The minority of scum causing trouble and damage / inciting riots need a firm hand and the police have shown they have been neutered by the government / social media brigade into doing nothing and a number of officers have also been hurt as were horses.

Get the army in and see if the thugs still think they are hard faced up against real men.

i posted this the other day about the authoritarian personality. it is something we are seeing platformed a lot these days when previously they were ridiculed. maybe some of u may recognize some of these traits buddies.


The Authoritarian Personality Type
According to Adorno's theory, the elements of the Authoritarian personality type are:
  • Blind allegiance to conventional beliefs about right and wrong
  • Respect for submission to acknowledged authority
  • Belief in aggression toward those who do not subscribe to conventional thinking, or who are different
  • A negative view of people in general - i.e. the belief that people would all lie, cheat or steal if given the opportunity
  • A need for strong leadership which displays uncompromising power
  • A belief in simple answers and polemics - i.e. The media controls us all or The source of all our problems is the loss of morals these days.
  • Resistance to creative, dangerous ideas. A black and white worldview.
  • A tendency to project one's own feelings of inadequacy, rage and fear onto a scapegoated group
  • A preoccupation with violence and sex
 
‘Just look how far you’ve come guys. What’s your problem. Hardly anyone uses the n word anymore’.
I genuinely saw a comment on Facebook the other day of someone saying “why is calling the British Brits okay, but calling Pakistanis... (I don’t need to elaborate) not okay?”

Obviously their grammar and spelling was worse than the above
 
But you must see why that is potentially damaging aswell?

If you believe that self fulfilling prophecy is a real thing then a young black kid constantly being told they will never amount to anything because of the nasty white man

1. How does that give them the ambition to achieve/work hard when they think regardless they'll never succeed

2. How does that help heal racial tensions when you are told the white man is and always will be the enemy?

Im all for black people deciding what is or isnt racist but I dont think its ultimately a productive thing.
You see this is the thing.
POC have to tell their children that they are going to experience racism because that is their reality. They have to prepare their children for it because it will happen to them.
I get to decide when I can talk to my child about it. I get to decide whether they are mature enough.
POC don’t have that choice. They need to talk about it as soon as possible to prepare their children for what they experience.

Real men lol..... 80% of the army is made of thick young lads who have to be shown how to make a bed and wash their own knob property..... real men my ar5e
 
Anthony Joshua jumping on the bandwagon was quite funny. He didn't give a mouse's fart about social justice when the Saudis waved millions in his face to help them with their sports-washing. Saudi Lives Matter as well.

Used to like the lad but he's shown himself up to be no better than Tommy Robinson during this. Think he has made racist comments in the past aswell which were brushed under the rug.

But there is a difference between some uneducated bloke being racist and a country/society that actively goes out of its way to prevent minorities from living a happy life.

I haven't a problem with BAME telling their kids to watch out for far right idiots - but I have a problem with them telling them that they'll never get a job, succeed or achieve anything because the country is racist.

The former prepares them for encountering uneducated scumbags

The latter creates a self fulfilling prophecy which dooms alot of working class BAME to falling down the cracks.

The issue alongside poverty in working class white & black children is that they dont value education because they dont believe they are clever/good enough.

Im thick as mince but I put the hard work in and got my qualifications whereas a good few mates of mine who grew up on my council estate (both white and black) never took education seriously and since school have been unemployed/agency work and one or two has been in and out of prison for drug offences.

I just think in society we look for excuses for why people struggle - Sol Campbell cant get a Premier league managers job - but Chris Hughton and Darren Moore can so is it racism or is it just he wasnt good enough in the interview process?

If a term is felt to be racist by the recipient then it's correct that it's then not used but it is confusing when people use the term "Yid" or how black people use the "N" word about themselves. It does muddy the waters.

Years ago when in Australia I learned it's the same there to not use the old often used abbreviation for Aboriginal people.

He's management said that he's account had been hacked??
Who really knows but I think he's comments at one of the rally's did nothing to help with community relations.

you see this is the thing. Do you think a black parent is telling their children they’ll never get a job?

no, they are telling them they’ll have to work twice as hard, that they should consider their hairstyle in the work place, that maybe they should consider a more ‘English’ sounding name for their own children as it will likely be better on their CV.

I’ve been told loads of times to soften my accent. As it’s better for clients. And it’ll help me progress. It has no bearing on how well I can do my job or how bright i am.

Prejudice exists at all levels for loads of reasons. Racism is one of those prejudices. Ignoring them doesn’t make them go away. Acknowledging them. Talking about them. Exploring the differences. Empathy and understanding. Communication. Acceptance.

that’s how you battle it.

Sent another boxer DMs calling him a "disgrace to the black race" for sparring Fury to help him prepare for a fight. Blamed it on his social media being hacked. Joshua is a total phony clown and an all round nasty piece of work.
