How can quotation be racist? If a historian references mein kampf does that mean he is guilty of antisemitism?
The thought police would probably want a word just to make sure.

As much as I don't like the Labour Party - a lot of 'antisemitism in the Labour Party' is this sort of nonsense.How can quotation be racist? If a historian references mein kampf does that mean he is guilty of antisemitism?
Maybe, maybe not. The officer who took offence at this states it doesn’t matter what colour your skin is, the word is offensive.
Whether they would only get charged with posting offensive things and not be upgraded to a hate crime who knows
What if I identify as black?

And scary...I come from a former communist country where there was the 'political police'- an organ to repress political thoughts which were not in agreement with the communist ideology...now the PC police is getting strikingly similar
Holy thread bump! And with 3 posts all in the same thread, I can see your agenda a mile off.
Yet 3 posts because I am very frightened about the direction. I truly am from a former communist country, it started slowly there as well...give it 10 years in UK. A new party called "Offensive" will emerge and it will gain millions of members. And just like in my country, you'll have to tell your kids to restrain themselves at school because the prosecution might come after you if they say the wrong words...isn't that utopic? I am all in favor of repression...of images, words, thoughts, art, literature..."cuz"...who knows who might get inspired? Better play it safe with censorship
What is "
What is "necro a thread"? I'm not a "poster", I found a discussion on an issue I'm interested in and I post my opinion on it, even using my real name out of ignorance, because I have no clue about how to change it...so...where's the "evil"?)
this post is the opposite to "full of win"So frightened that you came to a computer forum and were so urgent in proclaiming your fears that you haven;t even had time to talk about computers, over clocking, hardware or any myriad of other topics form consoles, games, cooking, home ownership, mobile phones, tablets, sports.
So important in fact that you didn't even have time to respond to any of the recent post on the first hundred odd pages in GD, but had to use the search function to find a thread from a year ago to post your concerns in.
So which returnee are you, or are you simply posting from Moscow?
The Russians have become, in a certain way, the new 'Jews' for certain segments of the left.
Someone is googling a topic or whatever, comes across a forum where that topic has been discussed. Is openly interested in the topic, registers to add to it. Thats how people find this place. Just because it has Overclockers in the title, how many came here to specifically get a few more Mhz out of a CPU??
So they Necro'd a thread, at least its not a thread from 7 years ago where all the posters have sodded off to facebook or whatever.
The welcome is strong in this place!
Inb4 White Knight label gets slapped on my butt.
As this thread as been resurected probably worth pointing out that Chelsea Russell won an appeal against her conviction
William Beardmore, defending, made an application of no case to answer, arguing Russell copied lyrics from a song widely available in the UK.
He said the video of I'm Trippin could be watched on YouTube, the lyrics read online and the track listened to on iTunes and other platforms.
Mr Beardmore said none of those publishers had been arrested, yet it was now "tenuously" suggested pasting the lyrics on Instagram was illegal.
He said: "It's a ridiculous state of affairs and quite staggering that in a liberal democracy we're taking up court time talking about this particular type of activity.
"It may well be understandable perhaps if we were in a totalitarian state, but we're not, we're in the UK."
