Black privilege is real! According to those who believe in a “white” race! There’s a surprise! Claiming equivalence for two events just because they both happened on a train is obviously nonsense. You need a great more detail. Here is some but it is still not as much as was available to those making the decisions. They saw the videos and heard the witnesses. Which gave them a rather better opportunity to decide on the appropriate action than a Tweet from someone with a prejudice:-

Someone who called a certain ethnicity 'unique' (which is fine by me) but then claims that white people don't exist can have their opinion seen within that context. Yep, those that are interested should compare these two cases and their results and come to the conclusions they come to. No one is on here telling you what you need to believe in terms of races. You can hold your extreme idea that race doesn't exist if you wish to. However, you don't get to tell others how they identify. If you don't like a post then you are free to ignore it.

So it’s ok to de bank someone because they embarrass you. Mmm very well thought out response ! That’s not what happened. They took a commercial decision that having him as a customer presented more downside than upside but then mishandled the public relations very badly which forced them to retract. It wasn’t his politics. It was him. His public and very divisive image. He is “Marmite” man personified. Too big a risk.

I have no recollection of anyone, me included, describing any ethnicity as “unique” so will needed to be reminded of the context. Ethnicity is a social construct which gets increasingly blurred these days but can still exist uniquely. Categorising anyone simply by physical attributes which have no bearing on their character is one of the biggest problems today. That it is widely done is no excuse. People rightly get upset at sexual or age discrimination. Obese, short or tall people too. So why is it ok to call people black or white? It doesn’t mean anything. It creates division. It’s yesterday’s terminology. A vestige of the days of Empire and the slave trade. Describe them by real differences. Whether they are honest and hard working for instance. Gang members or members of the WI if necessary. Edited by Wisbech Eagle (18 Jan 2024 9.19pm)

I'm not interested in a third worldist's fantasy ideas on biology. You are entitled to your opinion is all I'll say to that. However, I'm not a liar and you did indeed describe that ethnicity as 'unique'.

I am not calling anyone a liar. All I am saying is that if such a statement was made I cannot recall it and without the context am unable to explain it. I have little doubt I could though. The only fantasy involved in these ideas about “white” people come from those who believe it’s real. Skin colour is a feature of evolution, along with many other attributes. There is no one group with “white” skins anymore than one with ”black”. The third paragraph of the above is key. This is a social construct and not a scientific one. As such it needs to be called out for the divisions it perpetuates. Constructions are man made and therefore depend on the motivations of those making them.

Third worldist ideology is very much a minority position. It's not how the real world works and if someone is going to argue for diversity then they need to live in a diverse area. Otherwise they are making a 'diversity for you, not for me' argument. They are the past and have lost the argument. However, they don't seem to understand that, continually making the same rejected points won't change that. They need to evolve and thankfully the peoples of Europe are showing this at the polls. The polls in both France and Germany show that a line has been crossed. We just need the politicians to stop lying about immigration and actually do what they promised.
