Tom Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 It is surely no coincidence that the most significant person who came from Tamworth was one Sir Robert Peel. He was of course the man who found it necessary to invent the police who were then nicknamed "bobbies" in recognition of this act Hate to contradict you (I don't, I get off on it), but Peelypoos is from Bury in Lancashire, he was MP for Tamworth though. He founded the Met Police in 1829 and became MP of Tamworth in 1830. Went to see his statue after the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Do The Dziekanowski Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Well it is stating the obvious and probably JET couldn't give 2 shits if someone called him black, But the argument is there that if you are pointing out someone's colour in an obvious derogatory way then it is racist. If someone shouted ahhh you're white at me I wouldn't care, but I'm not sure it's quite the same thing. Anyway don't want to get into a discussion about what's racist and what's not as it's been done to death before... That's what confuses me about racism, How isn't someone using your skin colour as an offence not racist, If someone said Ahh you're white, Meaning for it to be offensive then that is racist Just like not hiring someone because of there skin colour, Anyway it's wrong whatever the matter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opeth67 Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 Well I would certainly not hire someone if their skin colour was wrong. I mean how would someone with a blue face be accepted by the rest of the workforce? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eco Posted December 12, 2013 Report Share Posted December 12, 2013 So because Mandela died racial abuse towards whites is ok this week? If you could explain this, that would be peachy. Cheers. Because last time I looked - abuse to anyone regarding their skin colour is racist. Let me know when that changed please. Thanks. Have whites ever been treated like the non whites were in the apartheid state that was SA, I don't think so ! Would be interested to know where whites have suffered racial discrimination.

Would be interested to know where whites have suffered racial discrimination. Maybe not SA, but on our own doorstep ! How many muggings have occured over the years in the St. Pauls area where small groups of black guys have robbed and beaten single white guys...that always seemed racialy motivated to me !

Aizoon Posted December 13, 2013 Report Share Posted December 13, 2013 Racisms OK if they all shake hands afterwards. According to Blatter anyway... Right. If I had any doubts, that puts me straight. Blatter is one of those who acts as a moral compass, in that you know the right is the opposite of what HE says. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
