Hateful Ideology
In my last post entry I wrote about the anti-racist carnival Rock Against Racism.Today it is known as Love Music Hate Racism.This organization tries to stop racism by creating music events with different genre bands. Many bands are excited to participate in a will that it might also stop the BNP organization.BNP stands for British National Party.It is a patriotic organization that reminds of the Nazis act. Their over nationalism has become more of a racist issue and it convinces people to hate. Even though it is happening overseas it is important to be concerned and don’t let the history repeat.
On BNP's website there are pictures of 8 white people with the title above"Racism cuts both ways" "Racism cuts both ways". These 8 people are assumed to be victims of racism.One of the pictures was of Kally Gilligan. She was a 15 year old student shot by her 18 year old boyfriend Joshua Thompson.After shooting her girlfriend Thompson shot himself.Two weeks before this incident Kally broke up with him.Joshua Thompson couldn't take the brake up and said that if he couldn't have her no one else would.Now BNP didn't forget to mention the fact that her boyfriend was black and made is as if it was the main point of the story as a racist incident.But how is this racism??To me he was just one madly in love Romeo,nothing to do color of his skin.
Another victim was Kate Beagley.She was stabbed and killed by black male after meeting him on the date.The guy wanted to steal her car but they got into argument and he stabbed her.Story like this one was just a coincidence that it was a black man and a white woman.There was no need to point that out assuming that this was one of the crimes against white people.
One more example would be murder of Denis Finnegen.He was attacked by schizophrenic John Berrett .He heard voices in his head telling him to kill and on his way he met Denis Finnegen and stabbed him into his heart.Once again the fact that he was mixed race was as highlight of the story even though this was not a racist killing.Ridiculously picked nothing to do with racist killing,just haters putting small details as the main reason of the murder,which is wrong.
Richard Barnbrook is a BNP leader on Barking and Degenham Council.He didn't become a mayor but he took one of the 25 assembly seats. In his celebration speech he says "…as long as you play part within identity of this great city , this capital, people should remain as individuals and belong to the environment they come from or they come into.This is Britain. It is for the British people…it is not for people to enter this land dictating what will or will not happen to the people that created and built it over generations."
He is the one who seems to be dictating ,brainwashing Londoners minds by blaming immigrants for all "the inconvenience" suppose they have cost.The way Barnbrook delivers this speech with anger and loud tone reminds of speeches of Adolf Hitler .Barnbrook says as if the immigrants have done something evil and he wants to "save" Britain from them.
Immigration-benefits us nonsense is one of the article found on BNP website.It says that immigrants are to blame for the low economy in the country.Also for the unemployment and mainly east European workers have led for Britain to have poorer quality services.
But it is not the article that is shocking but the BNP supporters comments.
"Immigrants get put to the top of housing and schools. Many can’t even speak our language - they choose to not follow our culture. The PM of Poland even had the cheek to say that state schools in England should teach Polish - how about not?!"EnglandxChick
"Immigration benefits us? I’ve just visited my town centre. I don’t do this too often. When New Labour got into power, my town was almost totally white apart from the local Chinese population who bother nobody. It had a nice friendly atmosphere. We, the locals, liked it."Tony Rogers
Now this is too nationalistic and hard not to find it racist.It is exactly how the skinhead movement started.It began in the late sixties in Great Britain.Skinheads where the white youth reacting to the immigration of mostly Indians,Pakistanis and South Asians causing violent conflicts.
It as well began with "love for you country".The people that created this ideology usually are not the ones that take action.However the youth that wants to be part something big are causing the riots.By being angry inside they choose to be racist and pick on the innocent immigrants who just wish to have a better life that the country they were born in couldn't offer.And anti-fascist people that fight against skinheads could be called the new-fascist.It is no longer about the peace,no longer about the ideology.It is a battle that has to be won even though is very bloody and deadly battle that is still going.
“How fortunate for leaders that men do not think.” Adolf Hitler.
It has gone too far already.The BNP must stop. People have to start thinking.They have to realize how for the government it is easy to fool them and they have to not let the history repeat.

Hate Has No Color Limits
I cannot help but note the parallels between this account and the rhetoric coming from the South Africans who are killing foreigners right now. Just this morning I heard on NPR and BBC that some of the young blacks were targeting "foreigners" for "taking our women" "taking our jobs", "taking our resources". It is distressing how ubiquitous this is in the human nature--that competition for scarce resources brings out the worst in humans.
I must note that I disagree with your depiction of the "madly in love Romeo". Abuse and violence are not in any way shape or form "love" and must never be tolerated. One who loves you does not beat you, shoot you ,stab you. Love has nothing to do with it.
Yes,that is why i wrote
Yes,that is why i wrote madly meaning as insane.Right or wrong this was his wierd way of love and I just wanted to highlight that it had nothing to do with racist killing.
