BB Racism - Downing Street Quote
-
Yep. I'm called a racist here almost on a daily basis. :) What's really funny is when I'm called a racist when I make fun of certain fanatical religious groups whose origins are in the middle east and whose members wear bed sheets on their heads. I guess the bed sheet thing makes a certain amount of sense because it serves to keep the sand out of their hair, and can double as an impromptu tent. I wonder if the bed sheet manufacturers there run commercials on TV that resemble the light beer commercials here in the U.S.... Off-screen announcer: "Abdul's Head Sheets, for just 24 camel teeth and a shiney rock!" First on-screen camel jockie: "It's a head sheet!" Second on-screen camel jockie: "It's a handy tent!" First on-screen camel jockie: "It's a head sheet!" Second on-screen camel jockie: "It's a handy tent!" First on-screen camel jockie: "It's a head sheet!" Second on-screen camel jockie: "It's a handy tent!" Woman approaches men: "No, you silly men! It's both!" First and second on-screen camel jockies: "You are just a woman and your opinion is NOT VALUED!!!" Fade to black as first and second on-screen camel jockies beat woman relentlessly...

I knew it wouldn't be long before you got one of those comments. That is a perfect example of the problem. "Racism" has come to be viewed as the greatest single evil that humanity can engage in. And anything that in any way denegrates anyone other than white people or their culture is inherently racist. You cannot be critical of any other people or culture regardless of how perfectly loathsome they might be because that would be racist, and racism is worse than any other possible consideration. So, for exmaples, Muslims mudering thousands might be bad, but to in any way imply that such behavior might some how be assciated with endemic flaws in the culture of the middle east is a racist reaction to the violence, and is therfore worse and must be reacted to with more force and concern than the violence itself. It represents a thoroughly intellectually bankrupt strangle hold on western culture, and we have no hope of survival until we break out of the embrace by whatever means necessary.

Let me start by saying that I do not know who Shilpa is, or who Jack Tweed is. I only know of Jade Goody because she was on the news the last time she was on this 'fine' TV programme. The first quote is not racist at all. It is somewhat stupid to make it on public television, yes, but they are stupid people and it is a perfectly harmless comment to make. I have Indian friends who joke about how white I am, and how I should go to India to 'brown up a little bit'. Is that racist? Of course it isn't. It is poking fun at cultural differences and not intended to be malicious. Jade Goody is far too thick to be deliberately racist. The second quote is not racist either, it is plain old bullying. If Shilpa wasn't Indian, but still managed to cook a Chicken meal that is not tuned for western palates, I bet Mr. Tweed would have made exactly the same comment. The rush to label any little upset or injustice as an 'ism' (sexism, racism, etc) is completely out of hand. Take some responsibility for yourself goddamnit and stop trying to pile blame for everything onto someone else. Racism is all in the intent. You can be racist without saying anything obviously offensive. Your ending comment, trying to suggest that the west is teeming with racism is absurd -- your own country is one of the worse in the way its treats its own groups of people, and you are all the same race. P.S.: Please capitalise letters after a full stop, it is very hard to follow what you are saying. It looks like one big sentence.

I view it more broadly...The assertion that an individual or a segment of society (whether it be differentiated by race, economic situation or now even behavior) warrants them to be considered better or worse than average, simply by virtue of belonging to that group, violates the primary liberal principle -- equality. By making such an assertion, you are dispensing with liberalism and you must be chastised for it. After all, independence of thought of clearly a liberal myth. Conservatism asserts that we are created equal and are responsible for shaping our lives from birth. The quality of our lives results from the quality of our character and the decisions we make as a result. Contrast this with liberalism which incorrectly asserts that we should remain equal throughout our lives (which, of course, is contrary to human nature and therefore requires an overbearing and despotic government to enforce). There are far too many angles that liberals use tp chastise those who part with their concept of equality to limit their engagement to "racism" alone.

