racism in schools - does it exist ?
 

why the rise in racism in schools 23.05.12

i work in central London,
yes i do commute,
from watching the news this morning,
this report is corrupt and dose pollute.
schools are no longer all white,
this makes me enthusiastic,
yes i do witness racism,
the white children are called fake and white plastic.
head scarf and religious garments,
all give London a spice,
and i agree we should all embrace,
but there is a hidden price.
what about the 80,000 increase,
this 4 year period is shocking,
but i believe the schools are getting something,
there aim they protect and are blocking.
its money ordinate d,
or to get special focus,
but this race card will back fire,
and eat away at society like a locos.
please "news" stop,
stop making race a focal,
we all need to live together,
and with my poem i am being vocal.

( i think if the news stop pointing out the difference i am sure we would all be much happier and get along allot better, but i do feel it swings both ways and anyone can be hurt by nasty comments. dose racism exist in scools?)

Its So Lazy to not do that


This is Not the Only Forum he posts on.

Anything can exist in schools. It isn't about just racism. I'm white and I got some terroring in school - EVERYONE did, regardless of your skin colour, gender, sexuality or whatever. I've been given heaps of racist abuse and I'm white. Everyone can be a victim of racial abuse.

In the playground any difference is pounced upon. Whether that's colour, religion, sexuality, weight, disability, hair colour, wealth status or type of family - children do discriminate but not in a calculated fashion. It does need to be combatted but I don't think children can be called racist, homophobic, xenophobic or sexist.

Thank you. Someone who actually talks sense. Bullies will always find something to par normal people on. It really is as simple as A, B, C and 1, 2, 3.

people bully me for my poems - i rise above it and smile.

if you post on a public forum you have to be prepared to take the good and the bad comments.

you say about the press talking about race and then you post a thread on it!

the only good comment i have ever had is from redway - and that was today on my other thread poem.

Racism happens everywhere, just not as much in this age.

Not that many people are racist anymore. It's just a small minority who forgot to dump all their baggage in the 1960s. It just doesn't make sense to hate someone based on skin colour, something you have no control over.

No one's bullying you - just offering their views, which is what this section's for.

views are not dont write in poetry what they said on a other thread. anyway lets drop it and move on - sorry /

Well, don't apologise, mate. You ain't done owt wrong.

I would say yes, but i wouldn't say it thrives, i'd say it is challenged and is more under ground.

The options on this poll were not well thought out. i couldn't vote for any of the options given.

Thats what I said but in brief :tongue:

I don't think it exists. It's just a load of foreigners coming over here and making stuff up about us proud, white British people. After all, if they don't like it, they can get out of my country.

Every kind of discrimination imaginable happens in schools I would imagine

jesus you dont have to be white to be british

I think joes point is that all groups discriminate and hold prejudices against one another. It is not simply a black/white issue but black/black/ white/asian asian/black...
I may be wrong but thats how I interprate it.

im agreeing with you

My post wasn't serious. I gave a slightly racist/xenophobic answer, which sheriff took at face value.

jesus - you will go to hell .

Oh no. Are there are any other story book locations I can go to instead? How about Lilliput or Narnia?

dont mock - thats a sin
