Black Lives Matter

[Oli Wagkz]

You've never seen a group of lads and assumed that they're gay?

Ahhh so stereotyping. Sound.

Let me take a moment here.......

should I or should I not?

Go on then, I’ll ask... at the risk of being racist....

Are you black?

White.

 

[walesie]

Do white lives matter? 3 white people just got stabbed to death by a terrorist & the country/media is still more concerned about a black bloke in america being killed.

Where was the pundits & players ranting about their deaths?

Black people dying seems alot more important than white people to me.

f***ing hell

This. In the States at least, the evidence is that, from a number of perspectives, that black lives matter less than white lives. Even over here, evidence suggests that BAME people are more likely to be subjected to stop and search, etc.

The numbers that I saw suggested you're more likely to be killed by police in the USA if you're white.

There's a reason why stop and searches that happen to white people are just stop and searches.

There's a reason why stop and searches that happen to black people occasionally end in that person being dead.

Over the past 20 years there's been an average of 4 (four) fatal shootings by police in the UK per year and that includes terrorists getting shot. Is this really one of the biggest issues our society faces?

Politics Forum this Bollix of a thread.

Chicago has had over 10,000 murders in the past 20 years (mostly black people being killed by other black people) and nobody gives a fuck. A white police officer kills a black man without cause (a very rare event) and there's hell on all over the world. It's all politics I'm afraid, people pushing agendas and the masses lap it up.

Nobody gives a fuck? Eh? You tend to find crime is in the most poverished areas. Just a coincidence it's blacks? Fuck do you think the whole movement is about?

White.

Well the man in your avatar isn’t.
What a fucked up species we are.

Black people occasionally end up dead from stop and searches in this country?

It's not as bad here, people need to get a grip ffs.

The numbers that I saw suggested you're more likely to be killed by police in the USA if you're white.

Wrong. As a %.

Things will hopefully calm down once lockdown is fully lifted.
Those protesting for BLM a few weeks ago will be out again for the next extinction rebellion protest or the next anti capitalist rally. It’s what they do ....beats working for a living.
The blacks in London might see a bit of a change in stop and search for a while but will continue to knife each other .
The real losers in this little folly is the BAME around the rest of the country who will have every local racist gunning for them.
Everyone should be treat equal and by and large the UK does a good job. Bits need improving undoubtedly but we have come along way since the 70’s and 80’s.
The rhetoric being fed from the likes of the BBC that constantly pushes diversity to the point where it isn’t diverse to the white British person .
Every other advert has mixed race couples, revamped classics like Scrooge at Xmas and war of the worlds recently had mixed race couples that were not in the originals .
For a nation that is 90% white and 3% black there feels a total imbalance on the way things are being forced onto people.
There is a real danger that more and more folk are getting fed up with being labelled a racist if they dont agree with all this positive discrimination and the losers will sadly be the minorities.

Nothing should be done to the pilot or the bloke who paid for it.
We still live in a free country last time I checked.
Poor taste but nothing illegal and a dangerous presidence to set if action is taken against them.

Unfortunately I've had to like this.

 

[Ready salted]

Imagine thinking this

Edit. Actually forgot, got told all the stats that point towards an issue are actually down to black peoples woe is me attitude.

Thought I had you on ignore.

They seem more arsed about black people being killed by white police officers to me. I've never seen protests of this scale against black on black violence (which accounts for the vast majority of black people who get murdered).

Not wrong if you take that percentage against crimes committed.

 

[Rip Van Fish]

f***ing hell man.


Yep. That's the reason for the BLM as White lives already appear to matter.

Like they did in Reading
Like they did at Manchester Arena
like they did in the London attacks
Like they did when folk were getting their heads cut off for a good laugh

 

[dangermows]

Hope it calms down. We've already seen that whities come off worse when fighting kicks off.

Yes mate
Life is oh so cheap when they are knifing each other

As a % of black people vs white people, yes.

Now do % of black people who come into contact with the police vs white people who come into contact with the police.

Why did the blm movement not start protesting about real poverty and millions of African children dying from disease and starvation every year, mainly because of corrupt leaders?

I thought it was about systematic racism in the American police despite data showing to the contrary?

Perhaps it should be about government reform to tackle impoverished areas?
