Blacklisted is Blacklisted

IMHO a lot of this nonsense comes not from minorities being offended,
but some white people fiding things what they may be offended about- then the 'Daily MAil' type backlash to this fuelling it.

Examples of these in slightly different context -

Christmas being offensive (Not offending anyone in truth)
The swimming pool that had to be blacked out so muslim women could swim there and everyon had to swimin the dark (in truth, all women asked ground floor level windows to be frosted or darkened )
St George's flags being banned from taxis when the footie is on (in truth all flags or similar on sticks /window clip things deemed to be dangerous)

Of course some terms and words are offensive, but surely we have enouhg of these to eliminate before looking for new ones.

Good job I use a whiteboard when coaching........

Absolutely correct, as a minority I find it embarrasing when I have to sit through new HR initiative regarding racial awareness.

What it proves is that our couuntry has its share of numpties, irregardless of background.

The context is important and without it , the onlyreaction can be a kneejerk one.

I read this -


"Firstly, the two men sentenced for 12 months not only defaced a mosque but additionally put a brick through a window of an Asian run business and spray painted two other properties ran by Asians, and by the defendents own admission their actions were racially motivated and planned in advance - this in contrast to Tohseef Shah who`s actions were deemed to be political. Racially motivated crimes often receive heftier sentences and despite, for example, Emdadur Choudhurys crime of poppy burning being more controversial, strictly in the eyes of the law, the two men from Durham committed a more heinous crime.

Sentencing is based on many different factors, especially including the severity of the crime and the judge handing the sentence and of course there will be what many percieve to be lighter sentences and heavier sentences given for what appear to be similar crimes of similar severity. However if you think that lighter sentences seem to be reserved for people who are of Asian descent you would be wrong, because a message like this will duly omit the numerous accounts of racial hatred aimed towards Muslims that have not been met with a custodial sentence, such as the case of Wayne Havercroft who was only fined for leaving a pigs head outside a proposed location for a mosque and a spray painted sign saying "No Mosque here. EDL" - or the Sunderland man who was only fined for spray painting a mosque.

This message has picked three - albeit true - stories because they fit the overall meaning the message attempts to convey - hatred towards what the message creator believes to be a racially corrupt/soft justice system. Whilst one could reasonally argue that the two men from Durham did receive a significantly harsher sentence than both the men in the other two stories, it should be noted that these are just three stories and does not necessarily accurately reflect the way the British justice system convicts people of differing faiths.

Of course we invite all of our readers to come to their own conclusions but they should do it with all the facts and not the limited information contained in this message. Circulating this message however is not advised, because it is essentially racial propoganda which can potentially cause hatred and isolation towards ethnic minorities"

Exceptions never prove rule however there are many out there with an agenda that will raise these exceptions and "imply" that they are the rule based on race.
