No not a disabled joke, why do you have cerebral palsy? a spastic is a derogatory term nowadays for an moron or stupid person.

Ah I see that you are an avid News Corp reader. Exaggerated talking points favoured by conservatives but falter under-weight of facts and examination. Yeah, I empathise with the plight of the Boer, especially the horror stories of rape, murder, and evil but that isn't something perpetrated by agents of their government; that is private citizens murdering eachother, and South Africans do love a murder. Taxi drivers murder eachother in South Africa for fares, for crying out loud; that isn't a country you should expect egalitie, fraternitie, and equalitie. Actually, South Africa has quite a lot of equality when it comes to murder, seems it happens to everyone. Trigger-happy those that 'protect and serve' is another issue, and quite a big issue in the USA. Their police murder far too many people for my taste, especially considering the USA thinks of itself as the gold standard of what the world should be.

Deserves a more considered answer, I don’t consume news corp product. Not all whites in Africa are Boer either. But to stop going off on a tangent, back to the US. I looked at FBI stats in the aftermath of George Floyd and although blacks commit 52% of violent crime in the states and account for 17-18% population they’re still killed less than whites by Police. We could discuss the amount of killing by police (which I’d agree is high)but from a federal level I’d disagree US police are actively targeting the black population via police brutality. I think there will be cases that are exceptions to that rule, but from a systematic point of view I’m not buying I’m afraid. anyway on topic, Ben Mee is a cunt and Dyche belongs in league 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course mate, but the point I'm making is that people were always offended, now they are just loud about it. For instance, if I walked up to a bloke in 1965 in a pub and called him a 'spastic cunt' I'd probably get my lights turned out, because that would offend him. Of course for a different reason and reaction than someone who is the parent of a handicapped child (I'd probably get my lights turn out as well depending on the parent), or even the average punter today. I reckon people were always thin skinned, just handled it differently, and the culture to how someone reacts has changed. Today you'd probably get banned from loads of pubs for punching someone out, even if they did call you a 'spastic cunt', that itself is a deterrent. I reckon people just can't handle social situations anymore and don't have an idea of what to do when confronted with something they don't like. The internet has anihilllated our social skills, sometimes it is easier to roll with the punches than make a scene out of something. Personally, a lot of the time I roll with the punches, yeah it's easy to get fired up and want to react to something, but I reckon people were better at analysing a situation and walking away from before it escalates.

I recall you mentioned once you are over 40... so you lived in a more racist era including one that had apartheid South Africa. There was way more discrimination back then. There's your answer as to why people get "offended by everything". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More whites are killed that is true, but the ratio of black people gettting killed by police is higher than whites. Also, violent crime doesn't necessarily justify police murder, if two black blokes are having a punch up, that is a violent crime, and I don't think guns out fixes that. Mate the officer that killed Floyd had a history of racial violence, he shouldn't have been a cop in the first place, the police unions have deals to scrub records on officers. The fact that a PUBLIC UNION will openly do that and allow him to serve and protect is an aberration. Implicit bias exists, it doesn't have to be cross burning KKK clowns to be racist, even just being acutely aware that black people cause more crimes creates a bias in a human's monkey brain (even though it is a fact) that maybe makes one more aggressive to black suspects, or even more suspicious, leading way to confirmation bias 'ha, I knew this guy was a perp, I'm so smart' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
