Shiny Eyes branding is hate speech

I’m not sure if any other person on this forum has pointed this out. If nobody has, I don’t think we should just sit here and ignore this fact.

It has been clearly stated in various forums that comments targeting a specific community are interpreted as hate speech remarks. I know what you are thinking. “Wait, @wheelz, this is just for fun. Stop taking it too seriously.” But it isn’t…

Neither was it when the KKK branded blacks as niggers. Or when the Hutus started calling Tutsis inyenzi - “cockroaches”. Does it only become sinister when the tag is used to gain political mileage?

There’s really nothing stopping you from calling Kikuyus shiny eye. Whether you are using it as a joke, or you are a hate filled bigot who actually loathes Kikuyus. But it isn’t right. Based on a falsehood that Kikuyus are thieves? Right? Yet, we see people from other communities being lynched daily for the same crime?

So, I beg to leave this village. I have been entertained. Learnt a few things. But I won’t stand by and watch as you vilify my people.

Its never that serious man.How will you behave if you are confronted by the same in real life?

So you only see those that target your peoplr and fail to see those that target the other side of the divide, the dim eyed railway uprooters, stone throwers? Okay.

Are they just jokes but those that target your people are insults?

If that is the mentality, hii Kenya hatutawai saidika mpaka ile siku damu itamwagika igeuze mchanga nyekundu.

What I hate most is when people refer to our leaders without using appropriate titles. You will hear someone call His Excellency Raila Amollo Odinga, EGH, EBS, Rtd Rt. Hon Prime Minister, Dip. in Welding, Warrior, TMT, Babuon, RWNBP, as simply Raila. Hio haifai kabisa.

On a similar note, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta should be referred with his appropriate titles.

As far as am concerned , branding and stereotyping communities is wrong, i have seen discriminative names here such as shiny eyes referring to Kikuyus , dim eyed orang-utans referring to Luos, watchmen referring to Luhyas, pilau boys, referring to coasterians , alshabaab refereeing to Somalis, watermelons referring to kambas etc
i have also noted with a lot of sadness the discrimination and stereotyping of single mothers

its a high time the admin did something about this worrying trend , tribalism, bigotry, sexisim ,discrimination of any kind should not be entertained here
i should also add that gay threads should not be allowed , kuna sites mob sana za hao watu, wapeleke upussy yao huko

Religion too is also a cause for worry, a major concern here , we all have different believes, lets try not to impose our religious believes on each other - kila nyani na starehe zake
Ni hayo tu

its never that serious here on ktlk. lakini in real life iko serious. e.g i live in western kenya. ukiwa mgeni huku kitu ya kwanza watu hutaka kujua ni your middle name. sema jina inakaa shiny hivi hivi hawajali kama wewe ni msapere, muembu, mmeru ama mkamba,hawajali hata character yako. to them wewe ni kikuyu na hawaezi kuamini juu hawaaminingi hao watu. na ujue ni watu wazima wako na akili. what we need is circumsicion of our minds not even our bodies.
