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
So then say that and move on
When is the racism from the other side gonna be addressed?
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
Never
It's literally never going to be addressed. Not in our lifetimes.
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.
Havent white people condemed all racism that has been exposed publicly?
I think they have ..loud and clear... penny sparrow... vicky momberg
over and above what wass necessary
so this is just bs... as is that tweet
It's not a one-time thing though
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
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
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.
Yeah we could do with less of that @AcidOverride
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?
Basically saying "I'm ok now, fuck you all that are still there"
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
Those aren't all the same thing
Refusing to say the k-word is not like giving the keys to your house to someone
It's not even an admission of guilt, it's just the decent thing to do
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
Personally, I don't like the word, but I also don't like the word Dagga. Both offend me 😉
ANC taking WHITE land is not racist... calling us settlers and colonialist and murders and thieves is not racist
None of that is a justification for your actions though
"They raped so now I can rape"
Is that the hill you're going to die on?
The entire point is to be a *better* person. To lead by example
@lambdalizard 🌈🐲 This is true, when you teach kids, you have to be the example
Yup
And it's not like you're giving anything up
It's not like refusing to say/tolerate the k-word means you give up the right to vote, or own property
No racial slur is integral to the functioning of society
all civilised people will agree with you .. no racial slurs are necessary...
But neither are
This is exactly the narrative that the BLF and EFF love .... White racism and white people want to talk about black racism....
I'd rather challenge them on their ideas
"Ok so you've taken the land and driven white people into the sea - now what?"
then it is mislabelled as defense of white racism
