Have we reached a point in society where we see racism when it isn’t there?

I think over the summer last year, it got to a point where people were accused of being racists, not for saying or doing something actually racist, but for saying they didn’t think something was racist.

Now we have this, this week, a national hero, the most humble and unassuming guy possible, a guy who fought against the most racist state in living memory in Europe, a guy who wanted to do a fundraiser, without expecting it to be £1000, never mind what it did, a man that has the support of everyone in Britain, save a few trolls, a man that received donations from 160+ countries, his support being labelled as not only a cult but a “white nationalist cult”.

We have seen it on this forum somewhat, within minutes of the laughable
Handforth Council video going up, someone was moaning about how white everyone is in the video.

Is this the new issue? Will the so-called “anti racists” make sure we will never let go of racism, as they’ll find it everywhere and make a point of it?

Is the national response to Captain Tom “white nationalist”?

Personally, as someone who is Church of England, I do not want this clergyman representing my church.

Are you tired again Ban? I’m calling that moron a ****. Of course it’s not fucking white nationalism
Oh sorry, thought you mean Cpt Tom was a cult.

Apologies.

Well naturally this guy has had quite a lot of black lash.

I think it is part of a wider problem at the moment of going looking for discrimination in any way possible, and forcing it if it’s not there.

Not a surprise this guy is one of those “progressive” clergymen.

It’s one bellend on Twitter.
 
It is in this occasion but do you not see the societal issue with making everything racist?

I get what you are saying but twitter users and let’s face it some posters on here are not representative of society as a whole. Day to day I never hear these sort of discussions.

The comment in the council thread was laughably bad but outside of here I wouldn’t expect anyone I know to come up with such nonsense.

There is a price to pay for this internet lark we have to listen to people who are fucking idiots.

You are right but this guy did have some position of influence, he’s a clergyman in my church for crying out loud (not aiming that at you) and had a lot of followers.

Hopefully he loses that position for being a total moron.
 
You'r just as bad. Trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill to justify your own world view. You are choosing to see ghosts everywhere when there is nothing to see here.
