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
"Things are going badly now so I want to hang on to this word" ... why? What does it help?
Is it like Super Mario where every time you say it a coin falls from the sky? 😂
So if we all police each others social media and speech it will magically lead to a better society?
Or are you going to argue that the k-word is part of your culture/identity that is being eroded?
If we stop setting bags of shit on fire, yes, it'll help
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.
