I have every right to comment on race, even more so, me being an elderly white man you understand?
I have lived in era when our country was almost a totally White Christian country.
That was before WW2 when thankfully the Americans came into the war.
Yes and would you believe it that both white and Black Americans were not fully taken to the hearts of the population at that time, 'over here and overpaid was the cry' and going off with 'our boy's' wives and girlfriends, it was the money and the free nylons that attracted some of our less virtuous females.
But it was also the mixture of cultures that was alien to our British culture and lifestyle.
When the war ended and most of our visitors had gone back home taking with them their 'GI Brides' the country reverted back to the British way of life, until of course when the time came and the Jamaicans arrived on a permanent and regular basis.
Their culture and lifestyle was again completely alien to us just the same as was the Gypsies etc, yes it seems almost horrific now, but some did put up those racist notices 'No Blacks, No Gypsies, No Irish, No dogs.
The word Racism had not been invented in those days, people were just naturally concerned, as are some against the rise of Islam today, when that other word was invented, Islamophobic.
Perhaps we should now be concerned about those that still put up notices 'No Dogs' perhaps we should now invent a word such as Dogophobic to describe these dog haters? //
An admirable discourse, perhaps a bit overlong and ranty, and off the thrust of the thread, but still, never mind.

I wouldn't disagree for a second - which is probably why I didn't say that you don't have that right.
If you want to slug it out with me about things I have said, then by all means bring it right on - but do me a favour, don't attack and then lecture me for a post that is not mine.
You need to refer your diatribe to Zacs, it was his post at 14:24 that mentioned your observations about race - so go and whine at him why don't you.
