what many don't realise is that black proper were the first to have black slaves. When the White man discover new countries, the black man sold slaves to the White man.

People need to understand this, the black man will have treated the black slaves just the same as the White man did.

Slavery is nothing to do with this discussion IMO.

Fact that blacks used to be slaves does not give them right to behave any differently. Fact that we used to own slaves does not mean we should act any differently either by same score.


Anyway half of race issues come from pakistanis, who were never slaves and came here under different circumstances.

There are no black only schools in the UK. Radio 1xtra is not a black only station.
doesn't MOBO stand for "music of black origin"? I know that the awards can be won by anyone but could you imagine the uproar if there was a MOWO award ceremony. I dont think the MOBO's are racist but they do promote segregation.

Also, google 1xtra and check the tagline beneath the first title.

Its not islolated either, its goes on mate, if you dont think all this stuff about black only schools etc exists, you must live in a different world to me, cos there are things like this in brum, might be called another name but it dont change what they are.
What about black history month on MTV? when is it white history month?


Also i have also heard the met advertising for an inspector from an ethnic background, never an advert from a white background.

There are definitely schools in Brum that don't have a single white pupil, there was in the 80's when I was at Sharmans Cross in Solihull, and we did exchange day trips with Ladypool in Sparkbrook. Though it wouldn't be true to say that there is any 'official' policy to prevent a white child enrolling. There will be definitely be schools such as those that were on Dispatches last night where a white child would get faced with a barrage of excuses as to why they can't enroll. But would any parent of a white child put them into a school where they were the only white pupil anyway? It's a recipe for an unhappy and bullied kid.

And the nobility in this country didn't have serfs 1500 years ago

And don't forget the Romans... what did the Romans ever do for us eh? Roads, medicine... oh and slaves

No, not at all! They basically said they didn't believe me and if I wanted to discuss it further then they would take me to the station!!
They must've been about to finish their shift.
