If you can’t see how, as a white male, you can’t have experienced the racial profiling that a black person might experience I can’t really help you 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bannedfromHandV Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 You have to wonder where all this stops now. There's something about going back in history to judge people based on standards that have developed over potentially hundreds of years that doesn't sit comfortably with me. Then on the other hand, I abhor racism. Surely there's a way we can move forward from this without tearing up history, I mean if all symbols of oppression etc need to now be removed from sight and mind then you might as well bulldoze most of the western world and start all over again given how much of it has been built off the blood and sweat of the oppressed. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Royal Family made millions from Nazi concentration camps yet I have little choice but to carry pics of Liz in my pocket as currency.

LondonLax Posted June 12, 2020 Share Posted June 12, 2020 It blows my mind how difficult it is for some people to understand nuance and context. The Wire is one of the most ‘woke’ and liberal tv shows out there. The Office takes the piss out of ignorant bigots. I really can’t understand why some people have such difficulty working out why some things are no longer acceptable but others are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s classic comedy. Many people love it but it will definitely be considered racist in this day and age. I’m surprised it hasn’t been mentioned. Where did you grow up of you don’t mind me asking?

I hate Sting, I despise reggae, I loathe white man reggae. Any of your post, direct me to a source. I can’t see a secret album by him anywhere named white reggae.
