Why are people who don't agree with immigration branded "racist"?

Question

It seems nowadays we should are being told by the media and the government that we should be ashamed of being white because of the tiny minority who are (wrongly) racist? How come we rarely, if ever, hear of race hate crimes against white people? It's not like they don't happen! It's like freedom of speech didn't even happen! We are being told (in scotland) not to have Christmas decorations in our places of work so as not to offend other religions - it's completely ludicrous! Yet nothing was done when thousands went out in the streets of London on 9/11 and celebrated...???

Why should we keep our religion behind closed doors if nothing was done about muslims celebrating 9.11 in London? Isn't that "displaying their religion prominantly"

Answer 1

They have ran out of anything else to say.

Answer 2

Many of the people that are against immigration also show racist views when expressing their opinions. The government and media are not there to make the 'white' population fell guilty, but to make the nation aware of what is happening. The UK is not just filled with whites but all races/ Which is why most people are proud to be part of a multi-cultural nation.

Christmas decorations not being put up in work places is a company thing, which is put into operation so that customers and employees do not feel offended. Why is that ludicrous? Being an atheist I do not understand why I must be subjects to Christmas decorations and music when I do not celebrate the occasion. Why 'God' must be threw at me when I am trying to work. It is my choice not to worship 'God' and therefore people should also celebrate privately.

Answer 3

I agree the government are full of immigrants and queers and paideos and want to brand anyone who is indiginous to these islands a racist.

If they think that an englishman is being racist by defending his race and his beliefs above those of a immigarnts. Maybe just maybe that immigrant will get the picture that they are here only as long as we need them. Let them never forget whos country this is. A day will come when they are no longer needed and we will kick them all out.
Don't let yourself believe for one minute that they have any claim to these islands. They are ours and ours alone not for 1000 years have we ever been invaded but look at the state of us now. Some of our cities are more muslim or black. Dont ever think that if we go to war or need to defend this country they will stand and fight with us.

Answer 4

It's the battle cry of those who have nothing intelligent to say about a topic. They don't have any logic nor fact to back up their OPINIONS, so they resort to playing the race card because it's a hot button.

There is nothing racist about being against illegal immigration. The vast majority of us are only asking that people come into this country legally and only as they are needed to help us. We are not a charity (even though we act like one). We are a sovereign nation, and we have the right to protect our people from all invaders. The financial strain that illegals are putting on our country is outrageous.

So you say that they're taking jobs no American will do. If that's true, then let's take all of the millions wasted on taking care of illegals and supplement the pay of AMERICAN workers so that they will do those jobs. At least my tax dollars will go to support a working American instead of a leeching illegal.

Answer 5

God, the christmas thing bugged me. I had half a mind to have a go at them for offending my religion, as they would never dream of going somewhere else and telling jews/hindus etc. to call their lights winter lights, or autumn lights or whatever.
I think a immigration should be far tighter, they say it's needed as we need more doctors, and teachers, and all that, but most of the people who come don't have these skills. And it's not racist, as I'm against white immigrants as well as those who are black. I would say no to both a new zealander, and an indian, if they didn't have skills we needed, or didn't speak english well, or something.

It's people who are scared of upsetting people, who don't really care wether they are called xmas lights or not, and they are becoming more "politically correct" with every breath they take.

Answer 6

Because the left wing pc brigade don't like to engage in open and honest debate, I mean how else are they going to find their mythical figures of hate on the right or even centre right? I think that there is a very nasty backlash on its way and its not a pleasent thought. By quashing mature and sensible debate you are simply going to push people towards manipulative little gits like Griffin with his merry band of undereducated biggots in the BNP.

This country cannot sustain the current levels of immigration and asylum, for all those out there thinking that this is party political broadcast on behalf of the conservatives, its not, this came from a great social policy academic and all round good guy Frank Field a labour MP who actually has the balls to be honest. Much more helpful than the crowd pleasing bull that mad dog Reid has been spouting since becoming Home Sec.We have to be realistic and we have to be honest about it. Yes we have a falling birth rate and therefore we need immigration, but it has to be specific and targetted not the ad hoc set of rules and regs we have at the moment which in the main have come about thanks to knee jerk reactions from the Home Office everytime they're caught with their pants down!

We need to talk about it and should talk about it openly and honestly without being branded racist.

