Last month, Twitter founder Jack Dorsey donated $3m to former NFL player Colin Kaepernick's Know Your Rights Camp to"advance the liberation and well-being" of minority communities.
Last month, GitHub, the world's biggest site for software developers, said it was working on changing the term 'master' from its coding language. The firm, owned by Microsoft, is used by 50 million developers to store and update its coding projects.
Hahahahahahahahahahahaha Fuck you twitter I hope you go bankrupt
Can I ask what I call a Master Cylinder and Slave Cylinder when ordering parts for these in my car, please?
If twitter keeps banning every thing that others deem sensative there won't be anyone in twitter. Choose the door behind you in the way of and turn off the lights
Well this is systematic racism - where will it stop - it’s a whitewash
What was that movie a few years ago: 12 years a unpaid worker....oops almost used the S word.
Not surprised freedom of speech is banned by left wing media. No Augusta Masters now Augusta golf tournament. No more stories in history i.e. Moses and Israeli slaves escaped, now renamed Moses and some pissed off people. Absolute joke.
Yawns
What are the new names for White City and Whitechapel underground stations?
Always call a spade a spade.
For the love of... this is getting absolutely ridiculous. The IT world doesn’t use terminology based on skin colour...!! Get a grip this has gone too far.
What a load of crap ! Why not STOP using the English language altogether? Anyone who is offended by anything like that is beyond the point of no return! What for instance shall we call the colour black now ? Madness !
🙄🙄🙄
This doesn't change the meaning of slave and master, and wouldn't it be simpler to just stop referring to people by colour? IMHO this just reinforces the identity of dark-skinned people as black and slavish.
Blacklist has nothing to do with racism, so you can’t say ‘master socket’ then either, or ‘slave cylinder’ these are all names of items, stupid knee jerk reaction
But hides the Brixton hashtag whilst it was all kicking off 🤷🏼♂️
This is a ridiculous racism witch hunt going on.
So what’s going to happen to the master of the sea’s or the navy, So now my slave driver is going to be obsolete, And now I can not add bad payers onto my blacklist!! Next it will be a ban on : black boards, black birds, black berry’s, black coffee/tea, blckpens, This is stupid
So no Masters degree, no Master of a ship, no master bates. What about a White List then?
what about blackleg and Nottingham
So the James Spader series ‘Blacklist’ will have to be renamed ‘Naughty List’. Santa’s going to be pissed !
PR stunt
wait for it....
Perhaps the word Twit from its titles
For pete's sake this is getting stupid now, where is it going to end, why are people still defending George Floyd, I agree that he shouldn't have been killed and it was a horrible way to die but he isn't squeaky clean, he isn't innocent and we can't just defend his behaviour.
What do we call the 7 point ball in snooker now then?
2+2=4
I'll sue BBC Sport if they mention a 'whitewash' in English cricket again.
So U2 can no longer record a master mix in their studio! Will Beyoncé say “send me a copy of the master mix”? This is a joke right
What a load of shite
So why is the music industry still rapping about (Niger’s) in their lyrics ? Ban the music that promotes RACIST words for that matter 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯or about WHITE people !! 🤬🤬🤬
Anything else? Blackberries? Blackcurrant? Blackbird? Get a grip
Never heard of sticks and stones may break my bones 🦴 but NAMES will never hurt me; pathetic 🤯
Ffs what ever next 🙄
So if I use the words 'master' and 'slave' will I be 'blacklisted' by twitter
Meanwhile back in the real world....
Soooo now let’s put it in perspective. Schools take note. Blackboards are for black students. White boards are for white students. Now please introduce a Grey board for mixed race students. Is everyone clear on the rules for September..🤣 if not you’ll be black/white/greylisted
Blacklist is blacklisted 😂😂😂
Shitter is on a downward spiral, Cancel this, Delete that.. Parler is the new Shitter.. Freedom of speech when it really matters..
Hahahahaha you know a company has got too big headed when they want to try to change the English language
The left want compelled speech. They want words banned and anyone who uses them to be banned and cancelled from society. To challenge gets you ostracised. Orwellian times.
I am lost for words 🤔
Now we are getting to the nitty gritty.
Stupid is what stupid does. 🙄
Should not 'mistress' be dropped as well or perhaps it already has.
Oh for heavens sake another load of PC crap.
The words master & slave describe the relationship between two entities - using them to accurately describe the relationship between two devices isn't racism. Seeing racism where it doesn't exist isn't inclusivity, its insanity. TheTruthMatters
blacklist noun [ C ] UK /ˈblæk.lɪst/ US /ˈblæk.lɪst/ a list of people, countries, etc. who are considered by a particular authority or group to be unacceptable and who should be avoided and not trusted
Racism BTFO
Well that's all the BDSM fans off Twitter then.And as they go they're singing the famous Rolling Stones song 'Paint it Black '. 🎶🙄🤪
Master? This is a word which is commonly used but has nothing to do with slavery in the U.K. I.e Head Master
How about Blackbird. The verb 'blackbirding' was used indicate the slave trade. We should cancel the Turdus merula - that's Latin for Common Blackboard. But Latin used by Romans, who had slaves, so that should be cancelled. Ignore the UAE that only abolished slavery 60 yrs ago.
