This Bernardo Silva Benjamin Mendy Tweet Business
|
|
I can't believe the uproar over Silva's tweet to Mendy, who was clearly not offended at all. It was even spoken about, at length, on this morning's edition of Sunday Supplement. The party line was that it was unacceptable. Though I expected that to be the view of one of the guests, Darren Lewis, I was surprised the others, which included Martin Samuel, agreed.
The tweet was clearly banter between two 20 something mates, but the outrage mob want to build it up a something sinister.

Danny Baker got sacked for less. At least he wasn't inferring a likeness or making a direct link.
Welcome to the UK in 2019.
I wonder if there will come a time when Trevor Nelson gets sacked for once getting Darren Day and Pat Sharp mixed up in the mid 90's..

Always sounds harsh wishing death on people, but I wish all the people offended by things like this would just die and hopefully painfully.
Thick cunts dont realise that its them who are making the world a worse place with all of this pointless bollocks.
Sort of people who want others prosecuted for harmless nonsense like this, yet would fight to have people saved from the death penalty even if they've murdered 20 people as it wasnt a race crime.
Cunts.

Agree with everything said about the pointlessness of this charge.
But also agree has to be said that if you use Twitter expect to reach and be called out by the lowest common denominator who will read it entirely differently.
WhatsApp for mates.

The social justice political model is enabled by identity politics, you described it perfectly.
The concept is that most groups are oppressed, but they fail to realise that the oppressions are interlinked, co-dependent and sometimes entirely unavoidable.
The SJ solution is to identify and lift all of the perceived forms of oppression to enable everybody to be lifted up and freed from their chains owing an eternal debt to their political masters.
What actually happens is the offense-reapers compete with each other and accuse all parts of society of oppression and in order to remove the oppression, societal structures have to be torn down.
From chaos, comes order. (It doesn't).

You've got to be thinking what a pitifully useless life someone must have to put there nose in where it don't belong and try to make an issue out of this.
We get it. You're sad & lonely. That's YOUR problem; don't try to make it ours.

What a truly ridiculous decision. It’s so laughable that it’s not even worth commenting on any more. The world is fucked.

John Barnes has a pretty good take on it .
Reckoned if it was compared to him then it would be racist as he is lighter skinned with small lips.
Simon Jordan said someone compared him with Prince Charming from Shreck so should he start jumping up and down?
That soppy cunt from the mirror was really trying to put words into Barns mouth but John was having nothing of it.
He even dragged up barns last quotes about race but stopped short of calling him an Uncle Tom . Barnes was not impressed.

I don’t think social media is to blame, that’s just the vehicle. You know it isn’t to blame because as has been said, if it was a lack person comparing a white person to a white cartoon figure, it wouldn’t be a problem.
The issue here is our cancerous approach to social cohesion which says that being white is flawed, and being black makes you a victim. It helps nobody, it’s divisive, and regressive in the extreme in that it seeks to categorise and label everyone with your individual worth being determined by the group you are assigned to. If you’re in the right group you have certain privileges, in the wrong group, you’re guilty of certain social crimes, all of this is decided by immutable characteristics that you can’t change*.
* The one exception is for white men to instantly become victims and raise their social standing by declaring themselves transgender.

This is true - WHO's limited appeal has, to date, given us many privileges a few would like eradicated and many have already lost.
It only takes another loon (like the "duchess") to start drawing attention to the site and someone will go for it.
