#BLACKLIVESMATTER

[SerenityNigh]

I never said that it didn't exist. I've accepted that there are a number of intermingling social problems which mean black people in the USA are living poorer lives than white people, leading to far higher crime rates. I wouldn't call it racism as such, but it is definitely more difficult for black people to make something of their lives over there.

What I'm trying to say is that BLM is a joke of an organisation because it blames supposed "police racism" for the deaths of black youths, despite the fact that it can be easily explained with a bit of common sense/simple stats. I'm not even going into the wider problems faced by black Americans because they are far too complicated. BLM exacerbates these problems black people have by inflaming race relations. They are a negtive force in every aspect, built on lies to spread more lies. That doesn't help anyone.

The merits of the BLM protesters aside, I think if you spent some time with black families in America you might change your mind on the benefits of public discourse on the issues of racism, et al. I've not known any black men or women asking for BLM to stop because the racism is all-of-a-sudden getting worse.

Americanisms are totally rad man, they're stoked to be a part of this thread.

This is how my cousins rip me for being Canadian.

That's it mate, blame the police for the ills of the world.

There's some bad ones, most do a fantastic job. Try that argument with the wife and kids of PC David Philips, run over and killed in Birkenhead not long ago, while trying to stop thieves.

That's not really what I've done is it and what has that example got to do with met police harassing the kids I work with?

Mate, since 1990, 11 black and ethnic minority persons have been shot by UK police, people trying to compare and affiliate our situation with that in the US are needy, attention seeking individuals with their own personal axe to grind.

The issue in the US is real, the issue here just isn't

Shot. How many have died in police custody or during contact with the police from other means?

146 custody deaths since 1990 (out of 772) were BAME

Why's what? That he became a dave angel type?

No idea mate. Probly to either have them over or try to get his end away...or both.

He was always bumming a pint here & there off his mates. One snide tit he is. He asked a lad I used to bevvy with now & again (Not very bright lad, but dead sound all the same) to borrow £50 from his arl fella so he (the 'protestor' - I dunno if I'm allowed to name him personally @mods?) could join the lad & his mates on a night out, telling him he'd pay his arl fella back.

Never did. Then tried to 'enforce' the debt one night in the rubber-dub...Until I told him that I now owned the debt - and gave him a 'reminder' to pay me.

Lad didn't get his money back, or his money's worth, come to think of it.

No. Why you are anti fracking....

Have any BLM supporters actually considered why black people are shot disproportionately to their population? I'll give you a clue. It isn't racism. There are two key reasons:

1. Many cops in America are poorly trained and panic in difficult, dangerous situations. That isn't racism.
2. Black Americans commit roughly 5x more jail-worthy crime than white people in the USA. Thinking logically, you will find that almost all of these shootings by police have happened during arrests. If black people are committing more crime, they will obviously be arrested more, statistically hugely increasing their chances of being killed in an encounter with police.

Don't get me wrong, most of the killings are great injustices. However, they aren't racial injustices.

This idea of "racist" shootings by police is mainly caused by groups like BLM getting loads of media coverage from their ridiculous fact-shy protests, as well as the almost inevitable rioting after an incident, drawing more attention to it. In 2015, police killed nearly twice as many whites than blacks in the USA, but you wouldn't be able to name a single white victim. There simply isn't the media coverage, for the reasons cited above.

Police aren't oppressing black people. The social problems that cause these huge crime rates have nothing to do with the police.

Read their policy directives and it soon becomes apparent what they're about - pushing marxism under this cause


Also they support segregation

It's a no from me and if i find them blocking the road infront of me im really not stopping

There's a lad what used to live by me become one of them 'swampy' types. Seen him on the telly at the Barton Moss site with the rest of the unwashed, protesting about the fracking (Which I agree with btw).

Thing is, the little monkey head used to think he was an 'enforcer' for his loan-shark & copper's-nark of an arl fella. Beating up on the vulnerable. He's also had a load of his 'mates' over for dough as well. I'd have grassed him right up to the rest of them if I'd been there after slapping him about (again).

1:42 - he's on the left, blue hat, lighting the ciggy/rollie. Rat...Him and his simianly....I mean similarly, monkey-headed family.

Do his crustie mates know about his very un left wing tendencies. I'm sure they'd love to know all that ?

You cant argue with far leftists - theyre far too emotionally invested to the point that it's an identity rather than a position
At that point arguements just entrench the position

We covered it in the social modules of my degree
