Yeah, that's sick alright. I saw people who do stupid things like that should have similar done to them. Only aim the axe a bit lower.

CJ, I know what you mean. My dad is a prime example.

That's pretty disturbing. Way to discredit any advancement we may have made in the last few decades.

Nobody of my family is a racist and I hate racists, because I think that every race is somewhat the same to each other and humans are all equal.

If someone says racism isnt a problem, they are blind. Sad thing is, I dont think racism will ever go away either. At least not completely.

My dad's racist too. lolz let's make a club.

Last year at my school, I had to listen to this idiot discussion between classmates about how racism isn't around anymore. These are the same people who write political messages on the bathroom walls without a damn clue about anything.
ARGH.

My girlfriend's mum is the same. She spouts abuse in her own home because she's "allowed to". She also manages to justify homophobia because the "bible says it's ok to hate gays".

Seriously, people need to be more enlightened these days. Racism and prejudice cannot and must not be justified. "The bible says it's ok" and "I have free speech, don't I?" and "it's not natural" are among the weakest of excuses for hatred.

Take the situation in Northern Ireland. There are some young people there who just use the divide between Catholic and Protestant communities to justify violence. They probably don't even know what caused the rift, or the history between the divide and why we don't have that divide in Great Britain. There are some people who will start a riot just because they have that excuse, and it shouldn't be allowed to continue.

Racism is probably still as common as it was 50-60 years ago, it's just that most people will not admit it as it's not politically correct. The main problem is how most of us grow up separated from different ethnical groups, which just adds to the "us and them" issue.

Brutal English repression that played on North Irish Catholics and their hopes to join with Ireland proper and seek freedom from the genocidal English? Something along those lines. I know ex-Sinn Fein members. *meh*

Still, racism is a clear and present problem. I've attoned for the problems I caused during a brief stint with White Supremacy and am currently exploring other cultures quite strongly. Next year I'm hoping to take part in cultural communities and "tension-relieving" activities to smooth relations between different ethnic communities.

Doesn't surprise me, people are just so stupid these days. Wouldn't you say it's more the older generation that drags this out as an issue though?

I'm glad my family isn't racist -at all-, it would just annoy me if they were.

Also, racism is prevalent in the British working-class. The Tories and BNP exploit the shit out of the conditions of industrial cities that have been on an economic slump since the 70s by using that anger. Alot of the anger gets channeled into blaming the situation on someone...anyone. And that generally becomes racism. Liverpool, where this happened, is noteable for its great class rift and this is the act of the British working class. The area where it happened is very...dingy...shall I say? And also Liverpool itself is the portrait of a saddened industrial town.

Xeo - People have been stupid through the ages. No different now then it was 10, 15, 20, 30, 60, 120, 400, 1000, 2000 or 11'867 years ago.
