"Conversation I had with my Father..."

Bit of back-story: we've had the house next to us empty for some time, and various people have been to look, including a middle-aged lesbian couple (not that there's anything wrong with that). But yesterday some people came to view it, and my Dad was livid, for they were...BLACK!!!1174

Him: "You'll probably be worried to hear that some black ones had a look in next door yesterday."
Me: "'Black' whats?" (already knowing where this is heading...)
Him: "Two black people"
Me: "You mean two people?"
Him: "Well you may not realise this but they have a penchant for staying up all night, being loud and playing loud music all day and night"
Me: "So you'll be voting for the BNP in the next election then?"
Him: "I don't even know what you're talking about"
Me: "British National Party"
Him: "Don't talk down to me"

That's more or less word-for-word what he said, only I was probably more macho than the scene suggests. I scuttled off to the study shortly after.

I'm quite shocked actually, at how blatant he was with it. I've seen him make "Ook ook ook" sounds when we've driven past a black person before, but I thought that was his attempt at being funny, not trying to drill massive racism into me.

I'm pretty thankful my parents aren't racist. We lived in Istanbul for a year when I was younger, and they're both very well-travelled. So it's all gravy in the Stryke household.

I'm more well travelled than my dad already, which is disturbing and a shame because he really likes to travel but mum doesn't.

The point of that is, this area is 80% white farmers + white 5 children council houses, and yes I have worked that out. There's no racism here because there's only one race.

Often you hear my dad complaining about the way the French behave, or the Arabs or Americans. It's worrying because he honestly believes it, and I'd love to say it's because of culture and media and the way everyone is portrayed as some giant machine or something, but I think that when it comes down to it he's just plain dumb.

And yes my parents read the Daily Mail. The tv magazine is alright though, even if they often mess up the film ratings. Generally, if it's 2 star, it's probably a great film but offensive to idiots.

What a lovely poem.

Some people are brought up like that
I think it is horrible. If I were you i
would be extra nice to them just to show
him he is wrong and people are people no matter
what their skin colour or nationality.
You need to be careful not to give in to him
You have to make up your own mind about life.

I call my friends with brown or black hair 'Darkies', but never in public as i wouldn't want someone to over hear it and assume i am being racist.

I'd freakin go mental on my dad if he did that.

That's right, mental.

yeah, shouldn't assume, sorry.1174

The black ones.
You know.
The black darkie ones that go "Ook ook ook" when they have lesbian sex?

He's obviously talking about the middle-aged lesbians, and just assumed they were black (how crazy!)

What black lesbian couple?

He should print out a pic of the black lesbian couple with the caption, "Do you want THESE TWO banging next door?" on leaflets, before airdropping them over Harlow.
