I am a filmmaker - can you explain how the IRA putting a car bomb outside the BBC in white city is not targeting civilians? In the movie the hybrid terrorist group do give the police a warning telephone call like the IRA did. Do you think one terrorist cause is more noble than the other? The Irish actor in my film, grew up with the muslim actor and they were friends that is where the idea came from. Of course there would be an issue of trust, if this was episode of 24 you would not say a thing
The IRA came back about three months ago and killed a police man etc, and then everyone said "Oh Man, you were right on with your movie, and you had a black PM and then Obama came into office. This is fiction not reality, but sometimes muslims and people of other faiths go to the same schools, play for the same sports teams, even grow up together as friends, so who is to say that IRA and another terrorist group might not join forces, what if they did?" - What If - is what movies are made of....
I'm from Northern Irelnad, I can I tell you for sure that Al-Queda & the Irish Republican Army share absolutely nothing in common. The IRA never targeted civilians, never suicide bombed & their actions were not in the name of a holy war but for the freedom of a nation.
what obama did by offending the british primeminister is spit in the eye of every british person inculding every black british citiszen (& i can say this as a black person myself ) hate us too?? do you mr Obama ???? i thought George Bush was bad & he was, but this ????? aahh to the hells with him : (
I can think of many other African-Americans I would have preferred to have as our president. This guy is will be a disaster for this country. The hypocrisy, arrogance, and incompetence this guy brings to the table will take decades to recover from. While I am proud that our country elected a black man (I always knew we are not, in general, a racist nation), I regret that we were not wise enough to elect a man that would truly be a great leader for all americans, not just those he approves of.
we dont need a black prime minister what we need is a good leader no matter what race he/she is .
when i vote i look at policys not skin and im not goin to vote any black man or women because the americans did it and its all of a sudden all the craze
The dvd's that Obama gave the British Premier were: Big Momma's House Richard Pryor Live Roots Shaft Malcolm X Ali Carwash Do the Right Thing The Sound of Music Shindler's List The Wiz Coming to America
Obama might as well have spit in the Prime Minister's face! This demonstrates the sick liberal mentality that hates the British because they are our strongest allies in the War on Terror...
Ha ha. I'm British and I know that both the US and Britain are modern societies, none of which could be considered racist. Racists are in the minority in both countries. I'm white but would not even consider a person's skin colour if they ran for election in the UK. We would not only be ready for an Obama, we would embrace someone was charasmatic as him.
Britain is ready for a Prime Minister with good policies and strong, fair leadership. I care not for your question on the title of this video, it has no relevance.
this is all a conspiricy thts wat ther wanting america and england to be a black run country well im sorry but i dont want one tht doesnt mean im racist it means i just dont want one
not really wat if a white wanted to run na black country ? wud tht be racist if all the balcks said we dont want a white man to run us wud tht be racist?
actually it is a perfect example so tbh i dont know wer u got tht from but i dont want to argue with u so im gunna respect ur opinion and hopefully ull respect mine and i hope i didnt cause offence to u personally
y do we need a black priminister they can hardly run ther own country for god sake do u honestly think they will let a white run ther country africa was booming wen the whites wer in charge just look at it now
im from london and black AND i can say that GB is ready for a black prime minister. people dont care that much about race, yeah there is the odd 1 or 2 racist outta the 100 but thats it.
we're not like them other european countries that treat the black population like SHITTTT so is GB ready... YES, we are a racially blind nation in comparison to others meanin we dont care about ur nationality and no1 here cares about that 3% black thing(btw)
I think youre forgetting, that London is heavily populated with ethnic minorities, so you really wont find it there. The rest of the UK is not like that, and I think people underestimate racist's in the UK (their is alot more than you think)
Ahahaha!!! How can anyone ever take you seriously! You say we're racist because of a Spanish woman not winning a talent competition. By the way, a black woman won the series in the end - you dunce. Have you listened to all the black people from within our country who they themselves say how tolerant the UK is? You are absolutely clueless and up your own arse - why should anyone take your opnion seriously!
