Racism Shame

Today, my dear @glazingblogger (www.doubleglazingblogger.blogspot.com) told me to watch a video on youtube of a disgusting 30-something year old woman who sat on a London tram giving a racist slur for two minutes. You think this is bad enough? The thing that disgusted me even more than this poisonous woman ranting about "her Britain" was the fact that the tram was filled with small children AND SHE HAD A TODDLER ON HER KNEE! 



Now, I don't know about you, but the thing we definitely do not need is the worlds children picking up on these disgusting behaviours and thinking that racism is acceptable. Unfortunately, that child is most likely going to grow up with the same behaviours as it's psychotic mother. 

What this country needs is an army of young people against this sort of behaviour! Gone are the days where people could speak about migrant workers as being below them. This is an era of political correctness. Yes, there are cases where political correctness has gone mad, but racism is hurtful, and in rare occasions, fatal. 

Who is to say that white people are above all other races? This is a thing of the past and equality is the way forward. We, as human beings, are all the same on the inside, so why do we judge on the colour of our skin?

We should be teaching our children that racism is wrong. No one should be judge on the colour of their skin because, when you really think about it, it's ridiculous!

I could go on and on about skin colour and homelands but, to be completely honest, you've heard it all before. What I think we could do as a nation is help those in need. If you see any one being the victim of a racial crime, ring the police. If it is safe to do so, stick up for the person being victimised! If this is happening in schools and your child has been the cause of the racial bullying, EDUCATE YOUR CHILD. Make sure that this is stamped out! 

If you have any opinions on this, please leave a comment! If you think against this, again comment.

  1. I totally agree, but then again I think most people will with this. I hope this goes viral across all forms of social media as I think this is one of the best tools to use to make sure the message of tolerance and equality is spread.

    Thanks for the mention and link too ;) xxxx
