British comedian cancelled for saying black footballers are bad at shooting penalties. [I Hate Censorship]

@JonLosAngeles66 yeah we should point and laugh at the guy with the dark skin...what the fk is going on in the world?

@JonLosAngeles66 He is pointing out facts. The whole world saw what happened on Sunday.

Would you criticise someone for saying that whites are not good at sprint races? It is as racist as what Andrew Lawrence said.

@Cierzo You're not answering his question.

How do you feel about the african players being harassed? Is that appropriate in the west and less deserving of outrage?

@Miram This issue is irrelevant to my post. Mr.Lawrence was not harassing anyone. He just stated a fact and gave his opinion, in this case a criticism. Is criticism the same as harassing?

@Cierzo

It is the context of him being dropped by his agent.

The players were harassed and his comments were aimed at ALL black players, suggesting that skin color had to do with their performance. Yes, it is harassment and objectification, narrowing them down to a skin color.

He added "‘Equality, diversity, s*** penalties.’ " Pretty much set himself to the reaction he got.

@Cierzo

Since you refuse to answer the question, I will do with my assumptions about you. You had your chance.

@Miram It would be very easy to point out some example of a penalty shootout where blacks scored and whites failed. I am sure there must be plenyy of them. But it is easier to whine about racism, and use emotions rather than arguments.

@Cierzo

Reacting to racism and denouncing it is a moral obligation. It's a strong argument no matter how much you'd like to downplay it as just feelings.

You and @Mugin16 were so quick to suggest it was comedy but when I checked the tweets, they weren't made as humor at all. They were serious statements.

Both of you should be honest with yourselves before jumping in to whine about imaginary wrongs just because you can relate to someone through again SKIN color.

@Cierzo Or is it that the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

@Miram Reacting to racism is as much a moral obligation as reacting to being cancelled because of your opinions.

Yes, he made serious statements. Statements that can be wrong. But nobody has pointed out counterexamples showing they are.

@Cierzo Yeah, this too is so right. Apparently besides being a racist person which you feel you need to defend, he finds no trouble encouraging suicide

@Cierzo [quote] Statements that can be wrong.[/quote]

So you agree with him?

@Miram He is encouraging suicide??😳 Do you know what irony is?

@Cierzo It's you not understanding that he doesn't get to tell ALL feminists to kill themselves while mentioning suicide rates as if you cared about the issue.

So do you agree with his statements? Both saying that feminists should kill themselves to fight for equality, and the tweets relating skin color to soccer performance+ dissing equality as a value.

@Miram I think it is obvious that his point is that there is not enough talk about how a big social issue suicide is since most of the suicidals are men.

Of course I do not think feminists should kill themselves, and neither does he.

@Cierzo
[b]If feminists truly wanted equality they'd kill themselves[/b]

No, he didn't say there should be more talk about men's suicide rate, he said feminists should kill themselves if they wanted equality.

Not only it is very disgusting to encourage suicide, defend it, and twist that statement to defend it.. but the fact that anyone'd assume feminists are all WOMEN and there are no feminist men who are themselves exposed to the same rate..That my dude is very stupid.

You can talk about suicide rates without suggesting that feminists should kill themselves, dehumanizing them and then denying that the statement was made.
