I have no views on the BNP, however about 25 year ago I was very raciest, but that was due to my upbringing.
I was brought up in South Africa, I was educated there and so from a young age knew no better, we lived in an area that ws surrounded by townships that were lived in by the true natives of south Africa.
This was the mid-late 70's then apartheid was getting on for its worse,
We came back in the early 80's by this time there was an undercurrent of racial tension in places like St Pauls, Brixton and the likes
When I started school I nearly started a huge fight, on the first day in the dinner queue there was a coloured kid who was in front of me.....Not for long, the words 'oi n****r get n the queue for the kaffers' went down like a lead fart and all hell broke loose.....
I had to learn equality pretty quickly, and that education started in the headmasters office about 10 mins after I started a fight that I didn't get involved with.
Within a very short space of time I learnt equality and tolerance, something that was unheard of in S.A. nowadays I have a lot of respect for people how have moved into a different country, away from what they know, and have worked/are working to make a better life for themselves, and even enriched our lives as well.