Whatever. You're wrong and I'm right. I should take that old advise: never argue with an idiot. Though I'm pissing my pants that as soon as you elect a black president, in a country renowned for racism, you feel able to wildly accuse the most tolerant country there is of racism, when you know shit because you're an insular American - YOU DON@T EVEN LIVE HERE so how the feck can you judge us?
am not an idiot am telling the truth if GB is not racist how come USA MYSTERIOUSLY always beat GB in breaking the race barieer the first black always comes from USA
Black PM?? who cares about colour (as long as its not a paki) If someone is doing the right thing for british people then so what people should be elected for what they can bring and what they world do to make this country great again. Someone who repects the british way of life and our religion/ ways. This country needs someone like that now someone who will stop all this PC and multicultra shit. Britian need it identity back.
and to be honest a black leader which would have faced a lot of shit from the upper classes and came thru it stronger wud be a much better leader than these stupid upper class twits we get! not that colour should play a part..if your a good leader your a good leader it should be left at that!
britian is way more ready than america..im not just saying that but im white and it wouldnt bother me nor any other of my white mates but i am from a multi racial city so maybe this attitude doesnt extend to people in small villages or people from yorkshire(lol)
A year ago I would have said it would be impossible to see someone black in the highest office of government but now It's possible. You can't just choose someone because their black obviously. The reason Obama won was because he was recognized for his leadership abilities, he was smart, educated, ran a brilliant campaign and knew what he was doing. When it comes right down to it it's not what someone looks like it's if they can guide the country.
This is all nonsense if a Black man or Woman stood up and had the right policies that convinced the media then they would be elected. You seem to forget that the Media play an important hand in politics these days, Blair benefited by the Murdock press switching it's support to him. As someone said it was not that long a go that a Scottish PM would have been a no no. Also 30 years ago a woman was elected as PM that was also considered a no no once.
Of course media plays a part. OBAMA and his team were smart enough to realise this and he made sure that he globalised his campaign by using the media, the internet, his website and facebook etc.
icollins69 said he would probably abstain from voting in an election in which a good black candidate stood, and his opponent was a bad white candidate. This is also an issue because a lot of people PROBABLY change when they are alone in the ballot box and change their vote for a bad white candidate.
GB as a whole cant have a black prime minister they just dont do that bliv it or not GB is very racist & they are closed about it, they pretend everything is cool and we are all 2gether when its a lie. why hasnt GB got any black political icon? watch bbc parliament I hardly see a black face so where will the black man come from. USA , have, oprah,Ronald mullet,tiger woods,rice, Colin powell etc.what does GB have?
labour, conservative, tories whatever GB CANT HAVE A BLACK PM MAYBE IN YR 4000
The question is how many actually try to go down the political rout. There are blacks in parliament and other races too. Apart from Obama we have had a black man all over the media Lewis Hamilton or are you choosing to ignore that? It's your defeatist attitude that discourages people to step up and be. counted
who do u have - lewis hamilton?we have had pp since the 80s like micheal jordan/oprah and gender is nothing compared to race,race has always been a bigger issue,uk is very racist I SCH IN UR COUNTRY,U guys wont have a black PM. how many black faces are in ur house of commonS?how many blacks are mayors?how many blacks are millionaries in ur country?
besides we can have a woman president,if clinton had gone up against mccain she would have beaten him
Obama would have won 90 percent of the votes in this country had he ran against McCain over here! Polls prove this. Here in England we find it astonishing that he didn't win your election by a bigger margin, he would have over here. And that shows exactly which country could be labelled as racist (hint: it's not Britain).
