Well I'm an AccyWebber with the power to add or deduct large lumps of karma but I'm more likely to deduct it from someone who is being racist.

I was actually accused on here of being racist because I stated that I have friends of different colours and ethic origins and regard them all as equal human beings. I was misquoted and then vilified.

There used to be a shop in Whalley Road owned by a West Indian friend of mine who was a dressmaker. She got plenty of business from white people. They didn't boycott her shop or shun her because she's black. She moved away from Accy but only to be close to her daughter who got a job elsewhere.

You will find the odd racist on AccyWeb just as you will find them anywhere but that doesn't make the whole of AccyWeb racist or the whole of Accrington.

You will find negative posts against certain groups of people such as the travellers who camped on Aldi car park and left their rubbish behind and used the supermarket wall as a loo but that is not racism that is disgust at their behaviour which is an affront to the rest of the inhabitants of the borough.

Has your wife experienced racist attacks or comments here in Accrington?
