I suppose my point is that sometimes the small-minded racists are threatened.
Racism and Political Correctness are both exploited so much by the press and politicians that it's hard to know what is actually happening.
Add to that the fact that some people aren't well paid, and are from families who weren't well paid, and are continually ignored by politicians and you find yourself with parties like the British National Pricks being a good choice for some people.
If you're, for example, an ill-educated white male in Bradford then your best chance for a job is the BNP. Why would anyone care about morals when they're poor and see a seemingly good answer?

Have you ever been poor?
Have you ever lived in or near Bradford?
Do you know what political correctness actually is?

Do you have any idea what you're talking about?
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 23:37, closed)

I've lived near Bradford all my life.
I've also heard funny stories from my family who live there about not being able to say "blackboard" and less funny stories about gangs of asian lads beating up white lads for being white.
Is that enough for you?
(Me, I'm not... in any way intoxicated, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 23:43, closed)

I can believe the first bit, but I'd gladly bet you're making the rest of it up.
There's no excuse for endorsing far-right paramilitary groups, even if you didn't do well in the lottery of life. It's pure stupidity, arrogance and animal instinct.

You can beleive what you want.
Do you live in Bradford? If you do I'm very surprised you've not heard about the casual racism against whites in certain areas and the, admittedly fairly rare, violence.
I am in no way suggesting that the BNP should ever be voted for -- I am merely pointing out that for some people it looks like a good idea.
Edit: The "blackboard" thing is true, apparently asking for your coffee "black" is frowned upon also.

I work in south-east Bradford and live just outside.

Where do you live then chief?
I live in BD2, and I'm white, and I walk through BD3 on a regular basis and here I am all alive and stuff.

I'm a Leodian,
I'm also not suggesting that Bradford is some kind of race war (well, not this week [sorry bad joke]).
I have, however, heard a few stories about anti-white racism and know that it only takes a few instances to make a generalisation.
(Me, I'm not... in any way intoxicated, Tue 18 Oct 2011, 0:09, closed)

Don't generalise then
This isn't a happy city, but you're ascribing the unhappiness to the wrong demographic.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Tue 18 Oct 2011, 0:26, closed)

Not my generalisation.
I was (am) trying to explain why some people may think the Daily Fail has it right.

This is a massively failed city
I referred to Detroit earlier and Bradford has become our Detroit.

I think we have to accept that we're now in post-post industrialism. There is nothing here at all.

There may be other local economies in a similar blighted wasteland but all there is now is a void that BD3 and BD9 fight over.

How do you pull yourself out of it? Well, Croydon did. You accept that Bradford is a subservient economy to Leeds and focus on the only sustainable local economy to drag yourself out of the morass.

"Edit: The "blackboard" thing is true, apparently asking for your coffee "black" is frowned upon also"
Proof, please: I can't find any reference to it other than as example of "political correctness gone mad!!!"
Learn from Theresa May's Catgate: Just because enough right-wing papers print a story it doesn't actually make it true.

Sorry Woodside
But he's quite right.

The BNP are scooping the vote that hardline Labour should have, if they'd not been diluted to nothing by Tory B Liar.

And I live in Bradford.

There are all sorts of urban myths in this shitehole of a city
The bottom line, to me, is that behaviour and not race will topple the edifice.

The city is full of chavs of various hue. Don't scream at the Islamic section - what have the white massive of Buttershaw and Canterbury done?

This - and I've said this before - is the next Detroit 1966.
( The Disappointed Caravanner of the year, Mon 17 Oct 2011, 23:59, closed)

The white massive have done fuck all.
But that doesn't mean they won't buy the Fail and see it as some kind of proof that they're being shafted out of something by the Asian population.

You aren't seriously defending the far right are you?
You cock.

What part of "The white massive have done fuck all" do you not understand?
There's a difference between understanding why someone would believe something and believing it yourself. I could suggest why someone may think that the world was flat, for example...
(Me, I'm not... in any way intoxicated, Tue 18 Oct 2011, 0:12, closed)

The tension here
Is intra - Islamic.

And it will explode. As above, I'm not racist. Racism implies a discrimination against anyone of a certain colour which is nonsensical.

I can't pretend to understand the distinctions between sects but there's a real edge now.