USA is racist but not as much as great brItain the truth hurts sweetie,if gb is not racist then why is it that USA seem to acheive everything first?GB has never had a fIrst black have they?u are D ignorat moron becos u dont know the truth,race is a hidden subject in uk,but in USA its very outspoken
and that is why they have made such progress,even tony blair once said he wondered iF there will ever be a colin powell to UK,for ur PM to say that,that means he knew how racist his country was SORRY
will smith-most powerful actor eddiE murphy-higset grossing actor alle berry,oprah,tyra banks,micheal jordan,tiger woods,beyonce,gondalisa rice,obama,colin powell,ronald mullet,russel simons,jesse jackson,martin luther king,malcom x,rosa parks,samul L jackson,denzel washington,spike lee, all thes pp make british black icon look like penuts USA HAVE HAD LOADS OF BLACK MAYORs SINCE THE 90S AND LOADS OF BLACK IN GONGRESS GB HAS HAD ONLY 3 PP IN CRBINET 3 JUST 3 Shame
o pls u dont honestly believe that of course pp will say they will vote for him but when they get to the polls they will say wait a BLACK MAN? HELL NO then they will vote for mccain
am sure ur queen will have a heart attack if william or harry says they want to marry a black woman
I man if they can reject camila then a girl of colour wont stand a chance
wer have u been for the past 30 years black ppl r everywer !! 3% r blacks wer do u get tht from just go around birmingham and moss side and bradford ow and lets not for get london
What a misguided, uneducated spastic you are!!! The percentages don't change to scale with the population differences! 15% of Americans are black, leaving 85% white, and just 3% of Britons are black, meaning 97% of us are white. There are more of you so you will have a higher percentage of coloured people - hence you're more likely to get a black President. Almost all of your facts regarding the number of black MPs are wrong, and your conspiracy therories are ridiculous. LMAO.
And by your logic, we're racist because we haven't elected a black Prime Minister yet, so Amercia is sexist because they have never elected a female President, as we have in our country (Margaret Thatcher). Noob.
No, you clearly lack intelligence, just because 3 or 4 per cent of the UK is black, it doesnt mean 97% is white, you forgetting about the other many continents in the word? According to the 2001 Census 85% of the UK is White British.
yes england could have a Prime Minister years ago the idea of having a scottish man with brown eyes running for england would have been an absolute no no..but we have brown ,, previously we,ve had a women , even a heavy drinker,smoker so the doors open i reckon , as for my view , best doctors seem to be swedish where i live russians and germans are great with our industrys and asians are know competing and they do a great job so cant see why they or black person couldnt run for britain too
i think why we havnt seen it yet is because of poverty in britian the majority of black familys are housed along with white working class familys with the same opertunitys as them and most likely go to public school the same stasticly it isnt good for the majoriy of white to go on to be bankers,lawyers etc without going to private school or grammer etc and going threw the uni state u be 30,20 years living in a rundown block of flats living on baked beans makes factory work or crime tempting :S
My own personal belief is, I would not feel comfortable with a Black leader in my own country. I do not think that this is just about ignorance or racism, it is more to do with cultural and political preservation. As much as a person tries to adopt the culture of a country, I feel they never quite fit in, this isnt always theirs or anyone else fault. I would probably abstain from voting in an election in which a good black candidate stood, and his opponent was a bad white candidate.
I take the view that if someone is good enough to be leader, then they will become leader. However, in Europe, native home of the caucasian race which is in gradual decline, I cannot see a time when a minority will be leader without causing the isolation of indigenous community and then potentially civil war. The USA is a nation built on immigration, it was bound to happen and is a VERY different setup to here in Europe.
I agree with your point that if a leader is good enough he will become a leader.
However, let me get some clarity.
Are you are saying that, if one day in your European country there was an election...and you had the choice between electing a GOOD LEADER who came from a minority and a BAD LEADER who was Caucasian you would vote for the BAD LEADER?
I dont think people can ever go over race thing. Now obama case is bit special, he is biracial even though everyone see him as black. Now in my mind, africa belongs to african people. I dont mind if all african leaders are black, then they can understand how does it feel being one and relate to their own people. Only way to make white people vote for black leader in europe is if previous white leaders has ruined country badly enough.
PeacefulSoul20, Africa and Asia in the past were ruled by white leaders for centuries, and they had to relate to them.
