Time to remember the victims of race hatred
Time to remember the victims of race hatred.
This shocking picture shows the result of a vicious racial assault on a 24 year old man, Steven Howell, and his 18 year-old girlfriend, Danielle Cash. Their mistake was to walk into the wrong area of Stoke-on-Trent looking for a taxi after a night out. They were attacked by a gang of ten youths just because they happened to be white.
Unfortunately this kind of incident is becoming increasingly common in many of Britain's towns and cities.
Today marks the tenth anniversary of the death of Stephen Lawrence and it come as little surprise that the race relations industry, the Labour Party and the media are making sure that we don't forget it. Indeed as this piece is written a special "Unite Against Racism" conference, organised by the TUC, is being held in London. No doubt the opportunity to simultaneously denounce the British National Party will not be wasted.
Yet, as we observe the race relations industry in full swing, more and more people are beginning to notice a peculiar abnormality in the treatment of black and white victims of crime. Whilst white victims of racial crime are, in the vast majority of cases, treated as an embarrassing inconvenience, black victims seem to be granted a somewhat different status. With white assailants and a black victim we witness the race relations industry indulge itself in a process akin to deification. Even when a white perpetrator cannot be found, as in the case of unfortunate Damilola Taylor or Victoria Climbie, white guilt is extracted by giving the victims a quasi-iconic standing.
Nobody deserves the fate that befell Steven Lawrence, and our sympathies go out to his parents. To murder somebody because of the colour of the skin is a wicked crime that under a BNP government would be a offence dealt with by capital punishment for black, white and Asian alike. Yet this constant demonisation of white people can only make matters worse in that it propagates, sustains and intensifies any antipathy ethnic minorities may feel towards their hosts.
Ethnic minorities turning to BNP's realism on race.
Indeed even among the ethnic communities themselves there is a growing realisation that affording white people an identity solely when we are collectively accused of racism is not a sustainable process.
Many black and Asian people see the apparent ease with which British politicians betray their own people and must wonder what on earth they would be prepared to do to them.
On the estates of Stoke on Trent and many other British communities liberal multiculturalism is in meltdown. Despite the best efforts of the TUC, the Labour Party and other assorted organisations determined to undermine local democracy, this May many British and ethnic minority people will be given a choice. Whether to vote for the cynical opportunism and self-serving, multiracial fantasism of New Labour, the Tories and the Lib-Dems or the race realism of the British National Party. How many more black,Asian and white victims must there be before our society has the courage to tell the truth?
