Current Affairs George Floyd and Minneapolis Unrest

What privilege was I afforded then?

Let me ask you a question that I know how any American would answer...

All things being equal, would you rather have been born black than a white person in the UK?

Then cut it out with the Muhammad bashing.

I made no judgement. Just letting the anti slavery dude know. I thought he'd be interested.

Nice one.

Hey mate mind taking your hatred of other people and their creed to some other forum where it may be appreciated, like maybe stormfront or r/thedonald.

Cya

Just delivering facts.

Sorry if they make you uncomfortable.

 

[Specials]

What does this have to do with anything? Why exactly would you bring it up?

Well the anti slavery people should know!

Feel like I'm improving people.

I really couldn't care less. Not everything is racially motivated. I'm not racist.

Stop trying to transport the us problems I to the UK.

No one said you were racist and you are correct that "not everything is racially motivated" but you didn't really answer the question. IMO, you deflected.

If there were no racial bias in the UK then I don't think it's likely Goodison Park would have flown a banner in support of Moise Kean and not fly one for, say, Seamus Coleman.

What is your favourite Friends episode then?

How many times as a young child we’re you stopped by the police?

Now, take your situation and apply that to a black person growing up like that. It would be a lot different for them.

BTW, you are correct in that I have limited personal experience with the UK. It's partly why I asked the question the way that I did.

I have but one friend who is African (Nigerian) who has spent time in both the UK (student) and the US (professional - corporate lawyer). He's highly accomplished and does not carry a chip on his shoulder about how he's been treated in his life. But he has certainly shared some stories about shameful treatment both in the UK and US.

Completely false and bad faith post. I specifically engaged you with data and argumentation. To which your response has been crickets chirping.

I’ll respond to other inaccuracies and fallacious reasoning that you posted above at a later time.

And a right-wing Candace Owens supporter/surfer...That’s a new one.

Mate, everytime I log in there's been a lot of quoting/replying to my posts. Plus I didn't know he had me on ignore. I just responded directly off his post.

It took me while to find yours. Well played by the way. It's a great response. I'll reply later to that also.

I do not "support Candace Owens" and I wasn't the first to show a video of her in this thread. I find it interesting that there are so many black conservatives going against this narrative. Don't you find it interesting too? Don't you think it's healthy to see both sides of this argument?

Also. I don't know why people connect politics to sports. I'm not a right winger. I think there is more issues we'd agree on. I think the biggest problem in both countries is Class.

I once met a vegan yoga instructor in Bulgaria who was the biggest conservative you could ever meet.

I did answer. I couldn't care less if I was born white or black.

Racist people do exist, I just don't believe the UK has a huge racist problem. I think cultures are the issue in the UK, not skin colour.

Pineapple on pizza or no pineapple on pizza?

I don't care.

(it's not really an answer. it's a deflection.)

OK. Thanks.
