13th time lucky for BNP?

[Sam Slater]

He's right in that any organisation that omits, or refuses membership or admittance based on colour/ethnicity is indeed racist (regardless of the reasoning for discrimination).

What Max doesn't get, though, is that it's parties like the BNP, and the ilk that support them, that means minorities feel the need for such clubs he complains about. In an ideal world we wouldn't need organisations such as the NBPA.

The renowned Gentleman's clubs in London are discriminatory. I dare say if you inquired about membership you would be rebuffed .. probably told that membership was full but the real reason would be that you're not from the right social and occupational strata and don't have the required connections and 'in' to the organisation.

These tend to be private members' clubs though and that's why they're exempt from legislation. A political party is different.

[Sam Slater]

No, it's not, hence the need for such organisations as the NBPA.

[Sam Slater]

No, but I see it becoming less prevalent and dangerous to minorities the more tolerant and educated we become.

Are you of the opinion we should tolerate racist political parties just because you think racism will never be completely eradicated?

[Sam Slater]

I answered your previous question and followed with one of my own. In your reply you refrain from answering mine and follow up with another question. That, in my opinion, is bad manners; something the British are renowned for, traditionally, is good manners.

Is this a conversation or just you questioning me while adding the odd opinion?

Pay particular attention Max to Best Album, Best Dance Act and Outstanding Achievement Awards.
