If he thought about the impact of his words for more than half a second he might have cut that piece out, and we'd not even know his name

This is one set of rules for one people and another for the other...
How can a society that wants unity expect this to have a good result..

No, it's common sense

Yes he is extremely stupid

It's one word. Just don't say the word.

You can say a thousand other words that mean the same thing

but that doesnt make us all guilty as the tweet posted above implies

@lambdalizard 🌈🐲 Or you can not be racist instead

That's impossible nowadays @Tom_Servo

Anyone who doesn't like you for any reason will label you racist

but they will be wrong

And you can't control what people say about you, but you *can* control what you say

if I regularly use slurs, then they will be right

truth matters

or ever use slurs

It is a double standard, but why give the EFF and BLF more ammo against us? It is stupid

the double standard can only be addressed if we have a clean house

Case in point.. the blf dude told renaldo he condones white women being raped (I am a white woman)
And this is just cool... no one says a thing.. he idolises some racist criminal and its all cool...
But one white idiot says something vulgar and SA goes insane... see the double standard...

you can't go to the trial of a rapist where there is video evidence of the rape and start talking about all the false accusations of rape that are out there

this oke undone some of the headway that was being made

The video is out there on renaldos channel
Unfortunately it is bigger news to chase the white dude... when they should BOTH be in trouble

@Rox you are right, definitely a double standard. But like @lambdalizard 🌈🐲 said, we can control what we say and say the same thing without using a word we know will start a pushback

If it is not a word from adam... it will be a tshirt from H&M ...

The mindset must change

Don't feed the trolls

NO racism against ANY race tolerated

Not henpecking the odd white idiot...

I see racist crap EVERYDAY on social media and there is no outcry...

Put it this way: As a white person, you get to keep your job, your family, your wealth (most of it, depending on how EWC goes), your culture and your identity, if you agree to just not use this one very specific word that 40 million people have decided is a word they don't want to hear

I mean, I'm fine with that

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

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)

But "kaffir" never meant anything good

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

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...

Morning 😃

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

Let me catch up on this wall of text 😉

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

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

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