#BLACKLIVESMATTER

[harry]

I don't know why my post is on yours mate. Maybe my big fingers and a small phone.

But it only seems to be an issue if its white on black. Trying to get something by playing the victim even when the evidence doesn't back up the allegations. It was like the bullcrap with the Oscar's, it started off a 'non-White' but soon turned into a black, white issue.

I can't speak for others, but I never take a persons skin colour into account.

All lives therefore matter, to me at least, regardless of colour.

Colour prejudice should not exist on any level, from any race.

I don't think the majority of people do mate.

It's funny how us white folks in the UK can judge a minority in another country and even use stats which if truth be told can be used to show institutional racism.

But truth be told I'm white, I have no idea what it's like to face racism so I'm not going to attempt to have an idea what's it like but remember the 80's and remember what Maggie Thatchers Tories tried to do and kill Liverpool off as a city.

I judge everyone by how they are, religion, colour, sexuality, disability doesn't matter to me.

Far more relevant for me is 'is this person nice or horrible'?

Why, as humans in general, we need to pigeonhole other humans into little categories is beyond me.

Treat others how you expect others to treat you. Sounds easy doesn't it. I agree with what you are saying about pigeonholeing people through race or religion when individual personalities is what is important.

There are different levels of racism, I think most people will have been guilty of what Louis CK refers to as mild racism.

Noisy?

They paraded through a university library shouting while people were studying or just enjoying a nice quiet minute before having to carry on with the rest of their day. One eye witness described the ideal as "quite noisy".

God he's funny. How does he manage to say such outrageous stuff and not only get away with it, but you somehow don't even feel bad for laughing?! Genius.

These arguments aren't stable because there is a fundamental bias in the underlying assumptions.

Here is a good primer; these events are not unusual.

Sorry, genuinely don't understand what you are saying.

What I'm saying is that there's an undercurrent of lack of opportunity and therefore a lack of realistic aspiration for minorities in America. As such, they disproportionately fall into crime, drug usage and poverty. That's the underlying cause of the issues; which makes much more sense than simply saying anyone who pulls on a police uniform actively wants to shoot black people.

That isn't based on assumptions either or bias - there's many stats that show how blacks don't enjoy the same societal privileges as whites in America.

There's a lot of truth in what you say inthat it suits the powers that be to keep racial tension bubbling along, to keep the ethnic minorities in welfare dependency etc. As I posted before, BLM is being funded by some very rich and powerful people, but not for the purpose of empowering the minorities but to keep the racial tension going.

It's a load of lies and Murdoch has never lost an election.

I've got a lovely single malt to open when that get dies.
