These white liberal 'bwanas' are the real racists
THERE'S rightly been outrage over the soft sentences handed out in Australia to a gang of Aborigine men who raped a ten-year-old girl on a reservation in Northern Territory.
None of the nine young men involved were sent to jail. The judge said the girl 'probably agreed to have sex' with them.
Serious child sex abuse is seen as being widespread in Aboriginal communities, therefore different rules apply.
This is perhaps the most extreme example of the appalling "it's their culture, innit" mentality which grips feeble-minded white "liberals" in the English-speaking world.
Here in Britain, the authorities are just as guilty of double standards.
Excuses are constantly being made for the most heinous behaviour of non-whites.
We may not have had the rape of a ten-year-old girl, but we've had plenty of examples of child abuse by Afro-Caribbeans, which have been ignored by social services until it's too late.
The most scandalous was that of little Victoria Climbie, from Haringey, north London, who was tortured to death over a long period while social workers stood back.
Although her grievous wounds were apparent to the naked eye, the "experts" declined to intervene because they considered 'physical chastisement' to be an integral part of Afro-Caribbean culture and were terrified of being accused of racism.
It wouldn't happen again, we were assured later.
It has - and it will.
Elsewhere, teenage British Muslim girls are kidnapped and transported to the Indian sub-continent to be forced into marriage to some gargoyle-like second cousin they've never met before.
Many Muslim girls are subjected to the evil practice of "female circumcision" - vile genital mutilation in the name of religion - yet the perpetrators get away with it.
Then there are the so- called "honour" killings of women thought to have brought "shame" on their family - often because they refused to take part in a forced marriage.
Time and again the "liberal" establishment refuses to condemn it.
Brixton, south London, was turned into an open-air drugs den because the police decided that cannabis-smoking was so rife among "the community" - predominantly West Indian in origin - that they might as well be left to get on with it.
"It's their culture, innit."
Modern day "bwanas" like Ken Livingstone talk patronisingly about blacks as if they're incapable of doing anything for themselves, without vast subsidies and constant nannying by Leftist do-gooders.
All this stems from the mindset among white "multiculturalists" - born out of misplaced post- colonial guilt - that people from black, Asian and other non-Anglo-Saxon backgrounds are genetically incapable of obeying the same laws as the rest of us.
I can't think of any more repulsive racist attitude. It is deeply offensive to the vast majority of decent, law-abiding people who live in those communities and an affront to our whole society.
It's about time white 'liberals' stopped treating ethnic minorities as if they're all ten years old.

If I Could Talk To The Taliban
Calling on all his experience of a five-minute photoopportunity with the troops in Helmand Province this week, a mere 60 miles from the frontline, the Prime Minister announced that he has a cunning plan for ending the war in Afghanistan.
As the headline put it: "BROWN: TALK TO THE TALIBAN."
Some of you may have realised already where I'm going with this.
I wonder whether Gordon is aware that there are 47 different languages spoken in Afghanistan.
So, with apologies to the great Leslie Bricusse - Laydeez and gennulmen, will you please welcome Gordon Brown as Dr Dolittle with his version of If I Could Talk To The Taliban.
Imagine Rex Harrison with chewed fingernails and a Scottish accent.
If I could talk to the Taliban, just
imagine it,
Chatting with the chaps
in Pakistan,
I could be rapping with
Al Qaeda,
And all the foreign fighters,
In the Tora Bora, east
Afghanistan.
If I could talk to the Taliban
in Arabic,
Or the dialect of
deepest Kazakhstan,
Try a phrase or two of Farsi,
A word of Gujarati,
I'm sure that I could make
them understand.
We could converse in Ashkun
or Tajiki,
Learn a little of the lingo
of Pashto,
If people ask me: "Can you
speak Turkmenistan?"
I'd say: "Of course I can,
can't you?"
If I could meet Mullah Omar
in Jalalabad,
Try a little Brown diplomacy
If I could reason with
the Taliban,
Reach out to the Taliban,
Plead and get down on my knees
to the Taliban,
And hope they don't
behead me!
If I could speak man-to-man to
Sheikh bin Laden,
In the distant mountains of the
Hindu Kush.
Or maybe somewhere nearer,
A live debate on al-Jazeera,
I'd promise that I wouldn't tell
George Bush.
If I spoke the native tongue of
Pashtun tribesmen,
I could guarantee that I would
end this war.
Give a massive grant
to Helmand,
Well, it always works in Scotland,
I'd even let them have
Sharia Law.
If I consulted with Algerians
and Chechens, In a safe house in east Uzbekistan.
"Where's Osama?" I could ask,
"Is he up the Khyber Pass?"
They'd say: "No, infidel, he's
in Londonistan."
If I could parlay with jihadis
in Pershawi,
And negotiate with
the Yemenis,
If I could talk to the Taliban,
Give asylum to the Taliban,
Mobile phones, council homes,
long-term loans
To the Taliban,
Then they would vote for me!

The Left-Wing Mayor of London, "Red" Ken Livingstone: During next year's campaign for Londoners to elect their new mayor, should Livingstone pose in his Che Guevara T-shirt, Hezbollah headscarf, IRA gunbelt and Stasi jackboots?
FORMER assistant commissioner Brian Paddick, Liberal candidate for London mayor, is pictured on his website in his Met Police uniform.
Opponents say that now he has left the force, he shouldn't still be allowed to exploit it.
Oh, I dunno.
The answer is for the Tory candidate Boris Johnson to post a photo of himself sporting his Bullingdon Club coat-tails and white tie outfit.
And for Red Ken to pose in his Che Guevara T-shirt, Hezbollah headscarf, IRA gunbelt and Stasi jackboots.

Keep on rocking in the free world...
FRANKLY, I never rated Led Zeppelin.
I managed to sleep through their entire set at the Bath pop festival, more years ago than I care to remember.
But if they want to keep on rocking in the free world, why not?
Wondering why they carry on is a bit like asking why bank managers go on being bank managers, or carpenters go on being carpenters.
It's what they do.
It's only white rock'n'rollers who get monstered for not acting their age.
In the past year I've seen in concert 60-something soul legend Al Green, 70-something country star Willie Nelson and 81-yearold blues master BB King.
Lively: Rocker Neil Young
No one is suggesting they take early retirement.
Mind you, I've also seen Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young live recently.
Well, I say "live".
Graham Nash and Neil Young were still on form, but David Crosby and Stephen Stills looked as if they ought to be sitting in a bath chair, watching daytime TV and dribbling quietly to themselves.
A couple of us were talking the other day about why the peerless Bruce Springsteen puts in such a punishing touring schedule after all these years.
The conclusion was that he enjoys it and he doesn't know how to do anything else.
Pretty much like the rest of us. Either that or his pension's with Northern Rock.
