The Witch Hunt Continues

Another cricketer who had teenage twitter problems.
The stupid thing is, this sort of historical (and hysterical) "crusade" will actually make the situation worse as racists stir up an inevitable backlash (as exampled on this forum).
Racism will be defeated by education, not ramming age-old transgressions down everyone's throat.

It’s not there forever tho is it: tweets can be deleted.
It’s rather difficult to say too much without seeing what had actually been posted but Robinson was an adult when he posted those things: if at the end if this he really is permanently disowned then of course that works be unacceptable: but he’s Jeremy suspended pending investigation. I don’t think that is unreasonable as far as it goes and to be honest while it they have been well meaning, I don’t think the comments by the culture secretary or the PM are helpful.
Any more so than the pretty outrageous comments by some Tory MPs about the England team and knee taking

If somebody expresses racist views in the past, on social media, in an account that's clearly identified as being them, then if you employ those people, as the ECB does, ...
You should ask if they still hold those views
What evidence there is that they have changed those views
Why they haven't deleted those past views (if possible)
Whether there's anything else you haven't uncovered
Employing people whose only expressed views on race are racist, to work alongside people (e.g. black members of the England cricket squad), is bound to be of interest to an employer like the ECB.

How exactly do you "prove" you don't have racist views ellipsis? The best anyone can do is to show that the offending posts were a one off and be open with your social media history. I still think that a public apology and a suspended ban (pending that no further offensive social media entries are made) is a sufficient penalty.
I wonder how many other celebrities are crapping themselves about their archaic tweets right now?

First of all, if asked if he still holds 'racist views', what do you think Mr Robinson is going to say?
Yes I do / No I don't / I don't know.
What evidence there is that he has changed those views?
I never held those views in the first place / I haven't changed my views at all, even though they weren;t my views, I was too immature to actually have a view / I haven't changed my views, I hate black people, live with it.
Why he hasn't deleted those past views (if possible)
Can you remember an offensive joke you told ten years ago? Nor me / I didn't imagine in a free society than a day would ever dawn where I would be made to explain something I wrote as a teanger / I forgot all about it.
// Whether there's anything else you haven't uncovered //
I had forgotten about this, so I am unlikely to remember anything else from ten years ago / If there is it comes under the same catagory - stupid behaviour from a stupid youth since grown out of /I have no idea it was ten years ago, if it matters that much, go a-trawling and let me know what you find.
You are doing a fine job of exposing just how ridiculous this 'investigation' is - and the people who are daft enough to be doing it.
