    “I'm so dumb that your argument has lost me, I'm afraid I can't follow what the hell you're on about.
    I don't believe I'm racist, racism is for 'thick' people. However, I am not multi-cultural. I don't want people in this country who think it's reasonable to throw acid into someone's face, because they think they've been dishonoured. I don't want people who think it's acceptable to circumcise their daughter just for the sexual gratification of some dirty old f...er from, typically, Africa. I don't want someone that thinks it's OK for some old hag to beat the son's new wife, just because she won't do as she's told by a bullying mother in law...send 'em all home, for me.
    As for racist, redneck Hull, just count the red arrows and the attached comments and make your own mind up. Racism is Racism.”

    “You've sounded a bit dumb there JayOnly by saying racism is racism, then trying to equate the killings you speak of abroad with someone calling someone nasty horrible names!

    Only in every White country is so much publicity and resources allocated to the word 'racist'. I've discovered It is just part of the process of White geNOcide.
    I've learnt that is why anti-racist is simply a code word for anti-White”

    “Racism is Racism, no matter where it occurs but if you want to see 'top class' racism, go to Russia, Poland, Ukrain, loads of people in those places will kill a black guy as soon as look at him. Some, not all, Africans will kill each other for being from the wrong village.. Only last week a feller from, I think Zambia, was killed by being dragged behind a police vehicle...that's racism”

    “I was once overcharged in a taxi, when I complained due it being far more than normal fare the driver said "you are racist"!
    A lot of them know it is a word that makes us cower, many of us do or accept anything to avoid the label. I think it is wearing a bit thin nowadays though.

    It is no wonder I keep hearing the saying;
    anti racist is just a code word for anti white (or something like that)”

    “I once told an Eastern European chappie to either control his dog or go home with it, after it became agressive towards mine. He went on to phone the police on grounds of racism? I think it must have been the 'go home' bit. Nothing happened but it does beg the question as to whether this reaction is the card to pull if ever in trouble. The police are bound to react upon it.”

    “Why does every attack involving people of different skin colour have to have a racist motive? Here is a thought, perhaps their was a previous altercation and/or they just don't like each other - race card, the misused joker in the pack.”

    “I don't like the line 'police are keen to trace the group due to the racist nature of the abuse'

    The police should be catching all the bad guys, whatever their motivation. This crime is assault pure and simple. This positive discrimination and race spin only makes matters worse.”

    “stupid headline...racism played no part in this incident other than a gang of bored thugs using words to intimidate.if it was a white person they decided to abuse they would have used equally disgusting behaviour and words to try to get a reaction.i am english and was called a white B****RD by a gang of black youths in london.they were not racist,just trying to get a reaction.please HDM,grow-up and stop playing the race card.”
