Oh well why didn't you say so. That proves that White flight is a myth once and for all. #Danworld. Do you ever read back what you’ve posted sometimes and think ‘been a bit of a c*nt in that one?’

That's sad, but looking at this conversation, I don't think trying to fend off five or six people at the same time is going to fix that. Though as you say better to look inward than to develop an aversion to others. Maybe you're the person who messaged Dan saying that you intended to leave the site? Whether you make good points or poor ones, it's still a numbers game so the group dynamic becomes the gatekeeper of what is correct or fair. Your achievements are you own and your character is your own. You don't need everyone to hold a certain racial view for that to be the case. It's not a realistic expectation. You seem to be seeking understanding and acceptance where you are least likely to receive it. Most people don't really treat race as a constant topic that they let off steam about though. Gravitate towards them instead. You'll have a better time of it. Edited by BlueJay (06 Jun 2020 3.51pm)

Whether you make good points or poor ones, it's still a numbers game so the group dynamic becomes the gatekeeper of what is correct or fair. As such, you'd be better off opting out of conversations like this. Your achievements are you own and your character is your own. You don't need everyone to hold a certain racial view for that to be the case. It's not a realistic expectation. You seem to be seeking understanding and acceptance where you are least likely to receive it. It's likely a symptom of and response to the way you were treated in those days of old. Most people don't give a sh!t about someones race though and it won't be a constant topic that they let off steam about. Gravitate towards them instead. You'll have a better time of it.
Hold on there is no need to feel sad on my account I didn't actually say how I view myself and it certainly wasn't in a negative way. I have no idea who Dan is apart from what he posts on this board so no it wasn't me. I'm not really seeking any sort of understanding or acceptance in reality I find this board quite amusing in a lot of ways and in no way did I think I was fending off anybody.

There is no doubt some organisations whoever they are have gone too far in being afraid of letting people speak their minds and if the caller said something balanced and fair that is obviously wrong what has happened. I'm not sure why that would make you a little bit racist unless you think everyone in the black community agrees with what happened to the caller because believe it or not we are just people with differing views just like you. The caller basically didnt agree with the presenter who questioned why on the isle of man that there were protests. Purely a question which the caller disagreed with. Then the presenter was taken off air. Why when he asked the question?

Ah right. I had incorrectly assumed it as result of seeing 5 or 6 pages of one person on their tod, with Dan on the sidelines! If you're able to take discussions like this as amusing, then that is certainly a commendable approach.

Well if it was the the presenter who was sacked, assuming that is what you mean,I would suppose it would be because the radio station was blatantly stupid or worse. But still not sure why that would make you a little bit racist?

Can you in the noun meaning a person be a little bit racist or is it all or nothing.

I find the point scoring quite amusing just a few things that amuse. Regarding Bo Selecta just because I'm BME am I supposed to be a spokesman on what is acceptable comedy or not, try making up your own mind your a free thinker.
