Is Racism On The Increase In This Country, This Person Seems To Think So?

So what she was spat on so are many other people spat on by disgusting species of humanity.

There was once a woman in my area who would spit on anyone who past her on the street, but then this woman had a mental illness.

/// We are also frighteningly vulnerable because anti-racists have given up on the struggle, unlike feminists or those fighting for gay rights. The Equalities and Human Rights Commission is, frankly, moribund and we could, but don’t, use the web to campaign against racial prejudices. Where is our Peter Tatchell? Where, indeed, is the next generation Anthony Lester, the human rights supremo who pushed through race relations legislation? ///

Where is our Peter Tatchell Yasmin Alibhai Brown asks, they are everywhere I say.

Well said DB.

Mikey, you should make a visit to Sparkbrook Birmingham.

The trouble is, the last time I lived in Swansea, the only foreigners I met were 3 Irish guys and an English girl. Like our 'Chiltern living' mp's who tell us mass immigration is marvellous, mikey is oblivious to other peoples problems.

Mikey would approve of that Tony, he enjoys seeing our heritage being watered down, and is an apologist for what is happening!

It's a Labour thing apparently

I see mikey's started with the 'nonsense' and 'drivel' comments again. It seems like only this morning he was toadying to the 'judge' by saying how marvellous it was to have intelligent, gentlemanly discourse unsullied by the more 'common' types who spoil the site.

I've had posts removed for calling an ABer a racist but some posters want to be seen as the least racist person on AB but sometimes imo their posts just look ridiculous, not to mention blinkered.

At the moment I'm watching Fawlty (The Germans) Am I still allowed to laugh at it?

I'm a born and bred londoner living in London - where exactly are these boroughs that are a dangernto this 'native londoner'.

For my part, I tend to think the only thing on the increase lately is stupidity.

divebuddy Did you grow up in one of those places where there is a large immigrant population? One of the ones you named?
I did, and I abhor your point of view. Maybe it's because I grew up to be more tolerant and inclusive. Who knows.

[FrogNog]

I never said any of that divebuddy.
Did you grow up in one of your named places or not?

[FrogNog]

Of course it has something to do with it.
You rant about these poor overrun cities yet have no experience of living in them.
You can spout all you want but it's just empty armchair talk without experience.
It's not true. There you go, I said it.
I have grown up in a cultural bubble bath and have experienced all of it. I don't see what you see and I'm looking from the inside.
Your opinion is worthless to me, not because I oppose your views but because you assert them with such certainty when the only source you have is your imagination and some right wing newspaper reports.
I'll stick to experience over badly formulated rhetoric, thanks.
