i know it is complex but we are obsessed with race and it is tiresome....... some will tell me i am unconsciously racist &/or sexist and the problem is as a white male i cant argue that because apparently I am already in the position of privilege and power (despite the fact that for..... counts on fingers. ...... 25 years of employment 23 of them have been with a female boss (5 or 6 of them) , the absolute best of whom i miss dearly was not Caucasian.
Race and ethnicity facts and information
Race and ethnicity don't show up at the genetic level, but the concept of race still forms the human experience.www.nationalgeographic.com
I googled race and ethnicity.
So, are all humans one "race" with various ethnicities. Or does humanity have different races which in themselves have different eithnicities?
I assumed, other than religion whether born into or converted, people of the same skin colour and other visual similarities defined the race? Never really thought about it tbh.
Essentially Abbott was saying only black people can be victims of racism. Irrespective of any other denomination you care to mention.
i am as interested in the colour of a persons skin as much as i am the colour of their hair or they eyes...... i have way more difficulties with culture or religion clashes than i do race, and that often gets rolled up into being a racist but i think its different.
Even then however, dont try to force your views on me and we will be fine.

They were saying on TheTimes radio YouTube channel that she had the whip taken away from her. Talk about an unwelcome mental image.

oh i fully agree ** who he shares a bed with is not why i dont want him leading the country
** slight small print however, I would feel it hypocritical with 1 rule for one and one for another if he was championing family values for instance and the importance of the sanctity of marriage if he turned out to be a serial adulterer....... but it would not be his choice of bedfellows which would put me off him then, but his double standards (of which he has been proven beyond doubt to have)

There was a long article I read by one of Mr. Corbyn's university friends who said that out of the group of politically led friends he ran around with Jeremy was by far the most "woke".
It's alleged he invited several back to his flat and deliberately had Diane come out of his bedroom scantily clad (presumably she had youth on her side then, if not classical beauty and charisma) just to show them his wokeometer was at the heady "entertaining a black girl" end of the scale.
It was backed up by others present who claimed it was typical of him to do something like that to show his dedication to slapping the small c conservative establishment in the face.

that’s increasingly the problem. Many groups are trying to effectively create a hierarchy of victimhood where certain groups are painted as being oppressed and others celebrated as virtuous based solely on identity characteristics like race/gender/etc.
Strangely they generally seem happy with this as long as the group they’re slandering are white, Christian and male. However, the moment “oppressed groups” ” attack each other it’s viewed very differently. As you can see when a black woman says Jews are effectively less oppressed and victimised than black Africans.
IMO this situation has arisen because they’ve all become complacent that similar bigotry directed towards white, Christian men has effectively become normalised and not only tolerated but actively celebrated . Ie white privilege, toxic masculinity, etc.
Can’t we just go back to treating people equally based on their merit as individuals rather than trying to divide them by identity characteristics?
Worryingly, the Labour Party in particular seem to be enthralled by this mindset. If they actually want back into power they really need to start focusing on their core policies of workers rights, union support, social housing, free healthcare, etc instead of pandering to strange ideologies.
They desperately need to start appealing to actual workers because right now they increasingly come across as the party of benefits scroungers and student/unemployed political activists!

It should have.
This comment just highlights my thoughts about anti-white bigotry effectively being normalised in a way that (rightly) wouldn’t be tolerated against other ethnicities!
Can you imagine anyone using similar phrases to generalise and attack other ethnicities?
Appreciate you proving my point so effectively….!

Where I live, you could put the dessicated corpse of Thatcher up as the Labour candidate, and still be sure of romping home.

Possibly because that section of the community are very vocal about it to the point of perpetual martyrdom?
I sometimes think they like to present themselves as constant innocent victims throughout history when, even now, they are hardly blameless themselves when it comes to attempts at ethnic cleansing
Meh, probably not really the thread for it TBH

What do white people have to be guilty of?
We as white people, sorry if I assumed, are the oppressors on the west and until we pay reparations we should bow our heads in shame.
Have you seen a history book? Everything that's wrong with the west is our fault. Now we are destroying the world with global warming too.
