Skeletor Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Mental the age of that kid, from Birmingham as well. Villa supporter presumably? Online abuse, whether racist, sexual or paedos would all but stop if online anonymity wasn’t a thing. If you had to sign up for the likes of twitter or whatever with a national id, they would think twice surely. Whilst there is an element of this, as Wullie says Facebook is by far and away the biggest breeding ground for extremist groups. The worst thing they ever did was include news articles in people's personal feeds years ago. That and private/invisible groups. It's more the lack of instant consequences. Online you're not going to get a fist to the face for what you say. In fact, since the boy is 12 all he'll get is a telling off and a slap on the wrist. Also looking at Instagram the little prick has multiple accounts he's been using to racially abuse people. Ian Wright got abused too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 That's just obviously not true though. This kid today wasn't anonymous for a kick off. The worst stuff you see is on Facebook where everybody has their real name proudly next to the picture of their grandkids with a poppy over the top.

r0cafella Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 It’s almost as if, for the last 10 years we’ve gone all in on the divide and conquer politics route. Which is reflected in all walks of society. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
huss9 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 12 years old ffs. any normal 12 year old isnt aware of language like that or the KKK unless they've been brought up hearing those words. 3 of my kids are 12 yrs old or over. i'll F and blind in front of them at times, i admit, but they wouldnt/havent ever used language like that and i dont even know if the have eaver heard of a "coon" - its just such an oudated insult. i used to get it in school in the 80's and i'm of asian stock!

Makes me wonder if the racist kid is of Australian heritage - it’s the #1 pejorative against Indigenous Australians and still, shamefully, is heard often. It’s also the brand name for the #1 selling tasty cheese, and we’re such a racist country that we can’t even get that name changed in 2020. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you want from this is for the kid learning something and not just going away with a verbal clip. Change his attitude, leave no room for resentment and build understanding.

Aye, education and talking face to face to try and solve these issues and break down barriers is key in many of these cases IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take the kid to meet Zaha, have a chat, give the kid a lesson in humanity and build bridges. The kid then might go on and talk about his experiences to his friends and change their minds.

wormy Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Hoy him off a bridge. The idea of them sitting down face to face is kind of nice in theory. But I also don't like how it would inevitably lead to the whole thing ending up a PR exercise and in a twisted way giving the little shit five minutes of fame out of the whole thing.

Guest chicken little Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Good idea in theory but don't see why Zaha should have to give up his time for being the victim of a crime. I'd be happy with some sort of compromise: "Take the kid to meet Zaha, have a chat, give the kid a lesson in humanity and build bridges" and then at the end Zaha gets to dig the kid as hard as he likes in the solar plexus.

jdckelly Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 education is the only answer especially in this case as its a bloody kid. Hopefully in 10-20 years he'll look back at this and completely cringe at his behavior Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully in 10-20 years he'll look back at this and completely cringe at his behavior At 12 years old if he's not been educated enough to know what he's said is wrong, then there really are only 3 options...his parents and teachers have massively failed him, he's just a cocky little arse trying to show off to his mates, or he genuinely believes it and is just plain ignorant Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldnt surprise me if it comes out that the bairn is on the autism spectrum and therefore has no filter. Education is the way forward. Always.

NG32 Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 The kid should come in for a sound verbal lashing but if you really want to turn things round for the better,you cant just leave it at that.
