Thing is, each individual will see it all differently. Therefore to assume that ALL individuals think a certain way, is not only massively flawed, but supremely arrogant.

It's nothing short of immoral power-broking.

"I represent these people."
"This black person represents the 'black community'."

FUCK OFF CUNTS.

Stan, I think your list of definitions proves that there is no definition. There is an endless list of literature trying to understand and define community.

1. a social group of any size whose members reside in a specific locality, share government, and often have a common cultural and historical heritage.
2. a locality inhabited by such a group.
3. a social, religious, occupational, or other group sharing common characteristics or interests and perceived or perceiving itself as distinct in some respect from the larger society within

Community is a complex subject that has no real definition.

In fact the thing people see as community is usually as a result of outside actio, that is the coming together of people to resist or get through something.

There is no such thing as the Iranian community, simply those Iranians that form a large group.

Really you end up in a discussion of social capital,

Spot on.

On a similar note, I had a major rant at work the other night. We were discussing Andy Murray and his defeat in the final last week. I said I was glad he got beat because he is a boring twat. One of my workmates said that I should have supported him because he is Scottish.

I didn't take kindly to his suggestion.

"Community" is just a way of grouping people together by Righteous (inevitably by colour or religion) in order for them to take ownership of that group. Self appointed spokes"persons" love it. What has always puzzled me is why the "community" aren't fighting back and taking ownership of their own individual voices. Guess that's what the welfare bribes are for

Dizzy has a new community now. He'll be sharing the showers with Big Dave and Sweaty Bob who will be delighted to let him take them in hand. Amongst other things.

He'll have trouble 'representing' them though. It's rude to talk with your mouth full.

Reckon you nailed that one JD. :-)

The community tag is fucking annoying ain't it? Considering socialists seem to be adept at destroying real communities at will, it's a bit rich their civil servicespeak taking it over and throwing it out for wannabe pencil chewers to regurgitate.

I see Comment is Free is unusually quiet on this case.

Funny. If it were a white racist cop who got jailed, there'd have been about 6 columnists jacking off all over that place by now.

I loathe the word 'community'. Besides anything else, it is spectacularly lazy.

As a member of the blogging community, I'm hugely offended. :o)
