Rayvin 5295 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 I think coloured has negative connotations. Also, women of colour emphasises their humanity first and their colour second. Â Just a guess tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31195 Posted August 9, 2018 Share Posted August 9, 2018 Doesn’t people of colour include all non-white colours while coloured was generally just used to refer to black?  Fucking honkies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5295 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Yeah maybe the defamation stuff, but i think the interesting bit is that they all clearly spoke to each other, or were told to act. Â The right wingers seem to be getting ready to capitalise by painting Jones as a martyr. It'll be interesting to see what happens next. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ewerk 31195 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 It’s not Twitter’s responsibility to hold him to account. It’s of independent journalists who can retort his lies after they’ve been seen 100,000s of times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adios 717 Posted August 10, 2018 Share Posted August 10, 2018 Given that that's not happening/working, don't companies like Twitter hold some responsibility to crack down on his bullshit? Â I mean in an ideal world we allow people to say whatever they want but that's not where we live. Â If new media is creating a huge shitstorm with very real-world consequences, we probably need to fight it where we can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewerk 31195 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Of course it’s Twitter’s responsibility. It’s a complete cop out from them. But they’ve never really been ahead of the curve when it comes to blocking offensive content. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 10963 Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 Is this not a leaf on the same branch as the tv shows having a climatologist who's studied climate science for years, dedicated their career to the investigation of the planet's climate, who's literally written the book on climate change, and then some home-schooled, howl at the moon, youtube conspiracy nut climate change denier, y'know, for balance?

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 Just stumbled across a tweet from Mr money moustache because someone I follow liked it. @Gemmill's life coach wasn't he? Bet he didn't delay his retirement with Italy trips though. You still being thrifty? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 46027 Posted August 15, 2018 Share Posted August 15, 2018 He's a good lad. Not so much being thrifty, just not wasting money on stupid shit that I don't need. I'm probably not as strict as I was but I've cut out a lot of daft shit, aye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
