I mean, I'm fine with that

2018-08-22 07:37:09 UTC  

It's really the smallest possible concession to make, deciding to *not* use a racial slur

2018-08-22 07:37:43 UTC  

Even "negro" has some background to it (it's latin for "black", and you can argue on those lines it's not really a slur)

2018-08-22 07:37:47 UTC  

But "kaffir" never meant anything good

2018-08-22 07:38:08 UTC  

So just stop using it. Less space in your brain, less drama in your life

2018-08-22 07:39:10 UTC  

But everyday our culture and identity is eroded... our wealth is eroded with the fabulous economic policies of the gov... our job? Havent heard of BBBEE? Property rights about to be flushed... Are you blind.???? and now we are all tarred with the same brush cos of some idiot..
No Im tired of this shit.. I reject that tweet...

2018-08-22 07:39:12 UTC  

Morning 😃

2018-08-22 07:39:22 UTC  

@Rox no-one disagrees that there is a double standard.... My point is just that this puts that discussion WAY back.

2018-08-22 07:39:22 UTC  

Let me catch up on this wall of text 😉

2018-08-22 07:39:47 UTC  

thats just reality.... you can like it or not like it, but it is reality

2018-08-22 07:39:49 UTC  

So why didn't the k-word die with Mandela then?

2018-08-22 07:39:55 UTC  

There were 10 years of things going relatively well in SA, for most people

2018-08-22 07:40:21 UTC  

"Things are going badly now so I want to hang on to this word" ... why? What does it help?

2018-08-22 07:40:51 UTC  

Is it like Super Mario where every time you say it a coin falls from the sky? 😂

2018-08-22 07:41:01 UTC  

So if we all police each others social media and speech it will magically lead to a better society?

2018-08-22 07:41:04 UTC  

Or are you going to argue that the k-word is part of your culture/identity that is being eroded?

2018-08-22 07:41:21 UTC  

If we stop setting bags of shit on fire, yes, it'll help

2018-08-22 07:41:44 UTC  

No... I dont use that word and DO call out people who use it which is why I refuse to be shamed into some bs white guilt because some asshole says it on social media

2018-08-22 07:41:53 UTC  

So then say that and move on

2018-08-22 07:42:33 UTC  

When is the racism from the other side gonna be addressed?

2018-08-22 07:42:35 UTC  

Most of these mobs are just trolls. They're here to get a rise out of people - to make them upset and say even more stupid shit

2018-08-22 07:42:37 UTC  

Never

2018-08-22 07:42:44 UTC  

It's literally never going to be addressed. Not in our lifetimes.

2018-08-22 07:43:04 UTC  

That, unfortunately, is the game we're in. We didn't get to pick the rules, but we *do* get to choose how we respond.

2018-08-22 07:43:50 UTC  

Havent white people condemed all racism that has been exposed publicly?

2018-08-22 07:44:15 UTC  

I think they have ..loud and clear... penny sparrow... vicky momberg

2018-08-22 07:44:28 UTC  

over and above what wass necessary

2018-08-22 07:44:52 UTC  

so this is just bs... as is that tweet

2018-08-22 07:45:07 UTC  

It's not a one-time thing though

2018-08-22 07:45:17 UTC  

For as long as there are people walking around who will do stupid shit, other people have to be around to deal with the mess

2018-08-22 07:45:39 UTC  

There will be another 20 Adams in the next year, specially leading up to elections when the twitter mobs will do whatever they can to make noise

2018-08-22 07:47:53 UTC  

What I have noticed is a trend of people leaving SA, then once in the safety of another country, they become trolls on smedia and stoke the flames.

2018-08-22 07:48:03 UTC  

Yeah we could do with less of that @AcidOverride

2018-08-22 07:48:35 UTC  

We will always have fewer voices, we are a minority. We should speak up on racism but in the same breath understand that we have no control over what people say and do... as a side note, any speech that offends, just shows how weak people are in themselves. If you are offended by someones words, or a word, you should be able to brush it off, how can words/word have so much power over you?

2018-08-22 07:48:37 UTC  

Basically saying "I'm ok now, fuck you all that are still there"

2018-08-22 07:48:41 UTC  

I think you are blind...
If you play nice and hand over your land and be a good boy and dont use the k word ... things will change...???
the intense hatred and racism displayed on social media and indeed by political leaders will evaporate
If it is not adam it will be something else

2018-08-22 07:49:04 UTC  

Those aren't all the same thing

2018-08-22 07:49:11 UTC  

and 4.5m people cannot all be adam...

2018-08-22 07:49:15 UTC  

Refusing to say the k-word is not like giving the keys to your house to someone

2018-08-22 07:49:27 UTC  

It's not even an admission of guilt, it's just the decent thing to do

2018-08-22 07:50:04 UTC  

Fight to the death for your land if you need to, but do it without saying this one single specific word that most people don't want to hear, and that doesn't need to be said in the first place
