Black Lives Matter

Great, so that was the end of racism. Good job UK.

The Labour party is literally full of people from all different backgrounds, nationalities, religions and they charge white people more to get into their events.

No there is still racism and slavery in Africa and the Middle East but no one will talk about that.

Actually, it is everywhere!. Racism is stupid as are the people who practice it. If you really think your better than someone cos of the colour of your skin, you have a problem.

There are issues in all cultures that need calling out, absolutely, but first, we all have to be on a level playing field. Right now, there are still divides with race and wealth.

Agreed. I don’t think it will ever happen though man. hopefully some day though.

I voted labour and for Corbyn but they had no chance against the class of tory cunt spin.

I don’t think it will happen either, someone literally has to say, “i’m sorry we were wrong” and the other side has to say “cool, we forgive you people, lets move on”. But to get everyone on the same page and to stick to this agreement is impossible. There will be no living down the past but hopefully we can push it on.
The thing is, one side, i.e. BLM have pretty much said the reply before any apology but have been fired back at with “ALM, why are you so important to have your own race movement”

We should just get people of every race and age give them skateboards and bomb a big ass hill together and see if we don’t like each other a bit more at the bottom :+1:

Nah, seriously though you’re right and it is shit that it is like this.

Cool but dude, your initial opinion when you came in was fucked. Maybe just think about that. God knows we all need help with it being as priviledged as we are.
We have have had various debates on here recently, trying to be the most unracist non racist on here, all while coming off slightly racist. Pretty crazy times.

I don’t agree with BLM in the slightest I think they’re hypocrites, just the fact that their group has killed a black police officer shows their intentions. They don’t care about George, the officers who killed him have been given life and still they’re burning down cities and attacking people. I don’t have a problem with black people and never have but I have a problem with BLM.

Or could that be “the way BLM appears to have been hijacked”?

You did steam in a bit hot and seem a bit cunty with that introductory post although you seem to have mellowed with some level of reason in later posts.

Yeah the way the movement has been hijacked by these dickheads all causing murder and taking it away from it’s original message. I didn’t agree with their 10 demands for white people in the beginning either.

First statues, then tv series or certain films, now it’s the removal of ‘racist’ food branding that will help black people…

Didn’t even reply to him so I don’t even know what you’re talking about there, I read the first post and ignored the rest.

I find it patronising and the sort of thing that is yet another sideshow that will not help to address any issues black people face.

Removing that branding now doesn’t speak of any sensitivity from the company at all, just a desperation not to offend.

Well that’s your opinion.

If the company had really been worried and really cared then the product would not have existed for many, many years.

It’s the realisation that things are offensive.

That’ll help equally qualified black people secure promotions their white counterparts get or keep them safe from police brutality or prevent racist attacks.

Well done Quaker Oats, pat on the back for you guys.

My opinion is I give a fuck about things that will actually help real black people. Not this sort of thing that is probably the result of social media shaming and/or fear than anything else.
