    A number of years ago now, there was a big push to try and get more coloured police officers - I think it was in Birmingham?.

    Anyway, qualifying standards have always been extremely high, so they relaxed the rules if you were coloured - and took on 70 or 80 new coloured officers with a huge blaze of publicity.

    Within 12 months every single one had been quietly sacked, had resigned, or even been jailed, as many of them were commiting criminal acts.

    This isn't really about race or colour, but it's about having different rules and requirements based on the colour of your skin - if they had relaxed the rules for whites, I'm sure the same would have happened!.

    I can't remember seeing anything anit-black/hispanic/christian on this forum.

    There may have been a debate in which certain religions were criticised pretty harshly but I haven't seen anything really hateful.

    Please post links to the threads where you have seen this.

    Although the BAMN are entitled to their own opinion, they can GTFO as far as I'm concerned as they seem anti-white.

    I do not answer private messages asking for help because no one else can: benefit from advice I may give or correct me if I'm wrong.

    Please ask on the open forum if you have a question and I'll be happy to help,
    if I know the answer.

    In Canada most crimes are committed by blacks. The jails are full of blacks.
    They are a small percentage of the population but a huge percentage of criminals. They all seem to be armed.

    There are very few Mexicans or Cubans in Canada. We don't hate them.
    Most of Canada is Christian. We don't hate each other.

    I don't see much in the way of hate. What I see is a tendency to make a choice which is comfortable rather than one which is difficult. I do see a deep suspicion of governments, especially the ones that feel the need to tell their citizens what they must do and how they must feel. I can't imagine that goes over very well anywhere, regardless of weather people feel they can express themselves or not.

    I believe the voters of the state of Michigan took a pricipled stand against a government that presumed to tell them how to act and feel.

    I think discrimination law stops statistics of the colour of skin of criminals. I see blacks on the news every night, arrested or wanted by the police. Usually for shootings.

    Maybe they become criminals because of their poverty in Canada, the US and in their home country.

    Many members here are Christian. I would suspect that many are also black, Hispanic, Indian, and there are at least a couple of Sri Lankans, and so on.

    Where do you get this "hate" baloney?

    According to Freakanomics, the book, the average street corner dealer is living at home with his mom and making less than minimum wage so it is impossible to escape economic exploitation even in your own neighborhood.

    There are probably websites for people to chat about how different they are from each other:
    I am rich, you are poor.
    I eat seafood and steak, you eat bugs and worms.
    I watch high definition wide and huge screen TV, you watch your electricity being turned off.
    I live in a big home and have a nice car. You live in a cardboard box and ride a bicycle.

    Listen it really is colorless and ignorance has no color. I have not seen anything yet that should allow you to jump to any conclusion.

    It's their perspective and theirs alone your living in a country that supports having an opinion. And that's OK in my book. Your passions are good we need more people who give a crap. Most just die away in apathy. These people have a voice and are using it with the reasoning, experience, knowledge and informed opinions nothing more nothing less.

    Just as complex as electronics is, So is the world and all the problems people wish to add to it. It is not as cut and dried as one would expect it. Looking outside your perspective and into other's they have an equally difficult time of maintaining their life as you do yours.

    This happens at every level every stratus you can paint the world what ever color you want to and not see if you don't want. To be weak or strong and live as you want. Some in this world only wish they had your life where you live. Stop pointing the finger at other people and begin to see what you have to bring to the party think of nothing else.

    And that goes equally to those around you cause they (not you) have to be willing to live outside their current box and see.

    It's when you put a Gun in your hand and force me to believe it or die that's another. God forbid.

    (Affirmative Action is for the weak) Most educated people know that it is through the raising of the mind comes true strength.
