Many White Brits Say They’re Victims of Racism

August 13th, 2008

It’s the ethnic minorities who get the best offerings in the public sector, they say

Nearly a third (29 percent) of the White folks in Britain believe they are victims of racism, a new government survey reveals. The issue is jobs, as many contend that ethnic minorities are given preference for public-sector openings. Conducted by the Department for Communities and Local Government, the survey shows that Whites feel like they face the most discrimination in public services, such as housing, schools and police, AP reports. A full quarter of Whites believe they lose out on welfare housing. A 10th of Whites say they get a raw deal in the justice system, while a sixth say police discriminate against them. About 3 percent say they get worse treatment than other races in school.

Why does bet dot com put stories like this? How do they know what is or isn’t going on in Britain? What does bet dot com have to do with Britain?

the put it on here so their racist readers will go “yeah whitey you get what you deserve”

so pathetic. so juvenile. so black.

..and to add, I can’t believe this is really black americans’ online news source. are you kidding me, every story is either about “racist whites” or something that happened to blacks that they try to blame on someone else.

are we really a race? is this news to be taken seriously?

Can we do ANYTHING. Can we ever be responsible for FAILURE.

Programs are designed in America in housing, scolarships, college entry, job hiring, quotas and everything else to benefit blacks in america but they still can’t do everything the world thinks we’re inferior.

despite the many opportunities, there are no fortune 500 companies owned by blacks in america, it takes an arab owned company to do what blacks should be doing.. putting in and getting bids to run american ports .. shameful that the same arabs that americans are fighting are also owning bits of america … why is that? because blacks are focused on the rap and hip hop game.. the only thing is..they dont control it… they just buy into it its all show …by the way, bet.com is owned by viacom which is white owned… its purpose is to sell products to blacks not to seek their opinion…and while blacks on both sides of the atlantic continue to dismiss education as white, but continue to worship the white man via the crap he doles out to them via the music business and endless stupid pointless consummerism, they dont have anything to worry about.. most of you on here wittering on about how it serves whitey right are pathetic..you dont hold any of the cards so why are you even thinking of playing.? obama is showing you just what can be achieved, but you turn against him for speaking the truth .. jessie jackson is an idiot… what he did was hand obama to whites on a platter.. remember that without the white vote no black man will ever lead your country… and as for here in the uk.. not one of you blacks out there have a clue… all they do here is copy rubbish and ignore education.. so its the blind , leading the terminally stupid…i dont say this lightly,, am fed up.. of blacks who are so stupid that they arent even on the way to helping themselves ..

Olounwa:
You claim not to be african american, but we seem to cosume your thoughts,only a person with no knowlege of self or history, would say some of the ignorant thing’s that you are saying.The same ancestry you come from I do as well, so the same people you call yourself degrading ,is your
family( me we). You are correct b.e.t is own by viacom inwitch they purchase
from the now black billionare Robert Johnson who is now buying up land &
properties in Africa buy hundreds and hundred of acers.I think if you would have done more research, you would see that african american do very well
in the fortune 500 for example, companies like rice financial, radio one inc,
vanguard media, johnson publishing co., harpo co., rush communication etc. do I need to name more. African american have or had many key position in united state government mayor,governor,secretary of state etc.
need I say more. You claim to be from england and I must say when i was in
london I saw the african american influents on england culture ,so please
don’t talk about thing you don’t know or here from the media because their job is to seperate us. There a saying that black historian uses and i think it’s appropreate for you, YOU BEEN WILLIE LYNCH…..
Find out who willie lynch is………



OLOUNWA Said on

mmmmm, i have read your type of fake back to africa american black before so yawn… now, if i was paid a pound for every “willie lynch whinge” i have read on bet over the yrs i would be more than a dollar millionaire… there is nothing you have put on there that i dont know so please come up with something a bit more cohesive… i dont need to “claim” anything.. you do… you only “claim ” something when you dont have it.. its that simple.. by the way mr bro jay or whatever , there are black people who exist outside america even though you may not be aware of the fact and whats more, they are aware of who they are and what they want… the african american influence in black youth is hip hop and rap culture.. nothing else.. i know who willie lynch is.. the question is.. do you know who “NUKRUMAH IS..”?, WHAT IS” THE FIRST REPUBLIC?, ” WHO IS THE SULTAN OF SOKOTO.?. ( YOUR JAYZ IS ALWAYS IN NIGERIA SO ASK HIM) there are so many of these questions that you wont know.. nobody is separating anyone.. blacks in the uk are guided by hip hop and rap culture nothing else.. can you name ANY AFRICAN OWNED PUBLICATIONS.?. I DOUBT IT.. do you know how africans control or rule their countries so your so called point of origin.. my point is that you know as much as white americans about blacks both in britian and africa where YOUR CLAIM YOUR ANCESTORS COME FROM.. bro jay.. I OWE YOU NOTHING .. what i object to is blacks celebrating mediocrity and money and being exploited on both…



olounwa Said on

so, where are the fortune 500 companies owned by “you” bro jay/. stop claiming to be related to me.. dont be ridiculous!! your so called “ancestors”, and i use the term very loosely, came from west africa , that doesnt mean i espose hip hop and rap crap values.. do willie lynch means nothing to me, he was an english slave owner .. who continues to influence and quide your steps up to this day…

