    Can't remember where but i think on one of the threads about race ALB talked about ginger hair discrimination

    Seems like one reaction by one ginger haired individual is to take up terrorism

    As seems to be the case in these right-wing racist terrorist cases there is a psychological explanation invariably being offered for the crime…he was depressed and agoraphobic … and i always wonder why when i read of individual terrorist acts by muslims i never ever read of those explanations being presented in articles …simply the fact of his religion being highlighted and then linked to the worldwide Al Qaida plot (now in its ISIS variety) . It is assumed that all muslim terrorists are rational, whereas, racist terrorists act from irrationality and thus we can deny it as being a social phenomen. Much like Fox TV  in denial that Christian fundamentalists bombings and shootings of abortion clinic staff is not  "real" terrorism.

    I suppose one question is why are people still discriminated against and what can we do about it?What the identity leaflet says barely touches on this

    Until recently the dominant opinion amongst those in charge of the British state about how to deal with this was to make a virtue of necessity and pursue a policy of “multiculturalism”. It didn’t work. In fact, it has encouraged division, by getting people to identify with their “culture” rather than with the British “nation”. (Socialists, too, see “multiculturalism” as divisive but for the different reason that it gets workers to identify with some other group over and above their class.) Now a change of policy is under way, a swing towards “assimilationism”.

     When people are discriminated against ostensibly on the basis of hair colour or skin colour, is this the real reason? Or is it a symptom of being working-class and not a suffrance the ruling-class endure?What about identities people voluntarily attach to such as religion? Is it discriminatory to exclude them from membership? Or is religious belief not an identity as such being something voluntarily assumed?

I want them to see my transition from poor red-haired victimised minority that is constantly walked over to a fully transformed military terrorist striking at the hearts of the bigoted tyrannical rulers and of course the dark haired dark eyes Caucasian race.”
