Thread Name: BS: I heard nothing of this?!?
Subject: RE: BS: I heard nothing of this?!?
Troll nothing. I agree with Ake & EG (whom I know somewhat of, & respect), and with James Bradbury (who I know nothing of at all, but on this evidence has a serious point to raise & should not be dismissed as a troll).

From the experience of a friend many years ago (early/mid 80's), I can point out racism in this country. Whites were not significantly involved - it was (mostly) between Blacks & Asians. In the late 90's, a work colleague told me that, according to Sociological theory, it is impossible for ethnic minorities to be racist against the majority, it is merely reaction against repression, & therefore doesn't count (never such a load of crap have I heard...).

The news report appears to be genuine. Mr Bradbury raises two serious points (although his main para may state the case rather more emotively than the article allows for). First, that Stephen Lawrence & white racism *against* whatever is persistently thrust at us. Second, that {cynical}when there is the slightest possibility that racism against whites may occur, a deafening apathy falls upon the press, cos the latter don't flog copy, do it...{/cynical}
