To me she came across as extremely racist and sexist herself.
Neil and Portillo showed up her many offensive claims to be entirely baseless, while the joker Ed Balls just stared deeply into her eyes and nodded sympathetically.

she talked a load of tosh

Glad somebody else saw it. She came across as a truly horrible person.

By:
A complete oddball.

I watched that. She had her opinion and issues, and no amount of facts would dissuade her, so she just kept digging a deeper hole for herself.
Who could have thought that a black transexual might have felt alienated at school? The fact she has had negative experiences does not mean we are all unfixable racists. |

It could be worse, she could be living in a different country.

didn't come across that well...........when they told her white people were least likely to go to uni she didn't know what to say.............
|
|
By:
So why does a person with such poisonous opinions receive air time ? Because it is challenging ?
|
|
By:
It was hard to watch at times, the gulf in intellect between her and Neil/Portillo made for cringeworthy viewing.

By:
she basically thought every white person was racist but she was proud of being british

Her whole argument when pressed seems to be based on her own personal experience which as you suggest is quite unique. She was happy to bring up the violence that happened in building the Empire but wouldn't accept the violence in black peoples history was relevant. |

Suggesting the UK is inherently racist is just silly given the way that immigrants were not just accepted but welcomed into our country in the 50s, 60s, and 70s and even the 80s. What has happened since is a certain group having caused resentment by their refusal to accept the British culture whilst trying to force theirs on us.

Andrew Neil could have mentioned this. Other papers covered it but I'll put the link to the "right wing" independent.
It's absolutely horrific, even in the middle ages I don't think Europeans did anything this evil: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/africa/congo-woman-raped-luego-video-kamuina-nsapu-beheaded-serving-fish-a7993026.html That's black people doing that to black people, and that sort of thing is not uncommon, look at all the mad religious groups over that way. |

The ironic thing is this person is probably a model as this person has light skin ! For this person to say white people were the most violent and dangerous species on the planet was in itself racist ! (I have referred to this individual as "this person" so as not to upset any of the more sensitive souls on here)

By:
It was most depressing seeing this person parroting hate speech which has no relevance to the present in this country. It is alarming to think that these beliefs are likely to be prevalent among the younger generations and are probably being taught to the young by those who should know better and some with malicious intent.

As a matter of interest how old are you Akabula? |

I had a Chinese Canadian lady here yesterday, a writer. She has lived in London for a good part of the last decade, and now resides in Paris. She cannot believe how much the race card is used in this country and in her experience there is little racism here compared to many countries, including France. There are food establishments near her home which will only serve her take out food and drink, her Black American flatmate has actually been refused service altogether. I doubt this could happen here any more.

Saddo,
If this person is a writer why doesn't she name and shame these restaurants? Ask her what they are called please! |
|
By:
have we any examples of racism in Britain?
|
|
By:
little racism compared to other countries is maybe correct but still not good
we dont want to be a bit less fascist than germany nor a bit less totalitarian than venezuela no idea what the woman was doing on tv nevermind a semi serious politics program she seemed to be given a spot to rant , maybe bbc is looking for tweets .... |

Dianne Abbott |

By:
someone on tv said diane abbott suffered over half of the abuse sent to mp,s at the election because she,s a black women,absolute garbage abbott has a list as long as your arm before her colour or genda become an issue to some people
1,pathetic at her job 2,promoted beyond belief 3,hypocrit ,private school etc 4,racist towards white people 5,thick as wood 6,liar 7.etc,etc |
|
By:
Indeed, it is natural that horrible people attract more abuse than less horrible ones.
|
|
By:
this new world is all foreign to me,but is it actually possible to be sexist to a trans genda person,you,d have to abuse men and women at the same time wouldn't you
|

By:
on the plus side I bet the women,man,tranny,coloured,black person on this week or whichever way she likes to be addressed doesn't have to turn down to many party invites at xmas,imagine getting stuck in a corner with that

He/she is part of a powerful PC clique which is determined to turn your life upside down in rather short time, do not underestimate them.

what are the restaurants called that turned away those two women in Paris? |
|
By:
You clearly disbelieve what I wrote Whisperingdeath, I can do nothing about that. I would not insult the lady by questioning her so.

These restaurants should not get away with it. Ask her saddo! Why would it be insulting to ask her?

This country is a great country to live in whatever your country of origin or religious persuasion. I would feel safer here than anywhere in the world.

always makes me chuckle when anyone from the LGBT community has a pop abut racism.
when in fact the LGBT community is absolutely rife with racism itself. staggering levels of racism actually. |
|
By:
It wasn't good enough for her/him/that that white people weren't racist, white people had to go one step
further and prove they weren't racist! A truly vile creature he/she/that was |
|
By:
or whatever your sexual bent!
This is a most tolerant country even with so much intolerance! |
|
By:
People sometimes confuse intolerance with dislike. They can force people to tolerate almost anything, they can never force people to like something.
