We have a similar situation with the black & indian communities, certainly locally anyway (Handsworth). Like I said, our race commentators blame whitey for it, lol !

I agree about Lee. It seems the older he is, the more obnoxious he gets (even though he has done some great work.)
Unfortunately, racism can be found in any racial/ethnic group. Witness the growing divide here in the U.S. between some African Americans and Hispanics. It's sad and so unecessary.

k.w.

Spike Lee - what a whining fucking trouble-maker. "Woe is me..."

Over here we have Darkus Howe (who I used to have time for) who reckons that racism is a white thing & so if any other races do it, they've learnt it from whitey. Genius! He clearly hasn't figured out that we're all the fucking same!!!!!!

Competition is a barbaric, insensitive ritual that reeks of social Darwinism.We cannot allow the fittest to survive on our pages. Your loss is someoneelse's gain, and your gain is someone else's loss. Therefore, losers contributeto the society and winners take away from it. Being a winner is unethical, whilea society of losers is happy and striving as a collective. In the spirit of diversity,inclusiveness, and collectivism our contests shall have no winners.Everyone is declared a loser, which in our book means an ethical team player.