Answer 7

I understand your outrage, please do not feel alone on this one. There is an unholy alliance in this country between the Government and their acolytes, namely, the TV media, teachers/lecturers, Town Halls and the public sector, Unions etc, to discredit and alienate any opinion that does not comply with their radical/revolutionary and totalitarian agenda. Transfering the country to the EU and embracing the repugnant "Human Rights Act", which overrides the will of parliament by passing control to the Courts. This abandonment of power by the government is deliberate, as they are only playing at immigration control. As far as they are concerned, Britain no longer has any borders, particularly as far as Europe is concerned.

At one time, even if the political party we preferred didn't get elected, we could at least rely on it not to carry out grossly unpatriotic acts, such as giving the country away to a foreign entity, or destroying the family in the name of feminist ideaology, and much more. I have used the term leftwing/liberal fairly loosely, but I take it these days to include such pernicious groupings as, feminism, leftwing media, educationalists, Guardianistas, multiculturialists, this government, PC and pro EU brigade, as well as the traditional anti capitalists, Greens, anti America etc.

Today, the TV media is all powerful and, together with the other groups I have referred to above, have been indoctrinating people for years, concentrating particularly on the young. By way of contrast the oxygen of publicity is denied to those individualls/groups whose opinions they feel need to be suppressed. Some of the things you have referred to in your question, are merely tactics to alienate and silence dissenting voices, "Racism" is probably the one we most often think of, in silencing immigration critics. What saddens me most is how successful these tactics have been, you only have to read the re-cycled garbage poured out by many respondents to Yahoo Answers. The groups I have referred to above will always put dogma and ideaology before patriotism.

People are starting to wake up to it, but God ,have they been slow, and is it too late?

Answer 8

The hypocrisy of the left is amazing.. The remnants of the reconstructionist era in the Southern US is rampant with racists in the guise of liberal programs that are create a culture of dependencies on social liberals. New Orleans is the epitome of a liberal thought process. It is racism guised in do gooder programs.

When people confront the hypocrisy of this type of action they are labeled racists when in fact they are opposite. People that see human potential through intrinsic motivation by removing social safety nets forcing motivation, guess what, people get motivated to work. They provide for their families, they don't commit as many crimes, and society benefits.

Social Safety nets such as Social Security, medicare, welfare all cripple individuals that are not in need of help.

The border security issue is a different can of worms as well, securing our borders from terrorists should be of utmost paramount. The liberals claim we can't "profile" a terrorist. My take is pretty simple, If I see a young guy, or a couple of young guys of middle eastern descent in my midwestern town I do a double take.. Now, mind you, there haven't been any attacks in my midwestern town, but the fact is we are currently in a world war where the enemy is generally of middle eastern descent. I believe we are in the US in 1938-40 and Pearl Harbor is coming again. We need to wake up to this stark realization it is not a matter of IF but when.

The mexicans coming across the border unabated are for all intent and purpose violating federal immigration laws, for not following the correct channels to get into this country. Law is law..

Answer 9

Now that has gone too far the Xmas decoration situation I mean they cant be serious..actually I dont think the work place can do that legally for that reason,are they doing this in England I wonder?I would say 90%of crimes in Glasgow is white on white though.Scots have a reputation for being just too nice,and very accommodating,but in this case I`d tell them to shove it!

Answer 10

Well I'm NOT ashamed to be white!! I'm not ashamed to say Immigration should be halted!! I'm sick of people saying those who comment on Immigration are racist! I'm certainly NOT going to capitulate and give up MY free speech! The reason its happening is because we, the public, are letting it happen!!We are told constantly we offend them,with our traditions and culture,why then, if we offend them so much,are they here??? What about these others offending ME by their traditions and cultures? I have no choice in THAT. I'm having it FORCED upon me! The whole Political Correctness has now gone too far! Baa baaa rainbow sheep? What nonsense! The law is one sided,and we know which way it goes! Sooner or later, there will be civil unrest in our country. That old saying,"Reap what you sow" will come back to haunt us all!

Answer 11

The problem is that any reasonable dialogue about these issues is being smothered by the accusation of racism. This itself is allowing these issues to be exclusively debated by the right (e.g. BNP) and this is very dangerous. These are serious issues which ordinary people wish to debate and unless mainstream politicians are prepared to engage in a sensible well informed and open debate about these then we will no doubt see more victories such as those in Oldham, Blackburn for the BNP in council elections. It wont be long before they have MP's if Labour, Conservatives and Lib Dems dont act to wrestle control of these issues from them by allowing open and free debate.
