All You Fascists

and George?

Committed suicide. See "Timmy"

I thought George was now ... really George. The franchise kind of went of the rails once (s)he reached the post-op stage.

[Clinton Huxley]

Unhappily married. No fairytale endings here.

George was quite curious, and look what it got zir.

My parents unsuccessfully tried to bring me up not racist, but instinct and hatred of the different were stronger.

Are you racist Svartalf?

[Svartalf]

Who knows... I sure feel there are far too many Africans living off our generous social security in this country and not doing anything to get work or even get integrated in society.
Then again I have great affinity with Asian ladies. Far mor than with, say, blacks.

I guess I am to a large extent.

OTOH, I don't vote Front national, I find those folk repulsive.

That's not necessarily racist, particularly if you could applaud and/or be friends with a black person who was a functioning member of your society.

I positively admire the Malian guys who are a major subset of the Paris garbage and cleaning force... those guys do a job I could never do, and do it better than I would.
But it's been a long time that I've not socialized with any of them (since an office where I worked moved and I stopped going to certain bars they too frequented)

Any opportunity at all to post this ...

[Coito ergo sum]

I don't recall my parents being racist but then I grew up in a close to 100% white area so there was no need to be.

If segregation is successful, there is no racism.

[Coito ergo sum]

Told ya.

No no, my bad. The English were never racist. They only became racist when they moved the Americas.

[Coito ergo sum]

One in three Brits admit to being racist -- http://news.onepoll.com/brits-admits-racist/

Never ceases to amaze me when Europeans try to look down on others in this regard, as if European countries are devoid of or relatively devoid of racism. It's just Merka, of course, that has this sort of problem. That coming from the countries that subjugated most of the world under colonial rule, exploited the dark peoples, "brought civilization" to them, carried "White Man's Burden," etc. etc. etc. I mean, come on guys. This one isn't even close. Stop pretending that a continent that in large numbers supported Nazi and fascist parties all across Europe just a few decades ago somehow had all its apples fall miles from the trees.

Are you arguing with yourself again, CES?

I recall calling some big kid a chocolate drop when I was much much younger and I had to hide cos he turned his ugly mug round and threatened to punch me. Doesn't mean I'm racist today and back then it was common practice. My standards are based on civility and good manners rather than skin colour nowadays - doesn't even need to be real, if they can fake civility and good manners well enough they are OK by me.

[Coito ergo sum]

No no. I retract. Anglo-Saxons racist? Never! Germans? Never! French! Perish le thoughtet!

The British Army went to Africa carrying signs that read "No Justice, No Peace" and they refused to make black people sit in the back of the slave ship.

King Leopold's international benevolent committee for the civilization of the peoples of Central Africa was for their own good, so it couldn't have been racist in the least. The Conference of Berlin, which partitioned the "dark continent" among the benevolent European overlords was for the native peoples' own protection, Clinton.

Working conditions among the central Africans were improved under European tutelage. Male rubber tappers and porters were generously given plenty of work. So much largess was heaped upon them, that many died of too much generosity. Wives and children of the men held in safe quarters until they men returned with their quotas. Generously, and in the spirit embodied today by Kim Jong Un, those men who who traitorously refused or failed to supply enough rubber often had to have their villages burned down, children murdered, wives raped and then murdered, and their hands cut off, all in the non-racist mercy of the European caretakers. They'd've cut off the hands, raped and murdered the wives, killed the children and burned down the villages of white Africans too. So, they certainly weren't racist.

The hundreds of thousands killed in the Kenyan emergencies and Mau Mau uprisings against the kindly British, well, at least there was no racism involved.

And as long as Brits grow up in lily-white neighborhoods, there's no reason for there be any racism in the first place! Everything is so clear!

Bless you, CES, you really do try hard.
