its a classic mistake to gain your experience from a sociology textbook, its not poverty and decay that i complain about, its the refusal of certain sections of society to recognise that racism works both ways,that the mentality of large sections of afro caribbean people is to use the " its because im black" excuse, when they have nobody but themselves to blame for their problems, granted they no doubt experienced discrimination when they first came here , but this country bends over backwards nowadays to help them, its all very easy for people to laugh at stereotypical white chav caricatures like wayne and waynetta, god forbid someone did a spoof on an inner city bad bwoy, they even complained about ali g and his "negative portrayal" of young black men.this country seems to be constantly wringing its hands with middle class guilt over its colonial past , well i feel no guilt whatsoever , my parents lived in GENUINE poverty in the 40s and 50s and have worked hard all their life to make themselves and their family comfortable , they had it no better than the people the hand wringers are so guilty about ,and yet they are forced to watch their tax money spunked on so called " asylum seekers" , quite a few people dont agree with me , quite a few do , quite a few do but wouldnt put it in such extreme terms , but a lot more people in england agree with my views than the liberal left on here .
Can you provide figures to prove that all ths money and help is going to asylum seekers? I would genuinely be interested to see the figures.
Also, your parents were given the chance to get out of poverty, why shouldn't asylum seekers? I sincerely doubt your parents knew what real poverty was. Take a look at some of the African or Baltic countries and try and compare that to what your parents experienced. I'm sure it may seem like poverty to you but I doubt very much it was what a lot of people with perhaps a more open minded view of the world would class as poverty.
