Racism isn't a touchy topic if you're not a racist

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Just seen that on twitter, and I thought, how apt!

" it can be tempting to wonder if confronting racist posts on social media can ever achieve anything. Experts say that it really does — and that standing up to racial microaggressions and subtle racist behavior online is a good way to begin change, though it's nowhere near enough."
....
"When these things are not challenged, people think they are OK and that’s how racism reproduces,"

But overt racism, such as that displayed by some on here, should be deleted. To not do so sheds a light on the mindset of the moderators.

I am touchy about racist comments, that is true. It's abhorrent.
I've never been shy of discussing racism.
Anyone who intentionally makes racist comments, especially with the sole intention of being offensive, deserves to become a pariah of society.

its your lifes mission himmy

It should be all of our mission to eradicate racism.
But some are keen to perpetuate it. They evidently enjoy it. They attach smiley faces to display their enjoyment of racism and xenophobia.
Like this one:

I'm definitely with you, Himmy. Keep those p!keys out.

Which fillyboy thought was funny also.

Well, as Cameron once said, "too many twitters makes a ****". How apt!

But you only ever read one word of my post, so any later addition is superfluous.

Really? Who'd have thunk?

I don't hate the Irish, I pity them. Even the Scots & the Welsh look down on 'em.

An old joke that triggers most of the left wing scum. Pointing out that neither the English, the Oirish, the Welsh or the Scots are a race of people is totally lost on them.

As I would say, many racist comments make one an overt racist, and you have certainly uttered many racist comments.
When your racist comments are allowed to remain and my criticism of such comments are deleted, that makes the system racist.
