Current Events » Racism is out of control in the UK right now
After the southport mass killing, comment sections everywhere are full of stuff like "it's not enough just to deport criminals we need to deport all of them"

I'm pretty sick of all of these "concerned" citizens who really think trying to torch a mosque is just a healthy way of getting their grievances out

There's long been a nasty undercurrent of extreme racism in the UK. Stirred up by dogwhistles from far right politicians like Braverman and Farage. Loss of national confidence, and developing inferiority complex ever since the Empire went.

I would exchange every single one of those racist scum for an equivalent number of asylum seekers in a heartbeat.

Has Richard Dawkins joined the racism? Last I heard about that guy he was now claiming to be a cultural Christian because he's sick and tired of the Muslims.

This is basically people who want to go out, smash up their own community, and start a fight with non-whites and/or the police. They aren't fussy.

There's no thought involved beyond a desire for violence and a hated of immigrants. Half the reason these people join far right groups is the opportunity to fight. Many come from football hooligan firms.

Dawkins is a bit past it.

The Southport killer was a British born Christian anyway. Not that it would be better if they were targeting the "correct" group, but they're rioting over rumours they read on Facebook and WhatsApp.

No, but he has been drinking the transphobia kool-aid (even defended Rowling!)
If you track where the misinformation is coming from, it's a Russian troll farm in Moscow.

Scary how easily the Russians can spread fake news and cause riots.
Was the perpetrator even Muslim? The only thing I know about the guy is that he was 17 and born in Cardiff.

They've confirmed British born. Nothing official on religion.

But these people just want to beat up brown people and fight the police. It's not like they really give a shit about the murdered kids, or who did it.
'Vinyl is the poor man's art collection'.
it's disgusting how blatant it is that these hooligans don't actually give a single shit about the girls who were killed in southport, they just want an excuse to violently protest against the new "woke" labour government or whatever.

Honestly, I've seen a really troubling wave of racism spreading across europe in general. You can find a TON of comments about the "invaders" taking their land, a longing for the glory days, and several other dogwhistles.

I like metal, and some European metal bands are straight up breeding grounds for this kinda stuff.

To be fair, America was the ones who had a whole civil war over it... and then forgave the racist weirdo losers instead of putting them all to the wall. Oh, and this came well after Britain basically said "yeah, so slavery is kinda bad, how about no."

Mind you, Britain didn't prop up its economy by importing slave workers to pick cotton from seafaring kidnappers who, alongside their landside native associates, kidnapped people from Africa. So maybe it was easier for them to point and say "ew, slavery bad." whilst shuffling slightly to hide all the colonialism behind their back or something.

Racism is a big (probably the biggest) weakness of many of these countries.
http://www.youtube.com/user/san3711
racism has been normalised in the media for years. the immiseration of the population by wage suppression and declining living standards, increasing poverty/inequality, declining health conditions etc all leads to rising anger, frustration, resentment and animosity in society which needs a place to go. the "elites" are scared of becoming a target for public anger and have to direct it towards immigrants, ethnic minorities, other minorities, poor people etc. scapegoating by the media and political classes.

when you have a poor, downtrodden, and illtreated working class angry at inequality and political corruption and who face bleak economic prospects and no future, for the ignorant and uneducated its just easier to take out your anger on Muslims, immigrants and black people.

the rise of the far-right in the UK and across Europe is indeed worrying. but it's being fed from the top by those in power who control the public narrative and who want to divert, distract and deflect public anger away from the real issues and causes of peoples suffering.

Racism is a symptom not the cause. The real weakness is political corruption/dysfunction, and a weakening state that has been increasingly captured by the wealthy and powerful.

Not that I'm excusing it but Americas whole economy was based around it. You ain't gonna get people to give something up so easily when it's allowed them to have the easy life.

But that's the past america has denounced slavery a long time ago. Yeah racism still exists here but it does a lot of other places too.

Hell slavery still exists in the world but does anybody care? Of course not.

I guess in the context of the topic is UK is being really racist and someone saying we learned it from ya'll implied otherwise but I could very well be mistaken.

but variations of "we learned it from watching you" is a classic line whenever an American needs to counter a Brit complaining about the US

I think, while racism is just more visible in America, people can sometimes forget that Europe is probably more racist on the whole, it's just not brought up as much.
Strongly disagree. Europe is going through a peak of racism right now, but it's not institutional here the way it is in the US

Maybe an exception would be racism against the Romani people. We have a lot of catching up to do there

These alt-right conservatives chose to support Putin years ago. He then invaded Syria and caused millions of refugees to swarm westward to intentionally destabilize Europe.

Think we are talking just racism. there is a little bit of a difference between racism and institutionalized racism. Simple racism is just about the actual people and not the laws regarding it.
