Sam Kerr

People are just saying "I'd get in trouble for calling someone stupid and black" and providing no further context on why and where they'd want to say it. So it's difficult to give an answer on what would happen to them.

The reason people feel like they would 100% be prosecuted for calling someone "stupid and black" is because it's impossible for them to conceive of a situation where it isn't obviously racist to say it. And that's probably because they're a white person and haven't grown up under an instutionally racist police force where black people are in charge. If you want to reverse the roles then you have to reverse everything that comes with it.

So rules are to be interpreted differently according to what skin colour you are then? Makes perfect sense, not.

I mean you've demonstrated how limited your critical thinking skills are perfectly across your last two posts so I wouldn't expect much to make sense to you.

Well I'm white so I can't really think of a situation where the tables are turned like that. I haven't really experienced black people holding power over me in that way.

Guess the closest comparison for me, as a woman, would be saying something like "why are you being such a man about things?" to a man if he were behaving like a condescending pig towards me or something. Obvs it's not all men but it's describing a recognisable behaviour all women get from some men. As an aside I think a lot of how the whole shit show around Sam Kerr has panned out is as much about sexism as it is about racim. I don't think she'd have been driven to the police station in the first place if she'd been a man, I don't think she'd have been wondering about being abducted if she were a man and I don't think she'd have been provoked or dismissed in the same way in the station if she'd been a man. None of this excuses her shitty behaviour, but it's interesting to observe how and why but escalated like it did.

You’ve fluffed that up to death but bottom line is you can’t give a single example of what I asked for.

Because there isn’t one.

I'd already said there isn't an example where it would be OK the other way around before you asked. That's why I asked the "if I said it..." crew to name to explain a situation where they would feel the need to say it. There is no comparable situation the other way around because systemic racism is something white people have enforced on other people.

Actually, it was the Black Panthers, essentially a terrorist organization, who started the whole, "Only white people can be racist." You are blessed to live in one of the best and most just nations on this earth. If you choose to judge it this way that's on you.

And, not that it is any of your business, I'm mixed race. I don't go around judging everything through the prism of racism and bigotry and trying to find a way for me to be a victim in every situation where I do not get my way.

So if it, as you say, wouldn’t be alright - why has Kerr not been found guilty?

Good post. Some of these guys show how easy it is be groomed by an ideology.
The actor Morgan Freeman fell out with these race zealots a few years ago when he failed to support a "Black American History" week. His argument, which makes perfect sense, was that he is not a "Black American" he is an "American" and any "Black American History" is just part of "American History".
