Sarah Kane Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Did you enjoy the ceremony? Far too many blacks. That's racist. In a predominantly white country i think its a fair observation, not racist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I1L2T3 Posted July 28, 2012 Author Share Posted July 28, 2012 like it or loath it, but LONDON which is the host city is one of, if not the most multicultural city in the world, thus the ceremony portrayed it perfectly. Anyone who disagrees is a racist prat! Personally I think the opening ceremony was a triumph! Well said WeX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris_Sleeps Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 In a predominantly white country i think its a fair observation, not racist. What should they have done? Cut down on the number of local people and shipped in some white people from Pontefract? It's a lot of work to appease your bias. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeadingNorth Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 In a predominantly white country i think its a fair observation, not racist. It is racist whether it's fair or not. The entire concept of having a limit on numbers because of skin colour is racist by definition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happ Hazzard Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 Just listening to Frank Skinner's show from this morning. He pretty much concurs with my opinion of the ceremony, "too right-on". "Trevor Nelson but no Lord Nelson". Glad to know that some people in the media are prepared to speak the mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tradescanthia Posted July 28, 2012 Share Posted July 28, 2012 There are a lot of black athletes and they tend to be good athletes. Its arguable that their physical make up makes them stronger and faster than other groups. Boxing is a good example, along with running. I remember the 'Black Power' demo on the rostrum some years ago. The fact is you are going to get loads of black athletes whether you like it or not because they are so good at their sports. Is that a problem ?? I hope not. Cycling is predominately white, is that a problem ?? No. Sport rises above colour, creed ,religion or politics.

We are British.......be proud of it. We love to win, but are gracious in defeat. Let us be an example for the world to copy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey up Nimrod, I did not watch the OC last night but not going to knock those who did, just 2 points.... there seems to be some complaints over the person carrying the flag....who the hell is she? And 2nd your point on us being gracious, can you let the England fans know this next time we get beat in say a semi, & they riot all over country, smashing up bars & towns :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
