Black people are the most racist people on this planet they keep clutching to slavery to justify their animalistic hateful behaviour but we are finally waking up I don't give a s**t if you call me racist the word doesn't mean anything anymore



That was the edited version!!!!

I prefer the 100 metres over the marathon. Does that make me a racist?

It does. I think it's time you checked your privilege.

I have been singled out for being white, whilst travelling in India. Lots of locals wanting their photo taken with me, I didn't mind, and I dressed in local clobber to fit in.

I was worshipped as a king when I was in egypt in 93. I was 10 yrs old white skin and white hair. I got stuff for free, got served first ( before my uncle, dad, brothers, mum) + +

Had the same with my daughter,she has long blonde wavey hair and was constantly commented on, given gifts when we were in Tunisia

I felt like a celebrity, it was nice.

Haha, exactly, it's hardly racism is it, just novelty. When my mum was young her family lived near Nairobi in Kenya, and one of the local tribes tried to buy her sister!!

Is that all... I wouldn't say all white people are evil, just most of them. I can't be bothered to get all worked up about that then, I'll save it up for our next loss

In all seriousness there are going to be racist black people just like some white people are racist. So I can't get too offended.

I know I'm stepping on thin ice here, but the only slight issue I have with this whole race thing is that as a group it's ok have the black music awards, this dear white people, that comedy film where the Wayans brothers dress up as 'white chicks' etc. I haven't got an issue with any of it - but if it was done the other way around there would be uproar.

Now maybe I might be being an insensitive beep but if I go to a fancy dress party and go as Pele/Ali/Jordan/Mandela etc. (not that I would do this mind) I would be doing it from a point of love as all are heroes of mine. Surely that can't be classed as racist?

So why do we get all this 'don't see colour' stuff, but enable one side to differentiate when it suits them.

I agree with some of this soo much. Especially about White Chicks and the MoBOs. The latter I can understand why they have it, but it is just papering over the cracks instead of trying to solve the real issue.

Just out of interest how much did they offer for your Mums sister ?.

It's just I don't partcicularily like my own sister, as she's a parasitic munter and I'd be interested in possibly part exing her for something like a Land Rover if they had one to swap.

Couple of goats or something like that. This was 50 odd years ago tho, so taking inflation into account.... She was only 2 at the time, so mainly your just paying for potential at that age.

That'll do, plane tickets are being booked for her once in a lifetime holiday as we speak

I, for one, am bloody outraged.

Equally, I saw an award ceremony for female authors recently. I simply cannot see why they need to have that. The world of published fiction surely has to be the most level of all playing fields. No need for such specific awards.

Precisely. And if there is, surely this just excuses it and removes a reason for fighting against the injustice??

This lady disagrees

Racists don't like having it pointed it to them. Simple.
