What is "racism?"
It is considerably more than any dictionary is likely to say. It is any opposition by whites to official policies of racial preference for non-whites.
It is any preference by whites for their own people and culture. It is any resistance by whites to the idea of becoming a minority people. It is any unwillingness to be pushed aside.
It is, in short, any of the normal aspirations of people-hood that have defined nations since the beginning of history - but only so long as the aspirations are those of whites.
So is it really a bad thing to be considered as "racist?".....

I don't know but i wish I was black. Aside from having an extra inch or two to play with you can say anything you want and nobody would ever dare to question you. Being white sucks - if you even look at a non-white the wrong way you are a racist pig, etc, etc, etc

I have always considered racism to be discrimination against a particular individual, or group of individuals based purely on their race or background, rather than anything you know about those people as individuals.
For example, an employer seeing a black face in an interview panel and deciding that no matter how well qualified he was and how well he answered the questions he would not get the job.
Or a bunch of thugs on a high street on friday night kicking in an asian youth becasue he was asian, never stopping to find out he probably grew up on the same council estate as they did.
Or black youths victimising white people in certain areas of london simply becasue a white face has wandered into a 'black community' and they assume this person shouldnt be there because of the colour of their skin etc..
it has nothing to do with religion ( so count out muslims here for once lol ) but all to do with people judging other peoples character/worth and quality based just on their race. I also believe blacks can be as racist as whites ( and im sure theyd freely admit it) it is just 'minorities' have the deck in their favour because the govnt is scared of being seen as 'racist' itself if it prosecutes a black man for racist comments, but wants to be respected by these other minorities for prosecuting whites who make racist comments.
Personally i think they are all as guilty as eachother and the PC govnt have alot more to answer for than anyone of any race! lol

Don't read them then!
I see your point DCI, its all down to the PC Plonkers who are tolerated by this Government because their secret agenda is to get as many immigrants as possible into this country, illegal or otherwise, despite the adverse effects on our economy and the country's infrastructure. They wish to kill our country's traditional way of life and the standards which we used to maintain under an avalanche of "multiculturism".
This way they can eventually gain the sort of absolute conrol over us which they desire as a bunch of underconfident and incompetent control freaks!
Any complaint will be immediately slated as racist of course, it just too easy to do that.
Bunch of hypochrites most of them.

What do you think this sabre rattling is going to achieve? The trouble causers do not care what you or I think. Through years of overly liberal policies we now find ourselves in a situation of fear, uncertainty and alienation. Maybe the election of the BNP will be a wake up call, my only fear is do they have enough intelligent ministers to make up a cabinet?

These threads are no more pointless than the whole of the muppet forum, which in my opinion is the biggest waste of server space and band width on the net. In addition those who don't like the muppet forum choose not to read it, likewise if you don't like threads like this one why don't you choose to stay off them instead of whinging about them?

Because I think these threads are harmful and sickening, and I think it's my duty to stand up against them.

How are they harmful? Sickening maybe. Whether people express their opinions or not they still harbour those feelings, nothing changes by airing them on a BBS. They are opinions and nothing more, unfortuantely whether you dislike/disagree with those opinions those people are entitled to them and as long as they don't break the terms and conditions of using this BBS they are entitled to air them on here.

Bubba - whether you like it or not - racism is sure to be something that affects more and more people . Ignoring it wont make it go away.
If you don't want to talk about it I suggest you stay in hutch while the grown ups talk

I'll thank you not to be insulting, Jasey. If you think talking about "doing Paki birds" is grown-ups talking then you're as big a fool as the person who wrote that quotation. Providing a place for racists to openly air their views and bolster each others' courage in an atmosphere of like-minded support is contrary to the T&Cs of this board.

Why are they harmful and sickening. I would agree a fair few ppl in the UK are racist but many many more like myself are just fed up with all of the political correctness that surrounds the ethnic minorities.
ie https://www.scoobynet.com/now-cant-have-t535599.html
It's things like the above that really pi$$es ppl off these days. Everything seems to have to lean towards the minorities for some reason or other. Also bloody annoying that freedom of speech seems to be being taken away in this country as well. If I dont like or agree with something or someone then I will say it whether it is liked or not.That is my basic right to do so.

Bubba fair play to you mate for taking your stand. However given the current climate I think it's akin to the Dutch boy trying to stop the deluge of water by putting his finger in the leak. There are problems, everyone is aware of that. It is the PC brigade who are getting a lot of stick, examples of their madness. Banning baa baa black sheep, were any black people consulted? No! Infact Asian parents actually went to the school to compain about this madness. Banning hot cross buns! I ask you who the **** would this offend?! Nobody! Banning Christmas decorations! Were any non Christians asked? Answer no! Maybe there is an ulterior motive behind these policies. To stir up trouble and create civil war. If things carry on in this vein certainly this Paki will consider removing his black *** from this wonderful country that has been his home for the last thirty years.
