TfL's new rapist minicab advert

I see the rapist minicab driver is still white ... has Boris sacked any of Ken's racist Labour cronies since he took office at all? Are you a) actually incapable of thinking the above through; b) unaware that racists traditionally stereotype black men as rapists; or c) a racist who stereotypes black men as rapists? Because I can't see any other explanation for why you'd even find this controversial... The reason this is controversial is that almost everyone depicted in TfL's publicity is black or Asian, *except* when they are some sort of criminal (fare dodger, rapist, etc) in which case they are invariably white. But that's absolute rubbish. Look at all these: http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sit...uk+leaflet+pdf ....OK, the newsagent in the Oyster leaflet is either Asian or southern European, but every other leaflet that has recognisable people in it has large numbers of recognisable white people. And none of the ones on the first 3 or 4 pages of the search are about criminals/fare dodgers, either. -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |

matters. We're not a group that's on the receiving end of discrimination - nothing that actually does any harm, anyway. Black people are. Since when? When was the last time you heard of a black guy being beaten up by the NF? The black community seems quite content to implode all on its own with the number of shootings and stabbings going on. And before you mention any BS about them being descriminated against in the workforce which is why there are so few in top positions blah ****ing blah ask yourself in that case how come so many asians and jews have made it to top positions if theres a cabel of racists little englanders in charge.

"Black community"? Since when did sharing a physical characteristic make people a community? |

Yes, and such phrases have always bugged me. I guess it's lazy journalism to present vocal individuals (or worse, employees of institutions promoting superstition) as "leaders" of other people with similar physical characteristics. Who are your community leaders (other than elected representatives of everyone)? |

It's when you realise that the BNP are the white equivalent of non-white "community leaders" that you realise how fundamentally fraudulent the phrase is. |

I must be your community leader. |
