I believe in free speech and have granted you yours on my blog. However, if you wish to write further please set up your own blog.<BR/><BR/>I recommend you read my post "losing Paradise" about a black race, The Fijians, of whom I am very fond, and who face a plight very similar to the native British. However, I object to uncontrolled levels of black and Asian immigration to Britain, because it has changed this for the worst.<BR/><BR/>As far as taking crime figures on face value, I suggest that you read my post "Lies, damn lies and statistics" and you will see how wrong you are.<BR/><BR/>As to the poppycock you talk about the "complexities" of crime, there is no complexity to gang rape, 95% of which is committed by non-whites.<BR/><BR/>There is no complexity to the fact that all the teenagers who have been murdered in London so far this year, were non whites, except the Turkish boy who killed Jimmy Mizen.<BR/><BR/>That is not a complexity, it is an indictment.<BR/><BR/>I am not actually a member of the BNP, although I did vote for them this May for the first time, however, they certainly do not advocate violence in any form.<BR/><BR/>I am sorry if were the victim of violence in the past but statistically whites are far more likely to be the victims of racial crime than the other way round.<BR/><BR/>Many black and Asian immigrants say that they are fleeing violence, but sadly many bring it with them.<BR/><BR/>I have granted you the courtesy of a hearing but please do not write again.Sarah Maid of Albionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685494924450312124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-89118835297193172272008-06-04T13:22:00.000-07:002008-06-04T13:22:00.000-07:00it's not about an ideological purity test, far fro...it's not about an ideological purity test, far from it. It think it is possible to be on the right and not be a racist, and to be consistent and logical etc; but your ruse -which boils down to, I have nothing against black people it just happens that a lot of the people I despise are black- is a very common one; a bit of consistency in your approach to immigration would make a lot more sense. <BR/><BR/>You can hardly accuse me of lack of logic if you take crime statistics at face value- they don't begin to understand the complexities of the who and why of criminality. <BR/><BR/>Your heroes in the BNP are bare-faced racists underneath their smart suits shiny shoes are the same limbs that 20 years ago were kicking the shit out of me and my friends for being jewish, black, gay, socialist whatever. <BR/><BR/>I'll never give up standing up to them and you for the right to live in britain no matter what colour/race/sexuality we are.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-12693393117241436812008-06-04T13:01:00.000-07:002008-06-04T13:01:00.000-07:00Hi again MartinI don't think I did specifically de...Hi again Martin<BR/><BR/>I don't think I did specifically deny racism, certainly not by your definition, if you want to know what I think about "racism" You might want to read my article "Bullied by their safe word" (there is a link in the list of older posts I am proud of in the right hand column on the blog)<BR/><BR/>Your assertion that more blacks are deprived than whites is a modern myth but it is factually incorrect, at least when applied to Britain or America. <BR/><BR/>Given that whites make up 90% of the population, in numerical terms there are far more whites living in poverty and deprivation than blacks. If deprivation were the cause of street crime you would expect to see far higher levels of whites involved than blacks, but you don't.<BR/><BR/>As to your other comment, given that most third world immigrants are either black or brown, whilst very indigenous Europeans are, then I guess I am more concerned about dark skinned immigrants, but that is more to do with behaviour and culture than anything else.<BR/><BR/>However, as I have said before, I am not scared of the "r" word. It has been so abused and misused it is now meaningless.<BR/><BR/>You will consider me a racist whatever I say, merely because I don't subscribe to your dogma. Well so be it, by your definition I am sure most people fail your ideological purity test.Sarah Maid of Albionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685494924450312124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-1043737263140124302008-06-04T12:31:00.000-07:002008-06-04T12:31:00.000-07:00Sarah, it doesn't really seem to be the truth you ...Sarah, it doesn't really seem to be the truth you are after, since you deliberately blur race and national origin, not all european immigrants are white for example. <BR/><BR/>It's fairly clear from the quote I extracted that your dislike is for black people "... merely putting up a white smokescreen to hide the dark forces which really threaten us." rather than the fact that any particular group of immigrants is from 'the third world'. <BR/><BR/>In any case you fail to compare like with like, your claim is that problems are caused by non-europeans, whereas as far as I understand recording of incidents by the police is done on the basis of self-defined race. Notwithstanding the fact the both the victims and perpetrators of crime are drawn predominantly from the poorest sections of our communities. Black people are over-represented within the poorest sections of our communities -thanks in art to racists like you.