I went out to bat HARD for John Davidson after he shouted the N word at black actors and producers at the BAFTAs; against many in my own community. Davidson apologised, and his use of a racist slur was explained by his disability and I extended grace and forgiveness.
So here is the uncomfortable question. Kanye West has bipolar disorder. He has said his antisemitic outbursts are linked to it. He has apologised, more than once. Yet the reaction is entirely different.
Let me be clear. West’s antisemitism is vile. It is not edgy, it is not excusable, and it causes real harm. In the same way, a white person using the N word does. Both should be condemned without hesitation.
But condemnation is not the same as consistency. If we are prepared to treat disability as a mitigating factor in one case, we cannot simply ignore it in another because the individual is more controversial or the offence feels less convenient to forgive. Either disability meaningfully shapes responsibility, or it does not. Either apologies carry weight, or they do not.
If we only extend grace selectively, it stops being a principle and starts looking like preference.

@ZackPolanski It’s not a genocide though is it you ugly horse toothed mong

A lot of words to say Angela supports the Genocide.
And the Telegraph publishes this pretty disgraceful attempted policing of my Jewish-ness.
Unsurprising when the Green Party have come top of a poll - they just attack relentlessly rather than offer anything positive.

This extract from my piece in @Telegraph exposes the fundamental blindspot of Zack Polanski : namely that antisemites don’t make exceptions. And one day he’ll discover he has just been a useful idiot for @TheGreenParty #greenparty #zackpolanski #antisemitism

@piersmorgan I agree, but you platform Dan Bilzerian and Candace Owens on a British tv show. How can you talk?
English
Shouldn’t even be a debate.
Kanye’s Hitler-loving, Nazi-slathering, Jew-hating bullsh*t should be disqualifying for appearances at any music festival.

BREAKING:
Following my report and follow up with the US State Department in which I exposed the fact that Qasem Soleimani’s Niece Hamideh Soleimani Afshar has been living in the United States (Los Angeles, California) where she posts pro-Iranian regime and pro-IRGC content on her social media while she lives a life of luxury, the US State Department and @SecRubio have just revoked her green card and she has been picked up by ICE. She has been arrested and will be deported back to Iran!
According to the official @StateDept press release,
“Last night, the niece and grand niece of deceased Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps Major General Qasem Soleimani were arrested by federal agents following Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s termination of their lawful permanent resident (LPR) status.
Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter are now in the custody of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. As identified by both press reporting and her own social media commentary, Soleimani Afshar is an outspoken supporter of the totalitarian, terrorist regime in Iran.
In addition to the termination of Hamideh Soleimani Afshar and her daughter’s LPR status, Afshar’s husband has also been barred from entering the United States.”
Over the last few months, I have quietly been documenting all of Hamideh Soleimani Afshar’s social media activity. I uploaded it all to a secure file and shared it with DHS and Department of State, and now she has been arrested and she will be deported from our country.
Thank you, @potus @SecRubio @marcorubio @ASDylanJohnson!

BREAKING: I have reported Qasem Soleimani’s neice to @DHSgov and @StateDept. She is on social media making threats against the Trump administration, posting content sympathetic to the Iranian regime and Ayatollah, celebrating missiles being launched by Iran into Israel and other Middle Eastern countries, and posting other jihadi content while she lives in extreme luxury in Los Angeles. It’s worth noting that the woman (whose name I am only giving to authorities at this time so she doesn’t flee) does not wear a hijab, even though it’s required in Iran. Her social media is full of scantily clad photos in all designer outfits, likely paid for with terrorist tied money from the Iranian regime. She also appears to have undergone massive amounts of plastic surgery to hide her identity, completely transforming her facial features. President Trump ordered the U.S. military to kill Iranian General Qasem Soleimani on January 3, 2020. The drone strike occurred near Baghdad International Airport in Iraq, targeting Soleimani, who was the head of Iran's elite Quds Force. The strike was justified by the Trump administration as a defensive action to prevent imminent attacks on American personnel. I am in touch with Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s @marcorubio team at the US State Department and counterterrorism officials at DHS. They told me they are looking into my evidence immediately. I have turned over all documentation to the Department of State and DHS. This is a developing story. I will keep you posted.

@Don_Falcone2 @davina_thfc @matthayesthfc What’s fucking hilarious is that these virtue signaling cunts support the terrorists who raped their way through innocent Jewish villages on October 7th. They fucking support these medieval cavemen Palestinians

@davina_thfc @matthayesthfc Oh bore off Davina 🤦 shall we give him a prison sentence as well? Will that be enough to satisfy you? Pathetic

Pleasantly surprised that he addressed it.
A broad statement like that is always easier than taking a stand when it's someone you know, but it's a start.
Think there's an opportunity for the club to build on this moment and, for example, do some educational community work.
