According to LeatherTrumpet black people reacting to racism makes them snowflakes. I bet people who protested against slavery were snowflakes and all.

Caucasian central trolls can bait away about random stuff but racism's in a different league. There's a thing called boundaries. Fool.

Peter Fonda is in much more trouble today, for a tweet calling for Trumps young son Barron to be kidnapped and locked in a cage with paedophiles. Apparently Melania contacted secret service.

I love how it keeps being thrown into the face of "millennials" and the "young 'uns" that they're "snowflakes" or whatever, when a lot of the people online who originally called out the racist tweet for being racist are actually from an older generation.

But, whatever makes you feel like you're in the right I guess.

Because by patronising the opinions of those opposed to regressive points, policies or reportage it's designed to denigrate their opinion as irrelevant.

Not by actually having a counter argument that is reasoned and well thought out ... just a nonsense word will suffice for many.

I think Clarkson should’ve got a 3 strikes and out policy.
For instance
He could’ve got away with a jab,right cross but just no left hook.

Lord Sugar made a joke and the PC brigade of today were shook to their very core at something that they don’t like. Lord Sugar has apologised so that should be the end of it.

Yes... it's the PC brigade who made him say something racist. Of course it is.
