From their point of view, whites still have everything *and* continue to use racial slurs

2018-08-22 07:59:34 UTC  

I'd be mad, myself, if the situation were reversed

2018-08-22 08:00:16 UTC  

It's even more maddening, I'm sure, that there's no word they can come up with for "white people" that's degrading

2018-08-22 08:00:24 UTC  

Read up.. I dont say it... and dont condone it.. or people who do
But in the grand scheme of things i doubt that is the REAL problem here..
Racism exists against whites too ... beyond just feeling offended... some of which is actual legislation...
Causing white people to flee from this country...

2018-08-22 08:01:06 UTC  

My point is... until this is addressed on BOTH sides... this will continue

2018-08-22 08:01:22 UTC  

And white people can address it right the fuck now by deciding to be conscious of the words they use

2018-08-22 08:01:25 UTC  

Or just one word in particular

2018-08-22 08:01:44 UTC  

It's not going to solve everything, but it *is* a step in the right direction. One that should have been taken decades ago.

2018-08-22 08:02:47 UTC  

I think it wass taken decades ago which is why there is a huge outcry when it is used..
and realistically there is only an outcry once a year or so ... as it is not a commonplace thing..
Where as the other racism is daily and considered normal...

2018-08-22 08:03:10 UTC  

and nothing is said

2018-08-22 08:03:29 UTC  

Really? 😂

2018-08-22 08:03:41 UTC  

We're literally on a discord right now that exists because of that

2018-08-22 08:04:32 UTC  

I dont see it making headlines the way adam, penny sparrow, vicky momberg does...
I dont see it trending

2018-08-22 08:04:49 UTC  

One law for all...

2018-08-22 08:05:10 UTC  

Less than 20% of the country is on Twitter, and less than 5% are active

2018-08-22 08:05:18 UTC  

Don't take twitter trends as a reflection of what's actually happening

2018-08-22 08:05:32 UTC  

The media machine loves sensationalist topics, they drive attention and sell ads

2018-08-22 08:05:32 UTC  

Media ... not just twitter

2018-08-22 08:05:54 UTC  

but why only the white racist ?

2018-08-22 08:06:13 UTC  

this video was posted on social media

2018-08-22 08:06:24 UTC  

If there were no white racists, there would be nothing to report

2018-08-22 08:06:31 UTC  

where there is far worse and far more often DAILY

2018-08-22 08:06:33 UTC  

Yes, the game is unfair. Complaining about it won't change that fact.

2018-08-22 08:06:57 UTC  

Ummm.. actually historically things only changed when people complained and said enough

2018-08-22 08:07:23 UTC  

Consider the context though

2018-08-22 08:07:43 UTC  

They're not wrong when they point out that white people are 8% of the population but are disproportionately wealthy, better-educated, and have more opportunities

2018-08-22 08:07:50 UTC  

Now we're gonna complain because we don't like the news we see?

2018-08-22 08:08:48 UTC  

If it bothers you, don't read it

2018-08-22 08:08:55 UTC  

If you keep seeing racist shit on social media, maybe get off social media

2018-08-22 08:15:10 UTC  

It comes from the top down... if the leaders of society are perpetuating racism it stands to reason that the masses will follow
Avoiding social media or Malemas twitter page doesnt change a thing.. head in the sand...
As long as there are race based laws and EWC ...it will continue...
perhaps a better government who grows the economy... creates jobs and gives real economic empowerment will change things must faster on both sides than censoring speech and some idiots who are nobodies in real life...

2018-08-22 08:15:27 UTC  

the issue with black twitter is the fact that a lot of POC agree with other POC just be relevant.

2018-08-22 08:16:00 UTC  

but how is it they are allowed to say the things they do and its cool...

2018-08-22 08:16:11 UTC  

Because there's 40 million of them and 5 million of us

2018-08-22 08:16:26 UTC  

so endless placation is the answer?

2018-08-22 08:16:28 UTC  

If the situation were reversed (like it is in the US), the majority would say whatever the fuck they wanted about the minority (and do)

2018-08-22 08:16:41 UTC  

It sucks, it's unprincipled and unconstitutional, but that's the situation we're in

2018-08-22 08:17:15 UTC  

this was not what Mandela preached

2018-08-22 08:17:31 UTC  

Unfortunately he's not god

2018-08-22 08:17:36 UTC  

some are equal and others are more equal

2018-08-22 08:18:42 UTC  

We cant solve this... I think the problems here are way more complex ..
The k word and the settler rhetoric are symptoms not the causes of it all

2018-08-22 08:24:50 UTC  

@Rox i agree they are symptoms
