(7,804 posts)The issue about which you might think I'm being alarmist isn't so much that other unwholesome activities are gong on under everyone's noses, the issue is that the LEFT, who are supposed to be the champions of the rights of the oppressed are preventing analysis of the unwholesome activities of a group of "oppressed" people, or, worse, smearing the aura of "oppression" over unwholesome groups who are not in fact oppressed at all. That's the problem that concerns me, and i really don't know why you think I'm being unnecessarily alarmist, have you seen any major mea culpa from those on the UK left responsible for smoke-screening Rotherham? I haven't. There has been not a single article or public commentary anywhere about the obvious ranking system developing among the left's oppressed in which the ranking system has been addressed. Muslims trump women. And in Rotherham Muslims trumped working class young women, which is even more disturbing. It is an OBVIOUS consequence of labelling victims as automatically virtuous. It's a pseudo-intellectual process and it needs to be dismantled, it's enabling abuse. Why do you think so many working class people are turning to UKIP? These people should be part of the UK left's stronghold.
We have reached the stage where child abuse is less important than "racism". There is no denying this, Rotherham could not have happened if that were not the case.
How far does this have to go? Do we have to wait until gay pubs in England are swarmed, and the patrons restrained and thrown from buildings? Do you think I'm being alarmist in that anticipation? Did you anticipate Rotherham? Did you anticipate Cologne?
(Just in case you think I'm weird, I bought my cigarettes from Mr Tariq this morning, Muslim shopkeeper, 1 block from my house, have done for a decade, great guy, best bud)
