Fact is ALL of your fellow Oxford United fans arent racists.... like everywhere in life , with few exceptions, large groups of people will always have differing views supporters of a football team are no different, perceptions and beliefs, which is their right to have and to express, which isnt , yet , illegal..... maybe your comment should have included the word' some' or 'a few' ... as it kind of implies' all ' (?) are tarred with same brush @YellowTaxi ?No I'm just shocked by the racism of my fellow Oxford fans.
I'm quoting this reply purely so I can 'like' it twice.Fact is ALL of your fellow Oxford United fans arent racists.... like everywhere in life , with few exceptions, large groups of people will always have differing views supporters of a football team are no different, perceptions and beliefs, which is their right to have and to express, which isnt , yet , illegal..... maybe your comment should have included the word' some' or 'a few' ... as it kind of implies' all ' (?) are tarred with same brush @YellowTaxi ?
Hence why I think it's trolling. Sad really, and cheapens real racism when some bandy the term around so freely at anything that they don't agree with.Fact is ALL of your fellow Oxford United fans arent racists.... like everywhere in life , with few exceptions, large groups of people will always have differing views supporters of a football team are no different, perceptions and beliefs, which is their right to have and to express, which isnt , yet , illegal..... maybe your comment should have included the word' some' or 'a few' ... as it kind of implies' all ' (?) are tarred with same brush @YellowTaxi ?
Getting back to the "ban" by social media and what constitutes "hate".
There is a programme on I-player about the Third Party corporations employed by the likes of FB et al to "clean" their platforms.
Can`t remember the name but I`m sure you can find it if you wish.
Massive offices of people based in Malaysia or Taiwan who have something like 20 seconds to view & judge an image or a reported post and decide to delete or not within the rules. The expected target of "being right" is 100%, 4 "misses" in a month its a written warning.
If these same people are to be the judge, jury and executioner to "hate" posts then George Orwell wasn`t far wrong.
We already have legislation that defines such things, use that and prosecute/educate the perpetrators.
Banning people with alternative views is fundamentally dangerous, it is better to see what they are doing and arguing against it than creating an underground movement.
There's no evidence there though is there Peter? Philip Hammond for example made a similar error where he presented statistics which got the cost of HS2 wrong by 20 billion Pounds
Why do you describe her as" being incapable of rational decisions"?
Exactly. a great example of the racist attitudes present in the media. (And obviously in Essex too.)
So you've posted a link of Diane Abbot making a couple of errors.
On being asked about why she's not on the media, when she is on the media.
Where someone has added a laughter track and comic sound effects when she makes perfectly good points.
You've put together 4 or 5 examples over 10 years- once where she makes a mistake once where she doesn't want to discuss her child on TV - which seems perfectly reasonable to me. and that is supposed to be not an example of a politicain making a mistake but that she's "incapable of rational decisions."
looks like racism to me.

What he said.It's fine to scrutinise Abbott and to find her mistakes irritating/amusing. However the facts that she gets so much more flack than any other MP and has done for years and she is also one of the few black MPs who will call out the UKs history of racism are so obviously linked.
You're not racist for scrutinising Abbott but if you apply more scrutiny to her than you do other MPs and if you laugh a lot longer at her slip ups than anyone elses it probably has something to do with her being black.
NB: this doesn't mean you're a bad person, just that you've picked up bad habits because we live in a racist society. One huge problem we have with racism these days is no one will admit to racist thoughts because there's the idea that racists are bad people. In reality most people will harbour some racial prejudice and not all of those people are evil. It's much more complex than racists are hateful and I'm not so I can't be racist and therefore neither can the opinion I'm holding
