doctor jambo Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 I dont get why people miss that race is almost a by product of what is really going on- hatred of the poor. Black skin in western countries is assimilated with poverty and poor minorities. Its about keeping the poor down. The wealthy have equally negative regard for their "own" poor- Chavs, neds, white trash, schemies, scousers, geordies and of course Scots in southern England. Before BAME immigration it was the catholics/ Irish Other countries too have the same negativity towards their "under class"- marked out by their surnames, religions or ethnicity- the "group" above them descriminating against them to keep them down and themselves "up". I'm not sure that poor white people see that they are at some advantage over anyone! I'm sure they resent the implication, knowing as they do that the rich think just as little of them as they do of BAME people- dole spongers, baby factories, layabouts.

Not everyone wants to or is capable of becoming a brain surgeon or teacher or fireman. As long as it's only ability, intelligence or desire that's holding them back then fine. If it's any other reason then that's wrong. That's what I meant. Equality of opportunity and the law is already in place for this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The ludicrous claims that we should have more black and Asian players or managers eh, um well just because we should, I mean I don’t care if they’re not good enough is just frankly outrageous imo. I was listening to LBC the other week and some black woman told James O’Brien he should quit his job and give it to a black person. No other reason than that I seen this earlier.
