Is this racist

I sold a book of Tretchikoff prints - one was called coon - no problems with eBay

OP are you just looking to create a HDT? (Heated Debate Thread)

A quick look at eBay is all it took.

Pardon our interruption...

Or is it not racist and some are just looking for an argument.

The word "Racism" in my opinion should be banned, it's an all to easy go to for injustices between Races. Ultimately I think us "White" people are hung up on it mostly, probably, because our predecessors instigated racism by demeaning a Race as inferior to their own through Slave Labour.

Times have changed for the better and a majority of people are live and let live, but we' will never rid ourselves of the worldly ignorant, unintellectual people on this planet that perceive skin colour as a means of hierarchy.

Too many people still decide superiority by skin colour, place of birth.

Once you can get past the attitude of only the British are the best, the whole world opens up.

You only have to see typical brits abroad and you understand it.

Utter rubbish, the UK is one of the least racist countries in the world.

History does seem to tell us that a topic with racist undertones is more often than not posted by someone who may have racist tendencies themselves...

And at the same time falsely claim others of racism when it doesn't exist...

So nothing new

Uk is 1 of the most arrogant countries, certainly in Europe.

We, as a nation, have a siege mentality. Once you get past that, other people are much more open and welcoming.

And if you don't see racism everyday, ask diyfun what he sees.

You've certainly got me heated. Read the bloody thing and you will see it's a genuine enquiry. I had already made enquiries elsewhere to see if it did or didn't meet with current acceptance of what is or is not acceptable. Sounds like you are a bit of a sh/stir###

It's not just about skin colour.
This is as equally racist as any other comment about skin colour:

Maybe, but if we pick a side it should always be The Israelis. Never support anyone from THAT religion (R.O.P.).

 

[Mrs Ten Names]

I don't think so. Himmy has only made one post, the contents of which are mercifully invisible to me. Perhaps he's still lying down in his dark room before the onslaught of never ending woke drivel posts.

And you've made one that meets the definition of racist:

Maybe, but if we pick a side it should always be The Israelis. Never support anyone from THAT religion (R.O.P.).

You always exploit every opportunity to promote your disgusting racism, even exploiting the murder of little girls, using disinformation to incite violence:

This forum must have an unrepresentative sample then, judging by the people on here that hate foreigners, Muslims, Arabs……

A handful of people on this forum can hardly represent the UK as a whole.

The 5 biggest countries in the World, for a start, are far worse than we are....Russia/China/India/Africa/USA.

Based on your personal experiences?

“The racist violence we are now seeing on our streets has been preceded by an intense period of scapegoating refugees and migrants by politicians and others – in dangerous rhetoric and policy. I hope those who spread that rhetoric look on the consequences of their words and learn.

UK: Government must address 'root cause of racism that plagues our society'

In response toâ¯recentâ¯racist attacks and other violent disorderâ¯across the UK, Sacha Deshmukh, Amnesty International UKâs Chief Executive, said: âThe widespread violence and hate crimesâ¯weâveâ¯witnessedâ¯overâ¯the last few daysâ¯areâ¯utterly unacceptable. âItâs disgusting toâ¯seeâ¯hotels...

Gradually, the politics of race and immigration became intertwined with one another to the extent that during the period 1950-1981, every single piece of immigration or citizenship legislation was designed at least in part to reduce the number of people with black or brown skin who were permitted to live and work in the UK. The complex history of the British Empire explains why race and racism as political and social issues developed as they did in the UK; the actions of postwar governments explain the state of play in the twenty-first century – of which the deep-rooted racism of the Windrush Scandal is a symptom.
