    You think you know someone and then sh1t happens. I was on Facebook earlier when I came across a video that a "friend" posted. I always thought of this person as progressive! The video is by some American hack spewing racist hatre speech. Im not going to embed the video but I would ask that you leave a thumbs down on the video and report it. I was surprised to see how many likes this youtuber got. Ive reported the video on facebook but it still hasn't been taken down.

    Crunch bars are delicious. I tried my best to achieve some level of outrage while watching the video but it didnt happen.

    I've a cousin in London who joined the Labour Party 2 years ago, I avoid topics like the Holocaust, Jews etc to not set him off and cause I don't want to listen to that ****.

    Makes his visits pleasant for all.

    Pick your battles.

    My rule for facebook is anyone who posts more than one think a week gets blocked. Stay friends, you can get messages and invites, but you don't see their content. Anyone who shares any political shíte, block so you don't see their posts.

    Not only is the video racist but it also attacks the LGBTQ+ community. If we can get enough reports in for this video we can get it banned

    Get rid of your account. There's nothing there that you can't get elsewhere.

    Facebook are releasing a crypto currency, so they might change but into something bigger.

    I didn't embed that video because it is disgusting and racist! I provided the link so people here could dislike the video, not subscribe to it! Says a lot about you really.

    Your man is a knob but that ad is terrible.

    I agree with half of your statement but why do you think the ad is terrible? Because it includes racial minorities maybe?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,584 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    Imagine finding out one of your mates was a psycho who killed random people or something.

    Or you walk into the room and find their racist angst curled up into a ball.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,584 ✭✭✭✭ILoveYourVibes


    how come you never really knew your friend though?


    Don't you have deep convos etc?

    There is probably lots of stuff important stuff you don't know.

    Was this person REALLY a friend?? Or just some random fb person?

    No, because it does so so deliberately that is seems incredibly forced and cringey, and actually seems pretty condescending. We know Native Americans can wear suits and have jobs, but thanks for reminding us chocolate bar makers.

    Also, I don't trust the motive of any of these companies, they aren't trying to support minorities, they are trying to profit off of them.

    Racism is the cause for many random people being killed though! Doesn't sound as funny anymore, does it!

    You know where I stand. You are the one complaining about the ad. The people that don't like these type of adverts are the ones who don't like to be reminded that Native Americans can wear suits and have jobs!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,217 ✭✭✭✭m5ex9oqjawdg2i


    Posting a video doesn't make you racist... cop on OP.

    You can try your best to insinuate that I don't like the idea of Native Americans having jobs but that's clearly not what I said.

    I said I don't like money hungry companies profiting off minorities. If you're OK with that then that's your issue, it's actually you that has questionable morals, imo.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 135 ✭✭JaimeLannister


    The video is pretty funny if anything. Lighten up OP, no need to be perma-offended!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,366 ✭✭✭✭DARK-KNIGHT


    Snowflakes everywhere

    Thanks op

    Liked the video and subscribed to him

    He is hilarious

    yes it does

    Actually was being totally serious.

    I have noticed this weird thing where people don't know when i am serious. Nor when i am joking.

    I don't fit in your box.

    Again being serious.

    It's not all labour. It's the ones that swallow the dogma whole.
