Re: Racism Explained
What an excellent explanation of racism because of course racism is basically unfairness to white people. Duh, how stupid are people that they can't see that? Segregation, Jim Crow, slavery, bananas being thrown at footballers, apartheid, sharply higher unemployment rate of black graduates, disparity of income etc etc. All because white people can't say just exactly what's on their mind due to political correctness gone mad. Why can't people see who the real victims are (hint: the ones with most of the money and power)?

Ignoramus. The only remotely funny thing about the cartoon is the certain knowledge that no black person would ever say such a thing. It's only what is in the white person's mind. My wife and daughter both found it offensive too. Are there any other non-whites on here who disagree?

Re: Racism Explained
Can we stop this stupid idea that only those with darker skin colours suffer from racism or prejudice? Certain groups may have had it worse, but it cuts many ways.

My best mate is as White as you can get (blond blue eyes) and one of his best friends is Black; my mate will sometimes call his black friend " whats up my ni$%a or ni#$er, and no one bats an eyelid cause it is the context and motive behind the comment that matters.

Re: Racism Explained
How about "Gora"...the word used for
"Whites" by Indians. It is used all the time.
Now if white people were to call Indians "Darkies".....

Re: Racism Explained
My white friend with ginger hair was the subject of a racist incident by another white man the other night just because of the colour of his hair. The combined party group had to split up to avoid fighting. Fear of the "other" is generally what it's down to. Although lack of intelligence, socialisation and experience drives those fears too.
It didn't help that another white man in the offenders group was being a sexual predator towards the asian women in our group (even though they had asians in their group) using a racial platform as well. It really showed them up for their inadequacies.
