WullieBroonIsGod Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Saw he was trending on twitter, seems they Tory loving millionaire wants to encourage the minority communities to register to vote. The pic of him "whiting up" will give me nightmares. I think everyone should be encouraged to vote, and more more so become informed to make the vote that they feel represents them... I just don't see what a multi-millionaire wannabe Tory politician has in common with your average guy on the street, regardless of colour http://www.itv.com/news/2015-04-15/british-stars-help-launch-operation-black-vote/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm a believer in the democratic process. Anything that encourages people to register and vote; anything that encourages people to become politically engaged is a good thing IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with regards to encouraging people to vote but what the fcuk has it to do with race? With Turnouts at 30-50% for General Elections we need more of the ELECTORATE to vote NOT just ethnic minorities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to hazard a guess it's that minorities are disproportionately less likely to vote. Not exactly rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FuzzyAffro Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 What a load of racist shite. Absolutely, racist as f**k. Turn it round and see how it reads if it was about white people allowing black people to decide the election. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say with 50-70% of the Electorate not voting the ethnic proportion of those not voting is largely semantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Tempted to start a campaign on Rangersmedia for decent Unionists to boycott this rigged election and show up the Nationalist scum for what they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worse, it implies that we should be voting along the lines of skin colour. It's patronising in particular to black people. Not surprised to see bigots like Danger supporting this.

welshbairn Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'm not really getting the racist angle here. Me neither. Encouraging your community to vote, whatever next? P.S. In 2010, ethnic minorities were three times less likely to be registered to vote than white Britons. http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timwigmore/100263554/why-dont-more-ethnic-minorities-vote/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyAffro Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Me neither. Encouraging your community to vote, whatever next? What's his community? Black people? So is my 'community' white people? Should his community not just be British people, or Londoners, or people in his constituency? Black people in the UK or coloured to use their term are from many different 'communities' anyway, and as pointed out above he is also insinuating they vote on racial lines rather than for what party or policy they like. He is also trying to scare coloured people by saying if you don't vote white people will decide the election, why is that a problem? Unless he's racist....

I always thought you were acting a bit weird for a SNP enthusiast. Seems you took "Nationalist" to mean something it doesn't thankfully in Scotland. Ethnic minorities vote in much fewer numbers than the electorate as a whole. In a representative democracy it's important that they do vote, otherwise they won't be properly represented. It ain't rocket science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyAffro Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 I don't know what you're talking about or where you get this hysterical nonsense about what I think nationalist means from. I think you're full of it and your post is drivel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
