Bassman62 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Originally Posted by Bassman62 The areas around Hanover street were upper class when I was a lad so was Harcourt road, Rock street was respectable and safe to visit at night. These areas were decent and not deprived prior to the people who moved in and made them deprived.I was initialy brought up in the Crookesmoor road Bond street area, playing on the bombed building sites, back to back housing and shared outside toilets none of which exist today are you saying that we should have behaved like the trash do today because of the housing that existed? Some of the houses in our street didn't even have a back door, one of our Warrant Officers came from those very houses, he went on to become an officer in HM forces. It's the state of the mind of these people not the state of the distrcts. Your reply to the section you made bold was:- What kind of nonsense is this? Quite extraordinary. So can you tell me what is quite exraordinary about stating facts like it wasn't the people who moved out that made them ghettos/slums/deprived areas it was the people who moved in.

Sarkysod Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Are you saying your safe if your not white? No, he is saying you are safe. It's the misconception of not being safe just because some people are paranoid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halibut Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 Really:roll: why? I think it's mostly to do with being old, out of touch and scared of change; some younger people get infected with the same fears through idiot parents or others trying to indoctrinate them. It's mostly just stupidity. What's your reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassman62 Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 No, I'm saying some white people (especially old ones like Bassman) have an exaggerated and unrealistic view about the threat posed by non-whites.Strange isn't it a musician friend of mine who is white was in a relationship with a black girl on Rock St, before he brough his car there she had to let certain people on the street know so that his car would be safe. I know trying to be sensible with you is a waste of time but it was the girl herself who explained this to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 or realist? No, paranoid and unrealistic, with the usual cheap stereotypes and xenophobic/racist stereotypes. I'm sure you know the score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you claiming that it's a realistic thing to be scared of black people? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarkysod Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 or realist? The realist in says since moving to Sheffield in the late 70's I have only ever been attacked once, that was a drunken white man. Or maybe they're realists who live in a real round world not a flat earth and live in real houses not Wendy houses, in other words facing up to reality. How real does living in Darnall have to be?

Glamrocker Posted August 21, 2011 Share Posted August 21, 2011 No it isn't and no we don't. So what do you suggest, just let the illegals run about as free as birds,if something is illegal you counter it with legality,in the case of illegal immigrants you arrest them and then return them whence they came,you'll be saying next let all paedophiles and rapists run free..same thing really..theyre all lawbreakers. As for the country being full up theres always room for more ,providing you start building on Britains natural beauty areas and then the question arises what do they do once there here and filling the land up,tell me again what are the unemployment figures at the moment ?You see Halibut its not just a case of letting people in ,its homing them,feeding them and finding employment for them.
