[kj] Sex Pistols singer faces race attack claims

[ade]

Apologies mate, I was coming from a very low-level social point of view here, whereas you're talking
about the scum that pull the strings. Actually, that sort are probably less racist than your average
idiot, as they don't care what colour money is (or the workforce that produces it), as long as it's
money.

It's not about legistlation or mind control to get people to "love foreigners". The main point is that racist policies help the few (those 1% that control more and more wealth) and fuck over the rest of us (for example, by getting people to fight over the few jobs that are actually out there).

Yeah, I know who you're referring to & I used to too Greg, 'til I realised there are more of Them than Us. What should we do, chuck three-quarters of a country in the slammer for not liking foreigners? It's nice to say something should be dealt with, but erm, how?
 
I think racism is a VERY SAD aspect of human nature. I wouldn't support it in any way. But really, having it in for racists is just the same sort of prejudice, it's only that it seems *Just* to you & I is all. Value systems.
 
Truth is I don't really know WHAT can be done about it, but I do know that things were better in the UK as each generation passed, but once the Islamists started noticeably cracking-off earlier this decade, it's gone very badly wrong, progress has gone backwards in fact. I thought things were *relatively* fine in the 90's, though I may be being naive.
 
As for this girl getting in trouble for punching an idiot, well, that's just typical fucking 'justice' for you.

That girl should organize people to defend her, for standing up to some racist asshole. Despite what some on this list think, I think racism should be dealt with.

People, even kids, know when they are being patronised. Was reading an
article about a study that showed that kids who are regularly lauded for
'effort' and 'trying hard', all that shit,

Just yesterday heard from a girl friend from Belgium- Belgium born but Indian (adopted) - shes on the train coming from visiting her sick Grandmother in the hospital. Some girl is pestering her and throwing incessant racist comments at her. My friend (who does english boxing and muay Thai) is tiny, but tells her she really needs to stop or shes gonna get hurt. Of course that never stops anyone- my friend loses it smashes the girls head, breaks her nose amongst other things- gets arrested could be in a heap of trouble- racism/ignorance sucks.
