ‘boats' to just outright racism against Black people. I’m now genuinely done on this site.

Can we please report the racist posts? Mumsnet can’t police every thread.
I find when I point them out they get taken down.
God some people in this country are so ignorant, it’s embarrassing.

@noelignatiev

Why did you retract your criminal comment?

Are you worried about your comment being deleted for being defamatory?

@sunshinemango, I'm white British and I'm ashamed of the way the narrative has been seized whilst many of us who don't agree, including me, have stood by, shaking our heads and refusing to believe that the racists could rise again. I saw the other threads and I'm appalled.

Have you read the book 'Nice Racism'? It's these white liberals with their crocodile tear gushing that cause the most damage to Black people.

At least the Faragists are open about how they feel

Are you suggesting we shouldn’t bother supporting you then?

So if its a black person we must blame all the black people band wagon.
Of theyre muslim, we must blame the whole Muslim population band wagon.
Very sad.

Yep, but a white on a rampage is ‘mentally unstable’ and misunderstood. Maybe a bit lonely.

As if it’s about skin colour. What is the common factor in all the attacks we see?

White, black, brown, but always MEN.

Only that’s never the story because it’s so obvious that nobody can see it.

We don't need your support. Your sponsoring of democracy is driven purely by self-interest, nothing else. Certainly not out of any noble impulse

I bet. He must have unfortunately just got on the train at the same time as the attacker and witnesses assumed he was with him.

Thank goodness his name was not released by police. Him and his family would have been hounded by media.

MagpiesAreBastards · 02/11/2025 18:34

I stopped reading those threads because they were so disgusting. I only saw this because it is in Active threads.

I am sorry. Which is wholly inadequate.

I think that was to try to reduce the hysteria that was building around blaming immigrants and asylum seekers. The police don’t normally go into detail on race and nationality once they have people in custody.

I think it was to head off attacks on asylum seeker hotels or mosques.

So instead they leave a whole race vulnerable. Smh. Saying they had 2 British suspects until they established facts would have been fine

I’m white. There is an argument for saying yes support, but you don’t need to talk about it on Black MNers, a space for Black MNers to share. If a lack of thanks stops you supporting, you weren’t supporting anyway.

It’s the difference between Nice Guys who wear ‘this is what a feminist looks like t-shirts’ to mansplain, and genuinely good men who step up and expect nothing.

Be the second and understand that if you were raised here you had racism all around you and will need to do the work until you die. You’re never done with reading, listening and trying to understand. I know I’m thick as mince about it 90% of the time. And I’ve been an immigrant more than once. Which gives a tiny tiny glimpse into just one aspect of it.

Of course he'll get wrongly arrested by an institutionally racist police

He was just picked I assume because of the colour of his skin. As they already had the original suspect arrested, he was a victim who probably needed care not custody. So disappointing but not surprising.

They are also arguing what makes someone truly british. Doesn’t matter if we, our parents, grandparents were born here. We’re not white so not a true brit

I've said to racists in RL before now that technically I'm not really British as my Grandad is from Ukraine and my grandma is Spanish. And it always comes back to skin colour doesn't it 🤦‍♀️ ( I'm white )

I have half Mexican cousins who were born in the UK and they've been racially abused since children as they have darker skin and hair

So, so sorry that you’re having to tolerate these morons. They are ignorant gobshites who, unfortunately, are being encouraged and enabled by equally ignorant politicians.

I welcome people from anywhere who choose to make their lives in the UK and who overwhelmingly contribute massively to society.

I’m very glad that your family chose here 😊

One of the eye witnesses was quoted as saying “they are stabbing people” as he was running away” which probably contributed to the feeling there was more than one person. But yes, a lot of assumptions made based on skin colour.

And this is why the police don’t release names before they charge someone as I tried to explain on the other thread to someone who was saying it was suspicious that the names had not been released.

Wow! You’ve come on here to argue and goad people can’t you see the irony.Do you seriously think all white people are racist? You’re actually demonstrating racism!
I have nothing further to say you.

MrsSkylerWhite · 02/11/2025 18:52

Sorry.

The levels of racism in the UK today are the worst I’ve seen since the 1960s and it’s horrible. I was trying to get across that most people don’ t feel that way. Clumsily, maybe.
