Racist Ulster Loyalists fly KKK flag in east Belfast


Recommended Posts

Looks like preparations for the annual 12th of July hatefest are in full swing........

A Ku Klux Klan flag was erected in east Belfast this week, where a spate of racist attacks have taken place.

The blue 'New Order Knights' flag was pictured flying from a lamppost off Island Street in Ballymacarrett on Tuesday morning, displaying the words "Ku Klux Klan"- an emblem which clearly denotes racism and white supremacy.

It has since been taken down.

East Belfast Alliance MP Naomi Long hit out at those behind it, saying it added an "even more sinister edge" to recent race-related incidents.

Mrs Long said she had received a number of complaints from constituents regarding the flags, which she passed to the PSNI for action.

“Yet again we see those who wish to bully anyone different from them use flags and emblems to assert dominance and control over a community. To do so at all is to be condemned but to put up these flags in broad daylight shows just how brazen the culprits are," she said.

“To use flags hailing a hate group such as the KKK is sickening and lends a further menacing element to recent events."

Last year 982 racist incidents were reported to the PSNI – an average of up to three every day.

That marks a big rise on the year before – there were 750 reports about racist incidents in 2012-13.

Police have said the loyalist paramilitary group the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) has been orchestrating racist attacks in south and east Belfast.

As with all your posts about Northern Ireland, this appears to me to be a little one-sided.

The title of this thread could lead people to believe that ALL Ulster Loyalists are racists, (and, in my opinion, based on previous posts of yours, is probably meant to), when only a small number are thick retarded racist morons. As stated in the article, the flag was quickly taken down, not that it should ever have seen the light of day in the first place.

Needless to say, those responsible are reprehensible dullards.

Looking forward to Nornirlun showing once again this summer why it is a beacon of understanding and tolerance and in no way is a massive drain on public and policing resources that should be towed out into the Atlantic and scuppered.

Good to know you're not getting upset by it, likes. No siree.

Unfortunately, the Belfast Telegraph recently reported that there are two racist attacks per day in Belfast, and some have dubbed the city "The Race Hate capital of the UK".

The vast majority of instances do seem to involve Loyalist knuckle draggers with a suplus of bricks, faeces or pipe bombs.

Clearly this problem needs cleaning up, as a matter of urgency. It's awful stuff.

Correct - it's boring and it's repetitive, but it's not particularly upsetting.

Definitely doesn't sound like you're bothered by it. Good on you.

Agreed.

Belfast, like Eastern Europe, is way behind the times when it comes to racism. It was only with the peace deals that we started seeing faces that weren't white, and I must admit to being surprised at the change in the demography of the city when I returned from the Middle East. The knuckle dragger racist w****r s in Belfast in the 2000's are the NF of the UK back the 1980's, and the issue needs addressed urgently.
