Meant to address this point as well. I do not suffer from "white guilt". I had nothing to do with the slave trade nor the oppression of any other races so I have nothing to feel guilty about. What I do have is empathy for fellow human beings who suffer injustice or hatred simply because of the colour of their skin. I don't feel bad about the life I lead as I try my best to treat everyone equally with respect. I would hope that when I see injustice or hate that I challenge it and call it out for what it is. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gettafa Posted June 5, 2020 Share Posted June 5, 2020 (edited) 41 minutes ago, John Wright said: The word is EQUALITY. It includes opposition to all the isms and phobias against minorities. over the years I’ve represented ( as duty advocate ) more than one Manx person on public order offences where they’ve screamed at South African whites for being here and taking “our” jobs. 'Equality' is so very, very subjective. It's as nebulous as life itself. For example, there are eloquent and convincing arguments for Universal Basic Income - now that is equality right across the board. And yes, that will entirely envelope the issue at hand. Not many people - John Wright included I am sure - would want that sort of equality. Edited June 5, 2020 by gettafa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We" were as much a part of it as those who benefitted directly from slave labour. It's not called slavery anymore - it's called National Minimum Wage. And it doesn't care what colour or race you are - so there's progress for you! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are Manx Radio censoring the conversation? Because the matter is under inquiry, and you know it. This whole Stu Peters thing is crazy. Please consider some of the outrageous things that a person could have said on air. Think about that. Someone has considered whatever was said by Stu Peters as 'yep, that'll do - Gotcha' and the word has gone out: hang, draw and quarter him, guilty until proven guilty, let's have a Facebook fest and a party.

Started by the British and delivered. Read up on William Wilberforce, he and the abolition of slavery used to be taught even in some primary schools before the Snowflake English hating teachers arrived and concentrated on creating a feeling of totally unjustified guilt in life who have taken that nonsense into today. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're crackers. No one is asking you to feel guilty, all you're being asked to do is acknowledge that some people have a harder time than you or I due to their skin colour, not be a racist, and not to be a dick. 3 really simple things that are absolutely no hardship whatsoever. Only one snowflake here pal. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably, but justified discrimination is based on different evolutionary paths taken by different races. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
