The sad thing about this Poppy, is that I am now convinced that you are either hell bent on causing grief or perhaps even worse than that you are indeed unable to undertand that what I said is not what you think you read.

The real tragedy is that in real life people like you cause untold harm when they report to others the racism they perceive to exist, which is then retaliated against and we end up with all-out riots because some fool is actually unable to see that they have made a mistake.

Yes I said something which you misinterpreted and called me a racist for having said and I quoted it in order to clarify for others who may not have read the original post. What I said and what you threw your little horrified tantrum about are not one and the same thing.

Never at any time did I ever state that I had to remind myself that anyone was human. I said that I had to stop and remind myself who was which race because EVERYBODY is human! How you can see those two statements as meaning the same thing is beyond me.

As I said, you alone in your ignorance on this message board do not worry me so much as the thousands of other people of exactly the same mentality out there in the world who scream "racist!" at others where no racism exists and often where the person being condemned has made an anti-racist statement such as the MP who wanted to help her non-English speaking constituents to get further in their education by suggesting that teaching them English before they entered main stream school might help. How the blazes can that be a racist statement? Sadly it was taken as such and she was vilified for having dared to suggest it.

Now if I moved to Spain and my kids were going to attend a Spanish speaking school if the local MP suggested it would be a good idea for them to learn Spanish first and proposed that they be taught before entering the main stream education system I'd be all for it.
