Right shall we read this please. Before we jump on the hate, racism and nationalistic band wagon.
Yes I posted about this, but I feel the need that now I have calmed down a bit, to be a bit more articulate with it.
So, they protested. For, in my honest opinions, good reasons. It is true, where is the silence for those innocent people who have died in the Iraq and Afghanistan wars?
Is it still right for this message of hatred to be go around:
"Today Muslims broke the 2 minute silence in Central London with banners saying "British Soldiers Burn In Hell" & the burning of a poppy. if you don't like us British people paying respect for our brave fighters, then you know where the airport is. disgusting, disrespectful bastards, if you agree that its about time we stood up for our country n told these racists to fuck off then repost to get the message across"
I don't think so. What we are looking at here, are people, uneducated about the facts jumping to huge and massive hateful conclusions. Conclusions now which to me seem hugely racist and also show how racist us British people can be. We love to think that we are tolerant and accepting but the reality is that there are still these ugly statements being passed on and agreed with.
We cannot blindly accept that it is right to hate because they have stood up for something they believe in. They are British citizens too and have that right, and we are WRONG to do this to them.
We cannot treat people like an out group and hold such blatant hostility. WE SHOULD TREAT PEOPLE HOW WE WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED.
They are standing up for what they believe in, a protest of anti war, and of remembering ALL of those in wars. Not just the British but EVERYONE. As they should do.
But telling these people to 'fuck off' we are being racist. They are not being racist, they are protesting about something not to do with race.
Also remembrance day is not purely British so how can it be racist?
The disgusting ones are those spreading this message of hate when they are not informed of what actually went on. Perspective is a wonderful thing and it sickens me that people are not intelligent enough to seek another persons point of view and just jump onto the BRITAIN FOR BRITISH bandwagon.
It's racist, intolerant and fuels messages of hate that should not be about in this day and age.
Please. If you are going to make these accusations, first take a walk in their shoes.
You might learn something.
