Gav...Not a Racist

On my daily walk home from work, I encounter the same sights every day.
People walking in the other direction are almost on nodding terms and even people in cars are familiar.

Happy Days.

But when i get to a certain point it all turns sinister. Across from the Star Bar on Pollockshaws Road there is a sort of social club for, well i suppose they are refugees or immigrants....Now i defenitly wouldnt class my self as a racist but I fucking hate them with a fucking vengance. apparently for no reason other than the sight of them!

These guys are black but not your usual kind, I mean they look African of some sort but they all look the same! there must be about 30 of them all in all and they COULD actually all be brothers! They are untidy, ignorant, seedy looking and just make the place look like fucking shit!

Your heading into Govanhill if you take Vicky Road so the sight of a swarthy Individual is not uncommon and I'm down with my Asian brothers but these guys look like the dudes on the beach in Greece with the bad teeth that try to force you to buy sunglasses and other such shite. I'm pretty sure they sell drugs too and would mug ye soon as look at ye!

Pure shite man! just that wee strech of about 100 yards...Fucking hate them!

Nothing to do with colour or creed, so why is it?

I know the very place ma boy.

It's actually quite scary there eh?
Ive often wondered myself about that place.I think it masquerades as some sort of taxi office but Im sure its a haven for all yer worst sorts. We tried to grab a wee squint in on the way past but it was too quick and too dark. Just seemed like a room full of hunners of prying eyes.
and teeth.

I think what your suffering from here is a classic case of fear, leading to anger, leading to hate, in turn, leading to suffering.
In the form of mild racism.
It's perfectly understandable.

I have a simple ethos in life, nicked from chewin' the fat.

The world is only two "races" Good Guys and Wanks. Keeps things nice and simple

I know people who share my "ethnicity" white,heterosexual, taig(albeit I am viciiously lapsed), Sellick supporting, one time, still sometime socialists who are wanks. I know proddy Telly heeds (my PC description of Rangers fans as so many of them have heads that have the exact dimension of a 14" portable telly) conservative voters who are deffo good guys

Barca Jim...

just sounds like abit of good old fashioned racism to me. Next step white sheets over your head and burning crosses, and playing the flute, No wait...the flute, racists play the flute right?

RIGHT AWAY! by saying Gav...Not a racist u have instantly alerted us to the FACT that you are gona say something very Racist: However, judging fae the fact we all seem to be from the Govanhill or (strathbungo) area, Racism no longer legally applies to us, cause we are so pissed off by it all!, what am trying to say is...Aye we seem to be overrun by people who are just in this country to rip the piss right oot it and starting up some sort of legit business(bunch of black guys gathering in an old shop unit prob doing something related to terrorism)Fuck it! Speak your mind and dont hide behind this "am no a ricist pish" We have the right cause we are from the G!

I remember people used to think you were posh if you came from Govanhill, Not now, People instantly say "I went to Govanhill once, Lot of black people there isn't there" Or "A lot of junkies there" Or "Is that not where that Guy/Woman was murdered"