People really are pathetic aren’t they... People who suffer genuine racism will be overjoyed by this I’m sure. It’s always been the millennia old language used day to day that’s been the problem. 🤦🏼♂️ Virtue signalling nonsense
To satisfy every possible interpretation of such words, what about doing away with the words “black” and “white” from the English language and having a poll to define their replacements? The whole issue is nonsensical.
This will end racism for good
Bandwagon jumping again. It only people LOOKING for offence that find it in a word by twisting it's relevance. 'Black' is a colour - i hv many items of that colour & also many items white, red, green etc. Im offended by their offence.
The term “blacklist” originated in the 16th century, when black balls were used in the voting process to signify which candidates were not favoured.....
What about blackmail, blackboard, blackjack, blackouts are these terms all going to be banned ? And I suppose Johnny Cash (the man in person of colour) has got no chance being played on the radio anymore!!!
The worlds gone fucking mad.
And it keeping getting more & more pathetic
If this is true - all the advertising money twitter was paid while being racist 1995-2020 should be donated to stunning and Brave Indigineous trans women of color 👏🏻
Oh for goodness sake-it’s ridiculous
Here we go again, f$cking relentless (what a perfect start to day, NOT!)
Another stupid attempt at virtue signalling to appear inclusive. If you’re triggered by words when they have no connection to their original context, then aren’t you by definition inherently showing unconscious racial bias?
Yes, that will solve everything...
More pc ordure by this vile broadcaster, but the BBC and its thought policing clowns are only a symptom Huge parts of our society are now sick and a cure will take far longer than for COVID19 'Dr' Murray diagnoses the malaise with frightening accuracy
Oh dear , you’ve got the racists & gammons properly riled up this morning. You do understand that none of them is reading the article don’t you?
So next step is to remove these characters from the alphabet list? 1.”b” 2.”l” 3:”a' 4:”c” 5:”k” Because these characters are criminals which make people easily think of racism, yeah?
Twitter hasn't banned keywords, gammon. They're changing the programming language that has stuck from decades ago. Go cry about something that doesnt affect you (unless if you're racist of course)
Unbelievable
I really don't understand how traditional words like “master”, “slave” and “blacklist” violate some people's feelings. Aren't they too sensitive? If they remove these words, then they hurt some normal people's feelings.
While Twitter is busy banning Vicious Hideous Offensive words such as 'Master' 'Slave' & 'Blacklist'... I must assume they will be banning the Grossly Offensive name of the Vicious Violent Drug Crazed Gun Toting Career Criminal 'George Floyd'...?
There goes trying to understand flip-flops J/k 😜
The sheer stupidity is laughable. White wokists doing their best at virtue signalling. Will these jokers now change the colour of chess pieces?
Si çà continue ils vont bannir le tiers du dictionnaire
Look out people. They'll be adding artificial colouring to milk next, and white collar workers will be called 'yuppies' again lol
😂😂😂😂😂😂..👍
FFS
What about the chief whip is that still allowed?
I'm sure this'll make everyone feel better about everything and solve all of the world's racial problems. MAYBE one of the problems we have with race is that there are people and companies looking for racism where there is none.
Scrum master agile
Christ knows what’s going to happen to Doctor Who’s ‘The Master’, will that be banned too by this never-ending PC BS?
police reform? Nah we'll just rename tech shit lmao
Just a reminder that MDC had a song called 'John Wayne was a Nazi' and only now are Orange County officials considering renaming an airport cause he was a Nazi...
The irony is they are now slaves to the terrorist group blacklivesmatter
The word Master comes from the Latin, Magister which means chief, director or head. Is twitter planning on banning those too, where will this stupidity stop?
This is getting outta hand
can Congress still use the 'whipping boy' title?
Here the mind communism is coming.😏
Wake up to racism! This is bringing to light the insensitive language that companies continue to use freely without ever really considering how they originated.
but they don't get rid of 'whitelist'?
stick it up ur arse twitter,
So they are just now realizing it? All these companies coming up with bullshit.
F for the Twitter BDSM community.
Oh give it a rest ffs. Your gonna cause Racism
How about dropping Louis Farrakhan
but whitelist is still allowed?
What are programmers and software developers gonna do? It has always been slave & master in the code description.
There are no words to describe this
aww, Graduate Students can't get their BLANK degree.
Do ur research on the phrase 'blacklist ' it has nothing to do with slavery regardless of how some try.
To be replaced with 'sub' and 'dom'
Wow, racism is literally embedded in our tech. Talk about systemic racism.
So I can’t comment on the show the blacklist ? Or the golf tournament the masters ?
That is just Incredibly Stupid.
