Current Affairs London Protests

[dead_soft]

Double more whites get killed by police each year for the last 4 years

Higher rate per capita for black people. And the per capita rate grows in police responses to non-violent crimes

 

[Billy Dean]

Never knew this, wow.

YEs they were paid 20 million back in the 1800s which was a fair whack back then

 

[dead_soft]

I mean if you hate this country and all the racists and gammons who reside in it - why not move somewhere better?

Just does my head in the amount of self loathing Brits who carry on like this place is some intolerant hell hole yet they are more than happy living here whilst saying so.

If you have nothing good to say about our history, culture or traditions then why not move elsewhere?

What quite spectacular toss. If people don't have the ability or desire to move they should just put up with it all? Who, in this thread, has said they can't find anything good to say about the country?

 

[ForeverBlue92]

Where have I said any of this?

Heads gone mate. It’s like the daily mail exploding all over the screen.

You don’t know what you’re talking about and just use this thread to spout anti left wing rhetoric.

Being a working class scouser there is alot about this country I dont like and agree with but I still have pride in our war efforts and Churchill as a leader (regardless of him as a person) I still have pride living in this country that exercises freedom of speech and a country that gives me a good chance of living a healthy life with a roof over my head, food in my belly and the chance of employment which sadly many others around the world are not fortunate to have.

I just find it baffling how people seem to hate everything about a countries society, history yet choose to still live in it.

None of the allies could have won the war without the others... and all of them have an unhealthy obsession with it to this day.

Only one of them, however, gave millions of lives and it wasn't Britain.

China lost millions as well mate.

 

[Papa Shango]

Russia won WW2 for us mate.

To be fair the Americans stepped in to stop the racist oppressor.

And then went back home to continue their own racial oppression.

As did everyone come to think about it...

 

[Disgruntledgoat]

Fair enough. I was referencing the European theatre. My bad.

 

[JLW]

Higher rate per capita for black people. And the per capita rate grows in police responses to non-violent crimes

So the ratio is pretty even then? Therefore these protests should be only in America against police brutality! Because it’s not racism if whites are getting Killed in the same way.

 

[Papa Shango]

Not at all - I just know a self loather when I see one.

Nobody chooses where they were born.

I find nationalism to be a bit weird to be honest.

Be thankful for being born in one of the less rubbish nations.

Mad isn't it, so unbelievable in fact I reckon you might just be talking hyperbolic crap

Nope, never said anything about the ratio being even

You've always stunk weirdly EDL to me for some reason.

 

[LinekersLegs]

I don’t know if I’m being ignorant but why is this all kicking off big style right now? Cops have been killing black folk in America multiple times every year.

Probably a confluence of things on top of the fact that George Floyd’s death was so vile that even the usual apologists couldn’t wave it away as a “justifiable homicide”

There had been several recent high profile events, two with video, that all hit the news when more time available to watch them.

City Leaders Demand Woman in Viral Central Park Video Face Charges for False Accusation

Less than 72 hours after a video went viral showing a white woman phoning the NYPD and falsely accusing a black man of threatening her in Central Park, some city leaders are calling for her to be arrested

African Americans have also been hit particularly hard by coronavirus, both the disease itself and the economic impacts.

 

[Papa Shango]

Why are fans of most London clubs mostly more conservative and pro Brexit?

Dunno, don't know if that is strictly true either but London itself tends to be more Labour and Remain, like a lot of the big cities.

African Americans have as a community been hit particularly hard by coronavirus, both the disease itself and the economic impacts.

Yeh but did the same sort of worldwide BLM uproad occur say back in 2009 when the vid came out of that cop shooting some in the back in the subway? Just feels strange why suddenly, when we're not allowed to mingle with people, this is the one incident everyone rallies behind.
