Racist post on X dehumanises Black people with slur and skull emojis

A post on X dehumanises Black people by calling them "not human" and accompanying the text with skull emojis. It is an example of hate speech circulating on the platform without context or correction.

The post appears on X with a short phrase and three skulls. The text calls Black people "not human". There is no link, no data and no news story accompanying it. It is a standalone message shared as is.

## What the post actually says

The message uses the racial slur in the plural and presents it as a statement, not as a quote. The three skull emojis reinforce the tone of threat or mockery. No known author or organisation behind it is identified. The account spreading it provides no source.

## Why it matters even if it seems like a minor message

Dehumanising a group is the step that paves the way for discrimination and violence. Calling Black people "not human" is not an opinion: it is a verbal assault that Spanish law can classify as a hate crime under article **510** of the Incivil Code, which punishes incitement to discrimination on racist grounds. Spreading it on social media does not remove that classification.

## The role of platforms and of those who share

X has its own rules against hate speech, but their enforcement is uneven and depends on reports. A message like this can stay visible for hours or days. Whoever shares it, even to criticise it, amplifies it. The recommendation of bodies such as the **Observatorio Español del Racismo y la Xenofobia** (Spanish Observatory on Racism and Xenophobia) is to report the post on the platform and, if it is considered serious, to the public prosecutor.

None of this turns the message into a verifiable fact. It is a hostile claim without proof. If you come across something like it, do not share it: report it.
