I've just seen a shocking video online which shows a woman in Toronto, Canada refusing treatment for her son because there where "no white doctors available". The video has made me sick to the core. It's really got me thinking, is racism actually taking a step backwards? Hate crimes in the UK towards non whites post brexit have risen 42% and in the USA post election a massive 103% (BBC).



With Donald Trumps controversial thoughts on immigration and Mexico; is this causing more whites to class blacks, muslims, Mexicans or anyone without white skin as second grade citizens? Not only in the USA but worldwide.

Also, should people be allowed exercise their right of 'free speech' to promote racism like many controversial figures and groups do in the UK (e.g. Tommy Robinson, EDL, BNP etc..) ?

**** race.

Dont care what colour you are; I care who you are as a person and what you can do. Racism reports from the BBC are completely ideologically corrupt since they discriminate against whites when hiring reporters, researchers and many other job roles. Multiple of their vacancies say "only Black, Asian and non-white ethnic minorities may apply." If McDonald's for example put on their website "No blacks need apply" then imagine the uproar.

Here are 4 video's which I hope people will watch no matter what your view's of the people who are featured in the video's:













EDIT: I hope @eejit replies to this topic since he seems to be an extremely educated person with interesting views.

The real reason hate crimes have risen is because of the liberals protesting trump. Not saying by any means that all liberals do it, but enough do it that it can be a problem. And Donald trump is not racist towards Mexicans or muslims. Donald trump specifically states that ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS are the ones coming over and raping people, stealing jobs. And muslims. I have a lot of great Muslim friends. They're awesome people. But say 1% of muslims are extremists. If we let 100,000 muslims in a year, we have 1,000 possible terrorists in our country. I think with all that's happening in the Middle East and with terror strikes occurring worldwide, trumps idea for a filter and the travel ban (which keep in mind was obamas list) of Muslim people and countries isn't such a "racist and discriminatory" idea.

So here in Germany Racism is an big topic.
When I see some posts on Facebook where Refugees get bullet by "native" Germans, I'm ashamed of this German people.

The most Racism People here in Germany are very dumb, they have the lowest school education. They didn't know how does it feel when your home is a war zone and you need a save home and work.

The Racism People think that the Refugees take all the work. So that the Racism haven't any work. This imagination is absurd for me.

This people are often to lazy to go to work and they are get "Social State Help". They get money to life. (Food, Apartment, Medicals, etc.) The most people who get this help, are getting more Money as some People which work.

It's going backwards for our generation. I feel like the media and social media really help make it feel like it's going back, but in reality, it will never be as bad.

This video is sick. I hate it, but there really are people like that in this world. That doesn't mean everyone does.

What makes me feel like it's going back in the Philando Castile case. A man shot and killed for LEGALLY CARRYING a gun, and the NRA hasn't said a word(cause he's black).
Seeing a huge organization just remain quiet, something they would NEVER, NEVER do for a white man. This is EVERYTHING that organization prides itself on.
Here, Trevor Noah did a great job talking about it:

Germany sounds a like England. lazy & racist, bigots stating all our jobs are being stolen from immigrants. Stats prove that non-uk immigrants tend to create more jobs in their ethnic communities therefor not 'stealing' any jobs.

The video won't load for me, but is that the guy that live streamed to Facebook as he was shot, just after he stated he carried a legal firearm?

Just because you've even put a Tommy Robinson video on there, I'm advising you don't comment on this thread further.

1) because he's a prick who led thousands of racists and still to this day creates racist propaganda (just because he's toned his voice down a bit and not shouting, doesn't mean he's not a racist) . 2) I'll get raged up with you and I don't wanna get banned.

Watch the dash camera video. They released it,

WARNING: May disturb some.


The officer tells him to not reach for the weapon and you can see through the back windshield him leaning up and reaching in a different video with the clarity enhanced. The officer fired 7 shots. You can hear in the officers voice clear signs of distraught.

As tragic as this was, it was a good shoot.

Anyone who legally conceal carries knows when you are stopped NEVER to reach for your weapon and always have your hands on the wheel.

I work in Texas where almost half the state conceal carries a firearm. I have stopped people in the past who were armed and never had a problem, that's because one one is dumb enough to reach for a weapon while an officer stands over them.

There is an old saying, play stupid games win stupid prizes.

Now while there have been shootings where the officer was in the total wrong and it was murder. This is not the case here..

Yeah seeing it from that POV tells a different story. Still is the shoot to kill really necessary? Could've shot to disarm.
