    I haven't seen anyone on here say there is no racism but have discussed that that there isn't systemic racism.

    I'm struggling to see your point now

    Not one person has said that but the accusation keeps being repeated without any proof.

    It sometimes seems the failure to agree with anything and. everything BLM automatically makes you a racist ....

    Same here: can we not accept that racism is really, really horrible and nasty?

    It is real

    Is it systemic -yes I believe so

    Should you wish to take this further, I believe what you are looking for ought to be found in the annals of academia supported by painstaking evidence-based research ....rather than @Shameless. Then again ****it you don't have to x

    Mate, there isn't a poster on these boards that doesn't believe racism is real and nasty.


    Systemic racism, I don't believe is rife in the UK

    Has anyone not agreed.

    It's as if you believe you've convinced people.

    You haven't in my case, I've always believed that.

    Then fine, nobody is compelling you to do so and we can agree to disagree

    Not as far as I am aware - as for the rest I trust you're not telling me what I think? Now that would be silly

    I totally agree.

    The phrase 'systemic racism' reminds me of Feng Shui ...

    ... sounds impressive, makes the believer feel superior but is impossible to prove or disprove.

    I keep asking for an explanation, rather than the repetition of the phrase ....

    ... nothing so far.

    So you know all about it, totally believe in it and lecture people on it but can't explain it ...

    ... great contribution, thanks.

    No, that's not the reason

    In part because my understanding is, its a more complex question than can be taken at face value and if people really want an answer the world of Google is at hand. however the main reason is because its a closed question and there are possibly better ones to ask

    In which case it's probably better not to keep asking people if they believe in systemic racism ...
