@augusteprompt I'm really sorry that happened to you. It happened to me too. I also got accused of racism when I went back to work, for simply describing the muggers as black.
r/ukdrill is incredible. The users there have a Wiki-level knowledge of every gang in Britain and whenever anyone is murdered will write threads about everyone involved and their motivations. Go there after a stabbing and you get a completely different causal picture from the BBC
@fanofnicethings The DEI department has rebranded as "People Transformation" somewhere I'm privy to quite recently.
They know things are changing and it's trying to shapeshift while maintaining the same ideology.
The core part of the Henry Nowak murder (the part we must not forget and must seriously engage with) is that his killer and family instinctively thought to fabricate a racism narrative because they knew it would give them an immediate advantage and invert the roles at the scene. And it worked exactly as calculated.
It has struck a raw nerve because it makes visible in the most repulsive way imaginable what many have long sensed, that accusations of racism have become a powerful, paralysing force in modern Britain eventually leading to a dying boy being sidelined while the system instinctively prioritised accusations of racism.
I will take no lectures about being angry and full of rage from the very same people who lost their shit in 2020 over a convicted criminal at the other side of the world.
Who can forget the “mostly peaceful” George Floyd riots?
@godblesstoto I would imagine he's been using that as a defence for literally everything since he was at school and that it proved so effective that he thought it would allow him to get away with murder.
