    There is nothing wrong with segregation . and no its not people like me who break down race relations . Its the people who kept black people as slaves for hundreds of years . Policemen that kill black men in police custody and nothing happens to them . The people that invade iraq , afghanistan , and blame muslims and people of colour for everything . Its the people who have stolen our land , oil, gold and whatever they could get their grubby hands on .
    And we all know who that is
    REMEMBER THAT
    China is currently exploiting Africa's resources.
    Early Islamic empires invaded countless of lands and extended as far as Spain.
    Arabs enslaved blacks and blacks enslaved each other.

    You're seeing what you want to see (confirmation bias) and your western education has only exposed you to the atrocities of white people. Study some history and you'd realize that every race has had some bad apples that have committed atrocities. White people aren't interdependent. The actions of some white people don't reflect the actions of others. Funny you talking about racism whilst being disgustingly racist your self. Fix up my *****.

    Nah you don't. What the **** do black people go through? I'm black and most of my friends are black and we've had a pretty easy life unless you live in an area which isn't racially diverse and racist, which most black people don't. This isn't the 60s bro. Life is goooood. **** off with this racial mentality you're holding onto.
    Just because YOU don't go through ish doesn't mean it doesn't happen REMEMBER THAT .

    Being black can get you killed in police custody which has happened over 100 times in the past 10 years yet no one ever gets convicted .

    Being black can get you followed in shops , kicked off talent shows , shot dead for no reason and nothing happen to the perpetrator (trayvon martin)

    Shot dead by police for nothing .

    The list goes ON AND ON AND ON

    :mmm:

    You know slaves have been kept since the dawn of time? It just happens that the Atlantic slave trade was the last real slave trade, oh, and a vast amount of slaves were sold to the Europeans by Africans. Infact, the African tribes had a rich history of taking slaves and keeping them. Infact, since before the turn of the first mellenium they had been selling them into the Arab slave trade. So it's not just Whitey

    INvade Iraq, to get rid of a genocidal dictator. How terrible. Invade Afghanistan, to remove an opressive theocratic regime renowned for being big players in the export of drugs and terror funding, the people who stopped girls from going to school and killed men for not having a beard.

    Blame Muslims? No, they blame Islamist insurjents for the ongoing death toll.

    Stolen everything? I admit, in the past there was colonialism, but in the past people of colour had a hand in that too, everyone has at one time or another. It just so happens that, again, the Europeans were the last major players in such world events before we moved on from seeing them as a legitimate, a view put forward by....the Western world :cool:

    So get that chip off your shoulder and start being a productive member of society, rather than a stereotypical Black racist

    Evidence?

    Who has been kicked of talent shows for being black? And that doesn't apply to just blacks about the shop and there's a good chance that wearing certain clothes correlates more with that then being black. Again, it's a on going case and you don't know all the facts so don't make any conclusions. Find a better example.

    The fact that you have to ask me for "proof" shows a lack of racial awareness on your behalf so i will not debate with you because as a "black" person you should know better . Its a well know fact that white policemen have been getting away with killing blacks in police custody for years

    You don't get this whole "debate and discussion" thing do you?

    He asked for evidence therefore he's clueless? why? because he won't take some biased stranger's word for what he's saying?

    What a terrible person!

    I believe he's talking about Gamu, some girl from Zimbabwe whose visa got refused or something like that, leading to her being deported. As we all know, deportation now equates to racism.

    She wasn't deported, she still live in scotland because they decided her family contribute enough to the UK to be allowed to stay.

    Racism has always worked both ways. Although I'm not sure this racism, its more the national hero of Jamaica is getting serious with a non Jamaican, pretty sure there would be anger if she was non Jamaican anyway. Its hardly unheard of, can you imagine Prince Harry marrying a black girl, not sure that is even allowed?


    That said there is a tendency for black men to see a white wife as a status or trophy symbol, a remnant from the past and segregation.

    In the words of the ever so wise Mr West

    "but when he gets on, he’ll leave your ass for a white girl"
    "White woman complex" implies it's because she's white though. Also I wouldn't listen to anything Kanye West says, he's trying too hard.

    I have noticed that a lot of black sportsmen are with white women but that probably is down to the circles they are in once they become famous. I don't think there are many black women in these circles so they are going to be with white women and there is nothing wrong with that.
    Black women need to stop feeling hurt by this, there are plenty of good men in the world so don't get hung up on a few. Notice I said men you don't have to be with a man because he is of the same race.
    Totally agree with this post :yep:

    And lol, I don't feel hurt, angry or bitter about all of this. Quite frankly I don't care.

    At the end of the day, you say you can understand way black men find white women more attractive, white women age very quick, and I am raising my sons to find black women and their feather attractive. I am also raising them to appreciate the hair texture of black women.

    The media constantly shows mixed relationships, even the Disney channel shows young black guys tracing the white girl. I have to be explaining to my family that they must never trace a white girl and I have to tell them to turn the telly over.
    Wow.

    Just wow.

    Some black women are beautiful, some white women are beautiful.

    I live in England. I'm not going to go out of my way to find a black girl just to please people like you. I struggle to understand your logic, if you think mixed relationships are wrong. I have connected better in the past with white girls, than black girls, yet you think I should ignore this, just to prevent what exactly?
    I agree.

    I am not going to go out of my way to date a guy cos he's black just cos some bigoted idiotic fool(s) say(s) so.

    I go by personality, not race.

    Maybe he is with her because he actually loves her.

    Not her white skin. Do you seriously think that ****ing race has to come into everything?
