I'm more cautious on my opinions of people from a different race than me. But some of the things you posted links to did not seem to be racist. I'm not sure what your problem is here.

Exactly. He fights for racism under various white guises and then attacks blacks for being racist. White only Racism in his book. He's not as bad as he comes across though, he loves goliwogs.
45. I grew up poor - my dad drifted from dead end job to another. Both my parents voted Tory and were terrified of anything left of Enoch Powell.
Same here (although wish I was 45)

55 ?? really ? i genuinely thought you were a teenager judging by the maturity of your posts.
I remember visiting home during my Business Studies Degree days. One day my Mum said "I was so embarrassed yesterday. I took the cat to the Vets and when he opened the cat box I realised it was lined with one of your old old Guardians'.
Pot kettle etc. I can't finish the idiom as an idiot would think I am racist.

as i said , you come across like a teenager , this post exemplifies it, either that or youre an idiot, because only an idiot would even connect it with racism.

What's going on... he only entered the race a couple of days ago?? Weird.

Aiming for the record of fastest resignation? 4 months before being elected seems pretty good...
“Shortly before the election campaign, I made the decision, in the event that Labour was defeated and a new Leader was to be elected, to stand for the leadership of the party if there was a desire in the party for me to do so.
“I dearly hoped Labour would win the election and it was a decision I would not have to implement.
“I also thought I understood the scrutiny and attention a leadership contest would bring.“As a member of the Shadow Cabinet, I am used to a level of attention which is part and parcel of the job. I witnessed the 2010 leadership election process close up and thought I would be comfortable with what it involved.
“However since the night of our defeat last week I have been subject to the added level of pressure that comes with being a leadership candidate.
“I have not found it to be a comfortable experience.
“One can imagine what running for leader can be like, understand its demands and the attention but nothing compares to actually doing it and the impact on the rest of one’s life.
“Consequently after further reflection I am withdrawing my candidacy.
“I apologise to all those who have kindly supported and encouraged me to do this and for disappointing them. I know this will come as I surprise to many but I had always wondered whether it was all too soon for me to launch this leadership bid – I fear it was.
“Most importantly, I continued to have very real concerns and worry about this bid’s impact on those close to me.
“I intend to carry on playing my full role as a proud member of our Shadow Cabinet taking on the Tories. I also hope to play a leading role in Labour’s campaign to keep the UK in the EU during the forthcoming referendum which is absolutely crucial. Most importantly, I will as ever continue to serve the area I know and love – the Streatham parliamentary constituency.”

Two of the 'best' candidates already fallen by the wayside. Oh dear.

Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna has withdrawn from the Labour party leadership contest, he has announced.
Mr Umunna, 36, had been the second candidate to declare his intention to stand, via a post on his Facebook page.
But he said in a statement that he was not comfortable with the level of pressure that came with being a leadership candidate.

Soulmans picture of him on NSC identifying him as a UKIP member?
Far worse , the rumour that he is a Palace fan made his position untenable as a candidate.
