Re:Frank Robinson the racist

Fireworks are a way of enjoying the festival of lights!
Its how its celebrated.
All sorts of people get drunk act stupid cause accidents,?knock dogs?
Why not ban alcohol then?
No balls to post that on facebook?or wherever???
But when its Indians trying to celebrate a festival that has auspicious meaning and its how its been celebrated for years!beeeeg issue???
Why not put that stall attendant behind bars or 6 feet down when he kicks a horse?? Or even a jockey that kicks or whips a horse too much if u love animals soo much???
Dont argue what suits ur thoughts at the time!

It would have been easy for the author to insert the word human into the post if that is what he was making reference to in my opinion. It baffles me that you cannot see how that statement can be taken to be offensive to any person of the Indian, Hindu community. I have no hidden agendas but merely expressing the offence I took to the posts. Whether or not you or anyone else sees my view is a different story.
Instead of trying to justify the reasons behind the post and who it was targeting, admit that it could have been better phrased and apologize. Just trying to justify it paints a different picture in my mind.
I have sent the post to friends of different races and everyone of them (9), agree that it was racially insensitive. They could all be wrong of course.

Maybe they should make fireworks for the visual enjoyment without the noise/bang.

I don't celebrate Diwali or Guy Fawkes(not my religion neither do i have the money to burn), but what do people do with their animals during thunder storms which occur more frequently than these one a year celebrations?

A common comeback by Racists is that "my comments were taken our of context". I agree that FR must face the consequences for his blatantly racist remarks.

I personally don't know FR, so I cannot comment on his character.

But, his post either suggests that he is either a racist, 100% tone deaf or as dumb as an ox. Maybe his friends can shed some light on it.

Either way, he will have to now deal with the noise, long after the lights have gone off.

This happens year in - year out.

Friends, Christmas and New Years is around the corner.

1. The beaches will be full.
2. There will be some unruly behavior.
3. There will be drunken debauchery.

Plan accordingly.

Stay off SM.

Frank is not a racist. He is just a huge animal lover who feeds many animals like feral cats out of his own pocket every day. It hurts him to see the chaos/terror caused by fireworks to any animals/birds for any reason. No reason is good enough for what innocent animals/birds are put though by these unnecessary loud bangs.

Referring to Indians as a "Shit Nation" is Racist which no one can defend. I never wrote it Frank Robinson has! I do know there are certain organisations taking action. You all can defend him but his racist post is evidence. I am extremely offended as a Hindi Speaking Indian.

NAME, SHAME AND EXPOSE FR, MAKE HIM FAMOUS .
ANYONE THAT HAS BEEN INSULTED BY FR COMMENTS, CAN REPORT HIM TO SAHMS.
THEY HAVE A LEGAL TEAM, THAT WILL TAKE UP THE ISSUE ON RACIST COMMENTS, ESPECIALLY ABOUT DIWALI.
IT IS SAD THAT TOMORROW MARKS THE 160 TH YEAR OF THE ARRIVAL OF THE INDENTURED LABOURERS TO SA., WHO WORKED AS SLAVES AND MADE A HUGE CONTRIBUTION TO SA.
AFTER 160 YEARS, WE STILL GET COMMENTS LIKE THIS.
I GUESS THE MORE YOU CHANGE THINGS, THE MORE IT REMAINS THE SAME.

Gold Circle is aware of comments attributed to a KZN-based trainer on social media and disassociates itself from those comments which in no way reflect the views of Gold Circle. The company does not tolerate any form of racial discrimination and whilst the NHA conducts an investigation into this matter, Gold Circle will be doing their own investigation and deciding on an appropriate course of action.

Hi Craig and others.

I think by now we are all well versed in the use of social media and the implications associated with it.
The reality is that whatever we post is left open to interpretation by others and this has repercussions which we must face.
Unfortunately Frank opened himself up to this when he chose to respond to the post, now he has to face the repercussions no matter his intentions. I for one do not know him personally so cannot comment on his personal traits.
However, I have to agree with Blackbeard, he should have given his statement more thought and phrased it better. Or it could have been exactly what he wanted to say, only he will know.
So happens today marks 160 years since Indians arrived in SA, a 160 years that Diwali has celebrated Diwali. A long time for us to still be complaining rather that finding ways of dealing with it.
Also fitting was the Thunder in Durban last night, to me that was louder than any of the fireworks over the weekend.

Only one race was celebrating, if he wanted to say human race he would have said so. He and those who agree with must take their bulls*** and shove it.