So do you just find it hard to relate to black people in positions of power? Is that it?
When Rio Ferdinand was captain of England, was that a problem for you? When black and white people are playing on the same football pitch for England is that a problem?
When they are fighting side by side in war, and a black person is the commander of the unit is that a problem?
Here in Finland idea would be too weird, too early. Although politicians has started to working getting people used to multicultural enviroment for whatever reason they do that and I can see it from tv and magazines. My city had no foreigners five years ago, now it is full of them which is very weird. Too much is too much, I dont want my city become another mälmö. Although I wouldn't have problem work with black person if my life would be threatened.
PeacefulSoul, I work in film and over the years the image that has been given of some races by the media is distorted, but there are good and bad in all races. Hitler was very good at giving a bad image about Jewish people, but I am sure you have met Jewish people and the image Hitler and his minister of information gave about them was not correct. Don't let the TV and magazines rule your perceptions, speak to some of the foreigners and make up your own mind. If you still don't like them then OK
I didn't say I wouldn't like them as individuals. I just see what type threat that could become to indigenous community if there is too many foreigners. Threat to their culture, japanese culture wouldn't exist without japanese people. As I see culture as completely race construct. If everyone would feel like you do, we are all same and belong to planet earth there wouldn't be borders or countries. I bet no diversity either.
Diversity is about keeping who you are and sharing that with other people and cultures.
In Japan, there are people who are really into reggae and they know the songs better than some Jamaicans.
I have a British passport and I can fly across any border to any country, in some I may need a visa, so I have no limitations. I have grown in the UK and faced racists, but there is no way I would let a racists person or group stop me from achieving my goals. They actually inspire and motivate me!
Well, if you want to become prime minister of UK :D sure good luck haha. It is good you wont let anyone put your down. Good bye and peace whatever your goals are.
You are black briton arent you? How do you relate to brittish history? I bet you are feeling more comfortable when you connect yourself to Africa than Brittain, but that just naturally normal. Only real threat I see in europe is islam. Very dangerous totalitarian idealogy.
I am a filmmaker. Yes I am Black and British. I was taught British, German and French History as well as African, Asian, even American history. I was taught a lot about World Wars 1 and 2. I connect myself to planet earth and go to other countries and have lived in other countries and relate to any other human being on this planet, not just one place, namely Africa, that is too limited for me. You talk of feeling threatened and that is the key, fear can lead to ignorance.
I cannot think of a system in which a leader is directly elected other than in presidential systems. Certainly, in terms of the UK, the prime minister is only elected to office once the party has won enough seats to form a majority in the lower chamber. So, for a minority to become leader, he or she would have to work their way through the ranks of the party to become a leader of the party. That is a long long way off in the British system.
At present, minority groups of all kinds account for less than 8% of the entire British population, the hierachy of the British system has an even lower reflection of represented minority groups in the UK parliament (less than 1%). At present neither the British Labour Party (in power) has ANY minorities within the cabinet, and the British Conservatives are the same. I think there are barely 15 minority low ranked politicians out of a house of over 700 seats. Britain, and Europe is not ready.
I agree with you. Actually I think EU is not good thing for indigenous people. You should see some videos about Nigel Farage and Le pen exposes Sarkozy.
icollins69 the question is, a person you view as a minority works his way through the ranks of the opposition party XXX and becomes the leader.
I am sure he or she will view themselves as British, even though you may view them as a minority. So we have this leader of the party XXX and you have the white leader of another party, OOO and they are white, there is an election, and all the evidence points to the leader of XXX being GOOD leader and OOO being a BAD leader.
For obama it is easy to unite people because he is both, even media says he is african american. By the way, his ancestery might have owned slaves.(through mother side) So, it is funny how real african americans relate to him. I dont mind what happens in USA. I dont say it is not impossible such thing to happen in europe, but it is too early, but saddest thing europe is open for everyone but asia/africa is only for asians and africans.
