Lots of hits for racism in Belgium:

Belgium heads EU racism league - News - The Independent

Sixteen thousand people across the 15 EU countries were asked in a survey to pass judgement on themselves. The results, presented yesterday by the European Commission, show, in the report's words, "a worrying level of racism and xenophobia in member-states".
The dubious distinction of first place goes to Belgium, home of the Commission. According to the study, ordered by Eurocrats to mark the passing of "European Year Against Racism", 22 per cent of Belgians professed to be "very racist" and 33 per cent "quite racist".
Britain weighs in at equal seventh with Germany, with 8 per cent self- confessed "very racist" and 24 per cent "quite racist". A further 33 per cent of Britons considered themselves "a little racist". Only in Luxembourg and Portugal do a majority feel "not at all racist".

Racism rampant in Belgium’s labour market | The Bulletin

The Belgian labour market is based on “ethnostratification”, according to the European Network Against Racism (ENAR), meaning that racial and ethnic origin play a major role in determining a person’s employment prospects.
The network found Belgium to be a source of “continuing inequality and an undeniable hierarchy of socio-economic positions”. The least likely to benefit from employment opportunities in Europe, according to the network, are those of Maghreb origin from North Africa. In Belgium, that translates to those of Moroccan background.

By contrast, the study of 80 countries over three decades found Western countries were most accepting of other cultures with Britain, the U.S., Canada and Australia more tolerant than anywhere else.

They are indeed racist, but apparently that's the way the world is going.

Burnt State has changed my mind. I used to think it was wrong to stereotype people into race and class groupings. I thought each individual should be judged on their behavior and the content of their character, not the color of their skin, or what cultural group they belonged to.

That was wrong. Burnt State has shown me that race is the way of the future. In the 20th century economic class was used by Marxists to compel groups to fight each other. In the 21st century race and ethnicity are what the Marxists will use to divide and conquer.

White people are only 7% of the population. We are on the verge of extinction. Japanese culture is worth preserving. Tibetan culture is worth preserving. Native American culture is worth preserving. African culture is worth preserving. Chinese culture is worth preserving. Is European culture is worth preserving?

You don't have to worry just yet about the elimination of the white race or their history. Last I checked, every time I open a newspaper or turn on a tv set it seems like it's white history day, pretty much every day of the week.

And you're obviously still caught in a tangled web of ideology and still not reading anything I'm posting. The future has nothing to do with racial divides but the harmonization of races in multicultural countries due to mixing. In fact, not too long from now pretty much all our descendants will be shades of brown and yellow. Nationalism, racial identities, those things will just fade away and then MLK's hope will come true; because, then people will no longer be able to use skin colour to critique or judge others. We'll all just be similar in our infinite diversity in infinite combinations.

Northern Ontario shows 1.5% "visible minorities" ... that may also have a lot to do with associations you did or didn't form.

What was it like growing up? I couldn't find census data online.

I grew up in a racist, sexist environment that had this overlay of violence that permeated most things, all while nestled in the confines of the bush. At the dead end at the edge my street where the pathways in the entrance to the bush led to the two different grade schools, there was always a bear trap with a big piece of raw meat hanging there each spring. My city was 80,000 with a reserve right at the edge of the city. I grew up hearing drunk Indian jokes pretty much every day at school. The lone black kid in our school, like the lone racial identity in any school, faced odd torments. I remember the one day we all hunted through the school grounds to find his hood to his new jacket. He was in tears and upset. His hood was found soon enough and full of human feces. Another kid from our grade had taken it out of our school to wipe his ass with after he went for a dump in the bush.

Later on when I worked in what was the most violent bar in the city for a few years as a summer job I had my life threatened multiple times - an interesting pace that made me want to take up writing, talk about character study. There was one guy there whose nickname was Nigger, and he claimed that name himself, a very tough dockworker who was the only person I had met up to that point in my life who had mixed racial heritage. He threatened me after punching this guy in the face who was begging for beer. I was sweeping up the glass broken at his feet following the brief brawl. I looked up at him while sweeping. In very slow, punctuated words he said to me, "Don't say a word!" I stayed quiet and went to the bathroom to clean up all the blood sprayed on the walls from the punch - the guy's cheek had split open. Later he returned all sewn up - his buddy the furniture repair guy stitched him up with a fish hook. His glass was filled with draft at last call by the guy who punched him, all while some guy was standing on a table howling like a wolf and proceeded to play an invisible harmonica. Tequila always made him that way. It was like that growing up.

Pt. 2 later.

I am no fan of aggressive cops. I am a lover of all races.
This young thug flirted with danger and got killed. He basically asked to get shot. I think a tazer would have been better but under the circumstances it may have not been an option.
The community's response is unjustified in my opinion and perpetuates the stereotype of a black community.

Couldn't have said it better

Yes but surely......

Mike, where did you find this ? Is it possible it is satirical in nature ?

No that's ok ... I kinda figured it like that ...

No that's ok ... I kinda figured it like that ...

Well no, there's a really interesting twist where the stars aligned to create something different for me. As previously mentioned, in my Catholic high school i was taught some interesting books that sensitized me to oppression in a profound manner including those other two and Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. Learning and living compassion in the concentration camp was a head trip for me as a teenager, especially up against the palpable hypocrisy of the school system i was in. There were so many scenes of watching students get demeaned and beaten by teachers; the priests were the worst - some good ultra violence with weapons there. I remember the one kid vomiting in grade nine science class because he had never seen anyone beaten before, and there was his teacher beside him pummelling the only aboriginal kid in the school - he had just been pushed too far. His torments continued throughout the semester of grade 9 biology - some extreme moments.

