How does that work?
Your own bias proves nothing.
No she didn't.
She said male victims of DV were irrelevant to a discussuion about feminism and a feminist website. And that whining on about male victims is irrelevant to the debate. Which is true, just like chess is irrelevant to a website about fish.
Abuse?
"You're talking shit." is an accurate statement, it seems.

theres equality for you
Omg it's like they don't exist!!! :eek2:
First - this is a post about racism not feminism. Apologies to those as bored as I am by discussion of my unproven racism/suspected racism - there's a thread devoted to that but MrG chose not to use it. Skip this post if your interest is feminism. MrG please respond to this post in the 'Hey nckdn' thread to avoid wasting more of other people's time.
OK MrG, you have a way with words apparently so you'll know that the two posts you provided aren't contradictory - read 'em carefully -
"Black people can be English",
as opposed to
"Most Blacks who have British citizenship identify as 'Black British', 'Afro -Caribbean', or 'West Indian'."
It's up to them you see...I'm a person who thinks 'British Blacks' should define their own nationality and ethnicity, 'shock horror!'. There's no contradiction in my posts, yet contradictions are the only basis for your post, since you don't post anything but my posts!
My words are not contradictory, and not 'racist'. I think it's regrettable but understandable that British 'Blacks' (don't like the word myself, but it's the most widely understood word) have been encouraged to claim, and in fact, do claim distinctly seperate national and ethnic identities. I gave the most obvious examples in my posts and they are not the product of my imagination - they are how 'Black British' people identify themselves (I linked to the 2001 census site to show that ALL minority ethnic groups in England deny an English identity). I've been surprised at the aggressiveness with which people on this board have insisted that 'British Blacks', are in fact English whether they claim it or not. To quote one of the heroes of the Black British Struggle, Bernie Grant MP, "Black British is appropriate...it would stick in my throat to call myself English". His views are not unrepresentative and not racist, either for him to pronounce or me to repeat. I'll ask again - they don't claim to be English, why should others insist they are? What the hell is going on here?
you mentioned that text above in this thread, and thats why i mentioned what i later did, showing that you lied when you said "i disapprove of racism"
ive just gone and shown you
and as i said just earlier in this post, you brough it up not me you moronic git
I notice the deliberate smudge between English and British, second time Blagsta, second time too...
Anyway the answer's no, but obviously on matters of ethnicity (and nationality), you can't separate the individual from the group. As I replied when you first asked essentially the same question The memory and history of most British Blacks is perfectly in tune with Bernie Grant as we all know, and knowledge of that memory and history should not be ignored.
Of course this is true for Welsh, Irish and Canadians as well as 'Blacks'. I haven't sought to make this an issue about 'Blacks', but an issue of Englishness. Other people see the issue thro' a racial lens. Girl with sharp teeth, you recognise don't you that I haven't posted opinions on race, only facts which I've supported, but I do have to defend myself from the racist libel that Kermit, Blagsta and MrG keep vomiting up when we're not even discussing race.
