Yay she's gone. Who next?

Racism is not the preserve of so called white people. There are plenty of racists who aren't "white". Discrimination and prejudice is a human condition. Fear of the different is part of our survival instinct. It takes effort to over come it, no matter what "colour" you are.

Utter nonsense, we're not born racist, nor prejudiced. We're taught to be racist and bigoted.
There is no innate fear of "the different", that's just a typical excuse for racism.
If it were true that fear of the unknown is a natural fear, why are children drawn to investigate something new. It's simply experience that teaches a person to fear the unknown, coupled with the warning/teaching of our peers. Some of that teaching of our parents and peers is pure bigotry, and is overcome with education.

There are people from minority groups that disagree with that minority group's 'group thinking'. That's normal. For instance there's probably disabled people who would argue that disabled people do not deserve special access, etc, or gay people who argue that homosexuality is sinful.
No I don't have any specific examples, but it was well documented that slavery was assisted by black people who valued their own comfort and wealth above equality, etc.
Those 'black' people that demonstrate something called racism are not racists, they are simply placing a higher priority on their own comfort and wealth above equality. If they were racists they would have to accept that they are inferior to white people.

Plenty of academic research on the subject. Google will help you, I can't be bothered.

And your posts are perfect example - Your brain is hard wired to jump on anything, from a poster you have categorised as having opinion you disagree with. It's almost an amygdala response.

Of course you can't be bothered... to prove yourself wrong.

And your posts are perfect examples of pathetic excuses for racism. You can't help yourself, you feel the need to excuse bigotry.

Humans are born with two fears, the fear of loud noises and the fear of falling. When an infant hears a loud and unexpected noise, the infant generally experiences an acoustic startle reflex and starts crying.
Fears can be both innate and learned. Innate fears exist from birth, and they are evolutionarily adaptive, which could serve to help the survival of infants. Learned fears are based on stimuli that a child is exposed to later in life and how the culture around the child views the stimulus.

The bit in bold is pretty much what I said.

Here's more:

We are born with only two innate fears: the fear of falling and the fear of loud sounds.
Most fear is learned. Spiders, snakes, the dark – these are called natural fears, developed at a young age, influenced by our environment and culture. So a young child isn’t automatically scared of spiders, but builds on cues from his parents.

wow! that is some nutty thinking.

In a sense maybe but racism does exist between coloured people. Not just religion aspects but also origin.

Let me clarify and qualify what I said, and thank you for the opportunity to do so, black people are not necessarily being racist against other black people because they cooperate and agree with white racism against black people. They are simply complying and being complicit with the white racists for their own comfort and wealth, and maybe their own safety.
For those black people to be racist against other black people, along the same racist thinking as white people, they would have to accept the 'superiority theory' of white people, and they're hardly likely to accept that.
So it's purely a complicity behaviour with the dominant white racism that induces black people to display so called 'racist tendencies' against other black people.

But for sure all ethnicities can display xenophobia and bigotry to other ethnicities.

Had it occurred to you that "black" people could be racist agains "white", "yellow" or "brown" people. e.g.

Indian person - I only want an Indian builder, because all the white builders are lazy and I know an Indian will work harder for me.

Why not?

I thought we were doing well under Boris, and he was his chancellor ?

Or are we saying Boris got it wrong, or Sunak ? Or Truss? Or all of them ?

Sunak is some globalist puppet. No way.

 

[ajohn]

Back on topic. It seems no one has officially declared that they want to be PM. Trying to find 100+ backers first.

Looks like 3 tyros with misc.... thoughts plus Boris and Sunak. It seems Truss wanted to open up immigration to allow growth - explains a recent action. Penny campaigned in much the same as Truss with touches of there will always be an england for older people. The other one pass.

All pundit guesses of course.

Mogg surprise, surprise is for Boris. He was arguing the case for more financial easing not long ago. Another that pundits thought would declare says he's leaning towards Boris as he has a mandate. LOL Not much of it left to do really and showing results for the remaining parts are rather likely to be tricky. TBH I suspect they think his style may get them another election or at least help.

Did you read my post, posted about 35 minutes before yours, where I qualified and clarified my comment?
Here is the important bit again:

But for sure all ethnicities can display xenophobia and bigotry to other ethnicities.

My initial comment was referring to black behaviour, supposedly racist, towards other black people.
That is not racism, it's adopting the behaviour of white people for their own personal interests. It cannot be racism because they would have to accept the 'superior race mentality' of the white racists.

so is Boris Johnson
so is Truss
so is Penny Mordaunt
so are all those Tufton street Ghouls
so are all those lobby groups masquerading as think tanks

 

[ajohn]

They all have to consider glabalists as these days that is how the west in particular runs - oops. However without it there would be another oops. What you can buy figures in that.

Anyway Penny aka Truss has nominated herself seems she has considerable political experience and will leave Hunt in place. Trying to pull a double whammy. It appears Hunt upsets none of them - not too much anyway but has ideas very similar to Truss - just more sense when forced on him.

Forgot seems this month needed £20b dept, bit of a record.

You swerved a bit.

Were we doing well under Boris ?

Bit more succinct aj. They know where their bread is buttered.
