George Floyd/Black Lives Matter Protests


Recommended Posts

But if they weren't committing crimes, they wouldn't be in jail...
Unless you think there's something about black people that makes them commit more crimes then you're on to a dangerous path here.

The structural racism exists in housing policies, education, employment figures etc.

Think about what you're suggesting...

Mmm hmm.

But if 80% of prisoners were black and black people only committed 10% of crimes. That would be something worth knowing and investigating.

Maybe they're the only ones who get caught...

Two posters seem to have got out of the very serious side of the bed this morning.

Is that the 'just joking' defence?

You must be a bundle of laughs on a night out.

More than wildebeest? That's a bit animalist.

It's always depressing as f**k when you see someone who's been around for many decades not seeing the obvious subtext on issues like this for whatever reason.
Are you meaning the standard "aye but surely all lives matter" types?

If so I agree. I had this at work yesterday. Started off as a conversation about BLM and ended up with why isnt there a straight pride day aswell.

I started off arguing the point but the tide of men in their 40s and 50s shouting the odds was too strong and it became a very depressing listen.

I wish folk would just ditch the word Zionism when talking about taking Palestinian land. It's so loaded with antisemitism whether someone means it or not.

Just say taking Palestinian land it's much clearer what the beef is.

The term is used within Israeli politics. It originated in debates between European Jews at the end of the 19th century. 

What it means is perfectly clear.

Ridiculous this happened but when they were interviewing the neighbours and the neighbour started bubbling, get a grip.

"Help, there's a black man dancing in the street!"  :lol:

Curtain-twitchin' Karen must be devastated that they played her voice on the TV for all the neighbours to hear.
