Cannot believe this bigotry

I never look at Facebook, I don't think I'm missing much.

One of my 'friends' (who's an ex work colleague) on FB frequently shares xenophobic rubbish. I'm really surprised by her attitude.

I see a lot of similar ignorant and vitriolic postings on FB, but they are usually full of spelling and punctuation errors. My son posted a very wise thing one of the interesting things about the migrant crisis is that it does seem to be bringing out the closet racists, making them easier to make fun of and then subsequently avoid. I have been truly shocked by comments posted by colleagues, have really seen a glimpse of their true character.

Sadly it's a view shared by many

Sheer blind ignorance and prejudice. A disgrace to Scotland.

Just a sample.....

Think it's a disgrace, they can't even supply enough houses and food for the poverty in Aberdeen as it is! They should really consider looking after their own people before trying to accommodate people from another country because shortly our country will be just as poor and corrupt as the country's the refugees are fleeing!

They may not dare to say things face to face but they still hold the views

Oh! Shows I am up to date!!!!!

Facebook

What's FB?

It's probably that, plus the fact that some people lose all inhibition on social media and post things they wouldn't dare to say to people face to face.

Often those with a positive view will not comment...so probably majority OK with the proposals but as ever the minority grab the headlines!