Who ever wrote this article must of ran out of ideas. Whites mainly English, German, and French were the top people of racism.

unknown Said on

I am just making an observation here(I’m from Canada). In Canada,minorities/immigrants generally did all the dirty jobs(construction,telephone work(field tech)). In the early days,these were good paying jobs that Canadians(not just whites)just thought they were too good to do. But as times changed they realized that these jobs were the way of the future and next thing you know they started complaining that minorities/immigrants were taking all the good jobs. Apparently,they weren’t good jobs till they said they were. lol!

Bro Jay and Olounwa:

I’ve read both of your responses but really, why are you fighting? When it comes down to it how well are we (yes I said WE) as blacks doing in any society whether it be America, Africa, Britian, Canada or Haiti? There is only a minority of blacks doing well that are willing to lend a hand to balcks who are not and only a minoirity of blacks who need the help that are actually reaching to take it. Your display is just proving what everyone else already says which is that we don’t need help when it comes to tearing our culture apart because we do it ourselves. Olounwa – you say that Bro Jay is not your brother, why? If you were in a room full of white people you would be more than happy to see his one black face in there with you and vice versa. Bro Jay – you spit out all of these facts about blacks doing well – now spit out where how much those same companies have invested back into their communities. It’s a never ending cycle…Just look at the comments on this article – some seem well thought but some are just ignorance. we should not be condoning racism PERIOD no matter who it is directed towards and yet people – my people – are on here amused by this…the true question should be why do we take pleasure in other people’s sorrow instead of trying to build and rebuild for the better of us as a whole…

Ole Olounwa;

Well, well, well I guess it’s about time for more censure and trivial nonsense and berating from our favorite arrogant African foreigner. First, how you feel about me is of absolutely no consequence to me whatsoever. Telling me that I cold never live in a black country is good news to me because if you represent what black countries produce…..I’d rather take my chances and stay in America! Second, you really need to stop getting all of your information from the white media (it might improve your thinking if you were to diversify your literature sources). I’m not quite sure about that one because people like you think they already know it all. And third, so what…you hate black Americans, you think we’re stupid…you think we have no values…BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!!

Not that I have to justify anything to the likes of you but the black communities values and interests are much, much, much more diverse than you will ever know. It’s amazing to me that people like you hate African Americans so much and yet you spend sooooo much of your precious time thinking about us, analyzing us, etc…. Are you as involved in the social and political affairs of your OWN country? Do you realize that these BET blogs are but ONE forum for black discussion and the collective variety of responses posted here does not accurately represent the true African American population. Can you comprehend that???? You are totally wrong to think that hip-hop influences the minds of ALL black youth (unless you’ve spoken to all black youth that’s just more ignorance on your part). You’re always slamming blacks for hip-hop and rap culture. I don’t like or agree with all of the recent hip-hop and rap culture or the influence it has had on some of our youth myself. If you really knew what you were talking about you would know that more white kids consume hip-hop than black kids. But that doesn’t fit with your I HATE AFRICAN AMERICANS AGENDA does it?

The level of disdain that you express for blacks in ALL of your posts is so intense that it makes me wonder who you are really. What is your real purpose on this blog? Wouldn’t all of your intelligence be more useful elsewhere? Why aren’t you running for political office somewhere? Why aren’t you somewhere running a country or a corporation? Why aren’t you putting all that arrogance and knowledge of history and world events to good use? Do I smell failure????? Why waste all of that here on these little old BET blogs? There’s always something inherently wrong with a person who despises an entire race of people. By the way NOBODY really cares what you think about American blacks. We’re been disrespected by the best of them. You are a mere amateur. You sound like some bitter, mean, angry shrew that desperately needs some sexual satisfaction VERY SOON! PLEASE GET SOME BEFORE YOUR NEXT POST!!!

ProudHaitianAmericanGirl:

you are correct in that we should not be fighting but some of us are so twisted mentally about the race issue that all we can do is fight each other. some of us fight those who look like us much harder than they would ever fight their real enemy. because in the presence of the real enemy they are weak as noodles. it’s sad but true.

Olonwa:
I would respond back to your last comment, but I think Seschris said it
all she cover all angles about you no need for me to speak . Your just
very sick right now and your little infected mind needs healing (Sankofa)..

Proud haitian american girl/ Ester:
If you read my post carefully I was merely defending the african american
community in witch I’m a part of ,from the foolish attacks and insults from
a person from another country ,who don’t have a clue and the fact that I gave names about black business, was only in response to a false statement that was being said. There no stronger advocate of world wide
black unity then I……..
