Honest Racism?

[Mr Rob]

I believe that everyone should have the same equal rights and responsibilities regardless of race, creed, culture, or colour.
But you can't legislate to make people equal.
Either within races or between races.
Equality of legislation. Acceptance of differences.

But one law for all, and all equal under it.

If you meant that by "equality of legislation", I'm afraid that your standards have dropped.

Dropped to what from what?

I can understand their dislike of the relationship. I know Guardian readers will be in-taking a sharp breath. But, it is well documented that black men have a propensity for getting women pregnant and then doing a runner. Even recently, there have been black politicians that have stood up and said that black men should stand up to their social obligations.

I can understand parents have a concern on this matter.

And before anyone plays the racism card, let me just quote Jesse Jackson.

"There is nothing more painful to me at this stage in my life than to walk down the street and hear footsteps and start thinking about robbery. Then look around and see somebody white and feel relieved.... After all we have been through. Just to think we can't walk down our own streets, how humiliating."

To what they are from what they were, of course.

I struggle to disagree with much of that to be fair.

What were they?

[Mr Rob]

What were they?

Higher than they are.

This could go on for some time.

Game set and match to Mr Rob though. Mod, consider yourself suitably owned.

So do I.

What one does about something one dislikes is another question entirely.

Thanks Tally, but it was an attempt at a cross-thread p*ss take; I should have known better, they seldom work.
