Climate change is a racist issue in the sense that, like every other bad thing that happens on this planet, it impacts on the lives of the the poor more than it does the rich.
And as the poorest countries on earth are in Africa, then more black people are going to be affected than white people.

I summed it up in another thread a while back when i mentioned that a black cop had been killed. This chap was not mentioned by BLM or Beyonce etc.
They just have chips on their shoulders and want to be treated better than others. For Beyonce and others like her it promotes her records...its ridiculous and i dont understand why in the UK these people arent just arrested on the spot for racial slurs against non-blacks (its basically racism against white people).
Then to see these white idiots at the airport...should have been arrested on terrorism or similar charges. Its insane...its like they think its cool or have been brainwashed, none of them could have jobs surely.
Then finally i see that hate preacher get 5.5 years LOL he should be given the death penalty or life imprisonment for treason.

i get the impression we (all of we) were more colourblind a decade or so ago.
identity politics is a poisonous movement as it divides people, defined by how one group differs to others, but not in a culturally-enriching way (like it should be) but rather in a confrontational look-at-me way...fitting for this era of selfie-love and social networking.
I've noticed my own black friends, some of whom i've known for yonks, are speaking more about their blackness and black culture. This culture of identity is encouraged by the 'liberal' side, of which I always thought I was onboard until I realised its blind proponents spout just as much ideological bollocks as those who identify as conservative. You can thank the migrant crisis of the last 12 months for opening many people's eyes to the Left's fatal flaw: that they believe their truth is right regardless of evidence to the contrary.
Martin Luther King and Morgan Freeman, both statesmen of black people if you will, both agree(d) that people aren't defined by the colour of their skin, but rather by their actions and quality of their character. We seem to be regressing away from this humanist message. The obscenely-huge numbers of black-on-black crime doesn't help.
On the other hand: the relatively recent history of slavery and inequality remains raw, and there genuinely is a hell of a lot of open racism from white people against blacks (much more US than UK, tho'...UK is actually a world-leader in race relations). There is a genuine problem of trigger-happy US cops literally murdering innocent black people. There is the problem of ghettos and overfilled jails and there is also Homan Square, which is a blight on humanity as much as Guantanamo Bay is.
BLM is a naturally-understandable reaction to this horrible on-the-other-hand stuff. It may not be the most helpful reaction.
Mixing is the key, but it will take social will and a few generations...

Absolute sh1te.
Climate change will affect everyone in it's own way. China and India are heavily to blame for this problem and, if Africa were to become industrialised (which it wishes to do), it too would be at fault.
Citing an Inner city airport as a cause to protest BLM is farcical, the population of Newham (where the airport is located) is Asian (mostly),white and black. I don't see no asian protesters.
It may well be a climate issue but it is in no way a racial issue.

Africans create plenty of their own problems by continuing to reproduce at insane rates in areas clearly not fit for it
You lost me at that first line.
If you want to discuss owt with me, keep it civil or you may as well just tell it to your cat.

Why let facts get in the way of anything Pete?
There's a special group of people called 'Social Justice Warriors' who spend their lives being offended on behalf of others. Even in the first few pages of this thread you'll see how quickly they attack people for presenting an alternative point of view, despite the facts not actually backing up their argument. Tedious bunch that you can't actually have a debate with, they tend to scream racist at you and cause a stir rather than addressing any reasonable points of view you bring, or they just disappear entirely as you've found here.

The police are institutionally racist, been shown in many reports. They in turn attract bullies to work on the front line and the circle perpetuates.
Better psychological screening of Police Recruits would have a positive effect.

They won't give you a baton if you couldn't do some damage with it and any cleverer, then they wouldn't obey some of the orders ;-)

Sorry, but I was referring to what you had posted, I thought it was sh1te.No need to get upset about it. If I had thought it was brilliant I would have said so.

Too true. When it's people who can't defend themselves (Usually the disabled - more often than not, the poor) then I can understand it.
When it's an ethnic group (And the one doing the [invariably overzealous] defending isn't part or representative of said ethnic group) then no. It's too convenient for them to label the opposing view as bigotry in that instance.
Black lives matter will be around for as long as people can make money out of it.
