Why Are Half Of Ukip Voters Racially Prejudiced?
Does UKIP specifically appeal to those with racial prejudices?
Is this something that Farage needs to worry about?
Cards on the table, when I think about it, I reckon I have a few social*, rather than racial prejudices myself, and I bet that the majority of AB News contributors are the same.
(*A social prejudice is one based on a number of factors, such as educational background, job, attitudes to crime and whether the person reads the Daily Mail etc. I believe that social prejudices are just as bad as racial prejudices - but I acknowledge them and consciously avoid acting on them).

I think that it's irrelevant that someone on AB think there's a likeness between then character of Rallo and a golliwog.
I think because the show has been on for five years now and I have never heard anyone else make that connection.
Try Googling the names 'Rallo', 'Cleveland Show' and 'Golliwog'.
I await your findings (expect, to be honest, I really don't because it's a specious argument without a shred of merit).

I am sure that we both know I am in the right on this matter.
I was one of the first people on the thread to comment, and I wrote:
The answer here is to set up CCTV cameras (funded by the council), catch whoever is doing this, and revoke their tenancy agreement. It's them who should lose their flat, not this young family. And no-one should live in fear. Disgraceful.
Booldawg - am waiting for 'certain people' to claim that she did it herself.
I totally understand your point though, and I accept your need to cast me as a hypocrite, in that I may 'turn a blind eye' where stories concern white victims of racist crime.
However, this is not the case.
I await your 'Devil's Advocate' approach to the story. With your record of even-handedness, I'm surprised you haven't posited the suggestion that she vandalised her own front door in order to get herself a better council flat.
I mean - at the moment, there's no evidence to support the idea that she didn't do that.
Is that something that you feel has weight?
Y'know...in a Devil's Advocate kinda way?
Yes?
No?
Oh, and here's a question - why did you write at 16:08 yesterday, "Still no sign of sp1814, I wonder why?' when I was the first person to condemn the attacks on Friday morning?
Why didn't you check to see whether I'd posted?

Yes you had no need to copy and paste your first answer, I had already read it along with you other few posts, and it still doesn't show that you gave equal treatments to these three threads, it's all one sided with you just as others have pointed out, and to suggest that I might think this poor lady did it herself, just goes to show what you actually thought in your own slanted mind.
Just answer me this which racist action has been given the most police attention, media attention etc etc?
We wouldn't have know the abysmal treatment shown towards to this poor woman and children if -Talbot- had not found that story, much more than the a bit of pushing and shoving on a station platform, she has most likely had to live with it 24/7.
Anyone in the frame yet of course there isn't and most likely there will never be.
By the way is "Oyinbo" a racist word and should we only refer to it as the 'O' word in future, or can just whites say it but blacks can't?

The reason I and so many others focused on your thread, is because (in my opinion) you were proffering an invalid argument (as you did playing Devil's Advocate).
I don't think there was much to argue about in the other thread. I said what should happen to the perpetrators of this vile act, and that was that. As no-one argued against what I said, what would be the point in adding more to my position.
On your thread however, there were many arguments back an forth as to whether it was an act of racism.
There was no such 'defence' in the -Talbot- thread.

Well now you have put that down in writing I suppose you can expect similar condemnation that I endured over my thread?
You still haven't answered my observation regarding the lack of media and police attention shown towards that black on white racist action?

So to clarify - you made a simple mistake. You missed my post on Friday because you joined the discussion late and hadn't read though all the posts, is that correct? We've all done that before - I'm just wondering if this is what happened to you?
You write:
"You still haven't answered my observation regarding the lack of media and police attention shown towards that black on white racist action?"
Are you referring to the case posted here by -Talbot-?
From your Daily Mail link:
The incident was reported to West Midlands Police, who said it was treating the attack as racially aggravated criminal damage and it was being taken 'very seriously'.
Officers have made door-to-door inquiries while forensics experts are studying the note and they are also liaising with Whitefriars.
Police are hopeful that because the flat looks out onto a busy street, there will have been some witnesses.
I cannot give you an answer for the media in general. Only two national papers have covered the story. I have no idea why this would be.

And now seeing as I'm playing Devil's Advocate (and I acknowledge that this position can be easily argued against), I'll ask again. What evidence do you have that this woman didn't write these things on her door herself?
I assume you need the same rigorous level of evidentiary support in the Willenhall case as you sought in the Paris case?
Do you believe that the Willenhall race attack definitely happened without any corroborating evidence, whilst the Paris incident which has a supporting video is less clear cut?