This is most disgusting thought....beyond words. Europe, heart land of white man. Multiculturalism has has been forcefully put upon us...There is no chance whites would get such chance in South africa anymore so there shouldn't be chance in europe either. USA is different thing, USA was multi-ethnic from the beginning, but europe is heartland of white man! There will be civil war before this happens in my country, unless greedy EU nationalist has already destroyed minds of european people.
You say there is no chance of whites getting such a chance in South Africa anymore....anymore is the key word here, the whites as you have termed them, had many years of rule in South Africa and you might have upheld this undemocratic apartheid rule. The Americans have decided democratically. If I was to take your multi-ethnic argument, then I would say, I do think there might be a chance of a white person getting another chance in a what is now a democratic South Africa
The people who decided that they wanted OBAMA were not just black people, they were white, black, yellow, red, mixed, they were people, American people who wanted a fellow American as President.
So you are saying British people can't rise above that just the same way American's can?
I am no racist, but I find it offensive when I see minorities on TV happy that a black guy has been elected President simply because he is black. This sort of reverse role racism is NEVER reflected upon by the liberal elite media, and is it any wonder that far right organisations are actually GROWING across Europe, including in the UK? Before a black person is elected prime minister in any European state, there will be civil war for the hearts and minds of the native community.
Why are you guys ready for CIVIL WAR? Even if is in the hearts and minds?
Why is WAR is always on the agenda?
There are two wars on the planet now, and have you thought that one of the many reasons that OBAMA was voted for was America felt that he could help bring unity and peace to the world and stop people feeling that Americans were warlords?
There are white people who are happy that OBAMA won and they are dancing in the street.
I bet he gets shot like the black president in "24"

The question is how many actually try to go down the political rout. There are blacks in parliament and other races too. Apart from Obama we have had a black man all over the media Lewis Hamilton or are you choosing to ignore that? It's your defeatist attitude that discourages people to step up and be. counted

Obama would have won 90 percent of the votes in this country had he ran against McCain over here! Polls prove this. Here in England we find it astonishing that he didn't win your election by a bigger margin, he would have over here. And that shows exactly which country could be labelled as racist (hint: it's not Britain).

What a misguided, uneducated spastic you are!!! The percentages don't change to scale with the population differences! 15% of Americans are black, leaving 85% white, and just 3% of Britons are black, meaning 97% of us are white. There are more of you so you will have a higher percentage of coloured people - hence you're more likely to get a black President. Almost all of your facts regarding the number of black MPs are wrong, and your conspiracy therories are ridiculous. LMAO.
BUFCnet 3 years ago
And by your logic, we're racist because we haven't elected a black Prime Minister yet, so Amercia is sexist because they have never elected a female President, as we have in our country (Margaret Thatcher). Noob.
BUFCnet 3 years ago
No, you clearly lack intelligence, just because 3 or 4 per cent of the UK is black, it doesnt mean 97% is white, you forgetting about the other many continents in the word? According to the 2001 Census 85% of the UK is White British.

yes england could have a Prime Minister years ago the idea of having a scottish man with brown eyes running for england would have been an absolute no no..but we have brown ,, previously we,ve had a women , even a heavy drinker,smoker so the doors open i reckon , as for my view , best doctors seem to be swedish where i live russians and germans are great with our industrys and asians are know competing and they do a great job so cant see why they or black person couldnt run for britain too

i think why we havnt seen it yet is because of poverty in britian the majority of black familys are housed along with white working class familys with the same opertunitys as them and most likely go to public school the same stasticly it isnt good for the majoriy of white to go on to be bankers,lawyers etc without going to private school or grammer etc and going threw the uni state u be 30,20 years living in a rundown block of flats living on baked beans makes factory work or crime tempting :S

My own personal belief is, I would not feel comfortable with a Black leader in my own country. I do not think that this is just about ignorance or racism, it is more to do with cultural and political preservation. As much as a person tries to adopt the culture of a country, I feel they never quite fit in, this isnt always theirs or anyone else fault. I would probably abstain from voting in an election in which a good black candidate stood, and his opponent was a bad white candidate.

