You're dodging the question and just playing with the labels. Racist, intolerant... whatever label you want to use, can you tell us what the *insert label of your choice* part is?

I doubt everybody that follows Fox is racist but a large majority will be. Its wont be just racists but the basicaly intolerant will be supporting him aswell.

Are people really trying to say that racists arent following Fox because of what he has said even if he didnt mean it to sound like racist acceptance?

They guy has become a hero of the right wing because of what he said about 'white privilage', black history month and Megan Markle. Its not because of a message of acceptance is it?

No. He can't. I'm getting more and more convinced it's some sort of syndrome or indicative of a disability.

I have a theory that racism is a mental condition if Im honest. A bit like narcissism.

No... you haven't highlighted the question :confused: :o



^ This is the actual question be asked.

Christ it's like pulling teeth.

Racists like him because of his outspoken (or at least public) take on white privilage, black history month and his take on the Megan Markle racegate thing. Its fairly obvious what I meant.

Right,it isn't overly clear to be honest no. Let me get this straight, because some of what he says might land within in the beliefs of fringe racist loonies on a venn diagram, you believe that "the majority" of people who agree with his frankly milquetoast views are either intolerant or racist?
 
Weren't his objections to Sainsbury's based on creating black-only "safe spaces", hence segregation, rather than condemning Black History Month itself?

They aren't the only ones, we seem to be travelling back in time because promoting segregation by race seems to becoming more of a common thing these days, BLM love it!
 
It’s not simply enough not to be racist anymore these days. You have to display maximum white guilt at all times and be supportive of every last piece of anti-white propaganda in the media or you get labelled a racist.

Yes I honestly do. I am allowed an opinion here I take it?

There is a big difference between people who just agree with his views and the racists that agree with his view because they have a racist take on them.

No you dont have to display maximum white guilt at all times and be supportive of every last piece of anti-white propaganda in the media or you get labelled a racist. You just have to not sound like a racist is all.

It wasnt that long ago that some of the same people were complaining about international womens day.

I've heard this phrase banded about frequently :-

" It's not enough not to be racist. You have to be actively 'Anti-racist' "

Which according to most anti-racism policies I've seen in workplaces would appear to be willing to accept positive discrimination against white people.

If I refuse to tolerate people being actively given preferential treatment on the basis of their skin colour , or argue against an "anti-racist" policy which mandates that should happen, does that make me a racist?

I don't understand how anybody could read channel 4 "anti-racism" statement and not find it utterly abhorrent.

Our Staff: We commit to strive for BAME equity as an employer
We are committed to the target that 20% of Channel 4 staff, and 20% of the top 100 paid staff, will be BAME by 2023.
Today we are at 17% of total and 14% of top 100 and we must go further and faster to hit this target.
We believe that by having diversity amongst our most senior decision makers we will unlock change.
We will launch a new mentoring programme for our diverse staff in 2020 so that they can develop their careers

We have had a bulletin at work as well with that phrase. I really object to my workplace preaching politics at me tbh. Especially when our firm is way better than many when it comes to mixed demographics.

We literally have it enshrined in UK law that if two equally qualified candidates apply for a job , one white and the other not, it's perfectly legal to actively give the job to the non-white person in order to meet a diversity/anti-racism quota. In fact doing so is called "positive action"!

If the reverse was done and job given to the white person it would be "positive discrimination" which is illegal in UK employment law!

So much for "white privilege"!

It is, it's mostly just signalling by innumerate people who seem to attribute various gaps in outcomes between groups to some particular grievance: sexism, racism etc..

The idea seems to be that if you introduce some "positive" discrimination you somehow solve the percieved issue...

International Women’s Day needs to be re-named International Anyone Who Identifies As Female Day or are you a closet TERF Tony?

Which part the thespian or the racist part? I stole the thespian part.
Chris Wilson said:
Far too sweeping a statement, I am a fan of Nigel Farage but draw the line at some Thespian desiring to further split the vote of the Right, seemingly for his own aggrandisement. Neither approach the educational level or oratory skills of earlier politicians of similar mindset, like Powell. But given the constant dumbing down of university pass levels and the specious courses offered, that's hardly surprising :(
