I'm not condoning what he has said, I haven't seen the tweets only heard what's been reported to have been said with some embellishments. However it begs the question is this response representative across the board on the subject of racist comments?

Jail for typing words on a screen is utterly ridiculous. The rest is basic "cancel culture". Plenty of people -celebs or otherwise- have lost jobs or platforms due to their big mouths.

As for loss of awards? Not entirely sure. At the back of my mind I feel like some rewards have been revoked? I don't know if it's par, people who tweet like that aren't usually award winners

i didn't see the content of the tweets, but if it was inciting violence then that's certainly a criminal offence. The rest of it is down to those that represent/employ him an gave him an award

Like K. Hopkins

Wiley permanently suspended by Twitter over anti-Semitism

["We are sorry we did not move faster," Twitter said in a statement.
The escalation comes a day after Facebook and Instagram deleted the music star's accounts for "repeated violations" of their rules.

Twitter said that it has taken a similar step
because the artist had broken its hateful conduct policy.]

Black people can be racist? As the Yanks so, go figure...

Are you suggesting that grime artists are inherently horrible people? That’s an odd take

Releasing grime music is the equivilant to running into a room to let out a horrific fart.

Right, you don’t like the music, but suggesting that the people who release it are bad people is, bizarre to say the least

I sometimes wonder if humans are just ****ing awful. I mean, there's mounting evidence. I'm not going to lie and pretend that historically, and in the west at least white people haven't done a lot of the horrible... but then, white people had the power to do so. Maybe humans are just generally despicable creatures and that comes out when we get a little power over others.

I'm not saying there aren't good people out there but as a group, we're honestly pretty grim.

[Ammi]

...I’m not sure if that collectively, people are pretty grim...Obviously there are pretty grim people out there but I think intrinsically people are good...the problem is...(...and we’ve discussed it oh so meant times before...)...that once something is put out there, it’s out there forever and will be forever recalled...even if that person has had personal growth and no longer has a specific mindset..../...or whatever reason things were put out there...

[Ammi]

...I’m not saying that I know anything about Stormzy’s views because I don’t...but I believe that Wiley’s comments are recent and Stormzy’s were quite some time ago when he was a lot younger and have been addressed and apologised for some time ago..?.../...I’m not sure...
