Just listened to the BBC Radio Ulster interview with the Deputy First Minister for Northern Ireland, Emma Little-Pengelly. I think it was a good response as she was condemning violence, but also acknowledging the problem and catalyst (a lack of social housing) and started talking about how she’ll try and work to create more social housing so people aren’t displaced by migration, etc. I think this was a common sense approach instead of just simply encouraging violence or declaring war on the rioters, which I feel like would just make things worse.
It is true, we should expand social housing. I think everyone can agree with that.
Ah, so you aren’t calling me racist because of what I’m saying, you’re calling me racist because you jumped to a conclusion, creating a headcanon of me, then rejecting anything I say because it contradicts your headcanon.
When you ignore people with moderate concerns about things, things get worse. I’ll never ever advocate for or justify violence, but like how the black lives matter riots happened, or the stonewall ones, I can see how these ones spawned. Because people are ignored and dismissed, whether as “nasty marxists”, “(homophobic slur)s” or “racists”
Apparently building social housing and reducing literal crime is “racist” now.
I am calling you a racist because you use racist language. And then you are lying pretending you are not a racist. You should have also said that “some of my best friends are Asians”, it would be as credible as your other statement.
What part of my language was racist? And how would me having an Asian best friend not be credible or believable?
Can you actually read? If so, read my previous comments.
Since when was the term “valid concerns about immigration” racist? Valid concerns refers to non racist concerns.
Have you ever heard about dog whistling? And no, there is no such thing as “valid concern about migration” in the UK, country with smaller migrants proportion than many other west European nations. It is racism, pure and simple - unless you also have “valid concerns about too many white children being born”.
Damn, I made an error of discussing with a racist 🙄 You won’t hear from me again, sweetie.
And the situation in Western european nations is worse. It’s got nothing to do with race.
