Doesn't make it alright

We know, for sure, that Muslims are members. Important posts made about keeping abattoirs going.
Yet there is a constant dribble of homophobic and racist posts.
Often presented as humour, or thinly disguised as political comment.
The vast majority of posters on here will choose to ignore it, because it doesn't offend them.
It's the worst excuse in the world, and it doesn't make it alright.

You gone woke Delilah?

Sometimes by saying something you become part of the problem.

Doesn‘t say it’s right but it exacerbates divisions in society.

Nobody cares apart from those who choose to be victims and want to limit their personality to merely their race, religion, sexual orientation etc.
But the lefties are persuaded to not class anyone as an individual but to go by group identities.

I'm quite sure if I went on a forum made up "identities" which aren't applicable to me that there may be some jokes going around about people that are orientated the same way as I am, and the truth is I don't care, and neither will any other relatively balanced human being.
A handful of self appointed victims are the only ones who take offence and of course their huge following of virtue signaling fake sympathizers pretend to be offended on the victim's behalf.

Yes, Morgan Freeman suggests, racism won't go away if you keep talking about it.

I find myself being subjected to the worst forms of hatred on social media simply by being an English farmer, a situation over which I had little say.. We as a group are guilty of every crime going, from destroying the planet, murder of innocent fur babies, destruction of our ancient monuments, depriving the downtrodden masses of access to "their" land, and so on, as well as all the crimes of the British Empire. I generally laugh it off but I guess it has a negative cumulative effect. For some reason, we are fair game though and no one cares. If we said similar things about anyone else, we would be hauled over the coals for it.

Ah ha, the downtrodden.
You mean reasonably comfortable dog walkers.
The real downtrodden inhabit my work world and have little worries about being able to walk in a farmers field. They want to give their children the best of a tricky situation.

A wise quote of this time I was told by one of my lads ‘no one is more persecuted than a white heterosexual male’

 

[Dry Rot]

Words are not necessary to be racist or discriminatory. And actions can be very subtle and more effective. When is it going to become illegal to have racist thoughts?

I don't really understand people who get upset about some comment on social media, written by someone they don't know and have never met. Just block them or ignore them if it bothers you, though I do admit to enjoying the occasional bit of verbal sparing!

Now, what was that balding ginger git saying about people of colour?

Self-appointed moral guardians and those who insist on being offended on behalf of others do nothing to help, indeed generally all they do is cause more tension, or even sometimes create it in the first instance.
