Guy walking through darkest Derry (up you, tbbab) when he feels a blade at his throat and a voice from behind him in his ear

"Ur ye a Prodestunt ur a Cath'lic?"

The guy's mind's racing. If he says he's a Prod and the knife-wielder is a lunatic tim, he's going to be breathing through his throat. But if he say's he's a Paape and the guy is a DOB, he's equally fvcked. He has an idea.

"Neither, mate! I'm Jewish!"

"Jaysus," says the voice "Ah'm the luckiest Palestinian in the town".

I make no apologies for the accent.

If my life is privileged cos I’m white id hate to see it if I was not
---------------------------------------------------------------------

1 example...When your looking for a holiday, what factors do you think of, sun, sand , location, food, bars etc..

I can guarantee that you guys don't have to research how racist the country that your going to is, and then make you decisions around that too.
That is what we have to do for ANY new destination we would like to see,

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not strictly true. I've been warned about going to countries that would be dangerous for me as a white man.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Ireland, for starters lol.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Would you holiday in the UK or is it on your 'to dangerous for a black person to holiday in' destination?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah, I've had numerous holidays in the UK.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So what countries are too dangerous and how do you source the information to form your opinion of them?.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm not listing countries for u, just so u can try to support some silly ideal that you have that I'm making these things up or something and all the countries around the world are all good for everyone.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not asking you to list Countries,as I'm sure you have a list of no go countries like I do.But I'm asking how you gleaned the information and where the sources reliable?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Some friends have been to various places, history, how many ethnic people are in that place, incidents of racism, and common sense too..u kinda know when your not welcome somewhere.

Afternoon.

You spoke of seeing white Irish in Dublin being racially abused by black people, but if you do not wish to go there, I understand.

Black guys tried to rob me first week in Brixton, 35 years ago and a white Scottish mate was battered by a black guy, just randomly walking down a road in Kendmsington...not sure either wete racist, but other way around???

At Notting hill carnival, i saw black gangs, steaming in as it was called, targetting white couples for robbery, so is that racist and dangerous to be white there?

In America, my brother and sister were abused racially on a bus.

Parts of the middle East, Africa, And north and south America are dangerous for pale faces....for racial and political and robbery reasons.

Unconscious bias training?

Remember at work in central belfast, hearing about a young homeless drunk spiced up bloke begging in city hall area, then racially abusing a passer by....for no reason other than different race.

Or a guy from Syria who worked with my wife, losing his brother to a knife attack in Belfast, after fleeing here for safety from Isis and war.

Cannot argue with that, lad...as a white bloke in 98% white NI, I have not walked in your shoes.

Believe me, I genuinely detest racists and racism and when I post here about the topic, it is in relation to a certain political narrative, often emanating from white so called academics and intellectuals.

It is not against people based on skin tone.

There are not many black or Asian people here, but there are more people of colour around now, and just as when I lived in Brixton or Hounslow, I treat people as people, no matter who or what they are.

We are all equal under God, imo.

It means you will 99 times out of 100 be given the benefit of the doubt over a black person, that’s all.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Not from my experience but I’m not black and haven’t lived my life as a black person
I do though want to boot the mopey academic who recently said we are “all racist” right in her hole
If she’s trying to ride a bandwagon fair enough
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well I’m telling you, that’s how it goes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Zach is as left wing as Che, so when he calls out those labelling all white folk as a homogenous racist and privileged bloc, time to step back and smell coffee, imo
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well far too many are, so fix your own community before lecturing anybody else’s.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fix my community or people in NI...have you got a century?

I do not regard or define myself as white or part of a white community, tbh.

I was just born this way.
