Haha sorry what? You are the one that brought his history into the discussion, not me. I said you don't know a thing about him, which is obviously now true, and then you told me that your criticism of him was because of the tweet in isolation and using your words "why would it be anything other than that?". I explained to you why I thought it was more than that, given your history, and you have proven me correct. You have contradicted yourself countless times here.mate he has an open facebook its hardly a rumour that his behaviour in the last couple of months has been very anti pc/woke. seems to have occurred since the herritier/eddie stuff kicked off. i posted some the stuff that has been written on there. there is a tweet from a GWS support who explains his experience with him. the tweet from the lady who worked in the same space as him is also out there. i just cbf'd digging it up
and i was answering honestly when i said the two tweets cannot be verified, i merely relayed them, just like anyone reading your passionate defence of his good nature, also cannot be verified. it's all third hand.
but all of this is a complete sideshow. you are doing everything you can to try and move the conversation away from the racism he spewed and direct back onto people on here. to the point you wouldn't even acknowledge what the very definition of racism is.
and at that point the conversation becomes completely futile
i've yet to read one poster agree with your view here that he is not racist. how many people do you need to tell you, that what he said was racist and therefore he is racist, before you acknowledge it?
I asked for proof of his racism in the 80's. I have received nothing. I asked you for proof of past behaviours, you have given me nothing. You had absolutely no idea of the work he has done in the past that contradicts your view, and then when I explain it to you, you ignore it.
You want to believe what you want to believe irrespective of the facts, at least I have agreed countless times now that his recent behaviour is racist, the least you can do is acknowledge you know nothing about him.
You think all it takes to label someone a racist is for them to act a certain way whilst dismissing the actions and behaviours they have presented over a much longer and extensive amount of time that completely goes against that notion. I choose not to think that way, I believe instances of racism happen but its definitely going to take more for me to believe Joffa is rubber stamped racist. And I have 25 years of life experience to back that up.
You said they couldn't be verified but relayed them anyway. For what reason? Obviously to paint a picture of a guy you again have no clue about.
I thought this conversation was dead yesterday when we established you have a poor understanding of who he is as a person, why are we continuing the discussion? He needs to shut his mouth and apologise for his uncalled for comments, that's it. The rest of the stuff you posted about him is uneducated nonsense.
