euronews right on – They only see my skin colour
http://www.euronews.com/ It is a problem many people face on a daily basis: being judged, badly treated, or even worse, just because of the colour of their skin. There are laws against racism and xenophobia, but changing attitudes is not so easy.
Campaigners say it is not enough to have laws, they must be enforced, and authorities must publicly renounce all abuses.
One place shocked into action was the Belgian port city of Antwerp, known for its diamond industry and home to large ethnic communities.
A teenage far-right sympathiser was jailed for murder with racist intent after a shooting rampage here in 2006. A pregnant woman from Mali and a two-year-old girl she was looking after were killed, and a Turkish woman was seriously wounded.
People took to the streets to condemn racism and the rise of the far-right. But despite the soul-searching, some say little progress has been made since.
Recently anti-discrimination complaints were made to the authorities in a controversy over police policy, including checks on the drivers of expensive vehicles. Mohamed Benhaddou, who is of Moroccan descent, is one of the complainants.
He told Euronews: “As citizens, especially as citizens of migrant descent, we should demand nothing less than our full rights, and try to really break into the debate and have a voice there, and really just point out the urgency of it. Because racism, to some who haven’t been discriminated against, it may be a bit abstract, but I can assure you that for a lot of people it really changes lives.”
Mohamed says without what he calls a Marshall Plan, he is not optimistic things will change anytime soon.
He says there is complacent acceptance of the fact that ethnic minorities are discriminated against when it comes to housing, education and employment.
Action groups say raising public awareness is crucial, but also victims should not let racism go unchallenged.
Omar Ba from the Platform of African Communities in Antwerp said: “Speak up about the problems, even if there is no immediate solution; it helps to assess what’s going on. And measuring what’s going on, that helps us work out the scale of the phenomenon, and that means wage a battle against it.
“And I think it’s the responsibility of the authorities, and politicians of all persuasions in Europe, to meet their responsibilities and help us carry out this work. Because it’s not only a job for the civil society; it’s a job we should do together.”
Other campaigners say the challenge is how to harness the public outrage over extreme cases of racism and use that to foster change in the general, day-to-day attitudes towards ethnic communities.
Euronews’ Seamus Kearney reported: “Many here in Antwerp have made their feelings known. Tens of thousands of signs like this one have gone up across the city; they say ‘street without racism’ and ‘street without hate’.”
Many local schools have also declared themselves racism free zones.
The pressure is on governments everywhere to adhere to European rules on racism and xenophobia. EU officials are currently assessing compliance in all member states.
And, in these tough economic times, one particular concern is how to tackle the rise of hate speech, with fears it is fueling racism and extremist behaviour.
Mohamed Benhaddou said: “When I look back at the 90s you had a racist discourse which was quite easy to notice, because it had racialised arguments. It was about the blacks, about the Arabs. But nowadays it has become much more culturalised, so people are saying ‘I don’t have anything against Arabs or blacks, but it’s just their culture’.
“And (they think) that, in some ways, is more acceptable. It’s like you’re just doing some critique of culture, which actually it isn’t, because in essence it leads to the same thing, the same outcome, which is the exclusion of people.”
Omar Ba said: “Brutal and basic racism, as well as aggression, does not really come up a lot. Of course there are isolated cases, but it’s not the real trend. There’s a problem with what I call institutional racism.
“When there is a problem in society, I think the state must act. It must act in the television studios, when there is a discourse that calls for stigmatisation, or a certain kind of segregation whatever the form, or a certain perception of others.”
A survey of Europeans last year found that discrimination is still considered to be widespread, with the majority saying it is mostly on the grounds of ethnic origin.

The reality is that there is an unwritten agreement to sterilize all E1b1b + males in Europe, its secret & done in many ways (Design viruses are the lead). The biggest fear in Europe is the % of E1b1b in Europe today. In Some parts of Southern France Meditids are near 50%, In Paris ~20%
The Key thing is for E1b1b Meditids to unify & be alert when surrounded by Racists, the key thing is to become self aware & know your Y-DNA, so you can be careful & know your racial enemy

April 30, 2024 at 7:05 pm
whites are so used to getting privilege in american and the UK it doesn't take much for them to believe that they are the victims of racism, simply taking away any of their white privilege is associated with racism.
Blacks on the other hand have been discriminated against for so long that they have a high tolerance for racism directed against them and blacks often overlook racism that is directed towards them because they are so used to be being discriminated against.
@Adventures_with_Sog
April 30, 2024 at 7:05 pm
Really dreicemoney? lmao. Where did you get those figures from, the Liberals manuel of bullshi*, under the blatent lies section? A recent survey in America for instance has shown that the number of black Americans who feel they've been victims of racism has fallen whilst the number of whites who feel they've been victims of racism has actually increased considerably.Ths cases of race crime against white Britons has also drastically increased in recent years.
@dreicemoney
April 30, 2024 at 7:05 pm
I'd rather fight the racism than leave. Besides I have deep roots in USA, deeper than most "white americans" who are given special treatment because they are supposedly "white", and I'm supposedly not "white". But white supremacy is going to go down one way or another, especially as whites become a minority.

No man, that particular feature is to allow a user to show PRIDE in the country he/she lives in.

Do you see ANY private (family) stuff on my channel?
NONE.
I'm damn PROUD of who I am, where I live and what socio-political views I share and make no secret of that.

It's easy to say all of this, but resentment runs very deep, and is the one thing stopping racism from becoming extinct.
I grew up in an area of California with a majority of Mexican population, and became friends with a group of Mexican kids, who invited me to their house. Upon visiting, one of the parents came to me and said I have to leave now, or I will be killed.
How can we put racism behind us if both sides of the racism issue aren't willing to work together? *shakes head sadly*
