I didn't compare CF's suicide with the "criticism" of JB, but I compared how she was treated publicly (and also on this forum) to how JB and KM ("she looks like an axxxxx") are being treated here right now.
CF was also called a "twit" if I remember correctly, amongst other things, and when she killed herself it was suddenly all "tragic". As with JB, a drunken and violent incident was relentlessly held against her and her whole character was vilified (she was called "a domestic abuser", "aggressive", "unstable", "a man eater" etc etc). This is documented, I am not making it up.
Why do you think she killed herself?
(You also called my comments passive aggressive, which they were not, and the user I initially addressed hinted that I might approve of JB's comments and find them "acceptable" - I call this an unwarranted attack on me.)
I guess we have to agree to disagree and I need to go and wash my hair now.
@whathastheworldcometo has actually previously commented (April 23rd 2022) on James’s use of the N word, and whilst it is true that you didn’t say it was acceptable, you certainly seemed quite keen to minimise and downplay it, going as far as to comment:
“I remember using it as a child and not being aware that the word was offensive.
I even remember having something - a toy or sweets? - that showed a person of colour on the packaging.”
Which makes it fine then! As for you not “coming down on my level” what can I say? If my level is apparently lower than people who happily throw around racist terms after they have had a few drinks, happy to stay on mine thanks - all the while of course looking up wistfully to your morally superior one .
With regards to your whataboutery regarding Caroline Flack, - and people having the temerity to refer to her as a ‘domestic abuser’, she was charged with assault by the police against her boyfriend of the time! They were hardly spitefully making tit up were they?
And finally, as for moving on, you totally started this argument with me over your bizarre defence of James Browns proven racist language, - and snottily announcing it wasn’t a hate crime so what was the big deal?! You then went on to infer that me calling him a tit hairdresser might lead him to take his own life! I can only assume that you are him, or a friend of his, as your dogged defence makes little to no sense, - apart from maybe being overly sensitive due to the acknowledgment that you too used to use this language whilst younger.
Go and wash your hair, I dare say you’ll do a better job at styling it than James Brown would.
