You need to realise something. It's the 21st century. Your still living in the dark ages.
Whatever happened hundred's of years with slavery is irrelevant. I'm talking about today 2012...
Racism is a two way thing... The PC brigade in my eyes have made this country worse which it's left Wing views. We live in England yet we are the minority nowadays. We can't celebrate certain days because it could upset certain Relgions. If we say anything about it then were 'racist' your words.
As for the black managers statement... That is very narrow minded thing to say. I doubt very much that the reason there's very few managers is because of there skin. John Barnes had his chance and failed miserabley for example. Paul ince another example.
I'm sorry but you've just put yourself in the BNP box to my eyes. PC happened for a reason: to try and prevent prejudice. It used to be OK to call someone a "nigger". I'm sure we can all remember being at school, and if you picked up a penny, everyone shouted "Jew!" at you. It wasn't long ago that black footballers were subjected to monkey-chants and bananas being thrown at them on the pitch (ask John Barnes about the abuse he got playing for England): in many countries with less established immigrant communities (a product of Empire-look, history, relevant again!), racism is much more rampant than it is here. In the 80's, parts of our police force was still institutionally racist-and there are still plenty of nasty racist coppers about, as the stop-and-search statistics show alone.
History is
always relevant: as Dennis Potter said, "It's not
back there, in the past, to be looked at nostalgically-it's
how we got here, and we should live alongside it, so that we can learn from it". And if you don't know your own history, ignorance is likely to fester and flourish.
Who is this "we" you speak of? Does it include Monty Panesar, Sacha Baron-Cohen, Dion Dublin, the bloke you buy your kebab off? Or are they all dirty foreigners? Man, you say
I'm living in the dark ages? Yeah, what we need is a good old fashioned pogrom, it's been a while!
Why are they in this country? Were they not born here? Maybe their ancestors were brought here against their will whilst ours got rich and comfy on the profit they made from the enterprise? So what, d'yer wanna "send them all back where they came from"?
England?!
Last time I checked, Christmas happened as per usual. It didn't get cancelled due to political correctness!
If you want to insult me by saying I'm left wing,
epic fail: I'll happily admit to being what you'd call "left", although I don't like the label as it assumes so much.
I'm not intolerant, either: I like lots of non-PC comedy, like Family Guy, Derek & Clive, Ricky Gervais. But the difference between them & the likes of Jim Davison & Roy Chubby Brown (apart from the former being funny) is that they aren't relying on hatred to have an audience.
