#Govanhill 🧵: A lone man with an aspiration to be a Mental Health “vlogger/advocate” youtuber for men has started patrolling Govanhill to “get the word out” about child sexual exploitation & general living standards of the area. The Good Samaritan, we know how this goes..
He went up many closes filming, but there was nothing to see in the “nice closes”. He then chose the worst closes to use as “evidence” (they are online and easy to find). Closes that have been condemned, that have no factor and are known to be owned by slum landlords.
During this he spoke about groups of people who are “filthy”.
Cue racism cloaked as the Good Samaritan.
The dog whistles started. The community is no stranger to racist tropes about “dirty foreigners” & general policing of non-white families, it is vile, threatening and not on.
We have a duty to call it out & challenge random people that show up “knowing” more than the community & professionals. They are inciting racial hatred and we cannot be silent on this. I trust the people that work and live there more than a 2 bob GI Joe, and so should you.
