A real racist

[Pale Rider]

Too many posters on here bellow 'racist' at anyone who so much as mentions race or who doesn't share their opinion.

This became beyond satire recently when a poster was taken to task for listing the three most polluting countries in the world.

It's clear some need to re-calibrate their definition of racist.

To help start the process, here's a story about real, genuine, nailed on racist, both online and in real life.

He's way off scale though isn't he?

There are plenty of forms of racism way back from being a Hitler admirer and we see them on display every day.

I am glad he has been stopped but wonder if he is likely to emerge from clink a reformed character or a hardened, more hate filled person.

I rather like the use of the word "person" in place of the usual inflammatory terms - snowflake, gammon, illegal immigrant, benefits scrounger.

What a stupid, ignorant post.

As if racism only becomes racism after it hits a certain threshold.

Your second sentence makes the point perfectly.

Why detract from it with your first sentence? It can serve only to become the focus of his response and your point will be lost in the inevitable trading of provocations.

Paley helpful setting the bar here for Real Racists at 'has a bedroom wallpapered with swastikas'. Instead of somewhere like... oh, I don't know... advocating drowning refugees at sea.

He's very fond of dishing out the opprobrium, and I don't want to deny him his right to receive critique of his thoughts, such as they are, in the same terms.

I'm not actually overly concerned that the toys will inevitably be flung out of the pram. For those that are, scrolling past can lead to a better browsing experience.

What the actual f*ck is the point of this thread?

Just another example of Pale Rider claiming victimhood when he is held to account for his shît opinions.

 

[Bromptonaut]

What the actual f*ck is the point of this thread?

To let us know that somebody has been sent to gaol for being a massive racist troll.

Not sure why that's a 'get out free' card for stuuf that just as racist but not actual Hitler worship.

err .. because that's what NACA was created for? You didn't think it was for calm grown-up discussion of current affairs did you? Oh my dear boy ...

You give him an out from your criticisms, however convincingly put, when you load your reply with insulting remarks.
It allows him to put the focus on your jibes rather than address any substantive point you had.

There could be good discussions on here, if only they weren’t stifled by streams of playground taunts.

A better browsing experience would be not having such nonsense to scroll past in the first place.

Do you genuinely believe he would ever address the substantive point?

I don't.
