Would you be able to link just one example of high engagement, horrible racist shit against black people?

  Twitter has search if you really want to see examples. Took me a few seconds to find this one with 16k likes from a couple of days ago. https://x.com/GarethDavies007/status/1861477780778529043 https://x.com/GarethDavies007/status/1861477780778529043

    You shouldn’t have to use the search, since we’re now addressing the claim that racism is everywhere and in your face on that platform. Anti-immigration sentiments also don’t have to be racist, like they aren’t in the case of that post.

      Clive Myrie is not an immigrant, he was born in northern England. The post is blatantly about race (“how often do white hosts”, “stop the racism”). You asked for something high-engagement, but the stuff that tends to be “in your face” is low engagement/high volume, as in this case I shared with you elsewhere in the thread. https://x.com/kaseyklimes/status/1862323859321483316 https://x.com/kaseyklimes/status/1862323859321483316

        You've linked a profile of someone whose entire following is centered around an anti-immigration sentiment. There are entire political parties centered around that. I understand that you're advocating for censorship, and you hate X because it's not going to cater to that wish. My point is that X isn't some propaganda tool of hateful content. It's a platform that has a little something for everyone, just as it should be.
