Default Slavery

I see the bull**** has started. They all want excuses these days. Now blacks have problems because they have been born in post-slavery Britain.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/6453973.stm

Does anyone think there is real racism against black people in the UK these days?

Well, yes, there is racism against black people in the UK, and, for that matter, against white people too.

I believe it is a human trait to be "tribal" in one way or another - an instinct we need to fight against.

Having said that, Carribean culture seems to be different from British culture, which may explain different behaviour.

A think "Dirty Harry" had the human race summed up, he hated everybody.

Maybe the 'excuse' is stretching it a little - however I think racism is still very real.

Racism is alive and kicking everywhere, doesn't matter if your black, white or whatever!!

But the biggest racist against white peope are the goverment, regardless of what party they are!!

They are so s**t scared of being called racist they let anyone and everyone into the country, and just to make themselves look even better they let in refugees from all over without any vetting and put them up in flats and hand out benefit books like confetti!!

It's no wonder the country is going down the pan!!

The biggest mistake this or whichever Govt ever made was voting to accept the European Court of Human Rights.

It was one of them lets vote for it as it will not affect us due to our democratic legislation. Oh fool them, now its oh fool us.

It was a legislation for every *** wipe to hold the country or tax payer to ransom, egged on by lawyers(parasites) applying for Legal Aid paid by the tax payer to take to court the tax payer.

Monty Python could not have scripted it was so far fetched.

A British born black has the same opportunity as any one else. I've met many blacks working as professionals and i've certainly never seen anything that would remotely resemble racist behaviour.

I'm not saying it doesn't occur, it's just that the people that do it these days would be the sort of people that would find anything to abuse someone over.

Lee Jasper is one of the biggest racists in this country and yet is an advisor to Ken Livingstone.

Even the older generations of blacks are disgusted by the behaviour of many in this current generation. But I don't believe for one minute slavery or racism is to blame for a lot of this gang related behaviour or the inability of many to pull themselves out of poverty and crime.

Racism is alive and well in Britain today.

Another 50 years and it might be wiped out.

But I doubt it

There is no racism in this country, or sexism, or disability discrimination, or homophobia..

As long as you are a straight, able-bodied, white male

too many do-gooders in this country, what happened in the past is in the past - its called history. next thing is we will be demanding an apology from the italians (romans) for invading britain. there is an old proverb "let sleeping dogs lie" but with tony liar & his cronies pandering upto any weird odd and supposedly minority ethnic faction what chance do the indiginous population of britain have?

i used to be proud to be british, i,m 51 now and over the past few years this country has become a feeding ground for every parasite on society or humanity. but we still have idiots saying let them in otherwise were infringing their human rights. "THEIR HUMAN RIGHTS" anybody who condones this idiology should have to contribute towards the handouts to these leeches
