DEFINITION OF RACIAL HARASSMENT
A racial crime is something committed against a victim solely because of their race. This can include physical abuse/assault, verbal or written abuse, damage to property, and displaying or circulating racist material.
Everyone has the right to live peacefully and free from discrimination at home, in public and at work. Therefore if you are a victim of a racial crime, it’s important that you report it to stop it happening to others as well as yourself. The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 created new ‘racially aggravated offences’ such as harassment, assault, grievous bodily harm, and criminal damages, which carry significantly higher penalties for offenders.
A racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person. Racism can take place in many forms, such as:
* Verbal abuse - name calling or using racist language
* Physical abuse
* Bullying
* Racist graffiti
* Not being given equal opportunities at work
* Being under-employed at work
* Offensive literature
There are many other forms of racism, some of which are more subtle. Remember - a racist incident is any incident which is perceived to be racist by the victim or any other person.
a duty on most public authorities to eliminate race discrimination, promote equality of opportunity and good relations between all racial groups.
This kind of thing amazes me. Not that people still think this way, I heard this today A black lady complained that she was racially discriminated against by a shop assistant
Racism, of course, is despicable. "If you judge people you have no time to love them."
“No human race is superior; no religious faith is inferior. All collective judgments are wrong. Only racists make them.
This is no simple reform. It really is a revolution. Sex and race because they are easy and visible differences have been the primary ways of organizing human beings into superior and inferior groups and into the cheap labour in which this system still depends. We are talking about a society in which there will be no roles other than those chosen or those earned. We are really talking about humanism.
"While the legal, material, and even superficial requirements to eradicate racism are well known, its psychological and more deeply spiritual requirements have been persistently neglected-namely, the oneness of the human family. It is this principle of oneness that needs to be the driving force behind the struggle of uniting the races."
"If parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.
If you as parents cut corners, your children will too. If you lie, they will too. If you spend all your money on yourselves and tithe no portion of it for charities, colleges,Mosque, churches, synagogues, and civic causes, your children won’t either. And if parents snicker at racial and gender jokes, another generation will pass on the poison adults still have not had the courage to snuff out.
# There is only a limited amount of research specifically relating to the issue of racial abuse of children but two discrete bodies of research provide insights into this aspect of children’s lives; racial bullying within school settings and racial violence within the community. Although these areas do not comprehensively address the issue, they provide valuable messages for agencies working with minority ethnic children and families.
# Children from ethnic minorities are more likely to experience bullying than their white counterparts.
# The most common expression of racism is through racist name-calling, which is often viewed by adults as trivial, although its impact on children can be profound.
We can go on talking about racism and
who treated whom badly, but what
are you going to do about it? Are you
going to wallow in that or are you
going to create your own agenda?
