About Me
- anticant
- London, United Kingdom
- anticant is the blogname of a lifelong free speech and civil rights campaigner. A lot of his life since WW2 has been taken up with battling against cruel and over-bossy laws, censorship, censoriousness, and Nanny Knows Best types. Now elderly and in poor health, anticant hopes his memories and thoughts will be of interest to those engaged in today's struggles for freedom, democracy, and a more hopeful tomorrow. e-mail: anticant@hotmail.co.uk

Weapons, weapons and more weapons to solve our problems!
On the other hand to solve the problems of those tyrants who are placed where they are to try to make any upheavals impossible and a warning to foes.
A long run since the silex hatchets, don't you think so?
Insane, absolutely insane - and hardly anyone raises an eyebow...
Words fail me...thanks AC
Racism is a strange word. If we consider human beings as gregarious individuals, what would happen if, Robinson Crusoe-like, four persons of different races had to live together for an extended period of time. Would the stronger master the weaker, or the cleverer the meekier?
Will that be racism or simply the Law-of-the-stronger?
If we get a full gang of Ku-Klux-Klan in an African village, should we call the locals racist or should we simply consider that in the light of the local customs and practices?
We human beings tend to give names that are meant to differentiate others from us by belittling them, when in actual reality we are all equal.
It is one of those silly Saturdays for me, so I do apologise.
Equal in humanity, Jose, but not in every other respect. To maintain that some people are not merely different, but are not superior or inferior to others in many ways, makes nonsense of all value-judgements.
The reason I raised this is that 'racist' has become the fashionable boo-word of the Politically Correct chattering classes in Britain. It is slapped onto anyone who criticises the mindless multiculturalism that has done so much damage in recent years, and which is now fast losing all credibility.
Yes, we should celebrate difference and diversity - but we should also recognise the value of our own cultural inheritance.
When you fight against the BNP during a local election, the word "racist" is not a "fashionable boo word of the politically-correct chattering classs".
May be not, Richard, but your observation does not invalidate my comment.
There is no wish - or desire - to "invalidate" your comment, AC...
Just a personal "observation" regarding it.
