See even the thing about her getting arrested, if a black did the exact same thing, he would never get arrested for that. All those muslims burned poppys when white people were showing respect for those who died in WW2 and they werent arrested.
But a white woman tells the truth and shes arrested, of course she would be though, if she wasnt blacks may start riots because she wasnt punished. |
I'm sorry, but, what?
Since when has the poppy been a symbol of being white? I hate that the poppy is being hijacked as a symbol of the "native residents" of Britain. It's not. Flat out not!
The poppy is a symbol of the freedoms we have that were fought for by our forefathers. Many non-white Britons as well as first/second generation immigrants respect what the poppy represents. They enjoy the freedoms our forefathers fought for too, and you'll find most of them have a direct respect for them because of that. It's not a "white" symbol, it's a national symbol.

No you misunderstand, there was that incident, im sure you've heard of it you can watch it here

It was remembrance day there was a bunch of people in London paying their respects they all appeared to be white. Then all these muslims starting burning poppies and chanting british soldiers burn in hell.
Now from what i heard one of the muslims was fined £50 for doing that but this woman on the tram has to go to prison or something, thats not fair, thats not equal, its this kind of thing why most people these other races.

I know of the incident and I was as shocked as anyone else. But what I mean is why even specify white people? I would be amazed if that entire crowd was white. Why not just say "people" and not make it sound like you're trying to racially polarise the issue?

Because in the VIDEO, you can see that they are infact pretty much all white, i didnt see no blacks in the crowd.
|
A-ha, a double negative. So you did see them in the crowd :p
I watched the video, you can see a lot of white people, granted. But to assume that only white people were respecting those who fought for our rights is pretty strange. I mean, all over the country I saw non-white people paying their respects. The video isn't the be all and end all of those who wear poppies. To try and characterise the poppy as "white" is just a strange tactic, when it is clearly not. Again, why not just say "people" and not racialise the poppy?
Even so, these Muslims were Anti-British army (or crusaders as they would probably say), which is not a racial thing in itself, it's an anti-army thing. The British army is made up of people from all backgrounds, even historically with the royal Gurkha regiment, etc. Their acton, whilst disrespectful and shocking, was not racist, it was only racist by those who wanted it to be racist so they could use it to their advantage. They were protesting against a group that contained members from all ethnic backgrounds.
I'm sorry, but I don't actually think that is a racist issue come to think of it. An example of a racist issue is the woman who you claimed had been arrested and sentenced in a day (when she wasn't) for shouting racist obscenities at pasengers on a tram.
