Wiley seems to be speaking about his specific experiences within the music industry but it's hard to see how his comments won't incite more racism, I saw a video of some dude going mad at a Jewish family on a tube shouting racist shit at them, hard to see how it won't fuel this somehow, I was having a chat about this the other day with the missus about how it could be contrused as censorship, social media platforms shutting him down so quick, calling for his head on a platter, what he said about the kkk and Jewish people was way too fucking far imo. Generalising over a whole community, horrible. Also just to say I agree with what was mentioned above by @cornelius_blackfoot we had an incident a couple years ago where I asked a builder working next door to please move his van, he proceeded tell us we were a bunch of n***** picked up a hammer and started swinging it at me, was with my daughter at the time and he had to be ushered away by his colleagues, luckily she doesn't remember as she was young at the time, really made me feel awful for a good while. My mum also got abused not long ago because she made a mistake driving, she cried for the entire day. Abuse at any level however insignificant it may seem, needs to be challenged and called out.
