However,having said that, I do think that when someone is uncomfortable around someone and cannot speak to them or moves away that shows real racist belief beneath.

And where do you draw the line.

Of course the Nazis, or groups like the BNP or the Kan we would fight to the death against if we had to to stop them controlling things, however, even with people who are just prejudiced it is still really bad, and it is still racist they way they treat people even if it is just based on ignorance, and blind sheepish following of racism in national papers or by the members of the BNP etc which is actual belief.

That ignorance if allowed to spread can lead to attacks and even murders on more people not just abuse or mal treatment.Racism should be opposed in any guise it exists and opposed at every turn

sorry but yoiu are wrong, because the word racism should invoke true horrors in people, but when you use it to complain about service at a restaurant, well guess what, gay men, women, foriegners, they alll experience discrimination, even white epople dressed a certain way, rednecks get treated differently, so that's not racism, that's just prejudice.

racism should be used to describe a certain type of horrible crime, other wise, it just fits into normal prejudice.

prejudice and racism are NOT the same thing.

Sorry but can we politely agree to disagree. And I of all people don't believe what the media tells me. IN fact I do not watch the BBC news at all now as I know it doesn't cover the most important stories any more and just puts over the viewpoint of the establishment.

I have very left wing views and have been an active member of the left for ages. I know very well about thought control and either ignorant or just plain corrupt versions of terms and events broadcast by our media.

I made my own mind up and I am well educated and have a lot of experience in actually standing up to racism so I know that there are a lot of people who would be called just prejudiced are in fact racist but they won't admit to it, and I said the leaders of those who openly and knowingly admit to it are

the worst, but the sheep or followers who are seen as just prejudiced are also really dangerous and their treatment of others has to be stopped before it spreads as any form of racism if not tackled can lead to attacks and murder eventually, and it's the number of the idiots that just follow and are


prejudiced that is the problem, a few of them will because of other pressures IE financial or work end up actually r hurting

Can we just politely disagree.Notice how I have not just said "No You Are Wrong" at you, although I think you are

Apart from the nonsense about the left and thought control, that was going well up until the last line.