I take the view that if someone is good enough to be leader, then they will become leader. However, in Europe, native home of the caucasian race which is in gradual decline, I cannot see a time when a minority will be leader without causing the isolation of indigenous community and then potentially civil war. The USA is a nation built on immigration, it was bound to happen and is a VERY different setup to here in Europe.
icollins69 3 years ago
I agree with your point that if a leader is good enough he will become a leader.
However, let me get some clarity.
Are you are saying that, if one day in your European country there was an election...and you had the choice between electing a GOOD LEADER who came from a minority and a BAD LEADER who was Caucasian you would vote for the BAD LEADER?
Deadmeatmovie 3 years ago
I dont think people can ever go over race thing. Now obama case is bit special, he is biracial even though everyone see him as black. Now in my mind, africa belongs to african people. I dont mind if all african leaders are black, then they can understand how does it feel being one and relate to their own people. Only way to make white people vote for black leader in europe is if previous white leaders has ruined country badly enough.
PeacefulSoul20 3 years ago
PeacefulSoul20, Africa and Asia in the past were ruled by white leaders for centuries, and they had to relate to them.
So do you just find it hard to relate to black people in positions of power? Is that it?
When Rio Ferdinand was captain of England, was that a problem for you? When black and white people are playing on the same football pitch for England is that a problem?
When they are fighting side by side in war, and a black person is the commander of the unit is that a problem?
Deadmeatmovie 3 years ago
Here in Finland idea would be too weird, too early. Although politicians has started to working getting people used to multicultural enviroment for whatever reason they do that and I can see it from tv and magazines. My city had no foreigners five years ago, now it is full of them which is very weird. Too much is too much, I dont want my city become another mälmö. Although I wouldn't have problem work with black person if my life would be threatened.
PeacefulSoul20 3 years ago
PeacefulSoul, I work in film and over the years the image that has been given of some races by the media is distorted, but there are good and bad in all races. Hitler was very good at giving a bad image about Jewish people, but I am sure you have met Jewish people and the image Hitler and his minister of information gave about them was not correct. Don't let the TV and magazines rule your perceptions, speak to some of the foreigners and make up your own mind. If you still don't like them then OK
Deadmeatmovie 3 years ago
I didn't say I wouldn't like them as individuals. I just see what type threat that could become to indigenous community if there is too many foreigners. Threat to their culture, japanese culture wouldn't exist without japanese people. As I see culture as completely race construct. If everyone would feel like you do, we are all same and belong to planet earth there wouldn't be borders or countries. I bet no diversity either.
PeacefulSoul20 3 years ago
Diversity is about keeping who you are and sharing that with other people and cultures.
In Japan, there are people who are really into reggae and they know the songs better than some Jamaicans.
I have a British passport and I can fly across any border to any country, in some I may need a visa, so I have no limitations. I have grown in the UK and faced racists, but there is no way I would let a racists person or group stop me from achieving my goals. They actually inspire and motivate me!

You are black briton arent you? How do you relate to brittish history? I bet you are feeling more comfortable when you connect yourself to Africa than Brittain, but that just naturally normal. Only real threat I see in europe is islam. Very dangerous totalitarian idealogy.
PeacefulSoul20 3 years ago
I am a filmmaker. Yes I am Black and British. I was taught British, German and French History as well as African, Asian, even American history. I was taught a lot about World Wars 1 and 2. I connect myself to planet earth and go to other countries and have lived in other countries and relate to any other human being on this planet, not just one place, namely Africa, that is too limited for me. You talk of feeling threatened and that is the key, fear can lead to ignorance.
