I saw Darcus Howe's documentary on Monday and it was NO surprise to me!!
In my town, Afro Caribbean youths and South Asian youths have been at each others' throats for some time now!
Racists came from ALL races!!

We know racists come from all races.
Good for you then.
Look smart arse, not all of us saw the documentary or even know what you are talking about. Do you want to provide a link or a summary. Or fuck off and stop wasting our time. This could have been a good thread, it's currently quite disappointing.
Ooo, get her!!

Thank you, why did you just give us this is the first place. Idiot
Yes look above!!!
Racists DO come from all races. Facts aren't debatable.
If you don't understand the thread, then don't visit it.
And what did I say that was so funny?
For those of us who are intellectually inferior to yourself, perhaps you could explain what the point of this thread is. The problem is that no one understands, and therefore we can not have a debate.
Should there be punishments for setting up pointless threads? how annoying is it? Should there be a mod check before a thread is open to the public?
Now, that's a debate.
I reckon rather than banning complete retards, their posts should be screened by mods. However, I think it would be an extremely boring job for the mods, even more so if they had to read every single post. It would also cause a backlog. It would be rediculous. Certain people need their posts checking though.
On another board i go to, people have reputation meters alongside other details. Maybe a retard-meter would work here?
only joking im just confused!!!
*chuckles* Fancy joining the debate madam?

You're a man.
Why should such a smiley bother you?
Anyone for lacrosse??
Doesn't seem to work does it. I think this is his third incarnation and he's still a twat.
Once again you have used a statement.
Do you have a question? One which we could debate over because I don't think anyone would disagree with your "all races" comment. In fact, personally, I would include Darkus in that racist category based on some things I have heard him say...
If the programme showed white youths from Burnley and their hostility to their white neighbours from Blackburn the feelings would have been just as strong but it would not have been racialised. The sad fact is that working class, disenfranchised young men, irrespective of their racial background, often feel that their only purpose is to defend their particular area from outsiders. They have limited career prospects and few role models but can sometimes earn a misguided sense of worth as the guardians of their societies.
All groups shown in Darcus's programme talk about protecting themselves and their communities rather than simply hating other races. Inter-racial and gang violence will continue to be a blight on Britain's inner cities for as long as young men see others in the same boat as the enemy rather than blaming poverty for their condition.
Absolutely.
Scapegoats are easy to blame for one's own misfortune. Just as it is easy to label something as racism when in fact that isn't the motivation behind the abuse/violence/confrontation.
Yes, racist terms may be used in the abuse, but use of words doesn't mean that someone is actually racist in belief. We all know how hurtful some expressions can be, and so some people will use them just to get a reaction. We shouldn't forget that.
Exactly. What is needed is a class based analysis rather than a racial/ethnic/cultural one.
What difference would that make?
People are scum, regardless of class/race/religion etc...
