Racist Bigot spouting bile on tram

[Parkdrive]

Has anybody seen the clip on youtube of a young woman with a young child spouting racist venom while on a tram. I feel for the child, and I don't know how this person wasn't beaten to a pulp. God above, if ever there was a case which proves the old adage that "theres more out than in" its her. Dreadful.

[PeckhamRose]

It was on the telly. She's been arrested. So that's her dealt with.

Now the the thousands of others!

In a way it is a good thing the story happened because the fact we all saw it meant she could be identified.

Many is the time I have to go work in areas like Thamesmead or Bow or Kennington or Staines or somewhere and the racism is blatant and unapologetic.

[Parkdrive]

I'm concerned for the child, I wonder what will happen to him. What an example to set for him.

[Otta]

She is the worst type of white trash.

[Hugunette45]

An she has a horrible accent.

[Salsaboy]

I am also surprised she wasn't beaten to a pulp. She deserved it.

[Hugunette45]

Nobody deserves the worst. Being black or white, and for the old or young. The problem was mathematical 1(Hamster)=2

This was recently found out then obviously you can't keep the consistency. Not enough room poor baby.

She wouldn't stand a chance against the

She wasn't beaten to a pulp because she had a defenceless child on her knees. I can't see any other reason?

Perhaps thats why she felt safe running off at the mouth the way she did? Who knows, but I really feel for that poor child.

What does beating a person to a pulp entail, and what sort of damage, temporary or permanent, results?

[DulwichFox]

Racism is brought about by Ignorance...

Beating someone up is also a product of Ignorance.

You cannot beat someone up just because they are Ignorant and you are in the right.

Otta.

White Trash could also be considered as a Racist remark, whoever is saying it..

You cannot fight racism with violence.

I simply asked the question because that kind of behaviour usually results in someone taking revenge in some shape or form, I certainly wasn't advocating a good thumping.Just asking the question, no more no less.

Based on the current state of things, I would also like to point out that, had the situation been reversed racially, I would be willing to bet a pretty penny that no legal actions would be taken.

[Claudia Drezner]

I'd also like to point out that the pergorative white trash is an irredeemably ugly and racist remark, whatever the circumstances. If you called someone 'black trash', you'd almost certainly find yourself in court as a result.

I'd have to disagree with that, racism works both ways.

[Claudia Drezner]

And I disagree. I can't find any evidence on this side of the pond, but the man (Kimg Samir Shabazz of the New Black Panthers) in this clip escaped prosecution in the States. He was the same man responsible for intimidating white voters at polling stations in Philidelphia. He escaped sanction on both occasions at the behest of the incumbent Attorney GeneraL Eric Holder.

If it were a black woman caught making racially aggravated remarks on public transport, I suspect it wouldn't attract nearly half the amount of media condemnation.

[Claudia Drezner]

And without wishing to excuse the woman's behaviour, she was clearly under the influence of some substance or other.

[StraferJack]

"you suspect" doesn't make anything true or even feasible

But if your supposed situation arose, I suspect, that with someone videoing it on the phone and sending it to youtube, it would be an even bigger story

But hey welcome to the forum and posting for the "first" time

[Claudia Drezner]

And yet you back-up your accusations of supposition with your own assumptions.

[StraferJack]

given that was the road you were travelling I joined in. Hopefully you can see it's pointless. The situation we have is what we see here - not some made up story. So probably best to stick with that

I agree with your point about here being drugged up tho - even more worrying for the kid

[Huguenot]

Welcome back Claudia.

As even a retarded idiot knows, US freedom of expression laws make incrimination for inciting racial hatred a completely different issue in the US than in the UK.

That's such a stupid tenuous excuse to sustain and promote such an aggressive racial prejudice that it doesn't even deserve this correction.

You 'point out' nothing but reprehensible garbage. I hear John Tyndall calling...

[Claudia Drezner]

I'm simply trying to achieve some balance. I'm also appalled at the media's witchhunt of this woman. And although I share in her exarsperation, to a degree, she put her child at risk by saying what she said, where she said it. Because from where I'm sitting it looked as though the young man behind her was about to assault her.

And yes, she was clearly drunk or high. I suspect the former.

[El Pibe]

So there is no record of the reverse (whatever that is, racist behaviour is racist behaviour surely) happening.

Given that CD's apparent indignation is nothing but unfounded speculation, the question remains can anyone condone this behaviour?

If not then there really is nothing to debate here.

I would agree she looked in something of a state, so I guess she's going to opt for the 'Galliano defence'.

[Claudia Drezner]

I don't condone putting a child at risk to protect yourself from immediate reprisals of (your) controversial actions, if that's what you're getting at.
