I'd be mad, myself, if the situation were reversed
It's even more maddening, I'm sure, that there's no word they can come up with for "white people" that's degrading
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...
My point is... until this is addressed on BOTH sides... this will continue
And white people can address it right the fuck now by deciding to be conscious of the words they use
Or just one word in particular
It's not going to solve everything, but it *is* a step in the right direction. One that should have been taken decades ago.
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...
and nothing is said
Really? 😂
We're literally on a discord right now that exists because of that
I dont see it making headlines the way adam, penny sparrow, vicky momberg does...
I dont see it trending
One law for all...
Less than 20% of the country is on Twitter, and less than 5% are active
Don't take twitter trends as a reflection of what's actually happening
The media machine loves sensationalist topics, they drive attention and sell ads
Media ... not just twitter
but why only the white racist ?
this video was posted on social media
If there were no white racists, there would be nothing to report
Yes, the game is unfair. Complaining about it won't change that fact.
Ummm.. actually historically things only changed when people complained and said enough
Consider the context though
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
Now we're gonna complain because we don't like the news we see?
If it bothers you, don't read it
If you keep seeing racist shit on social media, maybe get off social media
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...
the issue with black twitter is the fact that a lot of POC agree with other POC just be relevant.
but how is it they are allowed to say the things they do and its cool...
Because there's 40 million of them and 5 million of us
so endless placation is the answer?
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)
It sucks, it's unprincipled and unconstitutional, but that's the situation we're in
this was not what Mandela preached
Unfortunately he's not god
some are equal and others are more equal
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
All I want to do is braai!!!
