Perceptions Of Racism...

Post by **Oscar Namechange** » Thu Mar 22, 2012 12:04 pm

This Is a poem written by a British Citizen.

It has become the subject of complaint by Khalid Mahmood (Lab Perry Barr) who said he was furious after a draft copy of a report, commissioned by Birmingham City Council, contained poems Including this one.

Here's the poem: Now without googling, what sort of person do you think wrote this ?

From Handsworth Cemetery.

From Handsworth Cemetery his parents see

The population change from Black and White

And seem to ask him what this place would be

Should he go out and up not looking back.

These people take the homes, the clubs the shops

And vote their man Into their council seat

But how can selling fruit and veg or knitted tops

Afford them flashy Mercs. We know they cheat.

We were here first. This Is our place

We fought for all those equal laws which they now use

Where Is our share? Where are the jobs they ought to give our kids?

But No, these people choose to spend the funds and profit on their gold

And flights to where they'll die when they get old.

I don't normally get this deep so early in the evening.

The answer could yes or no, there is no definitive answer.

I shall fall back onto my first answer....

Afro Caribbean probably. Black/asian racism is far worse than white/black you still get the blacks are an inferior race argument, mind you i know a few indian/pakistani asians that think that of white people. Paki bashing was often black on - well pakis. Hundu wouldn't work with muslim because they were generally inferior castes that were attracted to it. Nigerians looked down on everybody. Racism is not a purely white european phenomenon.

You are spot on gmc.... The author Is Afro/Caribbean and his poem Is about Muslims.

It was written after the Birmingham riots.

OK i cheated slightly and looked it up to make sure I was right.

The more things change the more they stay the same.

The British Race Riots of 1919

Racism in the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In Norman-controlled England and Wales, the English and Welsh were considered an underclass whose men were forbidden to marry into Norman families

We were here first. This Is our place!! Did you know the word wales has it's origins in an anglo saxon word for foreigner or stranger. Ironic or what? What does ethnic british really mean?

Instead of chav or schemey (council housing estate inhabitant) try peasant or working class scum. Are working class tory voters race traitors sucking up to their conquerors? Bend over boys the tories are in power.

The word 'identity' appears in the title because the BNP believes in genuine ethnic and cultural diversity and the right of all peoples to be free of colonisation and rule by others — including the indigenous people of these islands."

"The BNP is committed to putting the interests of the British people first. I invite you to review our policies and make your choice."

Nick griffin is himself the child of immigrants and now one of the colonial elite living in wales on land taken from the indigenous peoples - it's safe to assume they didn't say they didn't hand the country over willingly. When he leaves wales and gives his property back to the welsh I'll maybe start taking him seriously when he prattles on about the rights of indigenous britons.

The BNP message and website Is out-dated. Griffin had long since changed his tune from English to ' Indigenous European' as criteria. He just forgot to tell the people who write for him.
