I found this blog reading of falafels. I read about 5 of your prior posts thus far. It is very interesting. I hope you don’t mind my opinion on the above article…
I think those offended by remarks considered “racist” take equal responsibility in perpetuating the absurd, with those making the remarks. Indeed their position becomes quite suspicious when the remarks are not directed towards them yet they “sympathize” with to whom the remarks may be addressed. Clearly “white people” do not exist. Nor do “brown people”. Expressing sympathy for one because they are offended by a statement that doesn’t make sense is like taking sides for no reason. I don’t understand this. The term ‘racism’ has remained undefined for quite some time for the individual. Why would the individual reduce themselves to a term used for simplifying a world filled with free beings, into groupings for studies that can only be used as statistical curiosities. It is as though someone had insulted “your” sports team. Quite a few drinks would have to precede offense being taken. Unless you’re not very clear-headed to begin with…

I didn’t know that! Very interesting. Regardless, it’s kind of irrelevant to the actual point of this piece.

Ah, the wonderful Telegraph. The Telegraph who’s criminal (former) proprietor Conrad Black let his wife Barbara Amiel spew her Israeli nonsense, and Melanie Phillips put pen to paper to slur every non-white face she could find – especially if they happen to be Muslim. Londonistan is the name of her book. She’s another one of the “Britain is being colonised by these immigrants” school of thought. It’s a shame she and her friend McDonough are too thick to realise that many of the Somalis of west London who she crosses the road to avoid were born in the UK. But they’re brown, so clearly they can’t be British.

“We want a place we can call our own, be ourselves, and want the right of self-determination – is that a familiar mantra? The problem when it comes out of the mouths of whites it’s racist.”

Wow. Just wow. Seriously – I’ve heard these sentences come out of the mouths of the BNP’s fascist thugs, almost word for word. (We want a homeland, a place to call our own.) McDonough, you’re in good company.

Ah, what Ms. McDonough is apparently missing is that nobody is telling the white folks to not reproduce, not have babies. They have the same freedom in this regard as the Somali women! :)
