Scotland Yard Racism...

Oh, laws now? So, given that at that time, it was whites who essentially ruled the world of slavery, you think that the definition of racism also encompasses a political power?

So you can't be racist towards a race that is politically more powerful than a minority?

I think it is spelled 'source'.

Sauce please.

The point I am making is very simple, discrimination towards blacks has been significantly worse than towards most other groups.

Heinz or HP?

And the point I am making is that it is wrong to use that 'historical injustice' as a reason as to why discrimination laws should apply only to anti-black discrimination

And the point I am making is that it is wrong to use that 'historical injustice' to try to justify a reason as to why discrimination laws should apply only to anti-black discrimination

Get your sarcasm detector fixed mate!

And address this point : Have you ever heard of serfdom or feudalism? Most of the British populace used to be slaves.

I will also have the sauce.

PS, hp is owned by heinz. =P

As it is, discrimination laws do not only apply to 'anti-black discrimination'. No discrimination law applies to any specific race anyway. Thus, a gypsy could claim under the relevant act that he/she was discriminated against and so could a Jewish man also under the same relevant act.

There are, however, some specific laws related to disabled persons.

There will obviously be conflicting papers - are you about to read all of them and provide a logical analyse? If you’re that interested go and do some research. Like I said, this is my interpretation of what I understand and have read.

Why is that relevant? Does society think of white people when they hear 'slave'? No, which is ONE of the reasons why the law and civil society focuses heavily on black people in terms of discrimination.

"you will always be a n****r"?
Tell that to Michael Jackson.

When did I say discrimination laws should be in place for only anti-black discrimination?

Have any of those groups faced the discrimination that black people have throughout history? Were any of those groups ever made into slaves? Were any of them repressed via discriminatory laws?

When you said it you shouldn't apply discrimination laws to other groups because blacks have been the most discriminated against in history.

And then you brought up slavery to justify it.

That's clearly not what I said.

I was emphasising my point which I've grown tired of repeating - the reason why there is more focus on anti-black discrimination.

Have any of those groups faced the discrimination that black people have throughout history? Were any of those groups ever made into slaves? Were any of them repressed via discriminatory laws?

On Stacey, Senior CPS lawyer, Jim Brisbane says:

"Racist language is inappropriate in any setting and through any media. We hope this case will serve as a warning to anyone who thinks that comments made online are somehow above the law"

What you said was:



So that means you are trying to justify the exclusion of all discrimination except that against black people. Because apparently no other group of people have been oppressed as much as black people have.

You might well say that whites have repressed other races with discriminatory laws. But I can equally say back to you that other races have repressed whites with discriminatory laws.

They aren't, but I wouldn't treat someone who burns down, smashes up and robs shops with any respect at all, and I don't see why I should. Race shouldn't have really entered into things (though one must bear in mind that a disproportionate number of black teenagers were involved), but if he'd called the looter a 'scumbag' or something like that, it wouldn't bother me in the slightest.

I'd say witnessing someone hurling a brick through a shop window for example is pretty good proof of their guilt.

But let's just say for argument's sake that during the riots, a police officer arrested an innocent bystander. Surely, if you were innocent, you would just comply and wait until you're let go in a couple of hours?
