Why is RTE platforming eugenic racism?
Delete the tweet @rtesport. Delete the broadcast.
No broadcaster should promote eugenics @RTEsport . Least of all the broadcaster for a nation which was so devastated by British eugenic theories of the inferior Irish.
Paging @tconnellyRTE . I tuned to RTE to get *away* from the lazy racism of British broadcasting....

Bulgarian nationalists propose law to “socialize” Roma people, incentivising abortions.

ICYMI, Bulgarian Gov systematically demolished Roma homes - desocializing them! Our report > opensocietyfoundations.org/sites/default/…

She’s a British citizen. Why does Guardian normalise idea that a politician could exile her?

(If she’s committed crimes against UK law, she can - of course - be prosecuted here.) theguardian.com/world/2019/feb…
Now UK Minister says that - as a British citizen - Shamima Begum has a right to return home to UK.

Good - that’s the right legal & political position.

theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/f…
Q of what duties UK Gov has to *help* her come back to UK is v different. Basic point - Gov should never use or threaten exile.

I’m here for the unwitting honesty of British nationalist Twitter’s pain.
Digby Jones shows us two key themes of British nationalism:

“UK sounding & being strong is good, natural. Other states sounding & being strong is bad, bullying.”

“UK opposition shouldn’t contest Gov decision on international relations, they should back them”
Don’t @ me about how it’s English not British nationalism :)

(THREAD) When my son was in Gr 10 he brough home, To Kill a Mockingbird. I was angry -my child, was reading a text of a past romanticized by some, even tho it was riddled with #racism. I wondered how many texts he would read that looked like him. But he had to read that- why?
I had asked many times for a reading list of books theyd have in their English class. I asked if the texts looked like them, reflected their experiences bc #IdentityMatters. I never could get an answer. Replies included, it was a #Classic but y'all know #Classics aint #Neutral
Of course, the response when we have these convos - "Y'all want to Censor...". Funny how "#freeSpeech" and "#censorship" always come up when issues of #equity are being discussed. That our children shouldn't be exposed to #racism and #trauma they live EVERY. SINGLE. DAY

Egregious cases of #RTE as activist hit High Court : Children equally suffer due - now not everyone can understand the issue here and the deception jagranjosh.com/news/admitted-… ; let me explain for benefit of public.
Imagine the following situation :

1 . You are a non-minority trust and have a school with 100 Seats. #RTE stipulates you set aside 25 seats for (whatever arbitrary quota Govt decides) -- all fine till now.
2. It is also the case that the 25 seats wuld have to be subsidized by your trust somehow - most likely by passing on burden to the other 75. Even here -- all fine till now. read on..

I lost over 100 followers this week standing up for WOC being attacked by white women.
I'm sorry to have lost them because it means those folks missed the point.
White people have an obligation to POC in America because of the damage #racism inflicts even if we aren't #racist.

The hardest words in any language are "I'm sorry."
Acknowledging our flaws goes against ego.
But it's essential.
I know I am a strong person with strong Socialist politics.
I know I can be intense.
But I am a fiundamentally kind person who doesn't want to hurt people.
2/
At times I know I <have> hurt people--we all have.
And that is my point: If people tell you you have hurt them, listen.
I don't mean casual snark, but hurt.
Listen.
Say you are sorry.
Repentance is under-utilized and under-valued, and that's not just my Catholicism talking.
