Unless you have experienced it yourself how can you? There's a societal stigma there and not just in the UK.

Another item on the news was a black woman complaining that the NHS is racist because black people suffer more deaths giving birth. She said they are not given the correct care and attention, well I would say that applies to a lot of people in hospital because we are so overcrowded. Where will it end?

I do actually see your point, many are coming out, because they were silenced for a long time weren’t they.....never had much of a say ,black people, did they?...so I understand where they are also coming from, they have as much right to speak out,as do we.

Good for her. Personally, I absolutely love redheads but if she feels bulllied because of it, then she should create a fuss as others do. Unfortunately, no one will take her seriously, there will be no radio or TV interviews, no newspaper articles and no marches in London.

There's a lot of hair fascism about in schools. Boys were not allowed to have skinheads when I was at school. They were also not allowed to have long hair in those days. The headmistress used to go around roughly sticking girls hair into a ponytail with a rubber band if it was untidy.09-02-2021, 09:56 PM
