Am I allowed to say...?
Find answers to your legal question.





Am I allowed to say...?

That I am racist?

Regardless of weather or not I offend somebody, my religion and skin colour, am I legally alowed to admit to bieng racist?

I think there are a lot more racists around than people like to believe and I am not ashamed of it.

Sure you can. I think most people are racist in one way or another.

If most of the people you've met, have had personal contact with or have heard of, have not lived up to be what you consider your moral values or preferences of behavior, you will naturally dislike that culture or religion. That's a fact. And it's okay.

How you act out your feelings or frustrations because of this dislike is what counts. Not what you think.

If you allow a person's race to affect your feeling about them as a person, regaurdless of what else you do or do not know about them, then you are a racist. And I agree there are alot of them out there, of all colors, who will not admitt it. I do not think that it is any thing to be proud of.

Of course you can. You can no more be arrested for being a racist than you can for being a drug addict. It takes a crime to be arrested, like a hate crime or selling drugs.

Up to you mate. There's a lot of PC crap around these days, but to be intolerant of someones skin colour is poor... its lame, really. To be intolerant of the way someone ACTS is different entirely... and if they belong to a group of same "type" of person, then yeah - go be "Racist". I hate chavs.... does that make me a racist? Probably, these days....(oooh - old person cliche..)

Sure, I see nothing wrong with saying you are racist, but to be a racist is a problem. I don't see why people should have any reason to hate another group of people based souly on race. I mean think about it, a person is a person, they are a soul, and a body. They can't help what they were born into. If someone is black, white, hispanic, chinese, they can still have the same ideals, opionons, and common intrests that are your own. Why hate someone that likes the things you do, just because they're a different color?

My thoughts. You can love the individual but despise his creed.Also, there is no such thing as racism in the kitchen or the bedroom.I'm racist towards some people.But I'm careful who I say it to.


onlymedear7
you can say whatever you want we all think differently,you should be aloud to say what you want and be proud of it.of course people are going to be offended,but its your choice to voice your opinions

Sure you have the legal right to say that, but I wouldn't assume that everyone will conform to their legal duty and not beat the hell out of you for saying that. It's also probably not good to say that just in case you someday choose to go into politics.

Of coarse you can admit to being a racist for sure, but isn't being a racist just plain BONKERS? Remember, you will have to stand up to social scrutiny to survive working and being a part of multiracial / multicultural Britain.


@@@Marty@@@
yep i think ur allowed, other races definately are.JOKE(if u get me :).
I think you are right that a lot more people are racist than let on. especially older peeps, but also a lot of middle age. some teenagers are etc but schools are doing their best to minimise it i think.
i think britain is definately a light touch when it comes to immigration comapred to other countries. this needs to be sorted.all imo

It's not illegal to be a racist only to give expression to the fact.
Oddly enough the one place where the powers that be can't touch you is in the voting booth.
Remember that next time you vote

well i suppose so...coz there is meant to be freedom of speech...but some people actually make it so that there is no freedom of speech...


misspipik
how you doing dave duke?


SLOWTHINKER
Depends on what type of racist....If, you are a violent racist, who strives on ignorance and think nothing of taking another human beings life. Then, you will have a serious problem...
Being a mediocre racist, your options are open to embracing another race. Oftentimes, it is a complex form of racism.
Some do not believe in intermarrying outside of there race, religion, etc. Sometimes, it may be beneficial. Who would not want a cute pigmented baby? Growing up with a tint is always nice.

why are you racist??
i cant get my head around why people are racists,has something happened to you,
let me ask you a question,?
if you needed a transplant or blood from white,black or asian person,& it was life threatning & your family couldnt get to the hospital on time would you have the blood or transplant,or would you refuse it?


tink19812003
I agree with you. At least you are honest. There are a few people thay are but are afraid to admit it. It is something people have to face because racism is everywhere, but what people dont understand is they are what make others dislike them.

They say its a free country but people do get offended by raciest remarks which come in all forms from skin colour, religion, gender etc but I do get annoyed when people use raciest remark toward skin colour as some foreigners in this country are actually white e.g Austrian, Canadian, American, Australian etc so why don't they get abuse hurled at them because they are white I could go on but I think Ive got my point across


confused
you can say your racist but shouldnt say recist remarks about other people in their company

You are allowed to say that you are a racist -- that is legal. But be careful if you put your philosophies into practice because at that point discrimination, hate crimes, harrassment, public nuisance may break laws and land you in court or jail.
