Wherever you have to go, just get away because there’s no fixing this [26% of black people in Rasmussen Reports’s poll disagreeing with the phrase ‘it’s okay to be white’]. You just have to escape, so that’s what I did. I went to a neighborhood where, you know, I have a very low Black population.” #history #racism

on 02025-09-29#DHH comes out as believing that descendants of immigrants to Britain aren’t “native Brits” and that he wouldn’t want to live around them: “I thought I might move there one day. That was then. Now, I wouldn’t dream of it. London is no longer the city I was infatuated with in the late ‘90s and early 2000s. Chiefly because it’s no longer full of native Brits. In 2000, more than sixty percent of the city were native Brits. By 2024, that had dropped to about a third. A statistic as evident as day when you walk the streets of London now.” Then he endorses Tommy Robinson! “But a demographic nightmare worse than [the prospect of Denmark being less ethnically Danish] has already enveloped London!” #racism #politics #UK

on 02016-02-12“Facebook issued a statement which suggested it’s giving Trump an exemption because he’s running for office. However, his supporters aren’t likely to be as lucky.
Fast Company created a dummy Facebook account in which the fake user quoted Donald Trump’s call for a ban on all Muslims and stated agreement with it. The magazine then reported its own post as being in violation of the hate speech policies, and sure enough, Facebook ended up deleting the post in question. It suggests that even though users can’t get Trump’s own hate speech posts removed, they may be able to eliminate the most egregious posts being made by his followers.” #racism #politics
