Racist Tram Rant

[TamSV]

Now I don't know where to **** off back to.

Racism has always existed in some form throughout history so it's no modern day phenomenon and will probably exist for many years to come.

It also isn't just unique to whites either ( being the perpetrators) "no whites after 7pm" signs in small heath in brum anyone?

Race riots a few years ago in perry Barr, brum, between Asians and blacks, no whites involved.


My own view is I take people as I find them whatever their colour or race and will no doubt find some to be ok and some to dislike, this doesn't mean I want to be a minority in my street.

People who are all for letting this countries Borders wide open and let's embrace the rest of the world are a bit naive tbh, the incoming masses won't integrate, all they want to do is find their own communities and join them so it's a home from home.
I guarantee, if you were the only Englishman in a street surrounded by another race etc you'd feel uncomfortable and maybe a different attitude towards them, you'd certainly have a dose of racism, towards you not from you.

I 100% am certain we need to close our Borders right now and keep them closed as this small island cannot sustain the unnatural population growth that immigration or migration brings, whatever race they are.
This is not racism, it's simple maths.

I personally don't want this countries identity to be lost and become predominantly Asian or black or polish etc.

Oh well, we are all different I guess, I just hope other races and cultures are as tolerant as us in the future.

I tried that. Lived in Brum from 1997 to 2003. I was even abused once by a Brummie for taking a locals job, which amused me greatly (I'd actually opened a business that didn't previously exist and had created several new jobs).

I don't think closing the borders is practical. Even if it were possible, you end up with daft situations where our universities educate foreign scientists and then, when they're qualified, chuck them out the country.

You can't fault people for wanting to come to this country to better themselves. They have had great opportunities to do so because we have allowed a system of benefits to develop that discourages the local population from taking up unskilled manual work.

I'm not sure, with their 'abbos' and 'wog boys'.

Yes it was offensive, and wrong in my mind. Its not the first time, any of us have heard these things be said before and it wont be the last. See what i find amusing is that people don't take it at face value and see her for what she/they are. That's the trouble these days, yes we have gone soft..... the human race has! We are to busy looking at other people judging etc on there lives or actions. It if has no impact on your life why bother, just get on with making yours a happy place and having fun. Leave the bigots and small minded people to get on with sad lonely lives.
Since the first sea crossing boat was produced, people have come and gone from one country or another. Its not a new thing, its how we became the British empire/commonwealth and for a while ruler of the world pretty much. We as a nation attacked and and stole wealth and what ever else we could get. This is what these bigots are proud of, sounds a little familiar doesn't it? But they are not particularly educated or bright. We need a nation of workers, not idle bums. Natural selection will get them in the end with comments like these.

Phil, I agree it's not just white people who are offenders, and it's inherant for us (humans) to gather in our own 'tribes' and be against others - probably an old hunter gatherer instinct or something.

The problem is that, while her rant mentions recent Polish immigrants, it is mostly a huge bigoted rant based on racism alone.

Racism and immigration are two distinct issues (not denying that there is a link between the two). You can't deny that Britain has brought other races here when it suited us for generations. These people are now British, are part of our culture and it wouldn't be 'Britain' without them. People like this woman tend not to be able to distinguish between the two situations.

I agree our borders are too open, but can't conceive why that would make me rant about all black people or all poles. Maybe I am naive, but a persons colour or origin makes no difference to me (unless I'm chanting at the Ozzies during the Ashes, which I see as acceptable, provided that it's accepted by both sides and truly meant in jest).

Her methods are questionable but she has a right to her opinion.

That's a good post.

Totally agree.

Lozzo, Sorry, didnt mean it to sound like it did, got carried away. What Binky has said is what I should have included..
