Because if it was the other way around it'd be a racial incident.

Not unless there was racial intent.

Even if the attack wasn't racially motivated, beating a frail 96 year old should be enough to see you get a substantial custodial sentence.....

And your own hand stuffed up your bum to the wrist.

Give bhavv some credit, I always thought OAP stood for old and putrid.

Did I really just Imagine a 96 year old WW2 veteran beating a black man... sometimes I type faster than I think.

The above can probably be said for a large of proportion of violence. But the sad fact is when it is a white person attacking a black person it is nearly always announced as a racial attack.

Perhaps that's because assaults are extremely common and the media focus on hate crimes or those with another sensational aspect (e.g. punching a WWII vet) because they're more interesting?

Yeah totally good one. What a pointless post. I was expressing my disgust at the bloke as he was totally out of order.

OP fail tbh. What the hell is the point of putting a 4-year old article up and passing it off as recent? A Daily Mail tactic if there ever was one

In DD's mind race hate never gets old.

WW2 veteran and black is irrelevant.

To compare and contrast this incident with that of tram woman, which IS recent and indeed ongoing.

If she could post in this thread she'd probably say there you go, that's the sort of thing I was talking about.

Just a thought, but do you think your life might be more enjoyable if you just decided to knock your negativity and racism on the head and do something else instead? May be have a bit of therapy.

Then it belongs in the other thread relating to the Woman on the Tram.......but then, the reality is that you used this as another excuse to vent your ideology only you are not honest enough to admit it.

The bottom line is that neither mans colour is relevant to the assault or how it was dealt with.

When are the admins/dons going to see DD for what he is and act accordingly?

Robbo · 9 Dec 2011 at 09:49

Question to Dirtydog and mini-Dirtydog (Cheets), would you call yourselves racist? Serious question.

The issue is, even if he is racist and people don't like it, he can't really be banned for it unless he breaks the rules - and he doesn't (not often at least).

Scania · 9 Dec 2011 at 09:53

Perhaps the rules should be re-considered then, I find it hard to see DD as anything but racist.

No, I have said before grown up without other cultures so don't see why I suddenly need to now I am 28. Its not going to enrich my life anymore.

Everybody in my village is white and english, all my friends are white and english, I don't see how me wanting to spend time with people that are white and english in England is racist.

I have no problem with other countries, I do have a problem with the current immigration of this country and how its turned certain parts of the UK.
