i didn't say her parents were slaves descended from slaves, maybe.
I know YOU didn't. But SHE says "You white people brought my parents here from Africa..."
You stated the Slave Trade. I stated it is not possible. Unless her parents are hundreds of years old!
She is just mental, doesn't know what she is banging on about. If she doesn't like it here, she can leave.
She looks Somalian - hence my first comment.
Yeah but.. she is quite clearly off her nut
Ever heard of the slave trade?
there have been two cases, and the white women most certainly were arrested and charged.Id be surprised if she didn't have a mental health problem. There was a case previously this year when a white woman wasn't arrested but was instead admitted into a mental health hospital.
i'm still waiting for your answer.In that case the two women were 'hunted down and nicked' after several separate complaints were made to the police. If nobody reports the crime, the police aren't likely to instigate an investigation in the public interest.
I can't see the video as it has been removed but if she is makng racist comments then she should face the consequences of that.
but [MENTION=11956]bushy[/MENTION] Do you accept that given the weight of history, persecuction and the slave trade that racism against black people has more impact than racsm by black people. I a not condoning either but surely you can understand the anger and resentment that still lingers which can cause "reverse racism".
Understand it maybe, tolerate it absolutey not! None of us were born in the slave trade era!, or should that be 'error'
I agree. I am not excusing it, just trying to explain it.
Both are wrong but I am not sure there is the even playing field that bushy likes to ponder. I think that often racist minorities are racist as a direct result of the racism they, their families or ancestors have experienced (there are obviously those who are just ignorant as well). Again I am not excusing it, just trying to explain it.
We can all extrapolate on what reasons we may hold for certain 'preduices' but, I find it odious that free people, who have been free, for long long years still try to use the slave trade in racial arguments. It's been done with for two hundered years for ***sake!
The slave trade may have been but minorities still experience racism and prejudice to this day.
Just a question though, how long should it take people to get over something like the slave trade, the holocaust etc?
Within two clear living generations
thats not to say forget but, no reason for persecution of modern day inhabitants nations by victims of many years past because they are related.
Now you have me really thinking.
I am in full agreement that we agree this country may have erred in it's colonisation of the world but, we were not there! I am now paying tax pounds to fund claims made on centuries old arguments! I dont like it! Thats why I am of this opinion. Stop paying, just prosocute if necessary or shut the *f* up.
So someone is allowed to be angry if their grandfather was taken from his home and sent by force to work for nothing in a far off country, watching his family and friends die on the boats on the way.
But if it is our great grandfather we have no right to be angry.
I think the wounds from these types of massive social injustice take far longer than two generations to heal. I would like to think that we are somewhere close to it now but I am also sure that their are people who are still angry about the long reaching effect the slave trade has had on their lives.
My Gradfather died at the hands of the japanese. I am not seeking compensation nor seeking media absolution! Am I wrong?
