With all the furore surrounding Nick Griffins Question Time appearance and after reading/ watching a fair bit about him and Mark Collett (former head of the youth arm of the BNP and one of Griffins co accused when he went to court for incitement of racial hatred) I have a renewed sense of disgust and simply need to vent it here.
The issue of race and multiculturalism is very close to my heart. I have always been brought up to be tolerant of other races and cultures and this is due in no small part to my mothers sister marrying a Muslim and converting to the faith when I was a small child. My Aunt chose a hard path to tread and has suffered for it at the hands of both her White peers and the Asian family she married into simply for falling in love but she has weathered the storm of hostility and intolerance in order to make a life and raise a family. My two cousins are both half Asian and half White and they too have had to put up with racism and bigotry from both camps.
Basically it's not a barrel of laughs when you are neither one nor the other.
Both cousins are married, one to a Hindu lady (which has caused it's own problems with our Muslim relatives) and one to a White man with whom she has had a little boy and who's parents are the most hateful bunch of single minded bigots alive, to the point he has cut ties in order, again, to make a life and a family.
In short, the word "integrated" should have been coined for that branch of my family. As I get older and do grown up things such as having children I am finding that we have more and more in common and I have more of an opportunity to spend time with all of them. The recent occasions, get togethers, birthday parties and weddings I have attended have opened my eyes to just how easy it is for a bunch of people from all walks of life and cultures to simply get along fine. Spend time together. Have a chat. Have a drink. Eat some nice food. Watch the kids play together.
I suppose my simple question and one that I would like to direct at the BNP and it's voters is this: What on earth is wrong with that?
What?
Based on the true policies of the BNP as opposed to the hastily polished up and evasive "public" ones, you clowns would not allow my cousin to meet, fall in love, marry and have a child with the really nice lad she chose. You are against all these beautiful things, against people actually being happy and not being filled with spite and hate. "Oh Racial purity, racial purity" you shout. Well how about this: fuck your racial purity. Fuck the idealistic premise that some people only have one type of DNA in their makeup and some are "mixed". Are you out of your minds? How far do we have to go back before the race of man is undiluted?
My ancestors were Normans ie they came over from Normandy which is in France. Does that make me French? If you didn't know me and I told you this would you shy away from me in the pub? Perhaps you would be scared of being tainted by my stale garlic breath or offended by my proclivity for wearing stripy jumpers and berets at a jaunty angle? Perhaps you would keep your sister or daughter away from me lest she be influenced by my Norman-ness and develop an attraction towards thin moustaches or refuse your roast dinner in favour of some garlic buttered snails and frogs legs? Maybe you would awaken in the wee small hours, sitting bolt upright in bed and screaming, your partner expressing concern for your sweating brow as you explain "IT WAS SO REAL, OH MY GOD OUR MARIE MARRIED THAT IMMIGRANT, THE ONE WITH ALL THE ONIONS AND THE BIKE"
Sound silly? That is precisely the level of strange prejudice and messed up logic you are demonstrating now when you judge and create hatred where there is none and it can be applied to any race, culture or creed. You hurt people and want to mess with their lives to satisfy your inner lack of belief in yourselves. You need to feel like you are part of something in order to feel validated, if you spend your time agreeing with others and focusing your rage you won't then dwell on your own insecurities. It's the easiest thing on the world to pick on others and much, much harder to analyse your own shortcomings. Basically you are forever trapped in the playground and you will never grow up.
If your racial identity is so strong then get on with it, balls to everyone else. Be the best you can be. Marry who the hell you want and have kids that are whatever colour you choose but don't for one moment pretend to yourself that you have the right to dictate to anyone else, much less entire races of people what they can do or who they can shag or what they can eat or what clothes they can wear.
You are all bellends anyway, none of you can stick to your beliefs for more than two seconds without feeling guilty or tripping over your own ill thought out logic "Oh Halle Berry is fit", "Oh my colleague/my neighbour/that shopkeeper/so and so's brother is sound for a Black/Paki/Gay/Polish, it's the rest of them I have a problem with, coming over here and taking all our jobs and women and eating all that strange food."
Put simply, there is no hate but that which you create. Hate is not a form of energy that needs to be transferred, it is a ghost until you give it a form and a purpose. Without hate and without you we all get along fine so if anyone should "fuck off back" it is you. Do a bit of research. Trace your families history and it's lineage. Find out where you come from and go back there because we do not want your kind here.
