    Couple of questions...if a white person goes to africa do they experience racism? Or is it antagonism based on historical slavery etc, in which case is racism a white concept? And whats the difference between racism and inter society discrimination like tribal / clan / geographical grounds?


    smash the window just because of sake to do damage ... just a criminal act , and i am not worry about it ... damage window just because driver is different skin color .. thats the problem ... i am not going to go down to city, looking to revenge , or somehow make them(blacks) live bad .. as that wont make world happier, I just changed my thoughts about black people, and I dont think it is possible change by now. ... ive seen real attitude, felt scarry for a moment ... now just share my experiance ... ill never ever will come to africa, .... help either ... but i am not going make any damage to them with purpose, just because of their skin colour ...

    wrong ... :D eu country though... you may look in wikipedi and call all them out .. my colleagues (irish ) say that i am irish, even talk like a dub ... :pac:

    Sounds like a typical Dub thing to do from what I've heard.

    You've heard wrong.

    But the OP specifically asked for our thoughts on racism and Africans not on the state of his windscreen (although the picture was a help).

    I agree that the OP is (now) a racist. However he is the victim of a violent racist attack (and it was a racist attack he got his windscreen smashed in because of his skin colour) becoming racist because of one persons racist actions against you is an negative and illogical response but it is understandable if it can not be condoned.
    However my point is there has not been an ounce of concern that the OP got attacked by someone who has proven to be violently racist not just rant on the internet.

    If the doctor is committing criminal damage and intimating others then deport him too. If he is a asset to ireland then he is more than welcome

    Great bit of fiction OP. You didn't need to damage your own car making up the story tho.

    Glad you weren't physically hurt OP.

    Racism is disgusting and you were most certainly the victim of a racist attack, which could easily have had a worse outcome, had you been cut by the glass.

    Society doesn't really want to discuss cases where white people are attacked because of the colour of their skin. Liberal agenda rules the roost when it comes to most areas of society and no matter how bad the attack, it will still be ignored when white people are victims of racism. Natasha McShane is a perfect example of that. It is crystal clear that she, and her friend, were attacked because they were white and yet that aspect of the assault has been pretty much ignored. White guilt knows no boundaries it would seem.

    I know you are angry and rightfully so, but please don't blame this asshole's race for his actions. His parents and family will most likely be disgusted with him. He has also being raised in a world where it is seen as acceptable to be racist towards white people. Just listen to Dave Chappelle referring to a crown as 'drunk white alcoholics' with little consequence or some of the latest generation of Black Panther recruits. Huey Newton would be turning in his grave.

    I had a brother who was stabbed in London by five black guys. He lost a lung and was on life support for weeks. We didn't even know it happened until he was released from hospital as he had no ID on him. For a long time he hated black people, but now he is a stepfather to a black kid. Misplaced anger is the root of all racism. Don't hate a race of people because they share this kid's skin colour. Don't even hate this kid tbh. Hate what he did, sure and hate what led him to do it also. Maybe someone did mess with his head, who knows. If it were me, I would insist on an apology from him in person, along of course with reimbursement for the damage done.

    Sorry again for what you experienced.

    I can only imagine how frightening it must have been to have someone jump on your car bonnet and windscreen like that.

    Ive invested a lot of my hard earned money in my car. It is NCT'd , taxed and insured, i have full comprehensive insuarance with all bells and wistles , and windscreen cover does not affect my NCB , i would not make up storry just because of get insurance.... All details are in farmleigh security and cabra garda station, also witness statements. So if you want find out true, contact officials about it.

    I'm always amused by the collective noun "Africans" - this is the same Africa that is larger, has more countries and has more people than Europe. Libya and Zambia are just as far removed from each other in cultural terms as Ireland and Greece. Stereotyping in any case is wrong, but stereotyping the people of an entire continent is mind-numbingly stupid.

    I'm always amused that Africans are allowed to call themselves Africans, but when a white person does it, there is always somebody (in this case, yourself) who appears out of nowhere and goes on a spiel about how many different countries there are in Africa and you're not allowed call them African.

    You should have stopped the Africa day event and grabbed the microphone explaining that it's stupid to call it Africa day as there are more than 50 countries bla bla bla...

    Someone damaged your car - and that's a terrible pity

    Stop creating this ridiculous racist narrative about it

    You must be in so much shock then? I mean if you were *amazed* that black people were able to organize & assemble it must have felt surreal that just one was able to do so much damage to a car huh?


    Show racism the red card.

    I'd have bet him black and blue.

    Helps he was already halfway there.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,201 ✭✭✭languagenerd


    OP, as everyone's pointed out, you're not making sense. This guy jumps onto your car because you were white (which is racist and you say that's wrong) so now you hate all other black people (which is racist, but not wrong?!?!).

    Yes, that guy was a scumbag. But everyone else who shares the same skin colour? They have nothing to do with him or this incident. You were the victim of a racist attack & know how crap it felt - so how can you think racism's the right answer here?!

    Thanks for your coment. I've seen a lot bad things in my life, and physically hurt from smashed windscreen is less likely possible, also I am pretty good with martial arts ( Kyokushin ) for over 20 years , I admit that was very hard to stop myself to attack that black guy, but i am inteligent enough not to do so, just because of racism or damaged property, but the ice was very thin though. I've been trained very high skilled people, who were agains violation, and was saying that our power and skills can be used only to protect ourselves or others. I am sorry just about wasted time to sort out that winscreen, and change of my attitude to black people. ... That black guy said he is happy what he did and really enjoyed it ..... So no sorry from his side.
