Disgusting display of Racism

All you are saying is that it's racist, not that it's necessarily a bad thing...

You can't retrospectively give an 18 year old a better life, but you can give them some support at higher education so they don't have to think about a part time job and money, and can focus on education to attain better grades (which this scholarship does).

The scholarship is means tested, it's not going to well off black kids.

Two problems with this:

1) What about the not so well of white kids then?

2) A black kid and a white kid from equally poor backgrounds go to the same university and same course. Both pass with a First:

The black kid got a scholarship so didn't need a part time job and graduated with zero work experience.

The white kid got a Saturday job at Subways to support him or herself through uni.

As an employer, I now have two mostly identical applications from these two students. The only difference is that one got a first while also working, the other one didnt work and has no work experience.

Now which of these applicants am I going to hire based on merit? Obviously the one that also has the work experience.

Expecting students to not have to work while at uni is the single most dumbest way to guarantee that they will not be able to find a job after.

Then of course the black student will say the reason he isnt getting hired is racism, not the fact that every other applicant was more experienced.

Arguably stop and search. Although that was stopped because even though it was effective...it was racist.

And now we have more violent crimes, and its totally the police's fault for not doing enough to prevent it!

Defund the police!!! They don't do anything. And when they do its racist.

Hmmmm, now why are all the cities burning down?

It is based on household income too, a personal statement, and open to various ethnicities (although admittedly I'd consider them all black).

Confirmation that you have applied, been assessed for and expect to be in receipt of the maximum level of support from the government through Student Finance (England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland) for tuition fees and maintenance loans and that you have provided consent to share your information with the University.


Have one of the following categories of ethnicity:

  • Black African
  • Black Caribbean
  • Black Other
  • Mixed – White and Black Caribbean
  • Mixed – White and Black African
  • Other mixed background (to include Black African, Black Caribbean or Black Other)

I'm 50 and I would say there is far less racism than when i was a teenager- it's socially unacceptable to most. Also, people are way more accepting of gay people.

There will always be cases, but the overt horrible behaviour I used to see as a matter of course has mostly gone away.

Also in my 50s and completely agree with this

Make you take a DNA test? Show them your birth certificate?

Not sure. But as a white, middle aged man who was born and raised in a poor family, council estate, and now does ok through hard work, I feel that if I identify as a black, poor person then I’m instantly ‘winning’ - as it no longer matters what you are in this world, but what you decide to be.

Im a black, poor, Muslim whirling dervish who’s transgender, gay and on weekends I’m a fried egg.

Just need to tell the wife…

I was a kid in the 90s, and the 70s and 80s era died mainly because people got to know each other. It's harder for the average person to be racist to black people if they are friends with a black person and know their family and culture. I think overt racism died naturally over time.

What as stirred up most racism is the anti-racist industry. As the recently departed Jackie Mason used to say that the anti-racist as to look for racism in everything. They have to see racism everywhere or they would have to get a proper job.

I've been brought up around people of black, bangladeshi, or pakistani ethnic origins, so maybe I've never seen blatant racism as I've always been close to ethnic minorities.. its just my normal. But I've found during conversations that its often white people flagging up incidents claiming racism on others behalf.

As an example I remember when people were saying the old black boards were racist because they were black, and the chalk used was white. Or when it was said snooker was racist because the last ball to be potted was a black ball with the white ball being the "victor". I asked my ethnic friends about this, if they found it offensive. All of them said no. They viewed it as an attempt to divide them from the rest of society by making them a special case.

There is real racism out there, just as there is general discrimination... and its not only white people being racist. Other groups do it too, mostly against other ethnic minority groups. It's a complex issue that can only be resolved by people socialising with each other and we seeing everyone as individuals first.

I just remembered about Rachel Dolezal. Just claim to be black, can have white skin and just dye your hair.

You now qualify for all the black people free gibs.

You can also just use a compound called melanotan, it basically causes your skin cells to secrete more melanin. Use enough of it and you will go black.

Edit: In fact there was a womman in the papers who did exactly this and claimed to be "trans-racial".

Does she qualify for black persons grants? Maybe she needs one for her next boob job.

OMG NO I found her YouTube channel.

IT IS NOT GOOD.

The media would have us believe it's worse. In truth I agree it's much better. But the media keep pushing racism because it benefits them by getting them a lot of attention.
