I've spent 10 years working around Greater Manchester, and have family living there, they tell me it's not safe for a white person to walk through places like Moss Side. I will believe people who live there as opposed to someone who's driven through the city centre.
And that's why he's locked up, same as the black people fighting police should be, same rules for all.
I'll tell you what, give me a street and i'll walk down it twice and if I make it back without being beaten up you can buy me a pint
Yes OK Lloyd St and upper Lloyd st, Manchester, when you going to do it, and film it until they take your phone.
The point they become Citizens, or have the right to vote, the right to loot, vanderlise, attack police, they will never have that right.
Well if you could just vacate where you live, and hand the keys over to them, you will find them in the prison camps, you've put them in.
Collective responsibility, you vote don't you. Maybe change the racist **** country you live in, get that right first, then tell everyone else how to do it
Everybody in Australia, who is a citizen is required to vote. We all vote black, white, green, yellow and purple.
Spoken like a good white person. There are exceptions to everything, of course. Yes, America elected a black president. A gentleman, decent human being. No scandals there. The right wingers had a field day with their outright racism towards him. I agree there are plenty of problems everywhere. I am concerned about the USA, my chosen country. There are deep rooted problems that have never been addressed properly. The legacy of slavery, which was brought to an end in the civil war in the 1860s (yet some idiots still display the confederate flag - a symbol of treason and slave domination), yet it was 100 years before a civil rights law was passed to ensure their freedom. The 1960s is only a generation away from us. A period of extreme violence in an attempt to keep "people in their place." Ongoing bad killings by police officers whose lives are not endangered in their situations. They cycle of poverty and jail time is very difficult to break. White privilege does not make it any easier, its just the reality. I'm sorry if that's a concept that is just too difficult to process.,
It's worse now, my Aunt used to live just off princess rd, it was fine in the daytime, walked to my first Leeds game at Main road from there, been Manchester International concert venue there as well, 30 years ago, every car on the main road had a window smashed in and robbed, when we came out, but that was then, It's worse now, every shop has to have metal roller shutters, most have it screened off inside as well to stop robbery, the place I work don't have any shops right in Moss side just one on the outskirts, yes we've been armed robbed in a daytime delivery, not me personally although I have delivered to the same shop. Look forward to tommo doing his walk at night, won't just give him a pint, will try get him a medal lol
So this applies to the right wingers who have come out to counter protest or do whatever they do, also? Just want to make sure I understand your viewpoint.
Are you seriously suggesting people who might be third or fourth generation should go live somewhere else because of a perceived injustice to them?
Britain isn't the USA Jonny, three people died at the hands of the police in the UK last year, and one of them was a terrorist stabbing people, while racism does and probably always will exist, it's nothing like America here.
