Some footballers receive abusive messages on social media and cause headlines while other people are lauded for their divisive efforts.

Some Palace supporters receive abusive messages on the Hol which don't make headlines and also get accused of divisiveness.

It's life! All we can do is try to improve it.

I’m not talking about the HOL but a film director who’s had Oscar, BAFTA, Golden Globe and Emmy nominations, and wins, for his work.

Are you of the belief that following a crime the highlighting of the colour of the perpetrators(s) whether white or black or brown or yellow wouldnt help eliminate a huge part of the population and aid the catching of said individuals?
Are you really saying that, I mean really?
Just to tick a box!

How the Police work is different to the way society as a whole, and especially the media, do.

They may well use descriptive language that could be considered offensive in another context if it helps solve crime.

You cannot use one specific need to justify a general use.

That it is widespread and normal is understood.

My argument is not that. It is whether it should be and if it helps things, or makes them worse.

Watch a couple of his “joints” and decide for yourself.

I'm not surprised that the liar doesn't want to comment on the links I provided on anti white propaganda as it blows his lies or delusions...whichever it is out of the water.

Anti white media is mainstream and supported by corporations and institutions.

It is the only ethnicity that it's ok to attack.

Why am I not surprised that this, very tediously, again tries to divert attention away from your own mistakes? Whose tactic does that remind you of?

My previous post just pointed out that my comments did not refer to that which you claimed they did. That though is ignored and we get another diatribe of personal insults.

The truth is I did comment on them. I called them weird, for that's what they are. To claim one person's rather odd piece of research proves anything isn't going to convince anyone who isn't already convinced.

I really don't get the point you are trying to make, in the context of my own.

That some people make movies about perceived racial inequalities may be true but it isn't the point I am making. Nor, by the way, does it mean there is any "anti-white" propaganda. It just means some people make movies about perceived racial inequalities.

That's not being divisive! It's pointing out divisions and hoping that to get them recognised will lead, eventually, to healing.

As I say, watch a couple of his films and see if you think he’s trying to heal anything. The point is that at either end of the spectrum some people can receive an Oscar for sharing their viewpoint while others lose their jobs.

All you are doing here is continuing the problem.

Even if, for argument's sake, what you suggest is correct why lump everyone with darker skin than you into a negative classification? If a group of people are responsible then use terms that accurately describe them. It would still be stereotyping but more specific stereotyping. Using blanket terms like "black" and "white" just add to the problems and do nothing to solve them. So why use them?


Unfortunately, changing terminology does not alter reality.

Do Indians experience the same negativity as Albanians?

Inevitably, minorities are more likely to focus on their identity, be it colour, nationality or religion. For some reason, some of them come to a country where they are a minority and then seem surprised when they are treated like one. This evokes a defensive posture in many against the existing majority.
Some groups have a terrible record of criminality and then wonder why they are stereotyped.
Some have a poor attitude to work and authority and wonder why no one wants to employ them.

Certainly labelling is not helpful, but stereotypes do not get invented from nothing. They usually have a basis in fact. Unfortunately, those who do not exhibit these negative stereotypical traits suffer prejudice along with the others.

One can pay lip service to irradiating these attitudes but all the time people are people and have their own interests to protect, they will continue to exist.

Stereotyping is not just about colour or clothing.
It's about seeing me, of the larger category as a potential future burden on the health service. Mentioned enough on here. Is that not the same, I mean surely its profiling against fatties. Can i be as offended as a black guy who is racially profiled.

With all due respect whilst that might be true it has nothing to do with my point.
