Racism is gone.. REALLY??!!

Just the idea that racism is a thing of the past makes me laugh, I mean has anyone taken a real hard look around them??

It starts of with..yes,you guessed it, movies and television programs. The movie and television industry is all about getting ratings, so they are obviously going to produce something that is going to be an instant hit, and what's a hit at the moment? All brown people are the enemy, so any film that has a terror theme in it will have some brown people in it, it's probably good for these young actors to get work but it does nothing but build up this negative stereotype.

But the reason as to why this theme is so popular is because the "news" media can't stop reporting violent crimes and making the links to brown people and Islam. Weak minded people will start to suffer from, what I like to call, the " echo effect", after hearing rumours and speculation for so long and continuously, they will start to believe it and that can only have a negative effect for the society.

It is completely irresponsible for the news media or any type of media to encourage and even help foster violence towards any group, but they do and you know why?? Because they are sure to make a shed-load of cash, is this really the type of society we want, a society that is ready to exploit your fears for profit- well if you all ignore this trade deal-TTIP, than that is exactly what we;ll get ( please read more about TTIP and do what you can to stop it.)

All of these fears about "the other" is made worse by people in power. People like politicians have a moral obligation to maintain good relations in the community,well that doesn't seem to be happening with the whole fairy tale that Nigel Farage and everyone else running for PM, they all have made immigration a talking point and a rather negative one! They have spun this myth that immigrants are scrounger and just come to the UK to use the NHS! Tell me, who picks a country solely on this? Many of the people working in the NHS were immigrants at one time and nearly all of them work at least 2 jobs and have never been on benefits. The mainstream media may find an obscure example and make sure everyone focuses on that for weeks!

Many UK citizens are the one living on benefits and council houses but hey, it's alright for us but not the foreigner. where is your compassion?!!

This way of thinking didn't occur overnight it is learned, but it can also be unlearned.

I still have a flicker of hope that people still have common sense and can see through all the propaganda- but it's fading fast!
