'But...'

As in, 'What happened to George Floyd was terrible BUT...' or 'I agree BUT...'

'My friend/cousin/colleague etc is BAME and she thinks...' (it's gone too far/racism doesn't exist etc)

ComDummings · 17/06/2020 19:45

You’re a TERF

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 17/06/2020 19:45

You're overreacting.

You're just looking for things to be offended about.
Professionally offended.

A guy I knew at college had a really fractious family. When things got heated at Sunday lunch his uncle used to cut in with: "But Elvis is still King!"

[Enter catastrophic handling of any situation e.g. pandemic] Well Jeremy Corbyn would have handled it worse

Variations on 'You don't know what you're talking about', usually based on false assumptions. Like -

-You don't know what it's like to be an immigrant because you married someone so got your visa easily
-You are just joining a bandwagon you heard about & have nothing original to say or first hand experience

nevernotstruggling · 17/06/2020 19:51

@lljkk bandwagon!!!

Alright Karen

LaughingDonkey · 17/06/2020 19:52

Agree to disagree

David Cameron shut down debate about anything to do with carers or respite or opportunities etc for anyone with a disability or by bringing up that he had a disabled child himself so he understood and nobody needed to tell him about it. Well, yes he did, and obviously faced challenges, worry and sadness, but Cameron’s experience of caring for his disabled child with the privileges he had, was very different to others’.

MyGhastIsFlabbered · 17/06/2020 19:55

All lives matter

Mumratheevergiving · 17/06/2020 19:55

And how could we forget ‘MOVE ON’ parroted loudly by the whole Conservative Government when they’d heard quite enough from the proles about Cummings misadventures.

We won't discuss it, discussing it will validate their opinion.
