Not white enough for Rose of Tralee?

    Stormfront at it again.
    A mixed-race contestant who is competing in this year's Rose of Tralee says she has no fears about travelling to Ireland to take part in the contest despite a series of racist remarks made against her on a website.

    London Rose Belinda Brown (25) has been targeted by users of race hate website Stormfront.org since being selected in Cricklewood last month.

    Born in Jamaica but raised in Ahoghill, Co Antrim, Irish-based racists have questioned Brown's right to compete in the beauty pageant because of her mixed-race parentage.

    "This mixed female is indeed no Rose of Tralee," posted one member, War Maiden, on the site. "Last time I checked our women were pale-skinned maidens from our Emerald Isle, not some mud from London."

    Another, with the name White Patriot, wrote: "The London entrant for this year's Rose of Tralee is a half caste mongrel. What the hell are the organisers thinking of? Whites who mix with blacks shouldn't be surprised when they get treated like animals themselves. They are traitors to their race, culture and family. We have no sympathy for them."

    Charmed. I bet that War Maiden is a right minger too. Stormfront is offline

    Mike.

    Ironic that Róisin Dubh (translation Black Rose) is often used as a metaphor for Ireland.

    Anyway roses are supposed to be red. Them white roses don't look as nice and die sooner in my experience. They should only let pure 100% red skinned native americans enter the Rose of Tralee from now on imho.

    you should probably clarify who exactly you want to be exterminated. just incase there are some misunderstandings.

    While the rest of us dont agree with their views, they are entitled to have them.

    Theres plenty of people on here that have stupid views on various other subjects. It's very annoying at time but it's their opinion and they are entitled to it.

    +1 totally agree ... Their is more than one way to view anything and not everyone will view the same side of every topic in question, hence debate and discussion ...

    Entitled me hole - No one is entitled to talk like that - stupid views on topics are one thing but downright racism is a whole different kettle of fish

    I have to laugh at the people defending Stormfront members' rights. Delicious ironing. There's plenty of people far more deserving of your well intentioned liberal views. :pac:

    They clearly are. Stormfront has been going quite a while now you know.

    Why am I more enetitled to insult someone over their stupidity than an other part of them? At the end of the day it's words. They cant do you any harm.

    If I say some truely horrific stuff about what I get up to with your mother, does it injure you in any way?

    The world needs stuff to get all superior and uppety about from time to time.



    I dont understand why people get so worked up about these things. Just laugh it off as stuipid people voicign stupid opinions.

    Raceism, just like sexism, homophobia, ageism and every other ism exists in the world and always will, theres no use loseign sleep over it. TBH if nobody objected to other peoples ideas and thoughts orif everyone was tolerant of everybody else , people would get fairly bored .

    Since when was blatant insulting a right? "Half caste mongrel", "animal", "mud"? If they have a particular view well yes, that is their view and there's freedom of speech, but they can express it without resorting to that kind of filth.

    Unless they choose to, which they are. Just like we are entitled (and have done) to call them whatever we like in return because of their views.

    I know what you and I can promise you I dont lose any sleep over it but at the same time if I hear people saying this kinda stuff I wontpass no remarks to it, thats the first step to making it acceptable.

    It is common enough and there is no way to get rid of it but that doesnt mean that we should take it as the norm

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 37,214 ✭✭✭✭Dudess


    Snyper, I think you should host an "alternative Rose of Tralee".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 255 ✭✭KBarry

    Not a great photo but I would. Wouldn't be surprised if she wins it tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,441 ✭✭✭✭jesus_thats_gre


    She doesn't really tickly my fancy at all now..

    Thumbs up to the Stormfront lads - ahem.. They must be stepping up their campain..

    You have obviously never watched the show to come to that conclusion :pac:

    Every year there is at least one mentally unbalanced yank who bought her way into the contest despite not looking the best.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,367 ✭✭✭Agamemnon


    SHOCK! HORROR! Stormfront morons are talking shite!

    In other news, today is Sunday and tomorrow will be Monday.

    Public castration..only way...:mad:

    So they don't mind blacks or whites? They just don't like half casts?

    I had the same argument with some one recently.

    An opinion is neither right or wrong but you cant totally disagree with it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,692 ✭✭✭✭OPENROAD


    The Rose of Tralee is still going :eek:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭PrivateEye


    Stormfront isn't worth getting in a state over. They're completely paranoid over there, loads of accounts are actually lefties stirring sh!t, and every so often a fascist or two ends up 'organising' a get together that ends in a few little 'white warriors' running back to their homes to continue the race war from their P.C

    They're absolute filth, these people are not simply racists. Many openly identify as 'fascists' :rolleyes: They are bottom of the evolutionary cycle, real proper excuses for human beings. Leave them to themselves over there. They're politics are completely messed up too. In Britain, you have people wrapped in the union jack giving Nazi Salutes. Chimps dressed up like humans.

    Give them their ****e little forum, providing they don't dare show their faces in public, be it on a street, a demo, a terrace or anywhere else.

    You take that back. Chimps are lovely creatures. Just look at Diddy Kong from Donkey Kong country. Not so much the later sequels, they were a bit meh, but the first one was good.

    Very true.

    Apoligies to all chimps who were offended by being compared to the Stormfront folk. That was unfair of me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,778 ✭✭✭✭Kold


    So people on Stormfront are being racist now? That's front page news.


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 2,493 ✭✭✭Fulton Crown


    In case you have forgotten The Rose of Tralee is NOT a beauty contest - it is "A lovely girls contest".

    It is held in a circus tent in Tralee which is close to being the arsh hole of Ireland and is usually full of RTE liggers and sweaty middle aged gimps.

    + one supreme ass ole with a mic...Ryan T.

    All ladies should be elligible for entry...even gingers...but hey is this really prime time telly ???


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,528 ✭✭✭OK-Cancel-Apply


    How sheltered of a human being do you have to be to post on stormfront? It's astonishing that these people actually exist. Racism is a horrid infection of the mind. Like many other things.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,283 ✭✭✭PrivateEye


    A load of brave white warriors got arrested up in the mountains a few months back, Stormfront is probably 55% fascists and 45% people acting along. They're completely paranoid over there, they're always looking over their shoulder.

    It's better to not read that website, It'd make you worry about the state of the country.

    I think their filth is exactly what is needed and I'll fight for their right to say it.
    It exposes them as idiots and guarantees they'll never be taken seriously.
    It's the subversive ones you need to be really careful of, the quiet racists.

    I'd say it's comprised substantially of social outcasts, loners/people who weren't hugged enough, just looking for a 'group' or 'tribe' to belong to.
