You really need to quit while you're behind.

And you really need to butt out and get a passport...so you can have opinions with some conviction rather than speaking out of ignorance on world affairs.

Man, you are rude! I've never even seen you on here before & you're giving me shit in The Time thread too.

^ I'm not good with idiots or people who spout ignorance or are unduly sycophantic or unduly negative which is what some of you are like.

Other than that I'm good!

I very much doubt someone in that position would have said that to her...i mean they are used to dealing with ALL races under the sun!

In my experience, they aren't like those big fat PIGS in US Immigration who get a kick out of humiliating people..and most of the passport officers here are actually non white anyway.....perhaps the officer was non-white...did u think of that? Or did u jump to racist conclusions about white people?!

In this situation, your experience as a non-minority means squat since YOU would never experience this. So yeah, keep it moving

what's going on in here?! this thread has taken an ugly turn.

No, you're not good, you're obnoxious and the ignorant one in this thread. Go back to whatever rock you crawled out from.

Just because someone goes to lives and work in another country it doesn't mean they have to put up with being racially abuse or pretend racism doesn't exist.

Another thing I find ironic, America has a higher muslim population than the UK and I am sure after 9/11 tensions must have ran high, however you never see American Muslims marching and protesting in America and burning the American flag or any flag for that matter. Yet on 09/11 in LONDON during the 10th anniversary memorials there were British Muslims marching and burning the American flag. It just goes to show how segregated the UK really is.

Singer Kelis's Twitter fury after she's subjected to racist abuse at a London airport

American singer Kelis has launched into an angry Twitter tirade against Britain after she was allegedly subjected to racial abuse in a London airport.

The 32-year-old was waiting at passport control at one of the capital's airports when she was apparently labelled a 'slave' by a middle-aged white man.

She had been travelling home to America with her two-year-old son Knight after performing at Bestival on the Isle Of Wight over the weekend.

The incident took place when Kelis was accused of queue-jumping by a 'red-faced sweaty man (I use the word man loosely here)'.

She went on to say he then called her 'slave' and declared she was 'probably a disgusting Nigerian'.

The R&B singer explained: 'He called me kunta kinte and ranted and raved some more.

'The man behind the passport desk laughed, shook his head in agreement I guess, and said "kunta kinte".

Tricky issue: Kelis took to her Twitter page on Monday after she was allegedly subjected to racist abuse at a London airport

'All the while the entire line full of people I just sat on a plane with for almost 3hours, over 50 people said nothing. I mean literally nothing. Didn't flinch.

'We all no (sic) I'm no saint, so I retaliated. Not the way I wanted to or how that pig deserved. But #1 my gorgeous baby boy was literally sitting on my hip and #2 I'm a believer. And we are better. Supposed to be.

Kelis then brought up the London riots in August - which were committed by British people from a range of races, classes and ages.

Obviously upset, the Milkshake singer declared the incident had made her believe the UK was 'decades behind progression'.

Hitting out: The R&B singer accused the UK of being 'decades behind in progression'

She continued: 'I didn't say anything at the time of the riots in London for a lot of reasons. But I am in London all the time and today I'm gonna say that the racial issues in the UK are disgusting.

'Its racially decades behind progression because everything is swept under the rug. People don't talk about it. People don't fight about it. Not mentioning a problem doesn't make it go away.'

After many fans pointed out America's on-going racial tensions - which were most recently highlighted during the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, Kelis acknowledged her home country also had issues.

She added: 'I bring it up now because as an American it is abundantly clear that my country has a Smorgasbord of disgusting racial problems.

Rude awakening: Kelis was queuing at passport control when the alleged incident took place

'We are the poster child for racial inequality even still with a black president. But its NO SECRET! And that I can fight against. I can try to prepare and teach my son. Because its out there. But you can't fight for or against something no one is willing to talk about or even admit exist.'

Anti-racism groups were keen to point out that while racism still exists in some pockets of society, the man's alleged behaviour was not representational of British people.

A spokesman for the Runnymede Trust, the U.K.’s leading independent race equality group, told WENN.com: 'It’s worth noting that we’re not a multi-racial paradise in the U.K. but there is a fight back here, and there are lots of ways in which musicians like Kelis can contribute to that. Things like the UpRise music festival in London – 10,000 people making it clear they are against racism.

'But I don’t think we have got a huge amount to learn from America in terms of the racism that operates over there. We are struggling against racism in the same way as people are in the States.'

What could possibly have been worse than a racial slur or an act of racism?

I hope you are not insinuating Kelis might of provoked this herself and IF she did she deserves what happened ...

So I guess if I cut in line... I deserve to be called Kunte Kinte

WTF

The reason is that American muslims have to swear allegiance and assimilate. We give them more freedom here to do as they please but as you have observed this has caused problems at times, and it is a case of biting the hand that feeds them. So in effect it proves they are 'freer' but also shows they don't appreciate what they've been given (this is the 1% who do that shit, not the rest who are generally calm and peace loving).

Those are YOUR words. And if you stand by your statement, you'll just contradict yourself with the "Racial Utopia" argument you're still trying to raise.

Either way -

So what about the THREE other Orgers who DO live there and gave THEIR perspective on the situation??? Oh, their opinions don't count huh?

Blaqueknight took it straight into the gutter in the first post of all with his "cunta" woman-hating misogyny. To far less criticism than Freakerfantastic's confused race politics, might I add.
