How do you deal with blatant xenophobia/racism from "friends" on social media?

"Any true Muslim has to believe in the Koran, which says KILL every Christian"

Where do these twats even get this drivel from? Bizarre.

You could always start by distinguishing what is xenophobia and what is racism, rather than lazily lumping them together as the same thing. They aren't.

So I have a "friend" on Facebook (I live in a town full of expats so lots of acquaintances that have friended me on Facebook) and he posts some absolutely horrific stuff. Now I know one possibility is to simply delete him and I have been tempted to do so. However at the same time don't we have some responsibility to confront people like this? Or is it simply a waste of time to debate with people like this? What do you do?

On the plus side he does seem to have (eventually) stopped an anti-Semitic attack.

Anyone who puts anything too personal or too inflammatory on Facebook is best avoided in my book. A lot of people who use Facebook don't really understand the rules of engagement in my opinion.

 

[soistes]

My suggestion would be that you post his contact details on here, and let NSC do the rest (Jamie...)

That's why i don't bother,i only see the negative (unusually for me) in such matters,so don't bother with FB,Twitter and such like..

 

[half time scores]

Send him this https://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=3
Saying he would like the people on there, Then BLOCK the so & so.

I made the discovery a month ago that you can delete your Facebook page and still keep the messenger.

For me this is a great way to keep in contact with close friends without wasting hours of looking at the drivel people post on there.

My pet hate at the moment is people who start a conversation 'did you see on Facebook . . .'. Avoid these people like the plague.

I actually think you are spouting boxxocks, but a 'responsibility to confront' etc etc? Do fxxk off, his opinions are his, just as valid as yours but different, just defriend (rubbish term) and move on, oh , and get some balls.

Bit cranky today? He said he wants to pepper spray people in the face because they're muslim. Do you think that's a fine thing to say? What do you mean get some balls, I was asking on NSC how people in general deal with reading this kinds of things on facebook not asking for advice.

How do I know him? Well I live in a small town in Costa Rica and he's another Englishman so I've chatted him in various times in bars and pubs - always seemed like a decent enough guy until I saw some of the crap he was posting on Facebook.

I would love to have him Jamied - bit difficult to achieve in this country though!

 

[wellquickwoody]

- always seemed like a decent enough guy until I saw that his views were different to mine and that he was posting them on Facebook.!

Corrected for you. Please remember that what he posts from afar may be different to his real life persona. And still, just de friend him rather than come to NSC saying 'oh, what shall I do?' in a melodramatic luvvie way.

 

[daveybgtt]

I think to myself " hmmm they have a different opinion than me" then scroll down to something else?

Do you also want help with how to dress yourself in the morning?

I'd be a bit choosier about my friends if I was you. But then again your the one asking for advice.

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

The talk of posh boarding schools and deliberately bad grammar and spelling is some weird attempt at humour?
Either way it is terrible.

Did you go to the same school?

 

[Herr Tubthumper]

Just trying to amouse you.

I like you're style.

 

[Triggaaar]

Treat his posts seriously and reply to them seriously, explaining where he's gone wrong.

It really is pretty poorly written, could his account have been hacked without his knowledge ? You could say something like " Looks like someone has stolen your FB ID and is posting absolute crap " " I'm sure its not your doing is it ? "

 

[FatSuperman]

Why didn't they teach him to write when he lived at the boarding school?

Can't you read? He was clearly too busy learning combat

 

[Bladders]

He probably thinks the same about you when you retweet/share Pro liberal snowflake propaganda.
