Shocking racist comments

Escapee · 03-09-2005, 18:40

I went on a date this afternoon, the topic of racism came up in our conversation.

I was quite shocked when she said "I dont trust black people" and "these bad black people dont do it in their own country, cos they wouldn't get away with it" She also told me to never trust a black woman.

I gave her my belief, that we get far too many bad ones come into the country and we dont see a balanced picture. I also said that differences in culture means different morals, and acceptance of what is good and bad.

She mentioned that the going rate for fake UK passports is currently ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£150-ÃƒÆ’Ã¢â‚¬Å¡Ãƒâ€šÃ‚Â£200 from officials in government, and said the numbers are much higher than the government will ever admit.

I thought what terrible things she said, anyone guess the punchline?

She was indeed........ from Zimbabwe.

I had already mentioned that I have been out with a few black africans, including one from Zimbabwe.

So she cut the cr*p and was very straight with me. She admitted a few games her and her friend have been upto themselves.

Is it possible for a person to make a racist comment if they are of the same colour as the people they are commenting about?

Only if you are white

I think the sad thing is that your punchline isn't surprising.

A lot of black on black racism goes unnoticed/unrecognised, simply because certain people don't acknowledge that it can happen. It's no worse than white on black racism, black on Asian racism, or any racism really; the only reason it goes unheeded is that the powers that be are so obsessed with white on black racism that they are blind to any other type.

It is a sad thing, but it is true..

I remember years ago, I went to Barbados on holiday. We were on a beach one day, and suddenly these two Rastas came running by, with the one behind shouting "Oi! Nigger! Stop". I remember thinking I'd be in trouble if I had said that here.

I agree that Racism is not just a white-on-black thing. Look at the Japanese. They are supposedly one of the most racist races on earth, and supposedly consider ANYONE who is not Japanese inferior. Having said that, I have met some very nice Japanese people.

well if its any consolation ive heard some shockingly racist comments from black people, dont trust those white m'fers, they are racist, no white guy likes black/asian people, i try not to put up with it and TELL them its blatant racism but it doesent wash, and that people is why its not always a good thing to have freinds with low immoral standards.

Another astonishing thread. "Slightly tanned"? Nice mod comment too.

I dunno--I'm sure people with darker skins have some choice descriptive words for whites............
I think that the only thing you can rely on in human nature is the ability to polarise and be suspicious of 'otherness'...

**Stuart** · 03-09-2005, 23:28

Further to my previous post (and as I have stated previously), I believe Racism is bad. I do, however, know that racism exists in and between most races.

One thread. Two Pauls. Apologies for confusion.

I work with a guy whos married to a Japanese woman and lived there for a few years. He said they have regular protests carrying banners saying "Go home foreigner" it would result in a charge of inciing racsism in this country. He also said that black people cannot get jobs there, as they are discriminated against.

He gets very annoyed though when I mention the WW2 japanese soldier game of "catch the baby on the bayonet" they played in singapore during the war. I think the japs are a very nasty race, and have changed very little.

I went out with a Jamaican who said "White guys steal cars and black guys sell drugs"
Funny how it seems acceptable when they say it !

the one today mentioned how Jamaicans and Africans dont like one another, neither do Black and Asian people. But we must ignore that because its only the white racists that are a problem.

Ideally all racists should be blacklisted.

Oh hang on - you can't say that.

OK blackball them then.

Oops - no you can't say that either. Now I am getting browned off. SORRY I meant cheesed off.

I should nip this in the bud. SORRY - no disrespect to any orientals - I meant stop.

There must be a chink in the armour of this PC stuff - SORRY again SORRY - no disrespect to any other orientals I meant a locatable and negotiable bypass.

I give up.

Also I meant no offence to any non carniverous, tofu scoffing vegans, veggies , or otherwise undernourished (but who will innevitably rally with I have only eaten 3 beans in 11 years and I am fine) persons when I said cheesed off.

OH no I am going to come accross as a non tolerant bigot soon.

This is all to apparent at school - we have quite a few people from certain races who will try to twist anything you say into racist abuse. Some just try to bring it on themselves.
