"Happy Slapping"

Anyone else heard of this mad phenonomon? It's really nasty, but slightly funny, although some people take it too far. For those who don't know, it originated in London and what you do it slap a random person while your friend catches it on their video mobile phone.

That is the funny bit. But then people taken it too far. People are getting assuaulted and bullied and one man was set on fire and nearly died. Totally discusting. What are your views?

and before you start blabbering incoherently about how what you said wasn't racist, here's a definition for you:

"The belief that race accounts for differences in human character"

now, by saying Nash's 'behaviour' is what prevents you from 'wanting to be white', you are subscribing to the belief that race accounts for differences in character. Therefore, your comment was racist.

And plus, you deserve insults, not Nash :'{

Yes.

"you're the reason I don't want to be white" is pretty racist.

1) it assumes that an entire race is identical in every way
2) it is phrased in a derogatory manner

Racist?

still trolling I see?

the only person in this thread who has been racist is you.

got happy slapped once, but before i knew it was a craze.
it was quite interesting, 2 little gimps on bikes ride past me as i'm walking to a mates and one reached out and slapped me. obviously annoyed, i turned round and he jumped off his bike to run for it (..er....)

which meant i got a nice new bike, hurrah!

then he cried cos he'd lost his bike, it was satisfying.

Oh well all I know is I'm proud of what I am and I don't want to be any other race if the people are all like you.

and saying things like "that's why I'm glad I'm not white", "you're the reason I wouldn't want to be white" aren't racist?

Moron.