Deadmeatmovie 3 years ago
I cannot think of a system in which a leader is directly elected other than in presidential systems. Certainly, in terms of the UK, the prime minister is only elected to office once the party has won enough seats to form a majority in the lower chamber. So, for a minority to become leader, he or she would have to work their way through the ranks of the party to become a leader of the party. That is a long long way off in the British system.
icollins69 3 years ago
At present, minority groups of all kinds account for less than 8% of the entire British population, the hierachy of the British system has an even lower reflection of represented minority groups in the UK parliament (less than 1%). At present neither the British Labour Party (in power) has ANY minorities within the cabinet, and the British Conservatives are the same. I think there are barely 15 minority low ranked politicians out of a house of over 700 seats. Britain, and Europe is not ready.
icollins69 3 years ago
I agree with you. Actually I think EU is not good thing for indigenous people. You should see some videos about Nigel Farage and Le pen exposes Sarkozy.
PeacefulSoul20 3 years ago
icollins69 the question is, a person you view as a minority works his way through the ranks of the opposition party XXX and becomes the leader.
I am sure he or she will view themselves as British, even though you may view them as a minority. So we have this leader of the party XXX and you have the white leader of another party, OOO and they are white, there is an election, and all the evidence points to the leader of XXX being GOOD leader and OOO being a BAD leader.
Who gets your vote?
Deadmeatmovie 3 years ago
For obama it is easy to unite people because he is both, even media says he is african american. By the way, his ancestery might have owned slaves.(through mother side) So, it is funny how real african americans relate to him. I dont mind what happens in USA. I dont say it is not impossible such thing to happen in europe, but it is too early, but saddest thing europe is open for everyone but asia/africa is only for asians and africans.
PeacefulSoul20 3 years ago
This is most disgusting thought....beyond words. Europe, heart land of white man. Multiculturalism has has been forcefully put upon us...There is no chance whites would get such chance in South africa anymore so there shouldn't be chance in europe either. USA is different thing, USA was multi-ethnic from the beginning, but europe is heartland of white man! There will be civil war before this happens in my country, unless greedy EU nationalist has already destroyed minds of european people.
PeacefulSoul20 3 years ago
You say there is no chance of whites getting such a chance in South Africa anymore....anymore is the key word here, the whites as you have termed them, had many years of rule in South Africa and you might have upheld this undemocratic apartheid rule. The Americans have decided democratically. If I was to take your multi-ethnic argument, then I would say, I do think there might be a chance of a white person getting another chance in a what is now a democratic South Africa

The people who decided that they wanted OBAMA were not just black people, they were white, black, yellow, red, mixed, they were people, American people who wanted a fellow American as President.
So you are saying British people can't rise above that just the same way American's can?

1bulma1, do you honestly believe that every black American in the United States voted for Obama?
I am sure there are some black who voted for the Republicans, and have done all their lives.
Obama won because white people voted for him, and these people have got over racism, and maybe found the Democrat policies a better option.
RACE was a big issue for some in the American election.
In Europe, RACE will be an issue when the time comes, but there some people who will rise above it.
Deadmeatmovie 3 years ago
I am no racist, but I find it offensive when I see minorities on TV happy that a black guy has been elected President simply because he is black. This sort of reverse role racism is NEVER reflected upon by the liberal elite media, and is it any wonder that far right organisations are actually GROWING across Europe, including in the UK? Before a black person is elected prime minister in any European state, there will be civil war for the hearts and minds of the native community.
icollins69 3 years ago
u have a point and to some extent u are right
but obama was elected cuz pp said he made more sense
the fact that he is BLACK CANT I MEAN JUST CANT BE IGNORED
As for uk I used to say maybe in the next 100yrs but now I reduce it to 70yrS
britain is very very racist compared to USA,they are very closed about it,unlike spain but pls,there is no black face in their house of commons
atleast USA had collin powell and mrs rice and they have some black governors who does uk have no ONE?

Why are you guys ready for CIVIL WAR? Even if is in the hearts and minds?
Why is WAR is always on the agenda?
There are two wars on the planet now, and have you thought that one of the many reasons that OBAMA was voted for was America felt that he could help bring unity and peace to the world and stop people feeling that Americans were warlords?
There are white people who are happy that OBAMA won and they are dancing in the street.
Obama was elected to ALL the American people.
