if they want real help bend over and let whites rule, call me racist but blacks always f*ck it up. You just have to look at South Africa. Mandela hailed a hero but since he took ovr crime up economy down etc etc.

I don't know why but I can't stop laughing. Maybe you could get some T Shirts made up.
It's so out there that it stops being offensive.
Well done Prince Philip
(I presume that is you Phil?)

What a disgraceful thing to say.



Quite right.Disgraceful to suggest that a member of our "ruling family" could be understood to have ever expressed ignorant inappropriate racist-like thoughts:

1. To black politician Lord Taylor of Warwick (born in Birmingham), 1999: “And what exotic part of the world do you come from?”
2. To a British trekker in Papua New Guinea, 1998: “You managed not to get eaten then?”
3. To Atul Patel at reception for influential Indians, 2009: “There’s a lot of your family in tonight.”
4. Peering at a fuse box in a Scottish factory, he said: “It looks as though it was put in by an Indian.” He later backtracked: “I meant to say cowboys.”
5. To a British student in China, 1986: “If you stay here much longer, you’ll go home with slitty eyes.”

How utterly horrendous all that is!......Man oh man.

For one this is media reporting and for two any twit knows that Phillip just jokes around. There isn't anything malicious that I can see in those jokes.

It's only the lefty professionally offended who get on their high horse about it.

And being "disgusted"as you were at a suggestion Philip is a racist is an entirely appropriate and proportionate response?

I get it now.Nothing wrong with "horsing around" with a bit of casual racist banter,eh?.Only a stupid leftie could possibly find it inappropriate in such a high profile public figure(not that you pigeon hole people) and black/asian people would find it amusing.Bring back the days of Empire and The Black and White Minstrel Show asap.

Why on earth didn't we have a harmless laugh and chant at Suk-Young today for being a dirty "slitty-eyed" so and so when he fouled Wilf. After all,its only harmless a harmless laugh,isn't it Stirling and the player would have found it as appropriate and amusing as everyone else.No doubt Wilf is always up for a laugh with a bit of "harmless" racist banter too

You just have to look at places like Zimbabwe.

When it was colonial Rhodesia it prospered by exporting copper and had a great railway system.

Now the railway is fcuked both financially and physically and only survives on handouts from China (in return for the major slice of the copper no doubt).

It may have been un PC by the poster to suggest "blacks" always fcuk up... but the state of Africa kind of backs this statement up unfortunately... corruption, greed, incompetence.....


Um Hoof,two points (only two because the proposition that black people screw up as a result of being black whereas white people don't since they are white,advanced on his thread,is too too insane to get further engaged with).

1.The copper was/is in the British colony of Northern Rhodesia now known as Zambia,as opposed to the British territory of Southern Rhodesia now known as Zimbabwe,so at least try to have a basic grasp of facts if you are going to advance an argument tending towards a proposition of inherent racial inferiority.

2.Take a look at places like Moldova,Uzbekistan. Note the health of the economies,their corruption etc,the extent to which their rulers f-up. and then take a look at the colour of the skin of the people that rule in those states.Poverty,corruption and repression do not stem from skin colour/race.The logic of your proposition is that we shouldn't vote for black politicians here due to inherent racial lesser ability to "govern" than those of a superior at governing white race.We are indeed headed back to the dark ages (no pun intended).

Zambia/Zimbabwe........ North/South Rhodesia....

Makes little difference - it was an example of a major fcuk up that wouldn't have occurred under colonial rule.

I don't think all black people are inferior but in Africa there are a lot of greedy/corrupt/incompetent people (who just happen to be black) now running most countries and sadly running them into the ground.

The worst of the lot is Mugabe.

As for your last point I'd rather vote for that Chukka fella than Balls/Miliband or Prescott.

But he's had the benefit of our education system.

Blimey Eagles.

The 'jollying along' is as far as it goes.....No one is compelled to do spit and no one I've ever met via a charity would ever agree with anything else...Charity runs on its helper's goodwill by definition.....You are bending things a bit to suggest that this is bullying.....A bit like those that say a tap on the shoulder is assault.

You using old quotes from people like Blake, who isn't talking about charity shows....is a bit off....Shall we include 'taxation' for the NHS or education as the 'general good'. Na...I don't think you can use that quote to fairly make your point.


As for using quotes from religious books....Well that lot do little else by genuinely 'bully' people into behaviour or else some horrid consequence will happen to them. That's like using a bully to complain that charity shows are bullying.

As I say, the practical result of your view point would be that those in need would have less....More death more suffering.

Nope....It doesn't look like we are going to agree here. Like I say your moaning is the belly aching of the priviliaged.


CEO's salaries.....

Save the Children £163K; British Red Cross £184K; Christian Aid £126K; Oxfam £119K...... bloody expensive all this 'goodwill' isn't it ....

NO black people are 'inferior'. Jesus Christ. A person's value can never be reduced to their racial status and it's not 'PC' to make such a claim.

Yup,makes little difference.They all look the same anyway,don't they, so no need to actually know the difference between one country and another.

You are right,"we" didn't f-up under colonial rule in Central and Southern Africa at all.Everything ran perfectly for the rulers and we did very nicely indeed out of it and made a mint and lived in the lap of luxury there,while they "served" us.Don't you worry about the majority in Northern and Southern Rhodesia,whose lot was somewhat worse then than now. Read up about it sometime. Who needed corruption to obtain access to wealth and power when we just lorded it and pretty much banned access to it for them full stop?

Mugabe? He had a Marist and Jesuit school education. He has Bachelors and Masters degrees awarded by the University of London (you get lots of time to study when you are sent to prison for years for being so uncivilised as to call for "one man,one vote" (an example of our greatness in instilling democratic values when "we" ruled your "paradise" of Southern Rhodesia).Interesting, seeing as you think Black people might actually be capable of ruling provided they receive"our education".

A dodgy tyrant is a dodgy tyrant/potential tyrant whether its the current white skinned dictator in Belarus,the President of Zimbabwe,the unarguably white skinned Vladimir Putin or our late lamented Sir Oswald Mosley,with his impeccable good old "white" public school education.Race is irrelevant.

Do you think they are better off now legal?

There seems to be more poverty, more in-fighting, more famine etc to me.

I don't disagree that GB benefitted immensely from the colonies, but there was order rather than chaos.

I don't disagree that GB benefitted immensely from the colonies, but there was order rather than chaos.

Hoof,for what its worth my MA research was into the Central African Federation in the 1950's,which was comprised of Northern Rhodesia,Southern Rhodesia and Nyasaland (now Malawi). The lot of the average person was sh1t. IMO they were somewhat worse off than now and there weren't tv crews then filming a lot reporting things or the internet so it was a pretty isolated part of the world.When push came to shove back in Whitehall the "interests"of the settler always trumped those of the locals,including economically.

There was "order" for the rulers and an appearance of order overall looking from outside since it appeared that way to many here. On the ground,the locals were basically in general terms exploited and shafted something rotten,so "we" set a good example for people to follow...For a local on the ground,I suspect life was viewed as tending more towards the "chaos" end of the spectrum than the "order" end.

I'm being simplistic I know,but life can seem very ordered when the Master and Mistress know their place,as do the cook,maids,houseboys and gardner, especially when there's an iron fist available to back up the velvet glove any time anyone steps out of place and built in legal discrimination to make sure the locals don't get too uppity.Bit like feudalism was here and the deep South in the USA. Lots of poverty in the Southern USA today,but would many say they were better off then...
