Whilst I don’t agree with censorship as such, I do think that people do have to be careful with words. Words carry weight. Words can make us think or make laugh/cry.
People with a big platform do have to understand how people will take their words.
So, whilst you shouldn’t take full responsibly for another’s actions, you should be tactful/respectful/honest in what you put out to the public.
Trump has a habit of pulling people down with inaccuracies, people that he doesn’t agree with. The Mayor of London states something about a British issue in America and next we hear is that he is doing a rubbish job and he’s responsible for ‘rivers of blood’ in London....
How does that look? That England is a scary place to live. Fact is, there is some violence, of course, but nothing like what is displayed by Trump’s words...
Call out Mexicans and blame them for taking US jobs just leads to hate of those people and holding them to task for unemployment.
Fact is, we had a little taste of that with the influx of Eastern European’s in the uk....a minority slagged them off for taking British jobs, yet these were menial jobs that those self-same brits turned their noses up at! Someone has to do these jobs and, to their credit, these overseas immigrants came and did them!
Trump never tends to think of the implications of his words and his actions.....
...and that is sad...
