We shout things at them and hit them with sticks
















We don't really. I'd like to think equally, altho i can't imagine that's the case up and down the country. Some people have some crazy ways of thinking. It's quite scary. I watched 'This is England' last night and it's scary to think that some people think like that. It's such a powerful film because i think everybody knows somebody who shares similar sort of opinions to the crazy skin head in the film....maybe not as extreme but stil..

I just think skin colour is a random thing to pick up on. It's almost as random as hair colour and eye colour, except skin colour is more obvious.

I'll never understand how people can be grouped together and labelled like that. The fact that you've started this thread suggests that it's a common conception.

My dad for example....

I was talking to my next door neighbours boyfriend who is black. Anyway it was the first time i'd met him and he came across as a nice lad. When i went inside i turned to my dad and said 'he's a nice lad int he' and he replied 'yeah i don't have a problem with any of them'

It's scary. I wouldn't even really consider him racist but in his head he had definitely created an 'us and them' mentality.

I really don't think the media help. I remember reading a paper a few months ago and a black man had stabbed somebody to death and it was front page news, with 3 or 4 follow on pages about it. Then somewhere in the middle of the paper was a tiny 2 paragraph column about a white man who had stabbed somebody and put them in intensive care. Imagine the chaos that that headline can create. Obviously that's what sells papers and makes them money but you have to question the mentality such headlines instill.
