Kicking Off in Paris Again

[MicrosoftBob]

You're becoming a fairly obvious idiot.

Better than being a racist

[MrMarkyMark]

Well I'm white, and I find the term 'brown people' extremely offensive.

WGAF, what you think.

Have you ever faced any racism, yourself?
Obviously, given my personal situation, I have, so, I suggest you keep it buttoned.

[LucidDementia]

So you're a grammar nazi and a racist

I'm an educated man with a firm grasp of my native tongue and a love for all mankind. As I believe deeply in individual freedoms I will, if needs be, publicly defend your right to call me what I clearly am not.

So go you.

Why wasn't there a 25 page thread about this massacre: Kenya attack: 147 dead in Garissa University assault - BBC News ?

[LucidDementia]

Why?

You have just called yourself "white" and yet calling someone else "brown" is offensive to you. You don't see why this is idiotic in the extreme?
If you can't grasp that I doubt I can help you.

My other half calls herself brown, nothing offensive about it - she's Jamaican.
Fed up with people, on here, dropping the racist card all the time, its very tedious.

There is so much Daily Mail type rubbish written on this thread, its untrue.
Its far more interesting to talk to Muslims, I know, about this, it provides a far more balanced view.

The west has always supported various factions, over the years, for its own aims, no one can deny that. Unfortunately, these "social experiments" don't always work the way they wished.

There are official, copies, of US documents, that describe the past support for Al Qaeda and the US strategies and reasoning, for the support, at the time, Al Qaeda then morphed into ISIS.

Its a bit disingenuous to lump ISIS them all under 1 banner, they are actually different ideological factions, within, what we call ISIS.
To be fair, this was alluded to earlier.

Funded by the Saudis, buying our weapons, which they then use against us.

I agree, its not our fault, however, it is the fault of the people we have chosen to lead us.

Watch the snoopers charter, go through, now, in fact they will probably initiate something similar, in the US, if they think they can get away with it.

This is probably closer to a reasoned argument of attributing some level of blame to the West - not that we bomb them ourselves, but that our governments sell arms to everybody in the region.

Why do I need to have suffered a racial attack in order to take offence?

Have I suffered racial abuse? No. Have I stepped in when I witnessed it happening to someone else? Yes.

I wonder if it's because the western populace have been brainwashed to believe that western lives matter and the rest don't?

So what? are you saying that people are not responsible for their own actions?

I never asked for your help.