How are "camel jockie" and "wearing bed sheets on their heads" valid criticism? It's no different that using the "N" word. Get a grip, stan.

My grip isn't the problem, your inability to see through your own leftist dogma is. The point isn't whether or not it is racist, the point is the relative significance of racism in our society to murderous violence in that of someone else. To be so concerned about solving the issue of racism in your own society, to make it the single most significant issue you are concerned with, at a time when another culture is producing mass murder on a grand scale, is irrational. To be more intolerant of racism than the other culture is of murder is irrational. To continuously make excuses for that other culture because to be critical of them would make you a 'racist' also is irrational. To wait until your own culture is so thoroughly sterilized of any tendency to make the occassional racially profane comment befure you are willing to do anything at all about the utter lack of civil conduct of the other culture is irrational.

Not only do you need to get a grip, but you also need to see through your own leftist dogma. The point is that calling an arab a camel jockie is racist. Plain and simple. And describing it as such is in no way being tolerant of murder(what a bizarre idea!). Nor is it "making excuses for that other culture". Nor is it disallowing criticism of the other culture. "Camel jockie" adds nothing to the discussion. Get a grip stan.

Why are you pushing the idea that pointing out the fact that a society rides camels or wears towel-like headgear is racist? Why do you think that such things are inferior? Are you a racist? Are you 12?

How sweet :rose: Did you and Stan enjoy your little racist rampage? By the way you both suck at being racists since you try to hide it behind intellectual sounding statements. Real racists join action groups, wear arm bands and protest and plot and stuff.

Now by all means reply to this with more fabricated opinionated academically phrased unsupportable nonsense as a means of "proving" you are one of the "right people". It's always good for a giggle.

Ummmmmm....Huh? I don't advocate equality because people aren't equal. Our character (achieved during life) sets us apart from one another. Liberalism asserts that people (who aren't equal) should be forced into equality and that pointing out the glaring inferiorities of certain groups of people (which is contary to that liberal principle of equality) constitutes bigotry*. Sorry, but if you choose to join a group of people which advocates the destruction of western civilization, then you are worthy of any and all ridicule. *Unless a leftist is criticizing conservatives. That fits the definition of bigotry, but sense liberalism was developed in Bizarro world, that kind of bigotry is acceptable.

two quotes that i kind of remember from the newspapers: 1.shilpa makes chicken for the housemates.the response she gets from jade goody:"the chicken is overcooked,no wonder indians r thin and sickly" 2.jack tweed asks shilpa to "pick out the chicken bones from the toilet with ur teeth" in what sort of a country is that not racist? if those two comments are true,then i would have to say:OF COURSE the indian newspapers are reporting this as if it is some significant story. yes it is significant because when indians grow up,v c so much injustice and inequity around us that v start feeling that v must reach the west.the so called land of freedom and equality.events like these dispel those myths. it makes me feel,im fine where i am..maybe if i can contribute to my country's growth,i wont have to face that..

Evidently Jade's is a 'half caste', no offence intended, according to he mother she suffered racial abuse as a child. So it is not a white, thick, white English person making these statements, so is it still racial abuse?

It is when commitment to racism as an original sin that must be stamped out at all costs before we have any sort of moral authority to pass judgement on other cultures. And it is when exageration of every little incedent that can remotely be considered racist is used to denegrate your own society. It is a continuous, on going, leftist jihad against its own civilization. The left invest more effort and concern in protected arab minorities from the mythical spectre of racism from our own citizens than it does in vigorously tracking down terrorists and attempting to interupt their plans. It will not do the latter at all if it in any way conflicts with the former. That is in every possible way being more tolerant of murder than of racism. And whenever anyone trying to point that out is castigated as a deluded fanatic provides only more proof of the grip the left has on the juggular of our civilization.

Unacceptable? There's a nation of people lazy enough to spend their time watching that drivel. How are these poorly-worded, vaguely racist insults any worse than the usual poorly-worded insults? Surely you already knew that these people are idiots, put on display for the amusement of the masses...
