Waleed Aly applauds Africans Standing Up Against White Privilege

[icyfroth]

The Project host was trending on Twitter on Monday after XYZ published an article about him titled: 'Waleed Aly applauds African gang who assaulted young girl at train station for 'courageously standing up to white privilege''.

The basis of the story was entirely made up, as proven by a tag above the headline which identified it as satire.

Goes to show the power of fake news...

And you've bought into the ignorance by using it as a thread title, when another title would have been more prudent.

It's not fake news, that's Trump talk. It was a satirical article. And the petition attracted 163 signatures - how powerful.

Well icyfroth, I quite like Walid Ally and his wife Susan. Refreshing to know that the story was made up and I wouldn't have thought Mr. & Mrs. Ally would be inciting anything like that. Anyway, as you know, you and I agree on many issues and a few others we see from a different perspective. And some people you think are OK-ish I do not like one bit. That's all cool.

And I support your right to title any thread you like.
