So far from me "needing help" I am doing my best, without any realistic prospect of success, to help you. Of course prejudice exists everywhere. I make no excuses for any of it, even if I understand some better than others. However, we need to deal with those things we are personally able to deal with. So if you are prejudiced do something about it. That's the way to make a difference. 1 yet your posts come across as 'I am right you are wrong"

Who are "we" here? Have you been appointed as a spokesperson? I rather suspect that position has been taken. That you manage to translate me being sarcastic into an insult is rather revealing. If my skin was that thin I would not have any left.

'The white liberal is the worst enemy to America, and the worst enemy to the black man.' (Malcolm X) Edited by Stirlingsays (15 Jan 2021 9.30pm) Strange to see you quoting Malcolm X! He said a lot of things and as with most people some are wise in their time and daft later. That is in the latter category. I did though find another that would be useful for you to consider:- “I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it is for or against. I'm a human being, first and foremost, and as such I'm for whoever and whatever benefits humanity as a whole.” and one that I ought to ponder:- “Don't be in a hurry to condemn because he doesn't do what you do or think as you think or as fast. There was a time when you didn't know what you know today.”

"Why is the head of the snake white"

I fail to see why you would consider it strange for me to quote Malcolm X. Malcolm X was a highly intelligent separatist who represented his community. He said plenty of anti white comments like celebrating a plane crash with all white fatalities. Still, when it came to logic he held his own. He was certainly correct in appraising the threats against his community and when you look at what's become of them in the US he was prophetic.

If my skin was that thin I would not have any left. Not responding to you anymore, waste of time as you only see your side of the debate, never accept that anyone other than yourself could possibly be correct or have an opinion that matters.....you stay in your white middle class existence in probably the least diverse county in the UK, enjoy the scenery, but for now, Im out of your one sided biased debates..talking to you is like talking to porridge..theres an insult just for you!!!

Not responding to you anymore, For that I, and I expect most others on here, are extremely relieved. talking to you is like talking to porridge. Nah. Porridge is stiff, starchy and difficult to stir! I am much more like cornflakes. Crisp, bright and ready to serve. Coming back to Cornwall very soon..... An unwise and potentially illegal move. Police patrols looking for rogue interlopers from Devon trying to escape their poor understanding of how to serve cream teas and steal our pasties are particularly thick on the ground in Blackwater. Seriously though we all need to follow the rules and stay at home if we are going to beat this. Those who think they know better, or that they are entitled to get away with things, need to think again and start behaving responsibly.

So far from me "needing help" I am doing my best, without any realistic prospect of success, to help you. I have no more sympathy for people celebrating their "blackness" than I do for people bleating about "whiteness". I want it all to stop and people to talk about culture and not simply skin colour. Of course prejudice exists everywhere. I make no excuses for any of it, even if I understand some better than others. However, we need to deal with those things we are personally able to deal with. So if you are prejudiced do something about it. That's the way to make a difference. Well thank you so much for trying to help me. Those of a politically ambitious persuasion prefer to keep these subjects simple. Skin colour is both suitably divisive and free from nuance. They don't like the messy and sometimes uncomfortable details getting in the way.
