Who really gives a shit if a bloke is gay these days? Does it really bother anyone?

If they make a move on you then hey, I can understand, but seriously, if theyre good footballers who cares what their sexual preferences are?

Just play the game.

You dont ever hear anyone going on about someone being straight do you?

Grew up in a large Muslim community and been called a few racist names in my time. Not often, mind, but it happens. I used to walk past a wall on the way to school for years where someone had painted 'WHITE BASTARDS' in 4 foot lettering. There's a park in my old neighbourhood that had the 'no tipping' sign sprayed over with 'no whites'. It doesn't happen to most white people because they're the majority, and even if it did, being a majority gives one a certain comfort and it's not taken seriously. However, once you're in a large neighbourhood where you are the minority, racism can feel a whole lot more menacing, which is why I have constantly tried to explain to many on here who equate it to just another form of name-calling.

Implying that white people shouldn't/can't talk or argue about racism because they're not the victims as often as other ethnicities only plays into the hands of racists who'll take your words and twist them to show you want preferential treatment to everyone apart from them. Principally you're wrong and tactically you just gave the people you're battling an edge.

See what i mean!! i was waiting for that old chesnut. I will now crawl back into my mud hut.

cheers


Its astonishing how many white people on here constantly go on about racism and racist issues.

I doubt ANY of you have ever had any form of racist comment made to you or made to feel a certain way about your race.

Of course its well and good to come onto a forum and talk about it. Keyboard warriors do nothing to help real life issues.

From the 70s to now i have seen all manner of racism and never once seen it directed at a caucasian person yet!

but keep talking it may help but i doubt it very much

You're the one playing into the hands of the racists by implying white people should shut the fuck up, not me.

Well done.

Just for the sake of argument folks. I want you all to imagine you are black. A ridiculous notion I know but just humour me and follow.

Youre all slaves on a plantation in the deep south toiling in the cotton fields burning under the mid day sun

You all take a break and one of your fellow slave says:

"I think we should kill massuh"

The slaves all look aghast at what he just said

"Why? Massuh be good man"

"But if we kill massuh. We be free"

"We kill massuh. We all be dead"

"Yes. Thats true...But either way we all be free. Or we can carry right on being slaves for the rest of our natural lives"



Since this thread has reached a staggering 100 posts. I would like to hear your views on what you would do if you were one of those slaves.

Theres no right or wrong answer to that but your answer would say a lot about you.

I think you know my answer to that. I could give you reasons. Whats yours?

I'm not quite sure why you feel the need to state the bleeding obvious.

What you say is true of 99% of human communication whether it is face to face or on the Internet.

Do you seriously think, people believe that they are "helping real life issues "by posting on the BGAFD O/T forum?

Blimey!

Isn't that what forums are for? Talking about things?


> Keyboard warriors do nothing to help real life
> issues".


And who are these "keyboard warriors"?

Do you count yourself a "keyboard warrior" with your nearly 600 posts? Or OEJ with his 10,000 plus posts?

Are you not "keyboard warriors" also?

Or is it just a convenient term of abuse that applies only to people who you've decided you don't like, or don't agree with, or whose views and opinions differ from yours?
