Homes for the "asian community"

See http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/m...er/5213588.stm

A housing association in Oldham (Methodist housing)
has just finished building a nice selection of energy efficient homes
in Oldham which have "up to seven bedrooms" and are for the "asian
community". A news feature showed an Asian single mother with four
kids enjoying her new home,complete with solar panels and all mod
cons.
A few points spring to mind;

(1) The popular myth is that single mothers only exist amongst our own
white trash

(2) Why is it that everyone else has a "community" and "community leaders"
but the indigenous population don't?. I use the term indigenous merely as a point of reference and i appreciate that there are also non whites and whites of other ethnic backgrounds who are indigenous

(c)If a white single mother from Oldham was given a nice new seven bed
home she would be on the front page of the Daily Mail and all the red
tops being slagged off so why not in this case?

'for the asian community' sounds pretty racist to me.

Oh no no no no no....only white English people can be racist. This is what the system calls-positive descrimination.

I'll put my cards on the table before I am branded a racist. I am white urban male,of Irish roots. I was the product of a broken home,have worked all my life,never been in trouble with the police or anyone else. I do not support any political party. At the last general election i voted for the BNP becuase they are a legitimate political party and have a right to exist AND because i couldn't vote for any of the other parties.

Iwould never,ever even consider acting in a negative manner or otherwise descriminating against or abusing anyone becuase of their race,sexuality or whatever. I'm too intelligent and well mannered to behave in such a manner. I believe that all are equal and all should be treated equally.

Out of interest, why couldn't you vote for the other parties - was there no-one else standing, or was it that you wouldn't vote for the others?

Seriously, do go along to the BNP website and actually READ their policies. That is something that a lot of people fail to do. They just repeat what they hear, see or read. Oh and by the way, you dont have to agree with ALL the policies of a particular party to vote for them. In the past I voted for Thatcher too.

Re: Homes for the "asian community"

First of all the story is that the houses have been designed for the asian community in the area.

They are replacing extisting housing that was demolished.

Quote:
They were built after redundant one and two-bedroom flats on the street were demolished.
also

Quote:
All of the 18 homes occupied by Asian families were made available to the wider community.
I do not see any positive descrimination. Again this subtext that has been applied. I love how everyone always says "how come no mentions this?" its mentioned all the time. You cant move a inch without hearing about another "example" of discrimantion against whites.

Since the election one of the BNP counciller failed to vote for his own policy because he didnt know how too. Another one has not turned up to a council meeting.

The BNP are racist, the BBC even had a tape of a BNP meeting where the speaker was, to loud approval, telling africans to go back to africa. Also the guy who said to sky news that black people have never achived anything

What parts of those are not racist? And dont tell me the media twisted it. The council keep records and the video was clearly in context, where as the last guy actually said it to sky news when being interviewed.

Also the media mays be bias but the BNP site is hardly gonna be impartial is it?

Well, when reports like this come to light, its hard to blame people who think the BNP is the only escape from this.

I've never voted BNP (see my signature which has remained fair consistent for.. oooh... 3 years give or take) However, if I am being forced to become a second class citizen in my own country I will take action.

I'd either:

1) Move out... something my family have done, and has rewarded them handsomely.

2) Support the party who I think will redress the balance and make sure I (i.e. white male 18-65) am treated fairly and equivilently with other ethic groups.

Re: Homes for the "asian community"

Our local news prog in London ran a story yesterday about the overcrowding that asian families have to endure in council accommodation here. They showed how children were sharing bedrooms and beds. It occurred to me that perhaps they should limit the number of kids they are having if they don't have the space for them rather than bleat at the council about lack of space.....am I wrong?

Yes because everyone who voices opinion against the BNP must be misinformed at this honest party?

You forgot to add:

-All other mainstream newspapers (not the BNP publications obviously, but then they said the holocaust never happened, so they not too up on current events)

-BBC, ITV, SKY, Channel 4

I'm not going to argue with you on this point Rammy, 'cos, technically, you've got a good point. However, what if the roles were reversed somewhat, and this situation was applied to the Catholic community? If I remember rightly (and please correct me if I'm wrong ), contraception is still banned by the Catholic church, so there are families out there with just as many kids as one of these stereotypical Asian families

The houses in that story were replacing existing ones in the community. Also they were still made avaibile to everyone else.

---------- Post added at 12:26 ---------- Previous post was at 12:24 ----------

Also, it looks like they are not council houses (i.e not free)

Well there are a number of issues. I like to think i am a free thinker. I don't buy a daily paper, i watch very little television because most of it actually pulps your brain and prevents you from functioning as a human being. I do watch some stuff but i filter out the crap and discard it. I like to read for myself, seek out knowledge, hear other voices and opinions. I even listen to foreign radio stations on short wave-hows that for a bit of nostalgia? To hear the news straight from the horses' mouth in the country of origin-not the filtered version. There is so much going on in the world that we don;t even know about.

I resent the way that our voices, our opinions and our votes are taken for granted. At the last general election i saw no Labour candidate. Why? becuase they were the majority in my area and therefore didnt need to speak to anyone. I did see the Con candidate-why? becuase he was seeking power. Have you ever tried communicating with your MP or anyone in Government? they dont want to know,they dont reply,they are not answerable,they often don;t even have common courtesy to acknowledge your existance.

Blairs brigade-well i have a few problems with them, the acts of terorism that they have aided Bush to comit in Iraq, its shambolic immigration controls policy,the corruption in general of the Government, the arrogance and behaviour of Prescott,the stealth taxes,the farce that is the NHS,I could go on. Who in all seriousness could vote for them? The only choice is to ram a party such as the BNP to the fore to act as a wake up call to these idiots who treat us with such disdain. Of course there are some BNP policies which i agree with, there may be others i dont agree with.

If this was catholic families we were talking about my opinion would be the same.....If you can't afford to have that many children then don't have them.....imo.
