How lovely to find a thread full of the milk of human kindness ! What a bunch of hypocrites you all (most) are. You're happy to be bigots on account of a person's skin colour, - but if anyone dares to suggest that you are 'inferior' due to being, thick or gay or McScrooge, or practise incest or whatever, you get all mopey and accuse others of racism !

I can accept that not many people of a dark skin colour have all the necessary qualities to be selected as police officers (apparently), I'm not sure why ! -- just as I'm not sure why they seem to excel as athletes.

The colour of a person's skin does not make them superior, or indeed, inferior. We cannot all be Einsteins or Bolts. We all have different characteristics - good and bad - they are what makes each of us individual. We should be 'judged' on our own merits - not for the sins of a minority of others. I have no problem with people disliking my faults - but, my faults - just like your faults, are not compounded by the colour of my skin.

Bit rich coming from one of the most misogynistic posters on the forum - or is that bigotry a different type and therefore excusable? <doh>

There is no difference with any form of bigotry.
I said in my previous post that people should be 'judged' on their own merits ( not skin colour ). That doesn't mean that criticism cannot be given. I dearly love my wife, and respect all my female friends - but - that doesn't mean that they are immune from teasing. My 'misogynistic style' posts have either related to an incident worthy of 'teasing / criticism', or to highlight incidents in the media that [unfortunately], involve women ( or men, as the case may be ).

I thought you were a wummin <rofl>

****y prick
 
The thing about not judging people on their skin colour or religion etc is you have to take the time to get to know them them before judging, which is a ****ing ballache. I find it a lot easier to judge people on skin colour or religion, hence the reason I don't generally like blacks or taigs.

OK - Whilst I do not exactly like your method of judgement - at least you're being honest. I sincerely hope you are not judged in like fashion - I can't help feeling that all this 'style' of treating 'thy neighbour' is the thin end of the wedge in relation to all that is wrong in the World.

I'm not that fussed how people judge me to be honest.
 
I was in the fish shop the other day and the guy in front of me had a cod under his arm and asked the fishmonger if he had any fishcakes. The fishmonger said no and the guy in front of me, pointing at his fish said, oh that's a shame, it's his birthday today <party>
