Crumbs at least 5 or 6 of those are breached daily on this board.

Seems like most laws it's in the eye of the beholder.

Bit like the head of firefighters in UK this week that wasn't taken to court for paedophile activity because it wasn't in the public interest. I think the public may prefer to decide for themselves.

Link to White Guilt Article.

Also email address of  Tom Adkins:

E-mail Tom Adkins at TomAdkinsCC@Yahoo.com.

I am fairly confident  Tom Adkins would gladly give consent on publication of his article which appeared in the Philly Inquirer in USA

Why can conservative views not be  promoted ? Behaving like the thought police because something not to your liking ?

I have watched the Youtube thing and read the article given and really its all a load of infantile tosh.

Those Americans I have met prior to the presidential elections have come from typical middle class families. Not only would they not vote for Obama but they hated him. The reason why, which I have also heard on TV and read elsewhere, is because they fear he will turn America in to a socialist state with his health system, educational and other reforms to help the poor and there are a lot of them in the US of all colours and religions including white.

Why don't they like him for this, well somebody has to pay and they fear its them with higher tax's etc. The fact he is also black, or more to the point coloured and has a name that sounds Muslim is picked on because it helps, in their view, to put the cream on their argument.

As for American domestic terrorists and all the hype about that well lets not forget where most of the money came from that funded the IRA which killed hundreds of innocent members of the public both in NI and mainland UK. What happened to some of their leaders, they are now elected members of the NI parliament.

Anyway what on earth has all this got to do with Carol Thatcher and her contract not being renewed.

True Quinllan and who provided the Afghanis with weapons to fight the Russians, promoted revolution/military overthrow of democratically elected governments in various parts of the world?

But then Tom thing would had supported all those activities, illegal and immoral tho they may be, because the action was against the ungodly lefty pinkos so beloved of McCarthy, Hoover and the other hypocrites that used to run the USA.  And from what I've read, he also supports the torture of prisoners in Guantanamo Bay - but then they're Godless Muslims aren't they.

And what has this to do with C Thatcher or even with France?

By coincidence, I was reading an article this morning about a book which has just been written about Bernard Kouchner, founder of Médecins Sans Frontières and Médecins du Monde, currently Foreign Affairs Minister in Sarkozy's gvmt.

The book is widely seen as a hatchet-job and what struck me was the comment that the use of the French word "cosmopolitain" in a certain context is understood to have anti-semitic connotations.

That's fine provided it is displayed in a prominent position,  you can then simply point to it and in a very loud brit voice say, "I will have one of those."  But what if you have to ask for it by name?

Nice to see Tom Atkins has such a balanced view of the world, racism dressed up as intellectual debate.

[/quote]

I have just read the article referred to and, whilst it has zero relevance to France or Ms Thatcher, I cant see the reason for nasty comments about it. The writing style was unusual to me but possibly not to Americans but the content, as I understood it, was that, by electing a non-white President, the people of the USA had shown that the stigma of 'institutionalised' overt racism was not now deserved.

I obviously understood in a different way to some here as I did not consider the article racist in any way.

My phrase .......the stigma of 'institutionalised' overt racism was not now deserved....... does NOT say that racism no longer exists in America, or that any black / brown / off-white person should ever dare to suggest it is so.

The comment ....." praying in a racist church for 20 years, and actively working with America-hating domestic terrorists"..... may or may not have some truth to it, I don't know (or care), do you? I have absolutely no intention of researching the ins and outs of Obamas past life, it's of no interest to me. I read the article and interpreted it my way.  Your interpretation is obviously different and, IMHO, you are looking for any sign of non PC statements.
