Nah blud

jonattonyeah

Along_the_Wire that isn’t racism, it’s not something built on centuries of persecution for starters.

Yeah I know. I was just joking around, really. And I am a mother fucker so no harm no foul

Dubman

Mad_Cyril
Fuck. I best look for another cleaner then.

Along_the_Wire Having said all that, I am a ginger cunt.

In the USA Thread you told me:

“stop being a boring fucking cunt”

You also said that:

“This isn’t just about shooting anyway. This kicked off because some cunt knelt on a black man’s neck and killed him.”

By now happily acknowledging yourself to be a “cunt”, what aspect of your own behaviour are you admitting to?

Along_the_Wire

hugopal I’m having a laugh, I don’t really think I’m a cunt. I’m not really even that ginger any more either.

You, however…

jonattonyeah

Jesus, Hugo, can’t believe you spent the time to write that.

A couple of mates and I were subjected to some vicious racism/prejudice/harassment in Stansted on the way back to Dublin in ’99 after spending New Years in London. In retrospect it was fucking hilarious as they called all 3 of us Paddy but they didn’t find any bombs in our bags luckily enough. We were buckled after 4 days of all nighters and only spoke about it a week later. We all settled on the fact they were a bunch of small minded bigots and brushed it under the carpet. What else is there to do.

I had to call out some racism earlier.

Beggars belief that anyone actually judges anyone by the colour of their skin or where they’re from.

It’s beyond ignorant and small minded.

I’d describe Hugo as painfully dull.

Did anyone see the Rodney P’s Jazz Funk doc on BBC4 last night? Eye opening for someone like me who knew little about its origins. Some great music

Watching the news you’d never guess this, but riots get more clicks than peaceful protests.

”Our data suggest that 96.3 percent of events involved no property damage or police injuries, and in 97.7 percent of events, no injuries were reported.”

Racism: The marginalization and/or oppression of people of color based on a socially constructed racial hierarchy that privileges white people.

It gets better as you read.

That ADL page is absolutely baffling.

I wouldn’t have bothered replying though but your timing is quite extraordinary given that this article just appeared today, with Whoopi Goldberg being forced to apologise after facing criticism from the likes of the ADL for comments she made on her show ‘The View’ on ABC. Quotes from the article:

"In the original discussion, Goldberg said: “Let’s be truthful, the Holocaust isn’t about race, it’s not.”
“It’s about man’s inhumanity to man, that’s what it’s about. These are two groups of white people.”"

"Responding to her comments Mr Greenblatt, the ADL’s chief executive, said: “No Whoopi Goldberg…(the Nazis) dehumanized them and used this racist propaganda to justify slaughtering 6 million Jews.”"

https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/02/01/whoopi-goldberg-apologises-saying-holocaust-isnt-race/

So on the ADL’s own website it claims racism is “oppression of people of color”, while the ADL’s own chief exec is pointing out that the Holocaust was “racist”.

So is the ADL trying to claim Jews are “people of color”, or are they more likely tying themselves in knots trying to appear politically correct and appease social justice warrior people of color - including those who it turns out wish to downplay the historic oppression faced by Jews and undermine the very cause which the ADL is supposed to stand for?!

Truly bizarre.

Along_the_Wire

What’s the point here?

Discrediting BLM? Hugo is gonna have a wank shortly

BlainSA

Along_the_Wire In that case, it’s 100% not about discrediting BLM. FAKE NEWS!

BlainSA

jonattonyeah Almost. It’s on the social media merry-go-round at the moment.

hugopal I didn’t realize Jew is a race..? I thought it’s a religion..

jonattonyeah

The ADL’s definition of racism does make some sense here in the States, but runs into that issue of them thinking everything in the world is America-centric. As if this place is indicitive of everywhere else.

But it’s like oh cool so you’re not racist being Black and hating Asian people, given that defintion, you’re just bigoted. Is that considered some sort of win? Congrats, I guess?

hugopal

jonattonyeah it may stem from America-centric thinking, sure, but that doesn’t stop it from being completely nonsensical codswallop.

That’s before you get on to the point I just raised above in that the ADL definition literally contradicts the ADL’s chief executive’s comments pointing out that the Holocaust was “racist”.

On your second paragraph, in the demented world of critical race theorists where race is the most important lens by which the world can be viewed, being “just bigoted” would probably be considered a “win” as opposed to being a root-of-all-evil racist. But really that’s all part of what is having invented a dumb game with nonsensical rules whereby only your opponent can ever get given a red card, while allowing you to do the same but be excused.
