I can't see much interest in this re the recent tragic events here but I would like opinions if possible please. If a white person (a tenant in a housing association block of flats) said to their housing officer who happened to be black.... 'You would help me more if you were white' ... If they said thtat could it be construed as being racist? Would like your comments please ..thanks.
I asked because a member of my extended family who is WHITE was told by a black person ....' If you were BLACK you would help me more! '. ,!! I thought it disgusting.....but of course if one were to explore it more .....because the person 'accused' was white....then that was ok! Funny old world where it works only won't way to be racist but not against the whites!!!! Remember this folks...when you say only white peeps are racist. Yeh..my aspidistra!!!
Why does it work both way Lynne.....we hear so much about white indigenous peeps being racist but all seems to be hidden when it goes the other way....hmmm I wonder why!
No Mamylynne..... It only works one way in my opinion. I am representing the indigenous folk of this country. Not the influx of immigrants ....the peeps whose great grandparents and those further back were born here.
Unless people accepts that this is OUR country and we have rights then all hell is let loose.
Racism IMO op is not by degrees! It is racism as it is! I mite be white and opposed to blacks white IMO is wrong but when blacks re opposed to whites apparently that is NOT racism. How does it work against one...apparently the ethnics and not against thee oth
Do me a favour peeps..get real and live in the now...see what is happening to our once brilliant and caring society?!
Thanks mamyalu
Ynne as always calm and considered answers. Hp just wonder about this racism card....it's,ok if you're black but not if you are white....allegedly ..smiling here x
