One sided racism

[damiencross]

Apart from thinking the coronation street take on racism being quite a weak pathetic storyline (not quite as weak as someone putting money on an accumulator out of the blue and winning) i also think that Coronation Street seem to forget that racism goes 2 ways yet it is never highlighted that black people can be racist towards white people. i am born and bred in a highly populated black area, many of my very good friends being black and i assure you that a much greater percentage of black people are racist towards white people than the other way around. Programmes such as social soaps like Coronation street ignore this, the press do the same in their reporting, if 2 white guys beat up a black guy it is a racist attack, if 2 black guys beat up a white guy it is merely assault. Coronation Street has done the same, if they consider a white guy saying to another white guy 'play the white man' to be worthy of labelling someone a racist, causing enraged arguments between several people and threaten their job then in the same context a black man calling another black man a 'nigger' is also racist. So are Coronation Street going to campaign that every one of the countless CD's, music videos and films where black people constantly use the word 'nigger' should ALL be banned as racist? of course not, as racism is ignored when a black person does it. Is saying 'play the white man' worse than almost every black person accusing white people of slavery, something that happened 100's of years before we was born.
One last thing, the Portuguese started slavery in Europe and as they are the descendants of the moors who occupied them for 100's of years, a black race, hence the black hair and dark eyes, then do the say it was blacks that started slavery, nope the black ancestory is igonored, it is only when a person of mixed race becomes a president that they become a black man
