1) Are. You. Disputing. That?

2) Please. For the fourth time of asking. Show me where "bigotry, discrimination, or hatred" is displayed.

Here it is in bold as well. "bigotry, discrimination, or hatred"

Selective quoting of my post doesn't mean I have to repeat the explanation.

I have explained clearly using examples of how the leaflet is sectarian. I won't do so again.

I substituted white and non-white for catholic and protestant and republican and democrat for nationalist and unionist, that is all. Rather than a daft makey-up comparison, it showed the naked sectarianism inherent in the leaflet.

Gerry Kelly of Sinn Féin has been criticised for circulating a leaflet in North Belfast which quoted the figures from the 2011 Census in order to appeal to voters on the basis of their religion.

"Protestant 45.67%, Catholic 46.94%. Make a Change. Make History"

Seán Fearon, Sinn Féin Republican Youth committee member, said: “This is an absolute disgrace. The very antithesis of what republicanism represents. . . .not how many bloody Catholics and Protestants live in an area and assuming they’ll vote on ethno-nationalist lines as a result.”

Cumann member Joseph Donaghy also said: “Turning the race for the seat in North Belfast into a sectarian head count is absolutely disgraceful from the party I have dedicated so much of my time to and had so much belief in. Republicanism has been let down greatly by the Gerry Kelly leaflet.”

I do think there would be outrage if, say, the Labour party in the UK circulated a leaflet in London which said: "White British - 44.9%, Non-White British - 55.1%. Make the Change. Make History."

Race =/= Religion
