I was lucky to be at the Semi and Final at Wembley. Im not going to go into deep details , but consoling your little cousin who’s in tears and then hearing “****ing blacks let us down” etc from fully grown men and seeing all the random violence towards random black people was heart breaking to say the least. My post hasn’t come from nowhere.

…obviously I’m sorry that you experience these things yourself but I’m so sorry that your little cousin has also and that this was a part of his experience of watching his heroes play…these prejudices and discriminations are something that our children should not be still going through ….

Good news

Crimson Dynamo 14-07-2021 12:33 PM

Problem was that the Insta ones only got like 4 likes but then people copied it to then post "racist England" and these posts got thousands of likes and so it multiplied

Its almost like dream marketing technique but negative wise

and of course all sanctioned by the Platform

Crimson Dynamo 14-07-2021 12:34 PM

and i am not sure what the law would say about you using genuine emojis that the platform give you

Insta have said there is nowt wrong with using the monkey emoji

Platforms aren't the problem. Iin fact, in the past when I've criticised big corporations for not paying taxes, you've referred to them as job creators.

Do you think TIBB should be accountable for the constant racism on here, or is it the job of the people proudly declaring themselves alt-right, to not be racist?

Anyone could have guessed what would happen as soon as England lost. I hate the England fans and the wankery that goes along with them. We'd never see that with the cricket or rugby teams. I'm not saying that they would never be subjected to racism, because whilst proud alt-right folks exist, so will the bile they spread, but nowhere near the levels that not only is expected with the England football team, but also defended and attempted to move the blame from the racists to twitter or insta.

And there's nothing wrong with the emojis either. just more shifting of blame. No one has asked them to remove the aubergine in case it's used in grooming. Inane and stupid reasoning.

You're also doing that thing that bigots do where they expect people to be tolerant of their intolerance and act like people are being hypocritical if they aren't accepting of that bigotry. Again, more mediocrity, this time it's mediocre gaslighting.

What i was thinking as well

As inclusive as the Ingurlund fans I've seen singing that they hate scousers during the tournament.

Everyone should have a right to be on platforms as long as they abide by the platform rules not to be personally abused, you won't change some mindsets where attacking someone is their only way of out of their miserable lives, the platforms whoever they may be have to put safeguards in place again any abuse whether it be racist or personal to stop the abusers in their tracks

Cherie 14-07-2021 02:59 PM

In addition someone phoned into LBC this morning to say she and friends reported the posts on Insta and got messages back saying they were too busy to look at the offending posts

Users reporting posts for "hate speech or symbols" are shown a message warning that it may not be possible to review and remove the content.

Twitter previously tried to ban white supremacists, but unfortunately republican politicians were getting flagged for posting the same/similar content, so in order to avoid the cries of conservatives being cancelled, they were scared away from following through.

…just looking at the bib of your post and re-posting Leon and his little cousin’s personal experiences of racist language and behaviour…

…as you also said, Slim….this is not a political, it’s a human concern and it and the reality of some people’s experiences like Leon’s can only be addressed when they’re looked square in the face at what they are, when racism is recognised and labelled for what it is and not sidetracked or side stepped or diverted or etc …when racism itself is recognised as the issue and what some face on a ‘daily basis’ ….

Cherie 14-07-2021 05:25 PM

The OP is about online racism

FA said it was "appalled" by the "online racism" of the three players following the defeat at Wembley.

Nor sure why the platforms are getting a pass 5 pages in

The accounts are still active 3 days later btw

By that logic no one would ever be banned off TiBB, TiBB takes action on reported posts

Fair comparison, TiBB also allows racist posts to remain.
