#BLACKLIVESMATTER

[Elong]

I agree, but that chap atop the wigwam thing certainly didn't look like he was along for moral support. Kinda have to wonder how you get yourself so emotionally involved in what is effectively someone else's problem.

He got on the telly though......mind you I expect they will all go to prison......

Although the obvious answer is he's in it for the attention, there's also the possibility he has a black wife, or someone killed his best mate who was black etc etc. There could be a reason for it, that's why I don't like to jump to conclusions on these matters.

Oh my, did you get them facts and figures straight off Donald Trump.

This is my favourite bit from your ukip words.

There are plenty of examples that show that colour isn't a bar to advancement in the US, but the majority prefer to stay in their ghettoes live on welfare and worship gang culture

Think I will listen to the people who live in the states and see it with their own eyes rather than a bigot.

Oh my (to use your patronising tone). That is typical of your sort, to immediately resort to calling anyone who doesn't agree with your own blinkered view of the world a "bigot" and a ukip supporter. Open your eyes and do some research of your own instead of just regurgitating the views of the mainstream media. There's a reason why the establishment are backing the likes of BLM (did you know that George Soros has arranged a $130million fund with his billionaire mates to fund BLM?) They aren't doing that to make lives better for American blacks, they are doing it to entrench their own positions. So long as the blacks are kept in a state of permamant resentment against "the man" there is no chance of them becoming a power in their own country, in fact they would be better off as slaves. At the moment they are doing everything that Martin Luther King (ever heard of him Moomin?) preached against, and they are being kept down by their own leadership.

So you're saying the Jews are to blame?

Those of you who think that the BLM movement is a force for good should take a look at the statistics of who kills blacks in the US. Most are killed by other black men not by white police, who actually kill twice as many whites.

You're mixing up raw numbers vs proportional numbers

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

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.

Point #1 I agree with.

#2 however shows you have very little idea, nor have enough first hand knowledge or researched context, else you'd realise that your premise has been debunked, significantly, many times over.

Look up the difference between cocaine and crack, sentences for each, and perpetrators of each. That is one example in many of how systemic racism puts white folk at an advantage.

 

[BigDunc'sFod]

All lives matter.

Not picking on you, just using this statement to highlight a point that any find hard to grasp, and that is the missing word in the Black Lives Matter name.

Is it not Only Black Lives Matter
It is Black Lives Matter Too

Subtle, but hopefully that helps.

Surely these idiots who entered the airport and sat on a runway should be facing terrorism charges.

Wow, you are now saying its Jewish business magnates funding them.

You are like an episode of South Park, but just unfunny.

Better off as slaves!!!

Wow.

My 2 cents.

The black lives matter is a genuine cause originated in America where black lives are treated differently. There is so many examples of black people being killed unnecessarily by police force when a similar white situation would end up without a casualty. But there is plenty more beyond that. I remember davenport chappelle or Chris rock telling a story where the media reported a white girl being kidnapped and at the same time a black girl had been kidnapped and the media ignored thst story. More so that the black girl actually fought back and escaped but no one media wise focused on it. They had preferential treatment to the skin colour.

Now this campaign has spread over here it is a bit of a joke. I fully back the cause in America but attitudes are different here. Skin colour isn't a major issue apart from areas sadly like sport. Away from that right now Muslims are the ones persecuted by ignorant people and yet people turn blind eye.

All lives matter. I just don't agree that a genuine cause should be piggy backed and therefore lost its direction over here.

Good post but I find that blm on America abit two faced. They kept going on about how the blacks who are shot about the police and they had protects and rallies. But they did not mention once about the policeman who was killed because he was black and a policeman and was killed by a black person who is a blm supporter.. did his life matter? Didn't seem to because he was a policeman

Lets look at some of blm's demands in their own words:

Financial support of Black alternative institutions including policy that subsidizes and offers low-interest, interest-free or federally guaranteed low-interest loans to promote the development of cooperatives (food, residential, etc.), land trusts and culturally responsive health infrastructures that serve the collective needs of our communities.

Reparations for the cultural and educational exploitation, erasure, and extraction of our communities in the form of mandated public school curriculums that critically examine the political, economic, and social impacts of colonialism and slavery, and funding to support, build, preserve, and restore cultural assets and sacred sites to ensure the recognition and honoring of our collective struggles and triumphs.

Election protection, electoral expansion and the right to vote for all people including: full access, guarantees, and protections of the right to vote for all people through universal voter registration, automatic voter registration, pre-registration for 16-year-olds, same day voter registration, voting day holidays, enfranchisement of formerly and presently incarcerated people, local and state resident voting for undocumented people, and a ban on any disenfranchisement laws.

Sooo redistribute wealth from one ('privileged')class to another ('opressed')(bourgeoisie, proles) , incorporate people into the state via AUTOMATIC REGISTRATION and impose voting for non citizens
There's a word for trying to force through this kind of policy through non-electoral means
That word is trotskyism, and during the second world war it made the holocaust look like a drop in the bucket

Maybe there is an issue with black people amd the police but this group is using that issue and its supporters as useful idiots to push communism

Bonus round: yay for segregation

Protection and increased funding for Black institutions including Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU’s), Black media and cultural, political and social formations.

Seperate social institutions
Didn't we decide those were BAD things some time ago?

 

[tmgc]

It's not real in terms of them getting killed but having worked in youth clubs in Brixton and Peckham a few years back there is deinfitely a difference in how some police treat black youths and white youths, especially with regard to randomly pulling them over for no logical reason other than they supposedly look shifty.

Proof here mate

 

[bol-uk]

Oppressing? Perhaps that is a bit harsh, but if you think black people are treated equal by the police, you are sorely mistaken.

Racial profiling is racism.

WITH REGARDS TO THE MET, 12% OF THE POPULATION OF LONDON IS BLACK BUT 46% OF STREET CRIME IS BY A BLACK PERSON (SOURCE, THE TELEGRAPH). IS RACIAL STEREOTYPING RACIST IF THE FIGURES STATE OTHERWISE?

Completely true. There is always two sides to any argument. Sadly This seems to get lost in the process because of the singular cause they are fighting for.

Wow.

Misrepresenting my words again. Look it up and find out where the funding is coming from, don't just believe everything the mainstream media tells you.

Better off as slaves? Read the whole sentence don't just cherry pick to make me out as some kind of nutter.
