The rapper will pay for his antisemitism but nothing else will change. Twitter and Instagram were once cute but have turned vicious, writes the comedian Nish Kumar

The pandemic-induced economic collapse has devastated several industries, even as others have thrived. The arts and hospitality sectors are struggling yet Amazon and the banana bread industrial complex are booming. And then there is the internet racism industry that goes from strength to strength. We’re constantly told that our manufacturing sector is on its knees, but somehow we have a near ceaseless production line of jerks.

'racism flowed because'? Seriously?

So basically its facebooks fault?😂😂 What a load of shit

His racism flowed because he's a racist.

MrNishKumar knows all about hate. He spews enough of it

And the Labour Party

Don’t we all get the timeline we deserve?

I dont get why people dont understand twitter hasn't changed in at least 10 years, the main problem is the influencers and blue ticks, use it for personal gain and that changed it to a popularity contest

You’ve some nerve 😂😂😂

The cruellest thing anyone will ever have said to Nish Kumar wasn't a racial slur. It was someone telling him he had 'comedic talent'.

So it turns out a black person can be racist. I bet there are thousands of woke white virtue signalling Guardian readers reaching out to their therapist.

You are the least funny comedian on the planet Nish Kumar

he will not be held accountable PC hypocrisy at it's finest

wiley didn't do anything wrong...

The petri dish that Nish Kumar has helped to culture?

The Internet used to be good. Before the general public got wind of it.

Real change is about confronting racist tropes and conspiracy theories WHEREVER they come from!SM is a platform and not the source!Wiley is being indoctrinated and it's that which really should be dealt with.

Cooked up by people like nish

No, it flowed because he said it. Nish is a prat.

Is the guy who told his audience to go home and kill their white parents bitching that Twitter is vicious and promotes racist behaviour... Irony anyone 🤣

His racism flowed because he's racist........

By the left

So many words and a complete lack of effort in tracking the racism & antisemitism back to the source (in Wiley's case). Of course platforms need to change, but you can't ignore the racist/antisemitic groups that push the rhetoric.

It says at the bottom MrNishKumar is a comedian?

He would know

Bloodclart batty bwoy
