Life / Poles are not racist [873]
I am stunned at this response. As CEO of a company I actually employ a Polish photographer, who is very very talented and a wonderful person.
I am very very shocked when entering a Polish, SHOP IN THE UK, how hostile and blatantly opposed to my presence the shop workers are! This is a local shop who would know my face as I enter everyday.
I don't except the excuse that never having seen a black face should lead to this kind of hostility towards people of colour. I travel all over the World and often I am the only black person in town. I never come across this kind of treatment.
So I am very very sad to come home and have to face this kind of ignorance.
Polish people throughout their history have suffered the most appalling treatment and brutality just for being Polish! So it is ignorant in the extreme to then behave in the way I witness every day.
Of course I am not saying that all Polish people are racist as all black people are not racist. And I assure the previous writer no black person has any envy for Blue Eyed Blond Haired Poles! This again is a sad sign of your own view that you are superior to people of colour.
In the end this kind of behaviour will only lead to failure for Polish people. The only people your are effecting by being racist are your own people! People of colour and many white people just stay away from your business and don't employ your people! So who loses? But I suppose that plays into the hands of racists who only want Poles in their stores!
My partner is white and from Finland. She is stunned and dismayed at the behaviour of certain sections of the Polish community. And you don't get more Blond haired and blue eyed than a Scandinavian.
I only feel sorry for racists, you are so consumed with your own hate of others you probably miss the beauty in all things. And in the end I just take my hard earned cash to someone else.
I hope those who are racist hurry up and integrate or just go home to Poland where you may feel happier with little or no black people in your country.
God bless you all and educate the ignorant.
