I just feel that all these BLM protests are going to push race relations back about 40 years in this country. Don’t see the need for it in this country as I think we are very tolerant here, perhaps too much sometimes. Probably going to change now though.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
In the 70’s, I was growing up in Brixton. My dad ran an off-licence the site of which now sits a Pizza takeaway last time I looked.
My memory of it was that Blacks and Whites got on back then.I was one of four white kids in my primary school class - and the only kids I got pushed around by, - were the other three white kids!!
Fast forward to the present, and anyone driving through London late on a sunday morning will be greeted with the sight of well-dressed black people pouring out of Churches everywhere.
I’ve always found that Asian Sikhs and West Indian Blacks are the best neighborhood ethnics to live among. I live in a predominantly Sikh neighborhood now to this day. I’ve also got Kosovans, Ukranians, and other Eastern Europeans living in the same street as me further up.
I’ve broken bread with these people, laughed and joked in pubs with them - but I wasn’t lucky enough to get to date any girls of my own age as a teenager, alas. Nearly all the foreigners back then were fleeing from places like Idi Amin’s Uganda, Kenya, and we got a few “Vietnamese Boat People” as well, or course.Surely we must ALL have a mate who’s a bit of a “Denzil Tulser” character, bearing in mind that although fictional - he was even a Trucker to boot!

We also don’t have a problem with non-white Brits already here who did everything to fit in with us whiteys whilst we were still growing up in our younger days…
As I said - the 70’s was NOT a time of “Racial Discourse” from my memory, so how DARE these “Millenials” start guffing off about how racist we oldsters are that only grew up with the decent proper ethnic communities of both yesteryear AND Today - as I believe Racial Harmony never actually left us….
…it is merely fogged-out by made-up dischord that wasn’t there before at all, but made-up by those on the Left that think sowing such divisions is their way back into power again…
Maybe they should have considered doing something for those votes they want at Town Hall level, rather than being Labour incumbents there for donkeys years, only to blame the powder keg they continue to stoke up on the incumbent Tories, or the Far AWAY “Far Rights” that don’t seem to be doing much “dischord” at all, anywhere really… just “rumoured” to be present causing the violence at Antifa/BLM type meetings, or so we’re told and expected to believe…
Our Law Authorities and Media - need to get a grip here.
Lives would be saved just from would-be criminals not being so encouraged to attack those “not them” as the Mainstream likes to both encourage, and then cover up for them so acting out…
There’s no such thing as “Mental Health” in my mind. It is “Good” and “Bad” as a CHOICE, and a lifestyle choice at that.
The only “Hate” that abounds - is the type of hate that makes a person want to stick a knife into a complete stranger, merely because they look different from them…
Now THAT is the “Racism” and the “Hatred” in the same vessel then and there!More effort needs to be put on foreign minorities in particular to simply “Fit In”. That’s it.
The Hard Working Eastern Europeans - seem to have managed it alright - haven’t they?
…Or am I describing “White Priviledge” here?
Dead right. I went to school there and I’ve said before on here the same as you. We all got on. I agree with the rest of the post as well.
