O/T Racism- yes kow

[ramAnag]

1. I didn't work for the prison service. I was a civillian accosted to run a contract.
2. Even if I had been, are you saying that as an "officer" I have to be as professional and respectful as possible, whilst receiving abuse and having to accept it? We are not talking, calling someone a **** here. We are talking racism.
Had it been used in reverse, what do you suppose the outcome would be? Double standards perhaps?
You're an ex teacher. Would you have accepted a Black pupil calling you "cracker/honkey/ snowy/ vanilla" etc?
Would it be right for you have relied, "yes Sooty"?
So not it doesn't go with the territory does it. We/I could go on all night with reverse racism examples from the prison service- to political parties.
3. My arrant nonsense as you call it, was perfectly summed up by Naz Shah.

Racism is racism. There are equality laws in this country that a few on both sides of the fence, refuse to accept applies to them.
I guess from that response, you don't agree with that and believe that being a non person of colour, I should just stop complaining about it and accept my subjection then.

1. Okay...sorry I thought you’d told us all that you worked for the prison service.
2. Those in authority regularly have to show ‘respect’ for others who barely deserve it. I’ve been accused of being racist by another professional...I dealt with it...the person concerned regretted it. Kids call teachers names sometimes...I’d hope we’re all a bit above responding in the same way.
There’s no such thing as ‘reverse racism’. Racism, as you say, is racism but it is always more destructive and pernicious when it has the ‘backing’ of those with power and authority.
3. I know citing Naz Shah is one of your favourite activities, but I’ve already said elsewhere that I didn’t agree with her.
4. I don’t believe that anyone should accept being a victim of racism but I do understand that those of us who work with stressed, messed up and ‘challenging’ individuals need to recognise that we’ll sometimes have bad things said to us. Get over it...it’s very debatable how much of what you’ve told us was said to you was ‘racist’ anyway. ‘Peckerhead’ for instance certainly isn’t and ‘Daktari’ is just Swahili for ‘Doctor’...sure you’ve been called worse...even on here.
