Right wing politics,does it mean you are Racist ?

[Leekbrookgull]

Following on from the Enoch Powell thread. Is it right to asume that if you vote for a right wing candidate (except Bnp) that others make conclude you have racist veiws ? We often forget what went on in the Eastern Bloc before the wall came down. That to me is another form of racism.

From what I read on this board it often seems to mean you'll have an aggressive personality and are unable to spell

Nope. I'm right-wing and may be a lot of things but racist isn't one of them.

Alan,unable to spell was my downfall at skool ! Agressive,well that,s not me.

 

[Bevendean Hillbilly]

Nope. Although daring to voice concern over unchecked immigration means you are likely to be accused of that on here.

I would class myself as Left leaning but have been slagged off as some sort of Nazi on this forum because I think Muslim extremism is just as vile as fascism. "Leave them alone Hillbilly" they cry, "multiculturalism is fab!" whilst looking over their shoulders when they get on the tube in case some "victim" with a kilo of Semtex strapped to his chest is sitting behind them.

I would consider myself right of centre but think immigration is good for this country

I don't think the old left/right is particularly relevant these days. But, certainly, what is usually (and lazily, imo) described as right-wing does not automatically mean racist. What are you, Christian Democrat-ish, Old One Nation School Tory, Monetarist?

Being right wing does not make you racist nor does having concerns over immigration. In my mind at least, being right wing is far more about economics and opinions on tradition than about any ideas of religious or racist persecution. Afterall, it is a supposed left of centre government who is launching many pieces of anti-terror legislation (such as increased detention time) which would be akin to a right wing party. Why is Gordon Brown's government not thought of as racist yet if a Tory government had passed the same legislation, it would be viewed as xenophobic nonsense passed by an out-of-touch group of fuddiduddies.

Best to err on the safe side and say YES. It does tend to indicate a low IQ, appalling spelling and grammar, and a hatred of hard-working people from other countries who chose to set up home here and allegedly take the jobs of ferals on benefits. Oh, and you tend to resemble a Vietnamese pot-bellied pig. Tho only in about 99% of cases. No offense.

To answer your question Leeky, Course not.

But I'll ask another question. Is it possible to be left wing and a Bigot/Racist.

Answer yes

i think there are a lot of people in this country who now have right wing views but don't want the Nazi tag applied which is so convenient for some people even second generation immigrants are concerned about the influx of outsiders into the country what does that say??

Accusing people of being "liberal apologists" living in the leafy suburbs, when all they did was disagree with Enoch Powell speech doesn't go down well either

You know when you've gone too far - when you sound just like a taxi driver , otherwise I think it is alright to vote for right wing candidates (Conservatives and UKIP) without fear of being branded a nazi. I tore up my Labour Party card in 1998 as New Labour turned into Old Tories when they got into power and shifted radically to the right.
