SUBCONSCIOUS RACISM / DISCRIMINATION

positron

stick to the black side - the white hoodies could be disgraced bankers, jobless estate agents etc - before you know they would have you sign up for a new mortgage or something..!

I'll have you know that my useless two cents is worth at least twenty of your useless cents.

reading all of the comments here on this thread just makes me think that probably most of you do not even know black people or want to know them.. and what you dont know, you will ridicule..
funny how years ago many irish were ridiculed like this as well and seen as nothing.. no dogs, no irish, no blacks..
the ignorance and blatent racist remarks on this thread are ridiculous! this has nothing to do with being pc, but with just seeing past someone's colour. sure i believe that nowadays people are more scared to make remarks, but when remarks are made with no intention to hurt or without knowledge, it can be overcome.
seriously tell me where do you find black kids with hoodies hanging on IRISH streetcorners to mug you?? any kids hanging on streetcorners over here and causing problems are white.

You won't but people are ignorant/and or stupid. Personally I'd love someone to get beaten to a pulp for going down the side of the road with white lads if they were faced with one side white teens in hoodies and other black teens in hoodies. its hypothetical question because even me from probably the only true 'multi ethnic' part of ireland never sees a congregation of black teens in hoodies. black teenagers yes but scumbag congregation like we see of the more 'native' scumbag no.

The OP didn't mention Ireland though.

I'd walk straight up to the black guys and say 'see those white boys over there, they said they like giving it to your mommas, in the ass'

and then I'd grab a few beers and find a wall to sit on while the fun starts

You'd love to see someone get beaten to a pulp? For walking down the street?

Er....right...(or left??)

Personally I'd prefer they didn't get beaten to a pulp, regardless of the side of the road they chose.

I.. got off a bus once because a man with North African features was sitting at the back of a number 7 bus with a duffel bag, fiddling with it all the way into town. The unease was stuck in my throat like a steel gobstopper.

Hard to think how I couldn't rationalise the situation, but it got the better of me.

I've stopped watching Sky News, not as bad as I was then..
