Re: Freedom of speech

I wonder who this 'hate ' crap will affect most?

I just saw a clip on TV of a black man, wearing a tartan Tam O' Shanter hat, taking the piss out of the Scots. Earlier on TV, there were black women complaining that their Afro hair is often subject to racism.

I wonder if the SNP would consider the fake Scottish accent a hate speech? I leave you to decide because I know the answer.

Yes, yes they would. Call it cultural appropriation or somesuch. Funny how the hate speech doesn't quite stretch to sectarianism though. Hrmph.

Is that why many of them wear wigs? black woman...

I dont expect anyone to completely agree with me in everything and I dont agree with some things some say . The world is taking away individuality and trying to clone brains to have one train of thought. I think its called brain washing , the media is guilty of this.

Re: Freedom of speech

There was a black woman recently in the news, having problems with her hair. She had run out of hairspray to set her hair, so she used gorilla glue.

Gorilla Glue

It has set like stone and no amount of washing has helped. Poor woman!