Years later I read The Ecstasy of Rita Joe in grade 12 English class which educated me about what Aboriginals were going through in Canada. I read every book on the subject in our school library and then moved on to abortion rights. Books changed me deeply. I challenged the staff repeatedly. Years later i would discover that not just one but both the priest principals of my school were brought up on charges of sexual assault of students, one being quite infamous in fact. But i also recently met the teacher who taught me these two books on the right. I explained to him how that had shaped my teaching on a profound level and that equity and and anti-oppression work along with compassion were cornerstones in how i taught and that he was the reason. He started crying right there in front of me in church. Decades later he still had never had a student tell him that his teaching had impacted them in any way. It was an interesting moment.

But the other thing that was pivotal in my early years is the role of my father. He taught me about domestic violence and the challenges of men caring for their sons. He did the best with the tools he had i suppose. He was also an engineer at our steel plant who had come from Austria as a visiting engineer; they were always bringing over people from all over the world to that mill to cultivate diverse global skills in steel manufacturing and design processes. My father stayed in the city for various reasons and played on what was the only multicultural soccer team in the city. Every visiting foreign national that came into his engineering division found his way onto that soccer team, or to our house and in our car on soccer trips, so I met people whom he befriended that were Taiwanese, Iranian, North African etc. some becoming life friends. I learned a lot about other people from around the world up close and personal while growing up.

My anti-racism training began at a very early age up in Northern Ontario and that made all the difference in the world up against the extremes I was seeing. To this day it's not abnormal for guys attending the local university there, who are African International students, to get followed home by the cops from the mall and then get arrested mistakenly when they get to the university dorm. Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario - it was a teaching city for me.

Elimination of differences will be infinite diversity. Getting rid of all cultures is diversity. Everyone being the same is diversity. Wow.

Your fascinating ability to avoid basic logic and reason is what makes you so dangerous. This "non-think" ability as seen in George Orwell's book 1984 has always been necessary for maintaining socialist dictatorships, but it's still amazing.

I admit I don't understand it. Since slavery is so obviously inherently evil, I simply do not understand how a person could work to advance communist slavery the way you do.

It doesn't really matter. What does matter is that since 20th century class war failed so miserabley, Identity Politics and race war is the strategy you have chosen to advance "revolution" in the 21st century, and we abolitionists are being forced to fight that way.

You will lose in the end. It is a fact of nature and the Universe that irrational and illogical ways create suffering and failure, but I know you don't really care about that.

As i write this, a very interesting interview with two civil right attorneys on press play touching on straw men proposals and possible unconscious racist attitudes within the police culture and perhaps a public mental health problem involved. I'll post the link when it gets posted.

 

[Wade]

How so?

Because I think Anyone who chooses to rob a store should expect some blowback somewhere along the line including possible harm from the shopkeeper themselves regardless of the racial/sexual/religion (or even if they are LGBT) makeup of the perpetrator. For someone To be carrying a sign bemoaning that sign either has their head up their ass, or its meant to be intentionally sardonic/sarcastic, something the onion would publish.

 

[manxman]

Its called irony.

 

[mike]

Mike, where did you find this ? Is it possible it is satirical in nature ?

Rense had it up yesterday, so think there is a fair chance its photoshopped satire.

But i thought it apt in the story.

I saw video of browns mother saying he was a good boy and wouldnt hurt anyone, but thats in stark contrast to the video from the store he stole from.
It wasnt enough that he took the shopkeepers merchandise, when the poor fellow objected he turns around and walks back in to do the standover tactic so common in bullys. I mean he was already out the door with his ill gotton gains, he could have just kept going. But he wanted to do the standover just for the power it made him feel.

His mothers "hes a good boy" comments are almost cliche in that many crims are indeed very sweet to their mums, but to the rest of the world are total thugs.

Im actually very surprised at the public reaction in this case, the guy was looting, arrogantly using his size and demeanour to help himself to others property

Katrina: Governor Orders Troops to Shoot and Kill Looters

So his mothers mentalty, despite the video showing him coming back into the store to intimidate the man hes just stolen from is mirrored in that pic

And the victim mentality is also cliche in criminal circles, many crims happy to victimise others in their society are the first to cry foul when the law catches up with them

I think its rooted in a lack of personal responsibility, that lack of responsibility is what allows them to take from others and feel no remorse, and also fuels that sense of persecution when caught. They dont have a sense of having done anything wrong which feeds both sides of the dynamic.

 

[Wade]

Its called irony.

So it is thank you, sometimes the most appropriate word escapes you when you most want to use it.

 

[mike]

So yes , i did some digging and it is shopped

The black community has every reason to be angry with the police, and the brutality they inflict. But making a martyr out of the kid that robbed a store and attacked a police officer is just mind boggling. Micheal Brown is one of the worst things to happen to race relations in a long time.”

Shortly after the posting, Bdawgid admitted in comments to Photoshopping the picture, “It is definitely shopped. Badly. By me…” The following edit was also added to the caption above, “Edit: Yes, I shopped this. It captured mine, and many others, frustration with this whole situation.”
