He couldn't articulate what he wants to do with that 'statement', because all he wanted to do is create controversy and promote himself. And she's there because she'll do anything that is paying with a right wing bent because she decided the right is there she can make a niche. It does make himself look like a even bigger bellend than he already he is as people tgat wear this t shirt are people like the KKK. Why any black person would wear that on that basis is beyond me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course racism isn’t acceptable , but I’m not overly for the BLM movement which got hijacked by idiots .

I mean bananas are generally big so not hard not to find on somebody? People are only taking a banana for racist reasons who eats bananas at a football game? You won't be able to buy them soon if a few have their way, so I wouldn't worry too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems to caused some outrage Very strange behaviour. But Kanye has shown in the past that he doesn't mind flirting with the far right to stir up controversy. But it's strange given that his music is very aggressively anti-racism and pro black rights. At the end of the day, despite being a musical genius, he's mentally unwell. And it shows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Vive_La_Villa Posted October 7, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 7, 2022 (edited) Some people are confusing political correctness with racism. Changing the words of a tree to remove black from it is not the same as throwing a banana at some one. The thing is I agree that PC is going too far in many places to the extent it’s becoming anti productive and causing resentment. But that does not mean we should now trivialise racist malicious acts!

Second,Im not angry I just think that if people made less fuss this racist thing would die a slow death.My point is,simply that society should not go making wholesale changes because of a minority.At the football game mentioned in this thread,my guess is that there would be around 30,000 people at the game and 1 threw a banana,which means that 29,999 did not.Hey,but dont let that stop you from changing the rules for 29,999 people because of ONE Ars@#*le Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why? For one, as an enthusiast for trees it makes it really easy for me to see one and remember what it is called. It’s a good name. Secondly its old name was because people who gave it that name, named it so because of a resemblance to a an aboriginal person with their natural hair style, which is, to use today’s language a bit “awks”. And people could still use its aboriginal name (bullanock), or its Latin name (Kingia Australis) if they want long term consistency? Grass tree is good though.

Apparently ignorant people think that black people are like monkeys so they throw a banana to piss them off.So I was saying how many of the players on the pitch live in trees ( are monkies ) How many of them dont live in trees but have just come from the jungle,and the last point is that there are a lot of African players in the Premier League,so if you throw a banana at a player from Africa,chances are that there are 2/3/5 other players from Africa on the pitch as well. If I call someone a word removed it doesn't mean they are literally a vagina but I'd expect them to be pissed off about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PussEKatt Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I would be pissed off as well,but Im sure that if I ignored it the person saying it would give up after not getting any reaction from me at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
It's Your Round Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 Racism won’t just go away if we all ignore it. It’s an inherent belief/feeling within people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