<BR/><BR/>It seems to me pretty pointless of you to dispute being a racist when who appear to despise black people coming to britainAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-55584620473788209022008-06-04T11:43:00.000-07:002008-06-04T11:43:00.000-07:00Hi MichaelWith respect, I submit that it is a litt...Hi Michael<BR/><BR/>With respect, I submit that it is a little more than “a few” hundred years since Westerners behaved in quite the same way, and it may be down to a gap in my European history but I don't reacall a period in European history when we routinely tortured children to death in order to use their body parts as a medical ingredient.<BR/><BR/>Source:<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/6p6sap<BR/>and:<BR/>http://tinyurl.com/6la9ly<BR/><BR/>You have a lot to say, but it strikes me that you know very little about South Africa's history, its demographics, or what has been going on there in the last 14 years, I don't blame you, the news media have been busily suppressing the truth, until they could no longer pretend it was not happening. <BR/><BR/>If you had asked me six months ago I would have said that within ten years we would see scenes in South Africa which make Rwanda look like a bit of a scuffle. However, I now think it will be much sooner than that. South Africa is a tragedy for all concerned blacks as well as whites.<BR/><BR/>I plan to post more about South Africa later this month, if you are still arround you might find it informative.<BR/><BR/>SarahSarah Maid of Albionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685494924450312124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-6684706665455342722008-06-04T10:54:00.000-07:002008-06-04T10:54:00.000-07:00Hi MartinThanks for your contribution, even if it ...Hi Martin<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your contribution, even if it was a bit silly. It seems that like many on your side of argument, you consider someone to be a "right wing racist bigot" by virtue of the act of telling the truth.<BR/><BR/>There are various reasons why I do not see European immigration as posing a similar level of threat to our society as third world immigration.<BR/><BR/>For one thing, from all reports most European immigrants have no intention of staying permanently, which is certainly not the case in respect of third world immigrants.<BR/><BR/>Also, there is the matter of violent crime, there certainly have been some examples of street crime committed by Europeans, but it is minuscule by comparison to that caused by third world immigration, as I said in a post at the weekend whites would have to amassed 252 teenage victims in the first five months of this year to be achieve parity with non-whites in terms their representation within the community.<BR/><BR/>Third world immigration is a far greater threat to our, economy well being and physical safety than European immigration. You may consider that racist, but it is also the truth. <BR/><BR/>SarahSarah Maid of Albionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685494924450312124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-6952112173169817232008-06-04T07:05:00.000-07:002008-06-04T07:05:00.000-07:00A comment on the post on South Africa that you end...A comment on the post on South Africa that you endorsed:<BR/><BR/>Complete guff, and obnoxious unthinking guff at that. Lets go from the top:<BR/><BR/>"But the fact that only about a third of Americans deem it important to vote is horrifying in light of how close you are to losing your Western character."<BR/><BR/>Congressional and parliamentry democracy is only a mediated form of class rule, ie the rule of capital -all competing nations on the world market must allow capital to be reproduced with an accretion of value extracted from the working class, the global class on the global market with no control over the means of production. The nation state itself is a relativelt modern invention, as is the ideology of nationalism, Italy for example was only invented in the 18th century, Germany has been formed and refomred etc as has britain according to the previous power struggles of elites and the location of economic/military power throughout history. Thus the writer is fundamentally misdiagnosing the problems of bourgeois pseudo-democracy and the lack of faith in it, he mistakes form for content, and his nationalism is misplaced. He is alos hypocritical in that the democracy that he says is so valuable in america has no value for other peoples in the world and other nations.<BR/><BR/>"revolution in the streets, strikes, civil unrest and the sheer terror and murder practiced by Nelson Mandela's African National Congress (ANC), the white government simply capitulated in order to achieve "peace." Westerners need peace. They need order and stability. They are builders and planners. But what we got was peace of the grave for our society."<BR/><BR/>Every presently existing society is the product of the prvious revolution. To renounce the cause and product of revolution is to renounce present society's claim to legitimacy, ergo by his own logic the apparteid regime was illegitimate.<BR/> As for westerners being builders and planners, historically speaking for the greates part of history eastern and oriental countries have been the most technologoically and scientifically advanced - the rise of capitalism in the west represents but a bare moment in the scope of actual history. 'Westerners' are not a homogenous group, most westerners are working class, the working class does not exercise class power or even plan society directly in any form, so even reduced to a simple numbers game, his assertion is a nonsense.<BR/><BR/>"Yet Westerners do not admit that the same kind of savagery could come to America when enough immigrants of the right type assert themselves. The fact is, Americans are sitting ducks for Third World exploitation of the Western conscience of compassion."