BAME: (Sadly, used to refer to members of non-white communities in the UK).

Do these blacks (I use the term loosely because so many look Anglo Saxon) not realise that they are just as much racist as those that they accuse of being racist. Couple of points to emphasise my thoughts. 1. The Abo's have and are still making a song and dance about the stolen generation. Yes they have valid points and do deserve recognition as what happened was a form of utter cruelty. No mention of the amount or single white women who because of religion or marital status had their babies taken from them at birth or the amount of kids that where shipped out from the UK so serve as slave labour in religious camps here in Oz. If the aboriginals where to have joined forces with the whites instead of declaring it a solely black issue the government of the day would have had to have done something more than they did. This lead to the governments for decades and still doing it of hiding from the issue by it being a racist issue.
2. The women in Australia are up in arms about their treatment within the work place and at home but when this is discussed with a panel that includes aboriginal members of the discussion they want to make it a racist issue and go along without the backing of the white women. None of them can see that the government is using this to sit on their fat behinds and do stuff all about it. I still maintain that there are good and bad in all and I just want to freedom to choose who I associate with and not be told I have to make allowances because they are different and that goes for disabled as well as a few of them have crept into the fiasco.
If you want a good laugh in these troubled times just follow our man in marketing S Morris who has just recently made a new position of another prime minster for women which only means that he is prime minster for men LOL. That is only the tip of the comical iceberg with this motely crew in power.

John the word WOKE comes from the street slang/patois used by the youth of this and other countries, it derives from the vernacular used by the African American culture of the U.S.A. Awake is often rendered as woke as in ' I was sleeping now I am woke ' It appears to have become a byword for social awareness . BAME is an acronym for BLACK,ASIAN, MINORITY ETHNIC, and is used to categorise the ethnic minorities in the U.K. by both the government and those fighting racist behaviour in the U.K.

#6 Why shouldn't we be a white majority, we are after all by our very nature an Anglo-Saxon nation, or do you find that objectionable
#12 Sadly?? BAME is an acronym was introduced by the very society which it describes and is used on official forms
#14 where-in you had the audacity to correct someone, 'Do these "people" ' is considered racist and people have been fined for using the expression.
I like most seamen was never racist having sailed/worked with various nationalities, but the constant playing of the race card gets up my nose, as do BAME footballers on £100,000 per week complaining they are disadvantaged. Also BAME peoples complaining they are left behind in society........excuse me...............The President was BAME, the current Vice President is BAME, most of our doctors/nurses/specialists are BAME, did the non-Bame (we cannot call ourselves white, it is offensive to BAME) hold them back
FWE on the subject.
#18, £100,000 per week must be playing for a championship side if that is all they are on :rolleyes: The wage structure is all wrong the likes of Marcus Rashford should be on a lot more than say Sadio Mane. Let's face it the cost of living in Manchester has to be more than living in Senegal just saying :rolleyes:
No objection to living in a society that has a white majority. But I certainly would not liked to have lived in a society that a Landlord could and did have a notice on the door.
No Dogs.
No Blacks
No Chinese
No Irish.
I do agree though the Race card is played all to often. I remember a cadet I sailed with from Glasgow telling me he was in a night club and a load of Asians started causing trouble. The police were called and the first thing was the Asians started shouting racial discrimination because they were being removed along with non Asians . Thankfully the police wear body cams now that and CCTV. While we have a long way to go in racial equality compared to some countries we are getting there.
Not sure where you are coming from Keith as I keep hearing? Black lives matter, Blacks are discriminated against, Blacks vote as well and so forth and so forth. Yet I am not to use the word Black. Makes one wonder who is being discriminated against. Here is Oz the matter can be solved at the next census if we all tick the Aboriginal Torres Straight native box as one does not have to prove that they are not.
