Racism in Europe

Hello guys,

On June 15, 2006, the European Parliament adopted a resolution on the increase in racist and homophobic violence in Europe. The adoption of the document was a reaction to a rapid and worrying rise of anti-discriminatory, racist, anti-Semitic and xenophobic behavior in many European states.

Among the most worrying incidents that urged the European Parliament to adopt the resolution were:

- the ban made by Russian authorities on the march for equality and tolerance for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people (LGBT), which was planned to take place on May 27th in Moscow
- the murder of a black woman and the Belgian child whom she was babysitting by a young right-wing Belgian extremist, which previously also wounded a woman of Turkish origin
- The kidnapping, torture and murder of a Jewish man in February 2006 in France, by a gang of 22 criminals
- The ethnically motivated murder of Chaib Zehaf in March, 2006, in France.
- The torture and murder of a transsexual living in Portugal, in February 2006, by a group of adult and minor persons

Many other similar events also happened in Germany, France, Poland, Russia, Belgium and other states.

I applaud their efforts to try to clean things up. I'm also glad we don't have those problems (in such a grand scale) in America. Thanks for the post!

Thanks for not quoting or posting that correctly.

Our outright, public racism is nowhere near what it is in Europe. It's more of a deeper, unconscious racial attitude, which I would say is much better than racial violence or homophobic violence.

@European cv,

Hi to you,

I think that any form of racism need to be tackled...In Europe things are very different from US because there is a a lot of anger and frustration...I think that talking about racism is not always the case even though it exist at certain extent...

You need to live in Europe to understanad the reality created by politicians and power greedy governaments, we all know that they always put their own selfish interests ahead of the citizens wellbeing..

I wonder why people are so tirend and intolerant..and i came to the conclusion that for each decision governaments make it's us that pay the price on whatsoever..

Instead to put money to help everybody who really is in need, they use money to reach public attention by duing what it is "politically correct".. I see people in the street gasp for food and people who never worked in their lives have governament support just because part of that " minority"..... It sucks!!

So the word racist should be used very careful because today too many people are simply outraged, is that racism ?...Each individuals has their own ideas and opinions based on their own experiences, they are entitled to have different ones...

For me everybody have the same rights... But today governaments structures like UK governament create coflicted societies and huge social gaps where people who fought the war and stood once for their country are put aside in term of civil rights and needs behind others transpanted communities which are well look after.... Is that right?

I wonder why some British Muslims need to be terrorists?...Are they live in a free country, have an education and luxuries most of no british muslim /english born citizens lack of..?Does it make anyone feel hugely uncofortable and angry at the same time....

So i ask what's the solution? When anybody break the law shouldn't be punished? No matter what community is from? How come that British press never condemn terrostis openly, it tends to forget quickly but remember when an english block speak up as i am doing right now by lebelling them inappropriately? I have the right to feel safe in my country!

Life is not easy in Europe especially in UK....At the least American Muslim have embraced the American Flag....or it looks like it!

Because they are a bunch of cowards and they are afraid their offices will be burned down. I give the UK ten to fifteen years and it will be a muslim dominated country with a muslim government.

My God i hope not!!!!!!!

I think they are much more than cowards!

English society have got issues with the British Imperialism history, somehow they have managed to be brainwashed not to feel proud of their history and conquers, but be ashamed of it; so they denigrate their own people by stolen other cultures identities(Asian/Indian their colonies)) to create a new more accepted breed of English people!

But this is only part of an insane reality. The problem raise when criminals are treated unequally or when anyone raise this issue which happen rarely, become alienated and condemned by a blind, ignorant and hypocrite society....

How sick is that? How morally wrong and shameful is to work and act against your own interests? What about English cultural roots, history and belief?

Why this is happening? I want to be proud to belong and recognize my roots as everybody else...no s...t\!

Freedom is gone forever and we are prisoner of social conventions or by the Human Rights hideous way to back up criminals, what about the victims? Why the world pay attention to GTO way to treat terrorists minding their well-being according to Geneva Convention? Does anybody forget all the people who died on 9/11 and other part of the world because of ignorance and hate towards our way of leaving? I would like to remind that our western societies with his laws has allowed anyone to have the liberty and opportunity to live a good life or manufacture bomb and terrorist plans against us, at the end is a choice and people have to pay the consequences of that choice.......

Now we have business to do...What really can be done to fight this spectral enemy? An enemy with no face who can be anywhere living, even next to me maybe, who knows! That really make me feel uncomfortable!!!! I do not like it at all..

Well, one thing that sure as heck ain't helping is the "Bush bashing attitude" which seems to be the 'in' thing to do these days in Europe, Canada and the US.

Although I don't know much about racism in Europe, I can't imagine it being worse there than it is here. We have been practicing it a lot longer.

Longer? I doubt it very much. Racism was alive and well in Europe long before the white men came to the Americas in 1492.

These days racism is reversed in Europe as you can read in Sherman's posts.

Well....... if you want me to walk you through it. Very Happy

What ever problem Europe is having we have had the same problems, only our policy dealt with it probably worse.

I'm not sure what the Bush bashing comment has to do with anything, so I killed 2 birds with one stone.:cool:

Wrong. Europe is split, has been so for 100's of years and will be so in the future. The US is split as well but not like Europe. Europe is split in as many directions as they have countries. Here in the US we only need to deal with the dummy-crats, which is a minor problem, really. Very Happy

In the end it will all work out, but we will have no help from old friend Europe, that continent will be run by muslims in the near future, thanks to European political correctness and their cowardly politicians.:thumbdown:

Germany’s top general, Wolfgang Schneiderhan, has resigned after defence minister Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg accused the army of hiding facts about an air strike in Afghanistan in September which may have killed dozens of civilians.

After Dubai, will Greece be next? This question is technically a category error, since Dubai World is not a state but a state-owned company. But many investors rightly do not care about the difference. Last week investors started to fret about sovereign default in earnest. So what about Greece?
