Another model, another racist tweet

These half-assed apologies almost piss me off more. The irrationality, ignorance and bigotry doesn't disappear when they say "LOL SORRY!".

Is the best we can hope for that racists don't act out their beliefs?

That's good enough for me.

Yup, i cannot think of anything a black person could say to a white person to make them upset hahaha. Calling for genocide though i suppose could do it LOL, so well done to this retard for finding a way to offend the whites :D.

What a moronic thing to suggest:mad: People are upset by the racist association of the word, not the word in itself.
You all have your panties in a bunch because this model is being racist (correctly so, the upset that is). She does not call for genocide because she is incapable of doing and what do you know about genocide anyway. Gods what is wrong with people here! When people say but how can a "mere" song upset you, you go all up in arms and make wild claims of genocide and then turn around and wonder why a "mere" racist word might upset others so much.

In fact, killa in his post African Tech does admit that a racist term borne of real racism would hurt a white person, but you overlooked that and he too missed the meaning of his own post.

Read again. She wished for genocide. She wished for all white people to be dead.

Can you not distinguish between "you are an idiot" and "you should die because you are an idiot"?

I can't imagine a racist term that would hurt me.

Soutpiel, rooinek, whitey, pinkie - I'm meant to be offended, seriously ?

Those are more culturally discriminative though, aren't they? Similar to dutchman.

But yeah, I'm not offended by racist words, it's racism put into action that bothers me.

As part of a larger conversation, I don't get why words offend people at all. Like swear words, for example. Words are just tools to impart meaning, nothing more. I'd be much more bothered if someone seriously told me he wanted to gut me like a fish with a rusty knife than when someone tells me to f(#$ off. Meaning and intent, that's the important part, not the actual sounds.
 
so lets say... some dude somewhere is irritating me, and i call him a "k" and he is white... is that still racist ?
 
This morning on the "Justice Factor" Justice Malala called Leandra a "bloody racist" live on TV
Wonder if he will do the same with this woman.

Edit: Re-broadcast tomorrow morning at 09:30

Thats probably the thing. Not all races have the proverbial chip on shoulder, looking for any opportunity to pull the race card at every corner. Saying that all of any particular race should die is a tad on the Hitler side of things.

I think you can just make sweeping statements like that. Whites in this country have never been oppressed like the blacks, Indians etc. So obviously you would expect them to get more offended given the context, especially with a country like ours with such a horrific history.

You would be kidding yourself if you think people can just forget what they experienced under Apartheid and just act as if it didn't happen.

I'm not going to go into the whole youth that didn't experience Apartheid debate but lets be honest there are still people who are racist and most of the time the call outs seem legitimate. Just because you or I don't get offended it doesn't mean that everyone else needs to abide by that. Also all races in this country use the race card. Visit the news24 comment section if you honestly believe white people don't through out the race card.

Grab yourself a history book sometime. There are many cases where whites have been opressed, and still are being opressed.

Umm, and exactly how did I miss the meaning of my own post? :confused: :wtf:

and for the record, I did not "admit" the point, I "posited" the point!
