Utter shite. You know that I know people who have got those scumbuckets jailed. Pick another one to vent your racism at.

Easy to throw out when you're talking to a racist. 

Own it.

Or don't. 

Stop giving it "edgy" news reports about people with dark skin. Just say what you mean - if you stand by your ideology.

Odd, I was expecting an answer to that one. Odd that.

 

I wasn't, it was a difficult question after all.

Who cares anyway?

You guys obviously seeing as you throw it out so often. Wanting to stop illegal immigration and to see justice delivered equally does not a racist make. I’ve answered the question/accusation dozens of times to no avail, on a day to day basis I work with more races and religions than most on  this site and I can tell you now not one of them would fail to tell you that your claims are utterly shite. But you know it’s easy to throw it out and virtually impossible to disprove 🤷‍♂️hence it’s the go to last resort action. You seriously wonder why reform are being on the rise. 
As for own it or don’t

Aye, but you make a big deal of it and don't seem to be too arsed when white-skinned wronguns are in the news.

You can (clearly) be a racist even if you work with people with dark skin.

I'm not buying what you're selling.

I you are bloody right I make a big deal about, I don’t really care Mark what you buy as I know the truth. You probably will never see me interacting with a multitude of races or religions so have zero evidence just a left wing biased opinion. 
As long as the wronguns go to jail regardless or race or religion I don’t care , unfortunately that has not happened and you know it. You’d maybe feel different if your daughter had been gang raped behind a kebab shop in Rotherham

JD, My lass works with people who were, and are, subject to the things you speak about. You are jumping on a bandwagon you know nothing about. In real terms.

I will give it a rest if you will.

How do people define racism?

 

Dictionary meaning? Which dictionary? From what year? You’re not bound by that definition unless you want to be. You could alter it or write your own.
 

An elephant test? You can’t easily describe it but you know it when you see it. But what if other people see it (i.e. the world) differently?


The reality is that nobody’s thought about it. They just let themselves get sifted into boxes of being “racist” or not, with no consideration of what it really entails. The media push people in all directions. It doesn’t matter which direction people allow themselves to be pushed as long as they get pushed into one position or other (and then keep buying the appropriate newspaper for that position). 

 

I sat down and thought about it a while ago. I decided that I think racism is when you think a group of people are unworthy of self ownership, like how animals are generally regarded as property, not moral agents etc. So you can dislike blacks or whoever but as long as you don’t think they shouldn’t be able to conduct their own lives as humans, you’re not a racist. You just don’t like black people.
