Re: This isn't racist?

Yes, there are always those who'd rather whistle, and turn their back on something they'd rather not see.

Re: This isn't racist?

No mention at all of them, on the posters the Civic Arts Centre promoted.

Just 'New Shoes Theatre in association with the Lancashire-wide Network for Ethnic Minority Women present...'

In the context that the Civic Arts Centre promoted the event, what does 'in association with the Lancashire-wide Network for Ethnic Minority Women present...' mean?

Re: This isn't racist?

Do you only have one hat nowadays?

That being the Civic Arts Centre one, and no personal opinions, when it comes to what's right or wrong, outside of the small sphere of the arts?

Re: This isn't racist?

Fair enough.

Your prerogative.

Though I think by saying nothing, you are in fact saying quite a lot.

Re: This isn't racist?

Though you noticably haven't condemned them, for hosting events that are for 'black, and minority ethnic ladies only'.

Re: This isn't racist?

Re: This isn't racist?

This thread is about the group who presented the play, Lancashire-wide Network for Ethnic Minority Women.

An openly racist group, who happen to be part financially supported by the tax payer.

Good turn out.

No, because he was a boy dog, and as well as discriminating along racial lines, they are also sexist.

Re: This isn't racist?

I suppose you'd call it just 'exclusionism', rather than racism, when in the seventies the National Front were calling for the repatriation for anyone whose skin wasn't white?

Well it was racist....

Not at all.

Everyone has the right to reply.

When something's blatantly racist, such as, and I quote, 'black and ethnic minority ladies only', and it's dismissed as not being racism, but...

Oh yeah.

Some discrimination is perfectly alright in your book....when you've had a few.

Homophobia being one such thing.

You really should stop yourself from posting when...

Re: This isn't racist?

As stated earlier, all those London boarding houses in the fifties and sixties, which had signs in their windows saying 'No blacks', weren't racist in your eyes, I suppose?

They were merely...

Re: This isn't racist?

No point trying to reason with you.

Obviously drunk.

There are laws which mean jobs can't be advertised that discriminate along lines of sexual orientation.

Just as they are laws which mean...

Re: This isn't racist?

'Black, and minority ethnic ladies only'.

People are being excluded because of their race.

Therefore it's racist.

;)

Same as when they state 'No idiots'.

Re: This isn't racist?

My beef is that such groups are receiving public funding, and that technically what they are doing, i.e. hosting events that aren't open to all races, is unlawful.

Support organisations, for...

Re: This isn't racist?

Sadly that appears to be the case.

This group, advertising events that only black, or ethnic minority women can attend, is no different from those boarding houses in the fifties, which had signs...

As British law stands, which makes racial discrimination unlawful in this country, neither do I.

Re: This isn't racist?

If that is the case, keeping such women in groups that are openly separatist, along racial lines, will only add to, and further their isolation from society at large.

Positive discrimination never...

That's certainly not down to me.

The Civic Arts Centre is promoting Hurried Steps. Which the poster says is 'presented by the Lancashire-wide Network for Ethnic Minority Women'.
