My post was not aimed at what you said J4CKO. I accept what you stated and you have the advantage of me there with your inside knowledge anyway. I also decry the fact that the police have to feel restricted in what they can do for fear of the racist accusation.

I was complaing about the automatic denigration of blacks by another poster. I wonder if what you saw was influenced by concentration of numbers in a particular community though.

Political Correctness: Supression of the truth to avoid that anyone could possibly ever be offended. There's a bit too much of it going on in this thread IMHO. :nono:

It happens quite a lot these days :(

I blame the media. If they showed the above pic on the news for no reason at all, how many people would automatically think terrorist?

True. You can call someone a fat four-eyed ******* and and people will laugh. Call someone a black ******* and you're racist? Are you not a fattist and anti glasses?

:wonder:

I think these two post hit the nails on the head.

Racism, is about hating an entire race. Not about having issues with an individual OR not wanting to forsake your national identity.

Aye true enough there are exceptions in every case.

As Hol said, being a racist is about hating an entire race, which I'm sure only a very small minority do. When people get pissed off and angry they will use whatever offense they can find. Most people use their differences to cause offence. Fat, ugly, skinny, black, rag head etc.

When I was in the TA doing basic training at Grantham, I overheard two English drill instructors talking about how the place would be better without "the fooking Jockanese". Still makes me laugh !
