BBC should shut up about race they don't know what they are talking about.

@ezekielthemack I don't get why you're so anti-white. I wouldn't be suprised if you were anti-white HUNDEREDS OF YEARS AGO. However, times have changed. Now, you'll probably go on about how supressed you're in a white country. Hmm... I wonder what would happen if I go to Nigera (Police target white people). Don't talk about supression if it can be TWO WAY. Please don't. Racism works both ways. However, yes it is more for black people, only because they hold history above our heads.

[DaveyWalshey]

@ezekielthemack You're just full of hypocrisy. It is unbelieveable. You flame me for assumptions, yet you assume things about me. You say black people can't be racist, yet you shout racist remarks at me. If you bloodly look at the definition of "racism" you can see black people can be guilty of it, i'll copy and paste it because I know you're to stubborn to do RESEARCH: "Prejudice or discrimination directed against someone of a different race based on such a belief."

[DaveyWalshey]

@ezekielthemack Yes, I agree black people have suffered more. HOWEVER, it still doesn't stop them from being racist. They can just get away with it.

[ezekielthemack]

@DaveyWalshey Here's some homework for you DAAAAAAAAAAAVE. I want you to READ (yeah that word again) and research exactly why it is that black people, given their historical trajectory CANNOT be racist. Let me know your findings :-)

[DaveyWalshey]

@ezekielthemack (Part 2) If she was white and she said something against black people, I would've said she was in the wrong.

[DaveyWalshey]

@ezekielthemack Haha! Making assumptions! You flame me for doing that? You are guilty of that you tit, quote "Stop being a typical lazy white boy and READ more". You are assuming I do not read. Most of my free time is given up to education! I made that assumption about you as through experience I can say the lower class are more volatile. Look at your comments. You just shout hate, then trying to say that it's an argument. You're fighting a lost cause. We all know Diane is in the wrong. (Part 2)

[ezekielthemack]

@DaveyWalshey "I'm constantly reading you lower class cretin" - Well if it isn't Dave the rave LOL. Let me stop you right there son. Don't make assumptions about someone you don't know.Firstly how can you deduce that I'm of a lower class when you know nothing about me. You purport to be erudite, yet the first thing that comes out of your mouth is puerility; a paradox if ever I saw one. For the record I'm not the chav that you most definitely sound like.

[DaveyWalshey]

@ezekielthemack Yes black people have been victimised on their race more than white people. HOWEVER, they still CAN be racist. There are examples of race attacks made on whites by black gangs in the UK! I suggest you read around a bit more FOOL.

[DaveyWalshey]

@ezekielthemack I'm constantly reading you lower class cretin. That being said, it your last comment to me you were racist! "Typical lazy white boy" Typical lazy black boy. Both are aimed at a race. If you want white people to stop being racist, you need to stop you retard. Society shouldn't allow idiots like you nor Diane Abbott to get away with these things! She is a Labour MP for christ sake! The party is FOR coloured people getting along. Yet she seperates us even further by making us argue!
