Jason Karloff Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 The thing that irks me is, yes its great that we hopefully live in a society that objects to racism, sexism etc A generation that wants to change the status quo and challenge the norm for the betterment of everyone. No more accepting injustice. People flock to their keyboards in defence of decency. That's all great. But if the fascist hordes were really marching in the streets, and Enoch Powell was clearing his throat , where would these people then be? Would they be standing shoulder to shoulder manning the defences in a physical sense? I have my doubts. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not 'offended', just puzzled as to 'why people treated him differently'. Anyway..... that Nirvana album cover kid, eh? What an opportunist joker.....

Baloney Balderdash Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 (edited) On 05/01/2022 at 11:56, Bolo said: Americans are not a race. Neither are black people, Chinese or American Indians. There is in fact only one human race. Racism is a term that stems from back when people wrongfully thought that several different human races actually existed. That doesn't however mean that racism doesn't exist. Today the term racism is defined by prejudices and discrimination based on ethnicity/nationality. And being American is an ethnicity/nationality. Worrying that so many people here are being ignorant of that fact. I guess that what can be concluded from this is that British people are dim (as if that had not already been proven by stuff I can not mention without going against the forum code of conduct).

paul_5 Posted January 5, 2022 Share Posted January 5, 2022 Some British people are dim, statistically that’s a given, as are some Americans. My point was that implying that all Americans were dumb is prejudiced 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Karloff Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Americans, ginger people, fat people.... And now the most cherished demographic of all. Camp Vikings. Managed to upset them all 🤔😋 Still I've learnt some valuable lessons from this. Some people can't process simple information. Some people would actually find Blazing Saddles a rascist film? Seems crazy but yer they are out there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Karloff Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 So as the subtle nature of language seems to confuse most people, do you think I should can the idea of starting a thread called "Should we start burning the disabled?" stinky poo better put an emoji or some people will believe that 😛 See a child like symbol. They can process that and feel non threatened. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Karloff Posted January 5, 2022 Author Share Posted January 5, 2022 Well I genuinely hope that all people who were bullied are able to not let it affect them in later life. I only got the occasional comment of Konk Face from our geography teacher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
