To ask if there's something I'm missing about the allegedly "controversial" Diversity performance

GlummyMcGlummerson · 10/09/2020 22:42

Diversity performed on Britain's Got Talent, a performance which incorporated a message about BLM. Their performance, as usual, was incredible and sent out some great messages. The video is below.

It's had 10,000 complaints. Why?! am I missing something? Did someone's nipple pop out or something? What is the basis of people's complaints? The only reason I can think is that some people (probably because they're part of the problem) don't like it when others point out that there's racism in the world? Boo hoo to them

@wafflehartsnet and what would you suggest? Please, enlighten me in what you have done to educate yourself around the problematic racism in our country?

'I've asked MN what got me the deletion as I'm intrigued at the claim I'm using racial slurs in a post where I quoted a guardian article saying:'

But you added your own racial slur, stop being so disingenuous.

'better not use a naughty word in case that gets some posters' backs up'

A 'naughty' word. Right. Thats what we're calling it now is it? It was a racist word. Not just objecting to a dance as I've done, but actually insulting someone based on the colour of their skin. Educate yourself.

LolaSmiles · 17/09/2020 21:50

I genuinely can't recall what was a racial slur, which is exactly why I've messaged MN.

I thought they were brilliant!
I usually think Diversity are a bit shit, but that was really good. I wonder who writes the words?

Do you taunt all complaints about racism wafflehartsnet?

froggygoneacourting · 18/09/2020 01:54

I really don’t understand the really extreme obsessive rage at the very idea of black or ethnic minority people mentioning racism. It’s not even about accusing them personally of being racist, to these people the sight of a black person so much as speaking the word “racism” enrages them to the point it becomes a fixation to come charging in like a bull to shout them down.

It’s literally exactly the same as MRA and incel-types when they hear women talking about sexism.
