Another model, another racist tweet

PostmanPot said:
It's a metaphor when [legally] used to commemorate the struggle. It's hate speech when used to hate. There is a difference and my admission that the Twitts and their Tweets are racist and can garner other racists, by default means I agree it's hate speech, and am vehemently against it. The problem to me is is that you cannot seem to separate the two. When you see a crowd different, marching and singing their songs, your upbringing, emotion and influences dictate to you that it is inherently hatred, calls for genocide, etc.

Let me repeat so we are clear on what the real issue is. There are no calls for white genocide, nor is there white genocide. A Tweet from a Twit is no call for genocide, and not comparable to other nonsense-official genocide watch ratings or other nonsense-statistic websites or any other semi realistic suggestions.

And to be crystal clear, I do understand how emotions etc. can lead to different people having various negative and racial thoughts and beliefs.

If you think I am muddying the water though, then you lack empathy for others.

I'm sure you, Leandra and the other one are good people at the end of the day. ;)

go count the sites making up bull**** about Uhuru, i'm sure they more than make up for the lack of complaints
 
The SA Human Rights Commission has received 45 complaints against model Jessica Leandra Dos Santos after her racist tweet.

The commission, however, said it received none against actress Tshidi Thamane who has also sparked a furore with her racist tweet in response to Dos Santos.

I guess as we are always getting told here - white people just aren't easy to offend;)

WTF are you on about? i don't care about them or Uhuru, i care about the obvious different treatments, i care about the fact that there are more complaints for using the k-word, than there are for calling for the killing of an entire race?

Did you jut want to up your post count here? WTF are you trying to say?!

Dude, wake up. The original Tweet would have offended way more people because it was the first to make news. Also, since it was racism attributed to blacks, there could have +-6 times the amount of people in SA affected, compared to if it was racism attributed to whites.

That or the Commission are lying. Or perhaps they've only checked their PO Box, and haven't checked their email. It's likely...

/sticks a "kick me" sign on Postmans back, then kicks him

this racism has been going on for longer than one article. i know you haven't got a wig up your arse about the black person wishing death on all white humankind, you are pissed at the hypocrisy that people complain about the k word and nobody complains about the genocide stint.

now if you are creative enough you can find websites and groups who are filled with racist twats who do NOTHING but complain about black people. they must be having a field day with the black model and are probably defending the white model to death. they use different mediums, but they are there. there are people who organise white only protests and who go on about how white people must defend themselves, and they all forget one important thing - we're all human.

these are two stupid cows who are a waste of oxygen. you shouldn't be worrying about the number of complaints because all the is suggesting is that you have no faith in black people to use their intelligence. of course black people won't agree with her. of course white people will be offended. but matters of race are idiotic and if we keep obsessing over them then nothing is going to change.

So you're suggesting we just do nothing about racism and it will heal itself ?

That only the white racists must be hauled before the HRC ?

i'm suggesting that obsessing over how many members of each race report someone shouldn't reflect the society we live in. if that is the case then how come only white people end up winning idols?

I don't think the unhappiness is due to only black people only reporting the white model - I'm sure white people also found it offensive enough to take action.

What doesn't gel is that nobody, black or white, apparently took the black racist to task.

They did. Justice Project SA laid a complaint over the weekend. HRC just don't seem to have processed it. Although, JPSA named both models. So maybe that screwed up their search.
