Global BLM/Anti-racism chat...
Lots of right wing trolls starting shit about banning things nobody is actually upset over in Finland, I would guess the phenomen is global.
Was reading an article about how chess is racist last week.
It depends who wins the game as to whether or not it’s racist. It can also be seen as a victory for the BLM movement.
-si- White has the highest chance of winning the game as it has the first move (56%) and a better draw percentage than black for the same reason. Funny old parallel.
So white supremacy is the order of the day in this game, loaded in favour of blacks losing as whites get first crack of the whip…
A funny old parallel in the current climate is right, mate!
I was watching something on YouTube yesterday where a university doctor stated that “maths is racist”. I didn’t get to the point where she explained why as the nonsense she was saying getting to her point was maddening. And obviously, it’s a ridiculous suggestion.

Interesting to see some of the Sky team distancing themselves from the BLM activists yesterday.
Follows a string of tweets over the weekend - denouncing Zionism, pushing defunding police, going at Kier Starmer and so on. Personally I think some went too far weeks ago.
Hopefully the militant loonies will have the rug pulled out from under them before too long, without undermining the equality message.
Are we saying that Trent Alexander Arnold having Black Lives Matter on the side of his football boots hasn’t made a difference?
Bernard Manning is funny, mate.
lol
Half the controversy is bullshit drummed up by the clickhole-press.
Not ashamed to admit my goal of reaching number one will probably never happen, ed!

Dawn “Join A Union” Foster? Lols. Imagine being sandwiched between her and hanners at the afters in ed’s gaff! Off your fucking tits, innocently ask for a black coffee and all hell is let loose. Both ears melted into oblivion while all you want to do is hear the breakdown on breeder remix of the phoenix…

Thoughts on this?
Are we too scared to enter into a passionate debate about certain topics for fear of being labelled an ……ist of some sort simply for having a view that differs to someone else?
JK Rowling can fuck off and all.
Transphobic piece of shit. She’s a horrible person.
That list is a fucking joke, full of people who have tried (and sometimes succeeded) in getting people fired from their jobs for something they’ve said. Bari Weiss for example got started for trying to get Palestinians kicked out of US universities.
hugopal I literally googled “JK Rowling transphobic”
Not too hard to look that up
It’s an old story. But again resurfaced. Why the “ ” Hugo? You don’t believe in transphobia either?

The article states “her controversial stance on the transgender community, which critics have called transphobic” - some people on twitter accusing her of being “transphobic” is not proof of her actually being transphobic.
I was curious if you were actually capable of pinpointing the exact part of her stance which can reasonably be defined as “transphobic” and not just a stance on the issue which you disagree with.
“Transphobia” can obviously exist, but I wanted to see you if you can specify exactly what she’s said which justifies that tag; the article you posted doesn’t do that.

Kells77 as per my response to Hannu above, the accusations referenced in that article, while accusing her of transphobia, don’t actually demonstrate that she’s transphobic. If she is, the article doesn’t prove it.
Also, Hannu was the person accusing her of being transphobic - he should supporting on what basis making such an accusation is valid. I wanted to hear what he had to say in justifying his claim. I’m already aware of the Rowling/trans debate btw, I just wondered how Hannu had managed to come to his conclusion.
hugopal Well to be fair, how do you “prove” someone’s transphobic, other than judging their words and actions?
But I get your point. I think it’s just that the question was received in a confrontational manner, given some of your other banter on here. Hannu’s allowed his opinion, he’s provided the source for his conclusion, and there’s no REAL way to prove she is or she isn’t, so I’m not sure there’s anything else that can be provided.
To be honest, I can understand why burds wouldn’t want somebody with an adam’s apple and a massive swinging lob-on wandering into their changing rooms and then telling everyone in there it was their right to be there.
That doesn’t make me transphobic. That is just my reflection on the cold, hard experience of being removed from women’s changing rooms.

Kells77 there’s no REAL way to prove she is or she isn’t
And yet we have absolute mental cases whose ability to present cold, hard facts come in the form of sharing tweets, happy to label her as a transphobic piece of shit. I’m just playing devils advocate on here as per but the shit people get away with now under the banner of fighting for social justice is staggering. That’s not a rant at you, Kells. Just pointing out a fact.
Seriously though, why do we suddenly have to give a massive shit about issues that affect 0.06% (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5227946/) of the population?
i’ve followed nothing about this jk rowling story, but from those tweets, is she not just identifying a difference between biological sex and gender identification?
Careful now 303, you’ll be getting a ku klux Klan hood in the JC secret Santa at this rate…
