Wow it's catching, I wonder who this phantom video camera man is, perhaps it's all a set-up by a certain newspaper?

[joko]

i wonder if she'd have done the same thing if the people had been blond haired blue eyed germans speaking german...?

[atrollope]

Thank you for your concern AOG...but we have Broad Shoulders..unlike those neurotic Southern Softies

By the way, it is nice to see the news section of AB back to it's enjoyable and debatable self.

Are you all enjoying your day off, much better to have the free use of your own computer, by a nice warm fire, than looking over one's shoulder in case the boss catches you.

Can I ask where everyone is getting the idea that this clip is 2 years old? I copied and pasted the link from the DM to watch the video on Youtube and it says there that the clip was uploaded today. I know that doesn't mean it was filmed today but I just can't figure out how you know it is from 2009.

My guess is no, maybe if she had a large group of intoxicated skinheaded friends possibly, but when the skins before her is brown and the language undecipherable you'll find that these neanderthals just cannot contain their rage whether their alone or have a child on their lap and then all hell breaks loose even when a large camera is paraded right before their eyes.

Why they can never see the camera is a mystery, maybe if the camera was painted brown and had an unfamiliar language coming from the mic/speaker the aggressor would notice it and then launch an intoxicated attack on it.

'Large Camera'???????

Haven't you come across the video capture part of the mobile phone yet?

[emmie]

Paul, well start with the Middle East, Israel. China puts down any one who dissents on their rule, America kills some of it's own citizens, in the death houses of the penal system. Or leaves them to rot in prison. Tribal allied to religious warfare, in just about every corner of the globe. France has a problem so it seems with it's ethnic community, ask President Sarkhozy, India, Pakistan at loggerheads, Iran hates the west, so where else. Land grabs by Russia, China, across the African countries, for it's natural resources, then add more trouble in America with Mexico, and their border problems, sadly the list is endless. It may not all be war, but as good as, and i don't see that changing any day soon.

"'Large Camera'???????

Haven't you come across the video capture part of the mobile phone yet?"

That should've read "Large Mobile phone" as a large percentage of smart phones these days are quite large and are hard to hide whilst videoing someone from 1-2 feet away unless you're severely intoxicated and are focused on attacking others verbally instead of what's right under your nose, literally.

while us lovely Brits sit back and drink tea eh Em!?

[emmie]

Paul, not quite, but apart from the conflicts we are embroiled in, courtesy of our leaders past and present, we aren't at war.

[emmie]

it would be coffee at any rate.

[mightyWBA]

I would suggest anybody who thinks it's only this country that contains racist people should brush up on their World history and gain a knowledge of current goings on in many places around the Earth.
I reckon we escape lightly on our little island..Just seem to enjoy beating ourselves up and always running ourselves down.
Peace and love x

[pa___ul3]

and why are we embroiled in it? Because we're lead to believe by the big boys in charge that it's right.. when it probably isn't. How many of those other countries you've listed probably think what they're doing is right.. when it probably isn't.
It's like you're intent on blaming everyone else "perhaps we could do that, then look at the rest of the world, trying to kill one another, over religion, land, you name it." We're as much at fault, as a nation, so if we want to try and reach this lovely harmonious society we have to do whatever we can do. Let's just start with a little tolerance of people from other countries who are doing what they can to make their lives better.

[Monkeyfun]

True mighty wba, i have seen racist from all across the globe from black, white asian, middle eastern directed at each other and others.

Racism is most certainly a global disease.

Me and others though whilst being concerned with global racism are at the moment concerned with the racism that is affect us at the moment in "our house"

Just as charity should begin at home, racism should be reported and erased here before we go on to help others with their racism.

[emmie]

we are embroiled, against the wishes i might add of most sensible people, but politicians know best, well that is what we keep being told. We elect them, and hope that they do a good job, but don't blame ordinary citizens for the mess around the globe, their own governments have a major part to play in this. And when there is tolerance from all sides then i would say job done.

[Monkeyfun]

Or maybe a simultaneously approach could be implemented.

I don't have the answers though have a few ideas.

[emmie]

two sides of the same coin, being called a white b**ch and more besides, for dating a black man, words from a black woman to me, some years ago, but you know it still rankles. And thank heaven you see much of that dying out, no matter what the press says,

[pa___ul3]

that's exactly what I'm trying to say Em, we can only do this from an individual level, and by treating 'them' as individuals. As soon as we start doing that racism / homophobia etc becomes impossible. It should be that simple!

[emmie]

Paul, if it were that simple, then it would get done, but it isn't, nor will it ever be.
