Red-haired family forced to move after ‘ginger’ hate campaign

People are such scum. I always though red hair was real neat. My wife has red hair and people are always complimenting her on it.

The idea of teasing people for having red hair is weird enough, but actually bullying them? What the smeg is wrong with people?!

A family are being forced out of their home by a gang of thugs because of their red hair.

Kevin and Barbara Chapman say they and their four young children have already moved twice to avoid the taunts but at each address have been subjected to attacks.

Their windows have been smashed, the walls daubed with graffiti and their children physically assaulted in the street by other youths.

“There seem to be around ten or 12 families who have relations in the different areas we have been,” said Mr Chapman. “Word seems to get around and it starts again.”

The children have changed schools three times in the last two years. “Every time we make new friends we end up getting bullied whenever we leave the house,” said Ryelle.

Okay, I do tease my wife about her hair in one area. When I see another red-haired person, I ask if she knows him/her. See, cause all red-haired people know each other! It’s actually more an anti-tease.

What’s scary is if you read the comments to that dailymail.co.uk article, some people aren’t even appalled.

Surely, if it’s as bad as the article makes out they could dye their hair?

They shouldn’t have to. People should just not be so worthless.

Unfortunately, most people do not like ginger hair. ‘In the olden days’ folk were too polite to say anything but nowadays children are not so nice, so it turns to bullying. Shame.

Most people don’t like ginger hair. Wow. Glad I don’t live there.

If this family are well behaved then this is disgraceful…

Goes on to express sympathy, but notice the weasel wording. I think it’s bad to paint “gingers are gay” on someone’s house even if they aren’t well behaved.

According to this story, an 18-year old straight-A student was ARRESTED because an essay he turned in was “violently disturbing.”

He was charged with disorderly conduct. That’s normally what they charge if you pull a fire alarm or something, because making people think there’s a fire and they are in danger harms people. And, I think, the fact that we all know that’s the result is important.

But here the teacher was upset the content of the essay, even though all admit the content was not directed at any particular person.

How is that disorderly conduct? So the teacher was upset. How can writing an assignment which upsets someone but doesn’t threaten them, either overtly or subtly, be disorderly conduct?

If he had written it before the Virginia Tech shooter was shown to have written violent stuff, would anyone have batted an eye? I guarantee no one would have been arrested.

As if we don’t have enough of a hard time getting kids to do their homework, let’s let them know if they right the wrong thing we’ll have them arrested.

Some kids already don’t like to write assignments that call for revealing their thoughts and feelings. They don’t want other people to read them, even the teacher, but certainly not the class (since many teachers read excerpts, without permission). How much more will they feel that way now?

When I was a kid, I was told that we lived in a free country. Are kids told that any more? We see our freedom, our essential liberties, being stripped away, not for security, but for the pretense of security.

Arresting students for violent essays will not stop the next shooter. All it will do is harass a lot of innocent people, make them feel their thoughts are criminal, keep them from revealing them to anyone, and put an end to essays with any depth. (Okay, so school essays have never had depth. But I’m ranting here.)

When I was in 9th grade, I wrote a poem for English class called “Decapitation,” about how fun it was to chop off heads. It didn’t mean anything; I’m not violent, I don’t plan on being violent, I was just trying to be weird.

The teacher was grading the papers while we watched a film or something, and called out, “Who wrote Decapitation?” I thought I was in trouble, but it just turned out I hadn’t written my name on it. He treated it like any other assignment.

And that was fine. Why are we now so scared? 40,000+ people die in car accidents every year, but we are never scared to get in an automobile.

I’m tired of people getting scared and taking away freedom, adding unnecessary “security features” to everything to make us think we are more secure.

O.J. Simpson tried to eat at a steakhouse in Kentucky, and was refused service by the owner.

Simpson’s attorney, Yale Galanter, said the incident was about race, and he intended to pursue the matter and possibly go after the restaurant’s liquor license.

What. In. The. World.

I wasn’t raised to look at people in racial terms. But by now I’ve read enough history to have an inkling of how awful people treated other people because of their skin colour, in this great nation of ours.

We’ve come a long way since then, especially where I live. I grew up in a very diverse neighborhood, and attended diverse schools. There was no majority. Every single “race” was a minority. I suppose there may have been racial tensions, but I didn’t really experience that. The people I associated with didn’t have those issues. Nobody cared what colour people were.

So things have improved, in a lot of ways. But society as a whole is not as enlightened as my neighborhood was. There’s a lot of racism still out there, and we’ve done the old pendulum swing and now there’s a lot of anti-white racism.

If you are white, you are automatically judged by many people to be in a position of power or privilege, and if you hold certain opinions, people thing they can tell your motives for those opinions on the basis of your skin colour.

What kind of sick society do we have when a white man doesn’t serve a murderer, and the assumption is it’s because he’s black?

If you’re white, you can’t be against murder. It’s got to be racially motivated, because all white people hate black people, apparently.

That’s ridiculous. And I know that many, hopefully most, will see right through this pathetic ploy of Simpson and his lawyer. But they wouldn’t have said it, if they didn’t know that some people would either believe it, or at least act like it wasn’t utterly pitiful and ludicrous.

If you’re straight, you can’t think homosexual sex is immoral without being homophobic.

If you’re male, you can’t be against abortion without wanting to oppress women.

If you’re white, you can’t be against murder if the murderer is black because that means you’re racist.

If you believe any of the above three statements, then you’re actually a bigot.

If you disagree, please comment and tell me why you think you’re not.
