News the alleged “racial slur” used by @samkerr1 towards a British police officer causing a charge of racial vilification was “stupid white bastard” is outrageous, despicable and frankly unbelievable on many levels.
Firstly, any police officer worthy of the name who’s unable to deal with the vulnerability of human beings when they’re tired, emotional and under stress to the point that a comment like that could cause hurt or distress shouldn’t be in the fucking job.
Secondly, the fact it’s taken British prosecutors more than a year to even decide what to charge her for when the case apparently involves nothing but that one alleged comment means this case is (as we suspected as soon as we heard of it) nothing but a group of pale, stale males deciding to hurt and take down a successful, powerful black woman.
The racism (and the equally if not more disgusting misogyny) is all on THEIR side of the equation, not on Sam’s.
But thirdly and most importantly, the reason this case is so horrifically unjust is that there is no such thing as “reverse racism” (that is, racism towards a white person). It literally DOES NOT EXIST.
Why? Because racism by definition is the systemic, organised harm caused to a group of brown or black people for decades or centuries. Just as sexism is systemic, organised harm caused to women. The nature of oppression simply doesn’t work in reverse. It can’t. You can’t vilify or harm a white person or group of white people by using “white” slurs because there’s no history of the sustained, organised and planned harm of white people by black people.
There are reams and reams of scholarly papers and research on this. It’s not something we just made up. It’s well known racism towards whites just isn’t real. It can’t be real. The definitions don’t work. This is why a racial charge by a white police officer towards an Indigenous woman must not be permitted to stand: the concepts being argued simply don’t exist as genuine or arguable matters.
If you don’t believe us about reverse racism (and we never fail to be gob-smacked about how many white people still refuse to acknowledge that reverse racism is a stupid, made-up furphy which IS IN ITSELF RACIST because it’s the way white people gaslight and victim-blame those they repeatedly harm), listen to the master on this subject, @aamer_rahman. His short but still unerringly brilliant 2013 comedy routine on this should be played in court for all the stupid white bastards now displaying their racism towards Kerr by even bringing this bullshit charge in the first place.
If you don’t understand this (and even if you do), please take the time to watch:

And unless there are other matters involved in this charge of Kerr which haven’t yet come to light, this case appears to be the biggest crock of shit we’ve ever fucking heard.
Leave Sam Kerr alone you pack of bastards. Throw the case out of court and apologise. And yes, those British police and prosecutors ALL appear to be a pack of #StupidWhiteBastards and none of us should hesitate to call them that at every coming opportunity.
See how they like THOSE fucking apples.

@KLaw95490887@iconicjuddy @Morbidful Uh huh 🤔 cool story, bro. Legit citation please, or you’re just another dimwit throwing the woke card about like you understand what you’re even mad about.
A British writer penned the best description of Donald Trump I’ve ever read:
“Why do some British people not like Donald Trump?”
A few things spring to mind. Trump lacks certain qualities which the British traditionally esteem. For instance, he has no class, no charm, no coolness, no credibility, no compassion, no wit, no warmth, no wisdom, no subtlety, no sensitivity, no self-awareness, no humility, no honour and no grace – all qualities, funnily enough, with which his predecessor Mr. Obama was generously blessed. So for us, the stark contrast does rather throw Trump’s limitations into embarrassingly sharp relief.
Plus, we like a laugh. And while Trump may be laughable, he has never once said anything wry, witty or even faintly amusing – not once, ever. I don’t say that rhetorically, I mean it quite literally: not once, not ever. And that fact is particularly disturbing to the British sensibility – for us, to lack humour is almost inhuman. But with Trump, it’s a fact. He doesn’t even seem to understand what a joke is – his idea of a joke is a crass comment, an illiterate insult, a casual act of cruelty.
Trump is a troll. And like all trolls, he is never funny and he never laughs; he only crows or jeers. And scarily, he doesn’t just talk in crude, witless insults – he actually thinks in them. His mind is a simple bot-like algorithm of petty prejudices and knee-jerk nastiness.
There is never any under-layer of irony, complexity, nuance or depth. It’s all surface. Some Americans might see this as refreshingly upfront. Well, we don’t. We see it as having no inner world, no soul. And in Britain we traditionally side with David, not Goliath. All our heroes are plucky underdogs: Robin Hood, Dick Whittington, Oliver Twist. Trump is neither plucky, nor an underdog. He is the exact opposite of that. He’s not even a spoiled rich-boy, or a greedy fat-cat. He’s more a fat white slug. A Jabba the Hutt of privilege.
And worse, he is that most unforgivable of all things to the British: a bully. That is, except when he is among bullies; then he suddenly transforms into a snivelling sidekick instead. There are unspoken rules to this stuff – the Queensberry rules of basic decency – and he breaks them all. He punches downwards – which a gentleman should, would, could never do – and every blow he aims is below the belt. He particularly likes to kick the vulnerable or voiceless – and he kicks them when they are down.
So the fact that a significant minority – perhaps a third – of Americans look at what he does, listen to what he says, and then think ‘Yeah, he seems like my kind of guy’ is a matter of some confusion and no little distress to British people, given that:
• Americans are supposed to be nicer than us, and mostly are.
• You don’t need a particularly keen eye for detail to spot a few flaws in the man.
This last point is what especially confuses and dismays British people, and many other people too; his faults seem pretty bloody hard to miss. After all, it’s impossible to read a single tweet, or hear him speak a sentence or two, without staring deep into the abyss. He turns being artless into an art form; he is a Picasso of pettiness; a Shakespeare of shit. His faults are fractal: even his flaws have flaws, and so on ad infinitum. God knows there have always been stupid people in the world, and plenty of nasty people too. But rarely has stupidity been so nasty, or nastiness so stupid. He makes Nixon look trustworthy and George W look smart. In fact, if Frankenstein decided to make a monster assembled entirely from human flaws – he would make a Trump.
And a remorseful Doctor Frankenstein would clutch out big clumpfuls of hair and scream in anguish: ‘My God… what… have… I… created?' If being a twat was a TV show, Trump would be the boxed set.”

@EdKrassen That bloke has just has a TIA for sure. The right hand side of his face absolutely froze up. I may not care for this guy but that's hard to watch.
