Probably the fact that once again you try to make every thread turn political, and branding anyone who disagrees with you as a racist or thick.
Its embaressing.

Hardly - the poster in question launched a ridiculous stream of consciousness rant about cesspit communities, 'black music' and immigration, as the cause and effect of drug use in the UK; that's not ok, and if you find my response unpalatable or difficult, don't read it.

Everything is political - and what he said was both racist and thick; feel free to be 'embaressed' - I'm not.

The fact you've tried to score points by pointing out my spelling mistake tells me all I need to know.
You're better than everyone. We get it.

You should be embarrassed Bren2k, how about a little bit of humility and understanding of a different view point. You seem to have a default position of throwing the race card in an aggressive manner believing that only you can possibly be correct . In fact this attitude, in my opinion and with respect is typically why social issues are not discussed in an open and mature way. Opinions are not put forward not discussed and action not taken for fear of been given some label. This modern phenomenon and attitude is apparently one of the reasons for lack of action in the many instances of child abuse in Rotherham and other towns where support workers, social workers etc were restricted in their response to the problem for many years as the powers that be in those councils were more concerned about the race card being thrown at them than protecting the vulnerable . A balance needs to be struck or we will find ourselves in cowering in fear, afraid to speak up and contribute.

Ok. The leaving it alone point fell on stoney ground.
Personally I thought the first tirade was over the top and did at least focus on some racial stereotypes but unfortunately the response was equally over the top.
It was already slightly off topic for Walker but I thought it was a good discussion. There doesn't seem to be any more discussion apart from the follow on from the particular posts so I may as well end it there.
If new news comes out about Walker we can start a new one.
