To black guy in a black car (Dunstans Road, 5/9/11 6:20am)


Recommended Posts

bovver boots :)


My Doc Martins are over 30 years old and in that time i've seen them popular with student girls and gay lads as well as the original skinhead types from the 80s.


You're more likely to get the gay comment than the skinhead white nazi one to be honest if wearing doc martins/leather/cropped hair.

mind you, in this case my first thought would still have been that the guy was 'testing me' to see if I acted like a victim or could be intimidated.


The gangs go after easy victims - so it's best to grin at them as if that sort of stuff will never scare you in a month of sundays - don't argue or say anything however.

I was thinking that too - very RVT. Maybe he was a homophobe NAH? Or maybe, thinking you looked 'a bit like a gay' he thought you might be a heterophobe...

My reading of the OP is that he felt the bottle was deliberately thrown at HIM (which is bit different to just chucking rubbish out of a car window). With no verbal comment to give him a clue as to why, I think it's only natural he would come to some conclusion (whether correct or not) as to why the bottle was thrown at him. Racism, or homophobia, or just antagonist bullying may well have been at the core, or maybe not - it's impossible to know for sure, but entirely possible. I do wish that some people would be more polite and thoughtful in the way they post though, before assuming the OP is a pot calling the kettle black.

No just can't be arsed with some masquerading activist with an imaginary poodle, posting for weeks in the for sale section before popping up with a " i was wronged by a black boy thread " .


And next time you want to send me a PM calling me a C**T, if you quickly fake an ID to do it don't bleeding talk to someone directly about how dare "they say this and that to you". It kind of defeats the object of doing it behind a fake id....muppet.


Anyway people who walk cute poodle's should not use the C word, it does not really go.

Sounds to me like you have a problem with HIS colour - not the other way round.


When he threw the bottle, did he shout racist abuse at you? If not, consider him an idiot rather than assuming just because he was black and you're white, that HE'S racist.


Get over it - it was a plastic bottle, not a brick...

Oh no, not an empty coke can! You must have been traumatised!! Get a grip.

I've been intimidated more by white trash than black people - being white myself, am I to assume white people have a problem with me being white? Of course not.


Who's racist here? I wonder if you might be...

large07 - the fact that it was a Coke can is irrelevant (as you seem to say yourself), a missile was thrown as an act of aggression. The act of aggression was the misdemeanour. And if you're going to construe racism (or pretend to imply to do so, such a non-commital way to insult someone - grow a pair and either make the accusation or be big enough to restrain the silly impulse) based on what you've read, then you're doing exactly what you've 'accused' me of !!


Doh !! Hyprocritseville, TN, here we come...

I don't like this especially the poodle and the c-word bit, I did retire to the lounge but they were talking about chopping onions (no really) hmm.this can't be for real , there must be something underlying.

Yikes MissDoolalyHats...... Better have a word with nurse and get your meds ramped up :(

I have read this post through and through. At what point did MissNoodlesForBrains ascertain the dog on the 'scene' was a poodle? Did I miss something?


And I really feel for you NowAndHere. Not a good thing to happen to anyone. And I appreciate that what you gave was a description of the guy, and the car he drove. That's it. He could well have been 'To ginger guy in an orange car'. If you'd put 'guy in car', you BET people would have been on it saying...."well, what did he look like? what was the colour of his car?"


Doesn't make you racist. Ignore posters who try to make you feel guilty for what was a horrid thing to have happened to you.

Some blokes jumped out at me the other day when I was driving topless down by the Gowlett (normally people actually say nice things).


I got chased by some guys on bikes about ten years ago up by the estate near Champion Hill


A Man City fan shouted at me to 'come back you bastard' in about 1982


30 years ago some Welsh teenagers tried to beat me up because I was an innocent 16 years old drinking in their pub.


Is there any sort of pattern here?

Ah well, joining the bandwagon a guy shouted racist abuse at me and my partner yesterday, apparently because my bald husband is a white racist skinhead. Nice. Loving coming back to London from a relaxing holiday to meet this kind of bull s :)

Him in doors looks like that as well but also Jewish I do have a giggle especially when we visit friends and family in Golders Green and Finchley.

So, it's got me thinking; is it acceptable for people of other races to be openly racist and hostile towards white people? Perhaps that would have been a more appropriate title for this thread as it is an interesting argument.... And I would love to hear from anyone who thinks it is acceptable, not in any provoking way, more because I like to hear other people's points of view..


Anyone?

    • My understanding is the "free event" is 100% Gala, nothing to do with the council. Obviously Gala will still make money from the food & drink that they are trying to coerce punters into buying on their social media posts. Their costs will be negligible due to already having the infrastructure in place for Gala. So Gala are trying to appear community minded by providing this "free event", but the real goal is to set a precedent for a fourth day's festival - which surely no one could possibly object to?!? - in preparation for applying (again) for two three-day festivals spread over two weekends. It's only another two days, right, and the site & equipment is already there, so why would anyone object?!? More money for the council, much more money for Gala, win-win right? But yet another week of our park taken away from us, too, and another 18,000 people trampling & littering the park, and another week of disturbance for the native birds & wildlife...
    • Meson Don Felipe on The Cut was my go to place for many years. Though it's now many years since I was there. 10-15 minute walk from the Tate. If you go can you tell me what it's like nowadays?
    • Doubt you would have got much change out of £150.00 for battery and certainly having forked out for it, best to use your car. I recently sold  my car via webuyanycar.com - very pleasant experience & was roughly what I was expecting. Pop your bangers reg jnto their website to get an idea of price - they do send e mails once a fortnight/month just as an aid for you. Easy enough to delete - don’t even have to read valuation. They literally buy any car - if you can’t get it to them, they will charge you to get it there or recommend a co that will do it for you. Must say, mine was a 2014 reg and whilst a bit suspicious, paid extra to get money into my account as needed it for next car but was assured funds had I not gone down route I took would be in my account within 5 days. I now live in the country - every time I have been back to Dulwich and surrounding area, normally get a fine for driving at wrong time or parking at  wrong time so if I drive now, park in West or East Dulwich and do everything else by public transport and walking.  Were I still to be living in ED then before I left was pondering this very issue but since I have been back regularly for health reason I no longer drive but take the train and then buses, walk or Uber. Much cheaper than running a car and had I stayed, that would have been the course I would have taken. I don’t go out everyday, have an allotment or job to go to or family so in my case, would be cheaper not to have a car.  Was truely shocked   at the cost of second hand cars…..but where I now live only has a smattering of buses so no choice but to have wheels to get from A to B etc.          
    • If you don't use the car often then suggest disconnect the battery between use by undoing the earth (negative / minus sign) cable from the battery and the battery will then last longer between use. Remember, central locking, alarm, clock, etc won't work with battery disconnected and wit ours I have to lock the doors with central locking before disconnecting battery as only have key on one door (leave bonnet open before locking doors). Hope this helps
