Hymie – Outed As A Racist

[Hymie]

ynnafymmi said //Hymie has been outed as a racist in the past....//

Despite asking for examples of my racist post(s), as yet no-one has given a single example, not even ynnafymmi.

In one of my recent post I wrote ‘Britain’s involvement in the slave trade is certainly a shameful part of our history......certainly we should offer an unreserved apology for our involvement in the slave trade.’
I doubt many racists would agree with this; in fact one ABer (presumably not a racist) rubbished the above.

I’m thinking of offering a prize to anyone who can produce a racist post from me.

Hmmmmm
A word that is bandied about and used inappropriately too often by those who are hard of understanding and I am accusing no one.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^


meant to add. I wouldn't worry about it unduly.

Why are you making a meal of it?

I get called things all the time that are not true, its an anonymous social media site - just let it go. You know the truth and that is all that matters.

[Hymie]

I’m not that bothered about it, after all who knows who I really am.

But when people post nonsense, expect me to call it out.

//But when people post nonsense, expect me to call it out.//

Well that happens most times time here. I used to call it out as well but they usually deleted my answer or suspended me for two years +
Just can't be bothered any more.

[youngmafbog]

Exactly right Retro.

Welcome to the club Hymie, some of us have had this for years, you can take that from a racists, homophobic, xenophobic, swivel eyed loon (Amongst many other things). Its funny, just laugh at the plonker saying it.

hymie: "But when people post nonsense, expect me to call it out." - I nearly wet myself when I read that! most of your posts are nonsense 5C propaganda videos etc.

[10ClarionSt]

Absolutely nothing to do with the OP, TTT. ^^^^

[ToraToraTora]

10cs neither is 90% of AB we respond to the posts that occur.

[youngmafbog]

Your in the club too TTT. Probably been called even more than I have!

I'm not going to apologise for something I never did, and no members of my family had no involvement with.

[anneasquith]

In fairness H, you shouldn’t take anything yanni says as anything but nonsense.

[retrocop]

100% agree with that Webbo

//I'm not going to apologise for something I never did, and no members of my family had no involvement with.//

[ToraToraTora]

yep YMB, if you ain't getting slated then you ain't annoying the TROBbers enough!

[Spungle]

Which slaves are you thinking of apologising to, out of interest, Hymie?

[youngmafbog]

Maybe the East Europeans in his local rub and tug shop?

Pointless apologising for those over a hundred years ago. Although maybe Hymie is Roman and wants to apologise to us English?

[naomi24]

Just out of interest did anyone ever seek apologies from the African tribes and the Arabs involved in capturing and selling slaves to a wider market?

[retrocop]

Any relatives seek compensayshun for all those British sailors who died on active service whilst on service in the Caribbean Station Royal Navy anti slaving blockade ships. There are cemetery's all over the caribbean islands where they lay. RIP

[jourdain2]

Then of course there are the Barbary pirates who enslaved thousands of white europeans.....
This is all very silly. So far as I can make out most of my family were toiling in farming or being 'white slaves' in the mills. I know my Gt. Grandad's brother walked from Knaresborough to Sheffield in search of work in the steel mills.
Why on earth should I apologise to anyone for the actions of people born generations before me? It's nonsensical and I certainly won't. I'm proud that we stopped it.

it's great to inherit wealth from your forebears but outrageous to suggest you might ask about where it came from. People are proud of the achievements of the British empire, but it was built on slavery.
