Do you believe what this guy says?

Nemo from what i saw in eoin's post he was merely stating that because of his colour, People we're afraid to complain as he would claim it racist.

That is generally what happens. Other races can spread hate as much as they like, once anything from a white person gets said. Bam.. the race card is pulled.

I couldn't care less about mixed race. all i care about is equality which when you put it into what eoin said, isn't there as the race card was one of the options in context

EDIT: Damn, started writing this before eoin posted his reply, had to try to make it sound non-racist

Hmm I agree with fighting politicial correctness. It does get too ridiculous sometimes. I do agree with deporting illegals... and yeah that's pretty much it. Before I move onto how ignorant and uneducated he is, which is ironic when you consider that he kept talking about educating voters, I noticed the 'TEAHAD' he talks about was last year. Any idea how popular these were?

45% of city, state, federal jobs are given to black people and this is why the government doesn't work. So the whole government doesn't work because of 45%. Governments "don't work" - how do you measure that anyway? economic performance? morale of country? highest education pass rate? - because of various things, so it's ridiculous to assume that its all the blacks' fault.

"Are we racist because we [oppose devout Muslims as head of security] do not want to kill babies, love Christmas or want God in our lives?" - How uneducated is this. Firstly, murder is wrong in pretty much every religion, Jesus is a prophet (not the Son of God as Christians but a prophet who they respect and admire) and Allah is just another word for God, who generally have the same characteristics. To assume that Muslims want to kill babies, hate Christmas and don't want God in anyone's lives is ridiculous and making sweeping generalisations.

We all have prejudices. I imagine everyone gets on a plane and looks around to see if there are any suspicious black people on board. This is what people like this guy feeds on: prejudices. It is not racist to want an immigration debate, it is not racist to call people blacks as a descriptive term but it is racist to generalise ALL muslims as extremists, ALL blacks as failures etc.

Niamh maybe Eoin means if they stood up to him they might get called a racist. I dunno.

Whats with people generalising so much these days

As opposed to the ancient Greeks who believed anyone not born in Greece to be uncultured savages, the Romans who used foreign slaves for sporting and sexual entertainment believing it to be all they were good for, the Crusade-era Europeans who demonised all people with dark skin and thought they were actual devils, the colonists who bought and sold entire countries whilst again thinking their occupants to be good for nothing but slaves and concubines... and so on

Racism isn't new, generalisations aren't new, discrimination isn't new. If we were all the same colour and had the same physiques we'd get bored and start picking on each other for other things like accents (lol Northerners) or back to basics for being from a different area. Humans are a tribal species, not a metropolitan "one-world" type

Whilst on the topic of racism, another thing that really annoys me is black people saying ****** but when we say it we are racist. How does that make any sense? That's like a thin person saying to a fat person "You fat idiot" but if a fat person says it to another fat person it is not an insult. I think not.

I don't think you read my post properly because you completely misunderstood me. I said "People were afraid to say anything to him since he was one of only two black people in the school". This was my point. I didn't say he was how he was because of his skin colour >>>ANYWHERE<<< in my post.

Oh ok my bad, i still find that silly though. Just get some balls (buy em off me if ya want ) and just get it dealt with. I dont see why people always find ways to make things more complicated than they need to be?

Yep, that's what i meant.

This is also true. I also never heard anybody criticising people who say "white trash". I suppose people in America may be more familiar with this than we are.

Well, to answer that i'll refer to your previous post. Look at what you wrote once i mentioned he was black. Even though i didn't criticise anything to do with his skin colour at all you essentially called me a racist without using the word.

This is exactly what people are afraid of in real life situations. People don't want to be branded a racist after being told constantly throughout their school years that racists are evil, horrible etc.
