    Do the black panthers attack people of other creed or colour?

    They have been known to do so.

    Is this the New Black Panther Party you're talking about?

    That was the programme I think. Some of the black folk were as bad as the white divs. One woman in particular was one of the most offensively racist people I think I've ever seen.

    That's a bloody good point. But I assume this is because there are more 'white' people than 'black' people.

    A quick google check suggested it. But it depends who you group in with the whities.

    FYI - I'm against segregation.

    It's been announced today that a factory in my town is closing down and will be gone by mid 2018. Probably one of the largest employers in the town and this comes within a year of another large factory announcing it was closing down too. Two of the largest employers with decent manufacturing wages in the town closing down within a year of wach other. This place is going to be a proper depressing post-industrial wasteland soon.

    Smear tactics are so yesterday, try another route.

    The Black Panthers are, but then they're not representative of your average ethnic 'proud of my race' person. Can you think of any white person who is vocally proud of their race who is not deemed racist in some way? Now do the same with black people. You have thought of one already.

    New British passport design features seven men and two women. Everybody riots.

    Do they want to replace William Shakespeare with Dame Edna Evrage?

    One isn't the same as the other though.

    If I'm vocally proud about being a white person, what does that say about me? It says I'm proud that white people enslaved and discriminated against other races and nothing else.

    However, if I'm vocally proud about being a black person, that says I'm thankful that my ancestors overcame slavery and discrimination and fought their way into being considered equal to white people in society.

    The only context I ever see references to 'black pride' is in lame attempts to give poor kids a bit of self-respect. I think if you're so desperate for self-esteem that you have to be proud of your race then you've got bigger issues that need solving.

    That isn't news. It's a non event. There's one page on a passport you actually pay attention to and it's just a picture of some ugly twat in a hoody. The rest of the passport may aswell be trace paper.

    I'm thankful my ancestors invented nearly everything good the world has to offer. Most white people did not enslave anyone, and in fact many black people enslaved their own people or sold their own people to slave masters. See, you're doing what I expected - only thinking of the worst things. If you want to go down this route then what have black people ever invented, compared to my quite excellent white ancestors? If you want this silly tit-for-tat then I'm afraid white people win every time. I'm all for equality when it comes to being proud of who you are and where you come from, but that doesn't exist with guilt-ridden apologists like yourself.

    It was a tyre place closing that turned Craigavon into a steaming shithole too. Well, one of the things.

    Your ancestors (like the majority of white people's) were probably shit-munching peasants who invented fuck all.

    I saw Martin McGuinness tweet about it and someone replied telling him he should start blowing up cars again so there'd be more demand for tyres.

    Same goes for 'white pride' (and probably any other race) - it's only for bellends with nothing going for them in life.

    Obviously Dundee is better. Pretty much anywhere is better than Ballymena. I hate the place.

    It's still quite sad to see the place you grew up become a completely rundown shithole though.

    White people can't be proud of being white without coming across as racists because there's nothing positive that white people have done with regards to race. That's the point I'm making. Who invented what has absolutely no bearing on somebody being proud to be black/white.

    All that springs to mind when I think of Ballymena is that no matter when anyone refers to it, they always say Ballymena-hi. Or Ballamema-hi to be more precise.

    That's not a terrible idea. Stormont would probably fuck it up somehow though. And they've already missed the ideal date for the launch.

    They'd all have to disagree and cunt it up like the shower of kids they all are.

    I swear to God if someone came along and said they were going to build 10 hospitals and run them free of charge for 50 years and all had to be done was vote it in at Stormont, there would still be a fucking 50:50 split.

    The word 'Stormont' just screams fight, kill, murder, aggression. Does it actually mean anything? They should have called it 'Peacehouse' or something.

    It's not even its name either. The building is just on Stormont Estate but it's not actually Stormont Castle.

    That's clearly an absurd and hugely ignorant statement. Even were it the case, which it isn't, the same could be broadly said of any race. No 'race' is responsible for great race relations.

    It probably is ignorant, as in some far corner of the internet will be an example of white people doing good things with regards to race. But the general consensus is very bad. Slavery was bad. Not letting black people sit down on buses was bad. Any positives aren't well known and aren't the reason why people are proud to be white.

    Muhammad Ali, who famously won an Olympic gold medal and still got kicked out of a racist cafe. I wonder why he sought to turn his blackness into a positive.

    What about the abolition of slavery?

    Can the whites claim that?

    White people have much more money than black people, on average, which is the difference, not the skin colour of various good and bad people historically. You don't need to feel proud of arbitrary things if you have enough cash to be proud of your gold plated speedboat instead.
