Reply to: Is it o.k to be Prejudiced \ Racist today

[EternalOptimist]

ok Alf, you asked for it

I feel like a *** people giving me the eyes
But I was born here just like you
I feel like a ***
Got all the dirt tulipty jobs
But everybody's got to have something to do with their time

I feel like a ***
I don't wanna go home
I've got a lot of life to run through
I feel like a ***
I don't mean you no harm
Just don't ask me to shine your shoes

Golly gee: Golly gosh
Don't call me your Golly ***
Golly gee: Golly gosh
Don't call me your Golly ***

Let me tell you about Pimpo
We met him down at the After Eight
He wanted to sell us some limbo
But we said mister
You've just got to wait
You've got to wait (x3)

He wanted to take us down to Sao Paulo
But we said mister
We ain't got no bread
I tried to make him laugh
But he didnt get the joke
And then he said I wasnt right in the head
And then he made me (x3)
And then he made me feel
And then he made me feel like (x3)
You know I feel like (x3)
You know I feel like a ***

Nope - the opposite is true, I'm asking a genuine question, and am genuinely interested in an answer.

Feel free to openly say what you mean. If I was in the business of 'stirring up' I'd use a different name. What you see is what you get . . .

My money's on a couple of days before the chip gets too heavy and he brings ups the *hush* BNP

As some warn victory, some downfall
Private reasons great or small

Can be seen in the eyes of those that call
To make all that should be killed to crawl

While others say don't hate nothing at all
Except hatred.

Disillusioned words like bullets bark
As human gods aim for their mark

Made everything from cartoon of the Prophet
To flesh-colored Christs that glow in the dark

It's easy to see without looking too far

That not much
Is really sacred.

[AlfredJPruffock]

While one who sings with his tongue on fire
Gargles in the rat race choir

Bent out of shape from society's pliers
Cares not to come up any higher

But rather get you down in the hole

That he's in

[el duder]

errr...

I'm not saying that anyone is or isn't racist - I don't want to get drawn into the whole 'what is racism' debate.

But is it more acceptable to express a prejudiced \ racist viewpoint these days?

Discuss. . . . .

yeah of course it is acceptable, just raw a few cartoons and see what happens...

******* idiot!

You hate the topic so much that you created a Thread about it.

Are you sure you're not trying to stir something up that doesn't exist on this forum? Something that is causing problems on another forum by any chance?

No, but it does with prejudice, which is also what the thread originator asked.

Yep.
Just simply being against any bloody stupid intollerant religion, and being open with it, doesn't necessarily mean I'm any prejudiced??

[Churchill]

absolutely none - actually I hate the topic, but look around you . . . . .

What about John Lennon - Woman is the ****** of the World.

Sexist and racist in one song title.

Dr Evil, what's the fascination in this topic?

When I was a young lad one of my favorite songs was by the Stranglers 'I feel like a ***'

you couldnt get away with it these days

What about John Lennon - "Woman is the N*gg*r of the World."

Correct . . . I also said I don't want to get into defining Racism, hence the addition of the word prejudice. . . . .

[Dr Evil]

What do you define as "these days"? There is clearly less casual racism than, say, 50 years ago but maybe there is more anti-Islamic feeling this week than there was last week.

Let's say over the last year or two.

It seems to me that it was turned up a notch when the Tories launched their manifesto last year, followed by the London bombings, now cartoons, Hamza, Griffin trial etc.

It just seems more and more O.K to say I hate all ****** or ******.

[Lucifer Box]

Being "anti-Islamic" has not much to do with racism, has it?
