Racially intolerant white canadian cops and security and their henchmen claim to be despots; following parasitically in the footsteps of their american counterparts, and wilfully engage in their racial profiling of non-whites, in racial harassment of non-whites, and in racially dehumanizing attempts to racially harass non-whites through intimidating physically, mentally, and spiritually; portraying their racial hatred of non-whites through causing wilfull and dehumanizing disturbance to non-whites through using illegal wall-see-through technologies and audio-bugs on non-whites' homes; through listening and watching through the walls of non-whites' rented and owned homes, and through their internet and private telephones. The perpetuators of these evil deeds do this from their cars using illegal equipment slyly given to them by the unworthy cops, and then accelerating their cars loudly and intimidatingly near non-whites' homes and driving intimidatingly in presence of non-whites on streets, making threatening u-turns, driving intimidatingly right up and over sidewalks when a non-white is on the sidewalk, and throwing their ugly bullying weight around, in their shameless acts of cowardice. It is all done slyly, supposedly smartly, however, they cannot fool all the people all the time. The cops also participate themselves to wail their sirens abusively everytime non-whites move and talk inside their rented and owned homes in daily routine living, in addition to having their henchmen in cars commit these ugly harassing racially profiling deeds at all times day and night. Most of these ugly acts of dehumanizing racial profiling depict the cowardice of the doers of these deeds in the real sense, and are done at the behind the scenes insistence of the racially intolerant white cops through their frontline stooges. However, without physical evidence, the white cops, security, socieities, and their henchmen are laughing sinisterly at their heinous deeds and the legal system seems to support this evil through its inability to take action without physical evidence. Their racial profiling penetrates public transport systems, shops and stores to do all they can to make the non-whites feel unwelcome in their dehumanizing acts of racial profiling against non-whites and those who don't conform to their nonsense. The white cops, security, and white communities use their henchmen who do just as they are told and from behind the safety cushion of their oil-guzzling, pollution creating, often dark-glassed vehicles to intimidate and harass non-whites in obnoxious racial profiling that reflects the immoral, despotic, and cowardly behaviour of racially intolerant white cops, security, communities and their dumb henchmen who do just as they are told, fuelled as they are in their racial frenzy, thanks to the racially manipulative corporate controlled media.

Volunteers are welcome to circulate this information to all they know to put an end to this abuse and violations of human rights committed by immorally misbehaved white cops, security, white communities, public transports, shops, stores, etc, and their dumb henchmen who do just as they are told in their racial frenzy.

Save this information on your computers before any cowards remove it from the websites.

Racism is immoral and dehumanizing behaviour that reflects the "incapable to perform humanely" quality of those who are racist and are being watched from God's court above in ways they cannot be expected to be capable to perceive yet.

It's a shame when obnoxious stench of racism comes from people in so called rich countries. It's even more of a shame when words are twisted by media to influence young minds with lies. It's even more of a shame when so called authorities perpetuate racism and behave racistly and enforce racist policies and behaviour through intimidating means amidst outer sweet and polite talks. Racism seems to be prominent among so called white people in rich countries who cannot bear non-whites from other countries of origin. Planet Earth belongs to people of Earth. Highly educated people of high intellectual calibres, rich bosses and CEOs, etc, of rich countries are a blotch on humanity and their material levels when they haven't yet evolved to basic human concepts of all humans have red blood irrespective of race.

Racism stems from social attitudes that are perpetuated by racist societies, the media, the authoritarians, and the peers. It's time to say, shame on all those who perpetuate racism and racist attitudes.

Thank you.

First of all, what's wrong with a prize that's only open to Commonwealth writers? By that logic, everyone in the world should be eligible for every prize that's offered. Secondly, umm, haven't they heard of the new International Booker. I guess it doesn't count, since it went to an Albanian writer this year.

Should the Booker be open to Americans?
Would they really win every time?

Take it like a Man, Booker

Booking the Booker? Ya, was ist das? Eine schlechte Woche für den Man-Bookuh. I can't help but be drawn to any article that starts off calling someone's book a "prissy little mouse". It can only get interesting from there.

Forget about who won the Booker
How was the party?

After, everyone piled across London to Soho, where the after-show parties had been underway since 9pm. Seasoned literary liggers who weren't invited to the Booker dinner knew the order in which to go. Start with the Faber party (publishers of Sebastian Barry and Kazuo Ishiguro) at the Union Club because they have the best canapés, and move on to the Cape party (for Julian Barnes) at Soho House. When - horrors! - Barnes was denied the prize, they departed, like bats from Hades, and made for The Groucho, where the Picador party for Banville was yards from the Penguin thrash for Ali and Zadie Smith.

Winning prizes is good for sales

This should be news to no one but this might. Soon blind people will be able to read Banville's novel The Sea (get it?). Weirdly, the article doesn't even mention the author's name as if the book just manifested.

One Booker runs into the next and into the next. Bang bang bang go the bumper car awards. Bah bah bah go I, a bah unlike that of the sheep for which the Booker surely longs.

Banville wins Booker

I don't think I've ever cared less about this award than I have this year. Is that a sign of boredom or maturity? Or maybe a little wear around the edges. Though I'm glad an Irishman won. What this award needs is a tell-all memoir to spice things up. (Could you imagine a GG tell-all memoir? It would just be a transcript of meeting minutes in which people argued over the contents of the Tim Horton's dozen box. Fight for the cruller! Fight for it!) Or maybe a new gimmick altogether...

The Booker that shoulda
The Guardian has a fun contest in which contestants can win a library of the Booker greats by picking a past book that was "robbed" of the prize.

Big boys off the list

McEwan, Rushdie and Coetzee (gasp!) off the Booker list this year. Why? Someone had to go, that's why.

What most people don't know is that publishers are allowed to submit only one or two titles for Booker consideration. So you publish sure-thing Salman Rushdie and three or four exciting young no-names in the same year, who you think is going to be put up for the prize? Hence, predictability.