<BR/><BR/>Unhtinking nonsense and her's why. Again the abstract geographical catergory 'westerner' is conjured up, but this is a side point. Africa is a continent of countries with abject economic posistions upon the world market in relation to the established imperialist countries. Many rely upon single commodity cash crops for example because the division of labour on the world market demands it, just as this creates poverty and instability economicalyl and socially, the privatisation of basic public infrastrucure to extract profits only worsens the basic conditions for the greates mass of people even further, in addition to the generally lower levels of pay. It is in these circumstances that the government - the intermediary between the objective economic forces of the world and its own people - must act agaisnt the interests of the people to please capital and maintain their own priveleged posistion. Using this they can buy off the police and army or use privately hired goons to break working class resistance and self-assertion. All these factors, combined with the arbitrary division of nations following colonialsation has created this legacy, it is nothin inherent to a 'people' it is a real material systemic issue. As for other nations going to pot because of immigration - the entire distribution of all peoples on the whole earth is soley the product of the movement of people. America, Britain etc are all nations of immigrants, be it 50, 500 or 5000 years ago.<BR/><BR/>Then a few inconsequential paragraphs of drivel motivated by the bogus assumptions we have deconstructed follow, then...<BR/><BR/>"A television program aired in South Africa showed a town meeting in Southern California where people met to complain about falling standards in the schools. Whites who politely spoke at the meeting clearly resented the influx of Mexican immigrants into their community. When a handful of Chicanos at the back of the hall shouted and waved their hands at them, the whites simply shrunk back into their seats rather than tell the noisemakers to shut up. They didn't want to quarrel."<BR/><BR/>First off - under present circumstances the greater number of persons needing a public service, the more likely the decline in the quality of provision. Duh. However, this has nothing to do with either race or immigration per se, only aspects of their manifestation. Pointing the finger at racial groups and immigrants is only to shoot the messenger if you will. Why is this? Capitalism is a system of artifical scarcity. For example,on technical grounds a planned production of food could, at present, feed every person on the planet, yet millions die from hunger. ARTIFICIAL scarcity. The same goes for a lot of other goods, including education. Its the system that is failing the people, not the other way around. There is no reason why everyone on earth cannot be housed, clothed, fed, educated and be given fulfilling work and leisure in terms of having the existance of productive forced great enough for this task. Also consider, if this argument leaves you unaffected, even from the logic of capitalism itself present levels of immigration are necessary for the sustaining of the rate of profit. Example: If it weren;t for influxes of immigrants into the western nations wages would not have fallen (Real wages have fallen for 30 years regardless of immigration patterns, but we shall leave that for the moment)as they have. Howver, supposing all the gates into the country were shut up, the smaller pool of labour available for purchase on the market would have decreased and subsequently gone up in value, higher wages would have to have been paid, the rate of profit would have dropped, investment slackens, unemployment re-appears, wages fall, revenues decrease, public spending is cut, public services decline in quality. Like I said, the problem is SYSTEMIC, not based upon the freqiencies of the light waves that rebound of a persons epidermis and are captured by the optic nerve. Sorry if this is a surprise to you.<BR/><BR/>"When the "majority" took over "<BR/>Majority should not have inverted commas around it, the majority was real.<BR/><BR/>"What would you think of the ritual slaughter of animals in your neighbor's backyard? How do you clean up the blood and entrails that litter your suburban streets? How do you feel about the practice of witchcraft, in which the parts of young girls and boys are needed for "medicinal" purposes? How do you react to the burning of witches?" <BR/><BR/>Sounds like most of the west only a few hundred years ago! Today of course instead of slaughtering chickens we...slaughter chickens industrially! Instead of witchcraft we have monotheism of various stipes and tarot and hororscopes and medical quacks. And fascists! A society kept in a brutalised state by the workings of the world market and the military economic forces that maintain class rule elements of past societies that are barbaric will live on under conditions of barbarism. Western barbarism is much the same though only at a higher level of development due to its fortunate posistion vis a via the world market since its establishment and so on. We arm the dictarors, we make the landmines, the nuclear bombs, we privatise poor countries industries depriving the poor of water and electicity, the legacy of imperialism etc etc etc. The writer you adore is surely visible as a crank even in your eyes by now!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3373165199675890724.post-30045157554761565172008-06-04T04:11:00.000-07:002008-06-04T04:11:00.000-07:00Being a leftie blogger is easy.
