@Prevenger17: You’ve finally been able to give a well thought out post that actually contributes to a thread. I am impressed. I just hope it’s not like the rest of the others were instead of addressing the information, it's just paragraph after paragraph that simply attacks me. You know. That same old worn out tactic.

Look mate, I was going to have another Lol at you but maybe you're right and the snide comments are unnecessary. But honestly, you come off as very immature in your posts, and you probably don't yet conceive the extent to which you do. I imagine you're probably in your mid-twenties at most and have been dining out on various thinky podcasts for a couple of years that you feel have given you all the answers, because all your arguments are clearly derivative. We've heard them all. Even your username makes me ruefully shake my head a little.


Well. I wish I was in my mid-20’s. I was travelling around the world looking for the best surf spots. And if I were in my mid-20’s I’d react a lot different to the vitriol directed at me.

Please explain how my arguments are clearly derivative.

No need for the snide comments yet you cannot resist even having a go at my username now. lol

You're posting irrelevant stats

Please explain how these stats are irrelevant to the conversation.
Please explain how black people being over represented in crime does not correlate to being over represented in victims of police force.




The conclusion most people are drawing from recent events is that there are genuine problems experienced by black people across the developed world that white people generally don't encounter as much.

Ok. Since you mention the western world. Let's bring this back home to the UK.

White people in the UK are 25% more likely to die in police custody than Black people.



We conclude this, because mass riots and protests don't happen in a vacuum.

No, they happen because every time a black person is murdered by cop, it's plastered all over your tv screens. Everytime a white person is murdered by cop, no one knows about it. Which is bizzare because white people die in far greater numbers than black people by cop.

Anyone would think there was an agenda called identity politics at play. Which has divided the left. And has the left focusing on race rather than class.



We conclude this because we see countless videos corroborating it.

Yes on tv. Now search for the white men and kids killed by American police. That you don't see on TV.


It's not like there isn't a historical precedent for high level discrimination against black people

That is true. No one denies it.

, we literally only started addressing it as a society in the last hundred years or so and have made good, but unfinished, progress.

I disagree with the bold. Unless you can show me legislation that discriminates against Black people.


So we listen. Instead of regurgitating "facts", try doing the same. Whatever right vs. left culture war you think you're a part of is a myth, propagated by people who make a lot of money from it. You're getting nothing for it, so you might as well be a decent person and stop getting so wound up about large events none of us can fully comprehend.


Lot of projecting going on in this post. I'm not the one attacking people. I'm not the one wound up. I'm not the one middle fingering every post. Which is the most immature thing you can do. But people are lining up on here doing it. Yet I get called immature. Wow.

You think that I’m not a decent person because I do not subscribe to the notion that the UK and USA are institutionally racist. This is because you have the insufferable modern leftist view that you are absolutely right.

Thankfully, There are plenty of black people in the USA going against this narrative and know that they are not the victims. Yet middle class White people love to tell them that they are.

Prev has you on ignore mate, but don't worry there are still plenty of other people laughing at your post
 
1.) If there is any echo chamber that I'm part of, it's clearly in the Current Affairs forum of GOT. Filled with a massive far left clique.

It's an Everton forum. Maybe you should read the room better?

A lot of people on here are going to be on the left (or far left as you call them).
