Bristol Post names and shames disgusting online trolls

[BuzzShitbagBobbly]

I say well done - these are grown, adult men who knew full well what they were doing; and their online trolling has come back to bite them on the bum. Maybe it will shame them into changing their behaviour in future.

I found several of them on FB (their names + "Bristol" seem to be prominent in the search!). They seem to have women and girls in their lives, plus several are fathers too. The article especially comments on one man who had set his profile picture with a "Be Kind" frame!

Thats structural racism, LegoBloc. Go have a skeg throughout Europe and Asia, it'll be an eye opener.

But no, gammon is not racist, there are plenty of black gammons

Im really shocked by Stevie on the bottom left..........

Ashkenazi and sephardi jews are very much a race and an ethnic group. It has nothing to do with borders.

Patroclus Thank you! I had been taught ( I grew up in the 80s) that any prejudice towards someone on racial grounds is classed as racism and I was taught as a child to avoid being unkind to anyone about their race in any way shape or form. All racism is wrong. Where I live I hear awful things being said to the Irish travellers and east europeans around me. I think it must be very small comfort for them that they shoudl be grateful they are not suffering for being black. In the past, in Britain, Asians were targeted badly for racism, after 9/11 it was Middle Easterners, nowadays Irish and East Europeans seem to be the national scapegoats (where I live anyway). Not saying that Asians or MEs don't still suffer. I just think that EE, irish etc could probably claim (in my area, post Brexit) to be suffering in a similar way that Ugandan Asians did in the 70s, or Blacks in the 50s etc..

I also think Greta T suffers as much as any BAME person for being neurodivergent. As a disabled person myself I see this a lot. We all have problems and all of them deserve taking seriously and validating. we all are important.

Have a chat with some POC. I'm Ashkenazi Jewish, from Eastern Europe, so please don't try to explain that to me. White skin in a privilege that cannot be undone by so-called racism. Have a 'skeg' at this www.aclrc.com/myth-of-reverse-racism

I don't really understand why Guinea has gone off on a tangent about LGBT and poor people, when we're clearly discussing race. Intersectionality exists, but racism doesn't pertain to other forms of inequality, so it's rather a dead end.

It's fucking superb to draw an analogy between being BAME and having cancer though, I'll give you that. Of COURSE your though on racism are less important because you cannot experience it. Are you telling me that you think your Jewish heritage means you can compare racism stories and with a Black woman?!?

I also think Greta T suffers as much as any BAME person for being neurodivergent.

Suffering X does not make it the same as Y. And as a BAME person, you are not qualified to make this assertion.

Non-BAME*

I’ve yet to see a Jewish person being followed round Asda by a store detective, just because they’re Jewish...

Maybe I could compare stories with a black woman or black man. I don't know. I don't really see why it a problem to discuss racism experiences with anyone. Most likely they would empathise with me and me with them? If they didn't, it wouldn't bother me so much. I do agree white skin is a privelege re; structural racism but not all racism is structural. doesn't mean it insignificant. anyway, I've said my opinion, you are entitled to yours. No biggie. Have a good night.

CommunistLegoBloc You are not BAME either, your heritage is just like mine. So I don't know why you are so sure your opinion is the correct one?

But you're not Jewish and you're white. You're a church-going Christian. You said earlier 'what about the Jews and the travelers' which I conceded was a less clear area but an issue that could be deconstructed to support my overall point. You claimed to occupy one of those identities so could experience racism. You have now expanded that to ALL white people can experience racism. Talk about moving the goal posts. Anyway, this is clearly not quite getting through to you so I'll leave you to your very clear prejudices :)

You go to church 🤯 your experience in life is not mine! Bloody hell.

Gilead I agree with you re: store detective . But just because racism takes different forms for different ethnic groups does not make it any less racism. Like I said, it isn't a competition.

Ok, so I agree disability isn't same thing as race. But am saying that prejudice is prejudice re: whetehr it is on grounds of race or disability or class or anything, really.

If a child at school is bullied for their hair colour, you don't tell them" suck it up, buttercup. It not racism, so it doesn't matter." I just think we all have different hardships in life and no one has it easy. Caroline Flack wasn't any kind of minority and she was so sad she killed herself. It just shows that we all need to be kind to one another regardless of our differences.

Why has the definition of racism changed and does it even matter whetehr we use the word racism pr xenophobia? if a black person is uanable to find a job because of their colour, and an Estern European perosn is unable to find a job because of their nationality, the effect is the same, surely???

I wa born Jewish and I converted CommunistLegoBloc So am ethnicaly and racialy Jewish, I did not say my experiences were the same I said my ethnicity was the same.....

It may be you get more racism than me due to being a practicing Jew, as opposed to me being Messianic or Jewish Christian, maybe. I dont get much racism per se. But I don't know how much racism you get.... I have not claimed any identity for myself. I am Jewish. I just havent experienced the racism previous generations in my family did.

And no, no one would know I was Jewish if i didn't tell them. that is probably the same for most Jews though, Unless Charedi.

am done with this thread. It is a debate. opinion.

You don't get any racism. I don't get any racism. Night!

I was trying to say that BOTH you and I are non-BAMEs Communist LegoBloc. I don't doubt that you may experinece racism on a daily basis, but I can't assume either way. I just want to know how do you know what BAME people experience???

I just don't get why white people are so keen to assume they know how it feels to be BAME? to have brown skin or yellowy tone skin?

Am looking forward to a true BAME person to come on here and explain about structured racism. Because I know nothing about experiencing it and would be interested in knowing some more about it. But I would rather here from someone who has lived it.

Because I actually listen. Did you read the article and its associate links by the ACLU? Have you noted the objections to Black Lives Matter from furious white people squawking All Lives Matter and how it's reverse racism, and utterly missing the point? Have a little Google and stop relying on your own wild thinking which has led you down quite a few irrelevant paths on this thread alone.

Don't expect someone to come and explain their experiences to someone as hostile to them as you, who thinks their white experience is comparable. Educate yourself. Don't expect someone else to do it for you.

@CommunistLegoBloc

You cannot be racist to a white person

This is patently untrue. I experienced casual and targeted racism when I lived abroad in a country that is notoriously racist.
