yep I watched it. He raises alot of questions that are awkward for the powers that be and society as whole to deal with openly. We were always brought up to believe certain things about different people. Our values are formed as we get older. As youngsters in our first schools we don't see race or colour or creed we just see another child. Then slowly as we grow up in our various habitats/districts and we start listening to input from others whether it be parents or aunts and uncles, older kids etc we start to become influenced by these ideals. Is it so bad to say that a good percentage of the Jewish community (especially in the largest cities) have a wealthy lifestyle? Is it wrong to call an Afro-Carribean man a black man, or to call a man whose forefathers hail from the region of India or Pakistan - a brown man? My brother in law is a typical Londoner, he talks with a London accent. If you was to talk to him on the phone you'd swear blind he is white, but he isn't. He himself says he is brown. It doesn't make him any less important than you or I because in my opinion his skin colour, his ethnicity (or the fact that he's a Southern Softie (lol)) is immaterial. He's not just a brother in law, he is a good mate (even though he supports Liverpool). Where it starts to go wrong is calling people names based on their race, religion, country of origin etc. And the aspect of not dealing sensibly with issues that are morally wrong and the consequences of doing nothing for fear of some kind of racial backlash. That poor little black girl who was tortured and killed by people supposedly intrusted with her care. Nobody said anything for fear of being branded racist. Or the school girls groomed by gangs of men from an Asian/Indian background. Police and local government officials too afraid to act. But when it does break into the news, the media immediately make potentially inciteful and overtly racist headlines that fans the fires of anger and whole sections of a community take a stand against everyone of that ethnicity and condemn all without exception instead of just those who perpetrated the crime.
What was that guy on about at the UKIP rally when he just started having ago at Trevor Phillips? If that guy is a typical UKIP party member or follower then we have to seriously question the motives and ideals of such extremist viewpoints. I noticed that there was a very distinct lack of black and brown people at the convention. I only saw one black guy there. Maybe it's just me but, I am starting to think that UKIP is just a more acceptable version of the more radical and violent face of the National Front and England for Whites Only movement. Too many similarities to the Hitler regime and his Nazi Party for my liking - racial intolereance, extremist views on jobs for "Brits only" which will quickly become jobs for WHITE Brits only, which will then become jobs for White English people, his fixation about Poles, Romanians etc. To my mind this a dangerous ideology and not the utopia some think it is. We start on this path at our peril. There are bad people in all walks of life and in all races and creeds but can we tar everyone of that faith, race or colour or even wealth (or lack of) with the same brush as Farage and others have done.
