So I have Twitter to follow my favorite D&D and magic the gathering youtubers.
maybe one day I promote myself more but for now I am just enjoying others.
1/ EFF must be held responsible for damage caused to Clicks stores.
@Clicks_SA has disappointed and offended many South Africans by using a racist advertisement about black peoples hair, so we welcome their unequivocal apology.

@Queengugz@SA_for_life@RamaboduObakeng This is the one part I disagree with. No matter what the seniors do there is no excuse to hurt staff. Only the people commiting the acts of violence are responsible and must go to jail. Unless one is defend oneself against an attacker trying to bodily harm them there is no excuse
@Queengugz@SA_for_life@RamaboduObakeng I hope that it's not the EFF and just some odd violent people in the group. Never say never, these things take time and just look how far and slowly progress in other matters like woman's rights have come. Honestly talking to you has made me feel and understand better.
@Queengugz@SA_for_life@RamaboduObakeng Besides racism, I think that there are many body image problems in media. That's why I looked at this article. I just wish things would be handled peacefully and lawfully. I sometimes think that the EFF wants to make everyone remember how they were hurt so they can't heal
@SA_for_life@Queengugz@RamaboduObakeng I saw that. It makes me so sad and so angry. I was naive when I first tweeted on this thread. Thought mediation was needed now I see they just want blood they don't care from who or why.
@Queengugz@SA_for_life@RamaboduObakeng I am sorry I did take it to extremes (it is the same type of thinking), but it is besides the point. We don't know who made the advert and innocent store workers are being made to suffer. Clicks is probably in a contract breaking that will cost them money and others their jobs.
@Queengugz@SA_for_life@RamaboduObakeng That's like saying a black man won't kill another black man or rape a black woman or steal from someone in the township because he's black. These things happen we live in a cruel world. I believe in court justice not burning down stores and scaring innocent employees.
@LisaMini_cpt@RamaboduObakeng Freedom of speech. At least I know how to express myself, you don't even know how to hold a debt. So go back to your room and think about what your doing with your life.
@Queengugz@RamaboduObakeng We don't even know who made the mistake. It could be a black man. I don't know who signed off on it, they could have had a bad day, kept up all night by a baby or something and made an honest mistake, to loose the job instead of being given a chance to fix it seems harsh to me.
@AyandaMpili@RamaboduObakeng Yes, now you mention it I see this is a popular theme in media. I watched a romcom can't remember the name where the main actress (black lady) struggled to be "perfect".they partially portrayed this by her straightening her hair. In the end she found herself, bliss had curly hair
@Queengugz@RamaboduObakeng Also I agree, the advert fails. I just can see how someone could make the mistake honestly not see a racial at first glance. There is a problem besides racism called colour blindness (not the red green kind; seeing no difference between races) it's very interesting. Look into it.
@Queengugz@RamaboduObakeng I don't think that they intended it to be a comparison but rather categories. It's not shown in this picture but there is also a photo for dyed hair. I saw it in the news article.
@realDonaldTrump How is South Africa one of the richest countries in the world? Our government is drowning in debt, we're paying tax through our noses, fighting stupid bills and terrible plans left right and centre and you do this to us now!
@mattcolville@autoferrit@matthewmercer I guess, but not hearing voices in your head would make it difficult for demons to tell you what to do. Maybe your hands would just move on your own. :P also I am over simplifying due to character limits and fun.
