Many presumptions have been made there, please don't pigeon hole me into a political sect - you have no idea of the broader opinions and values I hold. You've even admitted yourself the police force employ on quota rather than merit FFS, then have the audacity to "chuckle" at the fact non-ethnic-minorites aren't being discriminated against, what the feck do you call it Mr liberal Catholic? (a presumptuous oxymoron I've made there). I've stooped to your level now, to counter the claim that I somehow read the Daily Mail, (while you present the innuendo of 'little Englander' towards me), and making all my claims off of the back of this "f*cking rag".
Instead of trying to insult my intelligence re my views, and where I get my informed opinion from, try debating the point instead. Of course, when a debates not going the way of someone from the 'thought police', they/you jump up and down and accuse people of reading the daily mail (making the innuendo I'm racist) and being ultra-conservative to stifle debate becuase your points, and claims have been refuted. Typical.
Of course, you won't give a reason as to why this discrimination takes place, rather you define at as just being "ridiculous". Of course you would, because you are too busy treading on eggshells up there in your ivory tower.
which in itself is an illogical argument and classic misdirection - just because Rome invaded Britain 2,000 years ago wouldn't justify us invading Italy tomorrow would it? You then rather patronizingly state thatAfrican blacks and Arabs were using slavery on the continent of Africa way before the white man went there and implemented the transatlantic slave trade?
before returning to the role of the victim in the very next sentence, claiming thatI haven't insinuated once that "black pride" shouldn't take place, good for them!
Where did I say you had to? Your aggressive nature, and repeated ignoring of the actual crux of my point to rant on again about how you clearly have nothing to feel guilty about says a great deal about your character. I think the following article would be of great interest to you, or anyone insane enough to think you are making any kind of relevant point:I won't be buggered into thinking I should feel guilty of what my "ancestors" did back then and having this rubbed into my face as some guilt trip that pervades society today with all it's PC indoctrination. And it's the same that I wouldn't expect a German (Merkel excused) today to personally feel guilty of what their forefathers did in 1945.

And also you accuse those who feel no guilt of what their ancestors did by coining it "passive racial aggression". When it's clearly not. You expect people to feel a burden of guilt for something they had no hand in what so ever, yet if they don't, you term them "passive-racial-aggressive" to 'try' and trump and take some sort of righteous moral high ground - it doesn't wash with me because it's a totally illogical and flawed accusation that deserves you to be called up upon.
Stop twisting my words. The point I made was that a person claiming that since they had no direct input into racial abuses hundreds of years ago they feel that black people have no right to "rub it in their face" is an incredibly arrogant stance and passive aggressively racist. As I previously stated it has nothing to do with guilting anyone that these groups exist but as a celebration of their own particular culture.
I didn't twist your words, no point in trying to wriggle out of these flawed and illogical accusations you've made:
Its that modern passive-aggressive racist attitude again - "Well Im not a racist and I never owned a slave so black people should just forget about it and move on because its nothing to do with me."You're clearly an ultra-conservative in regards to your view that "non-ethnic majorities" are somehow being discriminated against (that sentence alone should utter a chuckle from anyone reading it) so the next time you spit out your low fat latte in righteous indignation at something you read in the Daily Mail take a second, three deep breaths, and ask yourself the question "If all this crazy bullsh*t was really happening on a daily basis wouldnt it be reported in many more reputable places than this f*cking rag?

Here it is again, you state:
I agree that the quota thing is ridiculous btw, the PSNI (police force) has to assign jobs 50/50 based on religion in N Ireland which to me is completely counter-productive to promoting equality.

Of course, you won't give a reason as to why this discrimination takes place, rather you define at as just being "ridiculous". Of course you would, because you are too busy treading on eggshells up there in your ivory tower.
b. Im not a catholic, I was raised protestant but have been an athiest since my late teens.
c. You claim my point is "wrong and illogical" yet present no evidence whatsoever as to why you believe so. People like this do exist, Boxscarf already threw down this ridiculous point of view to start this whole debacle.
d. The PSNI recruitment system isnt discriminatory against any side protestant or catholic, its discriminatory against any worthy applicant that gets screwed over as the PSNI equalities board have to fill their 50/50 quota
e. "Audacity to chuckle" at your non-ethnic majority rant shows what an absolute cuckoo land you live in when you choose to willfully ignore the fact that Britain's power structure is overwhelmingly dominated by Upper-middle class white Christian men just as it has been for the best part of a millennium. Management structures in the vast majority of workplaces are almost exclusively white British. You and I will be long dead before a change in populace or politics comes anywhere close to changing that.
f. There is no point to debate with you, you claim informed opinion yet rant about "PC brigades" and other shady conspiracies then claim you have refuted an argument to a minor point that I have now clarified twice but you havnt even presented an opinion on - you simply quoted me, stated my "accusations were flawed and illogical" despite the fact that you have offered no rebuttal whatsoever against them and by extension provided no evidence otherwise! For example, on the subject of Black Pride, you come out firing that

Here's another conspiracy I found just out of interest:

Q:
I have noticed that many Asian Indians have diabetes, while very few African Americans have it. Are some ethnic groups more prone to diabetes than others?
A:
Yes, research is showing some groups are more prone than others to developing diabetes, but I would reverse your statement. African-Americans are more prone to type 2 diabetes than Asian Americans. Other groups show an even greater inclination. Pima Indians and South Sea Islanders, such as Somoans, are among the highest rate, with a strong genetic disposition. Remember, though: strong genetics do not predestine the disease; lifestyle habits become the main determinant, particularly for Type 2 diabetes.

Mobile players with excellent technique, such as Borini and Sterling, will be a huge improvement on what he had alongside him last season.
