LT wrote:The text that NJSS shared is typical of the methods used by both the far right and far left on social media to get across their message.
This particular one is clever(ish), in that just about every white Male can identify with many of the individual statements, finds them funny or at least apt and decides to post it on and thus it is quickly spread to millions.
This particular one has a couple of not very subtle anti gay and Muslim statements sneaked in to it. The originators know that most people want be bothered to remove these, even if they aren’t anti gays and Muslims. As is the case here.
The same tactic was used, with great success by antisemites in literature published in the decades up to start of WW2. Just one or two subtle digs, read by many, keep repeating it and it’s eventually absorbed by the masses.
Or just the usual lazy ‘hilarious’ sh*t cut and pasted from facebook Now Golf GTI PP, 7 speed DSG.

Does it matter? It’s humour and it’s in the humour section. Surely we don’t need to be asking for Jokes to be corroborated  DS3 TDV6 HSE - Silver with Alpaca (old one) Gone

The media are now unbelievable with their inane questioning everything and personally I think this whole affair is actually making race relations worse not better...
Is that because the subject is out of its previously well-controlled box? ....sweep it under the carpet ....suppress the issues that minorities are having to deal with daily just because you are sick of it?
Aside from the violence and vandalism, which I in no way condone, I'm quite pleased that, as a country, we are having to look in the mirror.
Well controlled box? What evidence do you have of that?
Which of the minorities are you speaking of? Sweeping statements DG..

If I have to explain those points then the whole subject is obviously a lost cause   21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

No some of us would to see some evidence rather than rely on generic rantings...
If I can’t question your evidence then we really are a lost cause...

Well, I'm not 'ranting' ...ranting is for those that want to harp on about statues of people they've never heard of being removed ...or worrying about episodes of programmes being edited or removed ...but if they really want to watch them they can buy the DVD off Amazon.
I offer no evidence other than the history of minorities who have been oppressed by a white majority, that some could choose to educate themselves about if they could be bothered.
I see it as fear ...when ultimately we all just want to get on with our lives. I live among minorities without fear because I take the view of live and let live. Paranoia seems to prevail among those who are the most distant from other cultures.
I'm happy in my mind about it, I see no colour, I would not like to be similarly oppressed for it. Apologist? ...what am I apologising for? 21 year LR veteran > D2 GS 2003 > D3 S 2006 > D3 HSE 2009 > D4 HSE 2013 > D4 HSE 2015 > D5 HSE 2018 > DS HSE R-Dynamic P300e 2021

Well you are the only one rambling on about a well controlled box? Whatever that is?
You are also apparently quite critical and suggesting that people are uneducated because they appear to disagree with your point of view...
We all live in modern Britain and all quite happily believe it or not... you are the one bringing colour into it...oppression is not only a ‘white’ (whatever that is) historic issue...

I couldn't give a  about people agreeing or disagreeing with my point of view ...other than my ability to be able to express it....which appears easier for me than for others.

I think the issue is that some/many aren't happy. That's rather the point.
Lots of people, from both sides of the discussion, are talking about statues of people they've never heard of. People that they now claim are part of their past / culture or repressed past / repressed culture.
My own view is that what happened 2 or 3 or more life times ago is gone. No amount of breast beating will change it. But that doesn't mean it should be ignored. Better to admit things were done that aren't acceptable today but were normal at the time. That doesn't mean we should continue to glorify those that did things we no longer hold to be acceptable.

Making up more untrue quotes to try and suit your argument.... oh dear.... I refer to my earlier comments that I am bored with the diatribe... this thread epitomises why I’m sad...
