Are you a Little Bit Racist?

Can you help racism flourish?

Re: Are you a Little Bit Racist?

The only problem with that message is they don't address what racism is. IMO everyone is a little racist everyone has predudices but it's only when you treat people differently that you are a racist IMO

People say they don't notice colour are blind or lying. It's no different to noticing hair colour or eye colour. We all do it.

Re: Are you a Little Bit Racist?

No they are not Julie .
I don't notice colour as a race thing .
Yes of course people see colour as in hair colour but to ' see' a person as coloured that is different .
I see people as people .

You see colour hurray you admit it at last. Everyone does.

That doesn't mean they treat people differently because of that.

Obviously some do and they are the real racists.

Re: Are you a Little Bit Racist?

I don't think I see it in same way that you do .
Perhaps because I have spent so much of my life with people of other races .
I simply don't notice it .

Re: Are you a Little Bit Racist?

Spot on Julie.

Some people are coloured.
some people are disabled.
Some people are white.
Are female ..or male.

We see a person and we describe them. It doesn't mean we should treat them any differently .. well, I'd never kiss a woman so that was a bad example.

The term racism don't half get bandied about too much these days.

How can you say that, you can't read my mind so you have no idea how I see anything.

I see skin colour like I see hair colour, I don't treat anyone differently because they are ginger or blonde.

As for spending time with other races did you think we have a separate home for our nephews ? Do you think I work along side people I don't speak to or get to know ?

You may have spent time in other countries but many of those people also come here. So even a stay at home like me meets all sorts of races in their lifetime.

Difference is I treat them like I'd expect to be treated and don't assume they are bringing anything bad into the country. Their religion and culture I usually welcome, unless they show any unkindness then I will speak up.

Re: Are you a Little Bit Racist?

Hi

Yes I am, I freely admit it.

I really could not be bothered about anyones race creed or colour.

I similarly cannot be bothered about their size or sexual orientation.

To be perfectly honest, the more gay males the better, it reduces competition.

I have a very serious down on Terrorists of any variety.

It used to be the IRA, Catholics like myself, but very different.

I could never kill anyone for not being Catholic.

At this present moment in time I have a serious loathing of Muslims.

Not my Ex Employees, not my Nurses, most certainly not those I meet day to day.

Most definitely not my Heart Surgeon.

My loathing of Muslims is strictly restricted to those Extremists who believe that females are second class and that violence is the way forward to achieve that.

I absolutely loathe Terrorists of any shape form or variety.

I believe that they have no right to take innocent lives as part of their agenda.

I have regularly posted that I do not believe in the Death Penalty for those we capture.

I have also regularly posted that I have no problem at all in killing them to prevent an attack.

Taking it all in all, I am a Racist and at the present moment in time my Targets are Radical Muslims.

The 99% of Muslims who are not Radical are not my targets at all.

Maybe I'm mistaken but it the way it comes over in posts.
You emphasise colour all the time as if it's a big thing.
It is different for me as I have alsways been the minority race /colour when I have lived overseas .
