I do not see myself as racist but that is not my concern and never has been. My concern is about the attempted shut-down by the manipulative. I have no time for radical PC. Got it now hun!

I talk about myself and my experience on here because certain individuals have repeatedly accused me of that because I have been open about my views on mass immigration and the wearing of burkhas in the West, you being one of the worst offenders - so don't try to play the innocent by pretending to wonder what immigration has to do with it - the very fact you try to do that shows you know exactly what you do. Neither of those opinions in themselves make me racist - unless of course I was calling immigrants and people of colour ugly names and stating I viewed them as inferior. Show me where I have said that! Most can see that, others don't care because they just want to manipulate people into their way of thinking on issues such as immigration.

Btw the question on your poll is a totally loaded question rendering it pretty invalid as you are suggesting that what you say is racist is racist and anything different to your view is ignorance. Yes mate, if you say so.

Right, I was done here but I need to comment on this post.

Nobody has ever tried to shut you down, what you see as people 'shutting you down' is actually just other people having their say on what you've said. That's the problem here. You see other opinions as people trying to shut you down and you use that to try to silence other people by making out that views that are in opposition to yours are an attack on you.

You claim people try to shut you down but in actuality, it's often you that's guilty of that because you can't recognise that people can have opinions too, it's not a right that's exclusive to you.

As I've said plenty of times (but you've ignored it just as much) If someone accuses you of something in a way that's reasonable and does not use insulting language then it's down to you to combat that accusation. Trying to make out that an accusation is an insult doesn't work when you are no stranger to hurling out accusations yourself. You don't realise that, because you don't defend yourself and instead you try to instead prevent people from calling you racist in the first place that it just makes you look guilty of that accusation since you are more concerned about the accusation then proving it's not true.
