That guy must be absolutely off his tits. So weird. Wonder how they stopped him in the end?

probably laid down a load of mouse traps and watched him roll around.
Ah no, the poor chap was clearly not well.

Opinionated white people condescendingly lecturing other white people about the intricacies of whats racist on the internet, That'll sort it out.

Apologies maybe I did not express myself properly.. What I was trying to say was if you have had all these terrible things happen to you based on the colour of your skin then you would be able to understand and empathise, certainly more than I can as a white person because I have never had those experiences, with the anger that black people are feeling right now. Or do you not think your experiences are comparable?

See @Grinch 's video below...

His drone strikes have murdered countless civilians so he should be an expert on this matter. Can’t wait.

Trump and Obama 2 opposites.

Quite simple for me, a lived experience can give more insight than an opinion on someone else's lived experience.

Correct...depending on who has that experience.

I haven't read these sordid tales of shenanigans but is it true that Zat is a bit of a playboy on the dating scene?

I would like to think so anyway.

I have dabbled...

That is such an unrelated situation it is incredible. The Asian grooming gangs are not an example of systemic abuses based on race. They have nothing to do with privilege, white or other. White people have not been oppressed in the UK for years by Asian grooming gangs.

I'll repeat what I said before. Some white people have a harder time than some people of minority races. The vast majority however do not when their societal situations are equivalent. Therefore there is white privilege in the UK (same goes for US and all majority white countries). This is not a racist thing to say against white people, it is merely a statement of fact.

I think the point i was trying to make was in response to "if any white person and any black person both grow up in the same environment in UK the white person will be better off"

Or something along those lines (its late)...so i was saying not all...

Very strong message.

It might help.

Now you know how I felt when all of Whoville mad fun of me and sent me into the mountains with my dog. But all opinions are welcome no matter color, race, gender, and even if you are a kopite (actually.... nevermind on that one)

To be fair, a male white, uk ex-pat, living in the Philippines, is among the most discriminated of all people.
We can only imagine the hardships he faces as he courts his local ‘girlfriends’ and drinks in various ex-pat bars with red faced Dutchmen wearing Hawaiian shirts complaining that the locals are all untrustworthy and lazy.

If only one of them could teach him that the plural of experience isn't data

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

I dont believe that to be true.

If we exchange black for ethnic minority in the UK.

Then look at the vile things which happened to young white girls in the Asian grooming cases and also at other examples in areas where there were more minorities than whites then it doesnt ring true for me.

What about other races living as a minority within those minority groups...



I was responding to the question @anjelikaferrett posed...take a look?



Possibly so...although if you compare black people in upper class thresholds with low income thresholds of white people that would be an interesting comparison.

Umm werent all the men associated with that grooming gang prosecuted and jailed?

And correct me if I'm wrong but they werent the police?

So when you have Asian police officers systematically policing young white kids in a heavy handed way and, indeed, routinely murdering them without sanction you may have a point.

If you're scouring the dating thread for grot then jesus it must have been a while.

I feel like this is a bit of a koff to Trump by the DC mayor

Kicking off in Whitehall now
