It's similar to when Greg Dyke ( i think it was him) commented that the BBC was "hideously white". It is perfectly valid to try and work towards creating harmony between ethnic minorities and the native white population ,but it will not be achieved by dismissing, mocking and insulting the white population.

Colm,

That's right. No one wants to discriminate against any group but to single out the majority population for this sort of vilification is outrageous. Self-loathing is a charctertistic of some on the left, I'm afraid.

I don't think you can racially insult a white person. Would you honestly be offended if someone called you white trash?

Black people can be insulted, because of history of color discrimination etc.

Maybe when white people are enslaved on mass, then we can be insulted

Colm

"I don't think you can racially insult a white person"

That patronising rubbish explains why increasing numbers turn to the BNP.

tatchers s & m buddy

"Would you honestly be offended if someone called you white trash?"

Mary Ann Leighnahan might have been

please vote BNP.

Ogra

Its funny how when us whites become poor or whatever, instead of blaming the government or companies that r screwing us,we blame minorities, why? because they have a different chemical pigmentation in their skin. Dont join the BNP, join a union or go to the job centre

Ogra

Colm if someone came up to me an said 'Hey whitey, go back to your own country', i wouldnt care, an would probably laugh at him

if u would fel insulted, fair enough

alison

"I don't think you can racially insult a white person"

You've GOT to be kidding. Honestly 'tatchers s & m buddy' with rubbish like that people will.

"blaming the government or companies that r screwing us,"

mary ann didnt get screwed by a company.

Ogra

Allison racially insult me, i'm white, go on give it a go, i'll tell u if i'm o ;)

Ogra

'i'll tell u if i'm offended'

Colm

If you as an individual white man, found yourself surrounded by a threatening non-white gang telling you to "get out of their area or else" would you find that equally laughable!.

Racial intimidation and abuse is wrong whatever race the perpretrators or victims are.

alison

Dont patronise me Ogra. Ive been racially abused twice, once only recently, minding my own business with my other half (who isnt white). Go figure

Ogra

yes colm i agree. white people can be physically attacked due to race, but can they be verbaly insulted due to their race?

this is a case of words being used 'unhealthy all white'not actions.
can a white person be racially abused by words, in Britain (or ireland), i think not

Ogra

if a black fella came up to me in Dublin an said u 'white Bastard' i would be insulted by the bastard bit, of course.

if i went up to him an said u 'black bastard' i would be racially abusing him, not just insulting him

Colm

Of course they can Ogra you are being silly. People are individuals , and anyone can be insulted according to race.

When Alison is walking along with her non white partner, and she is verbally abused for being white (regardless of the race of the person who did it) how dare you say she cannot feel insulted.

alison

You can be insulted & intimidated by words absolutely. To suggest that racism is a one way street is dellusional. The exact words used in the instances i mention were hideous. I fail to see how it is somehow less insulting. In fact i think its beyond patronising. Its absolutely wrong to insult or attack a person or persons using their colour or race. Its equally wrong to keep drawing distinctions about which is worse. Its the latter which enforces racial hatred. Hence the reason multi cultural policies are so wrong. And hence the reason to suggest somewhere is 'unhealthily all white' whilst not direct racism is indirect and equally wrong.

Ogra

well, i'm not goin tell someone if they should feel insulted or not, its none of my buisness, and i apoligise Allison if i insulted u. i jus feel that 'unhealthily all white' being used in Britain a very much predominately white country is not as bad as sayin 'unhealthily all Black' in South Africa the opposite would be the case

alison

well it is. An insult is an insult.

Colm

Ogra you're floundering, your argument cannot be sustained. I don't know why you are persisting with it.

Ogra

Alison u believe it is insulting, i don't believe that 'unhealthily all white' in a large majority white country is insulating an i dont think it matters anyway. i think the majority of British people would support my view, as i dont see an uproar bout it. but we will never know

alison

Neither do Colm. Best left.

Colm

Ogra

Alison was referring to the original comment about "unhealthily all white" , she was referring to , just as I was, your comment about how you cannot racially insult a white person. You are wrong about that, and I am certain the majority of white people would consider you to be wrong about that.

Colm

oops, that first sentence should read "Alison WASN'T referring to the original comment...


Ogra

ok u r right, in South Africa u can, an Zimbabwe etc. but i don't believe singling out the white race as a whole or a white persons race in Britain, can be seen as racially insulting, as ye are in the large majority an always have been
