    Racism will never be eradicated, only improved, it's come a long way, and still has a long way more to go, the Marxist group BLM have imo made it worse.

    Of course it doesn’t mean he meant it. I’ve no idea if he’s just a touchy feely type bloke, getting smeared or a sex pest ... neither would surprise me.

    I think some of the apologies for 'b***king up' were stomach churning.... 'I realise now it was inappropriate' etc. Either you think it's harmless fun or you think it's racist/in poor taste. You have to be pretty ignorant to need the BLM movement to enlighten your judgement - agree it looked like pitiful self interest career saving from most of them.

    Agree with most of that. I have sympathy with the sentiments of BLM as a concept but don’t particularly like the name, or the way it’s been hijacked.

    But the whole Marxist trouble makers thing? It’s a good headline. Its a shame that a legitimate cause gets given a bad press, that some extremists but mainly common criminals hide behind protests to cause trouble and alt right factions also get in to stir the pot. Whilst politicians and thought leaders chuck sound bites around for their followers to latch on to.

    Here’s what appears to me to be a balanced opinion on BLM and Marxism.

    BLM had the ched zone in Seatle for several weeks, they started extortion of White owned shops first day at gunpoint, and started murdering people within a week, no right wing, no one else at fault just them.
    Run by a handful of millionaires, who don't pay tax but donate millions to the Democrats.
    6 shootings in 10 days of no police utopia, so BLM have killed more Blacks than the Police.

    You honestly believe that Milky, if you do give me a couple of thousand and I will make you a millionaire. The Police dept was shut, and for 10 days Police weren't allowed in, Democrats locally in power stopped any Police interference, 6 people were shot, some killed in a BLM controlled area, that isn't newspaper talk, people were shot and killed.

    I'm quoting from a source regarded as pretty independent. There were deaths, and any kind of police free state is madness in my opinion. But that's not the same as BLM orchestrating violence and murdering people is it?

    So show me your source for extortion and BLM orchestrated murder. I'm happy to read it - i genuinely don't have a horse in the race. Just interested in the truth. The articles i've read paint a different picture to what you say. Essentially started very peacefully, turned to rat after a few weeks as it became a magnet for trouble makers and low lifes.

    One of the victims for example claimed he was shot by an alt-right group.

    There was armed BLM running the area, if you believe there was right wing groups in the area, think he said KKK lol yes I'm sure there were hooded KKK,guys in the BLM area,and santa with a few fairies.
    BLM pay thugs to run their protests and the chez area, have you seen their latest pictures of armed mobs in combats with sub machine guns, no one does anything in there area,they took control and responsibility.

    I was working yesterday evening and couldn't get on the site late last night.
    It's not conflict if it's written, it's opinions. I'm not expecting to change anyone's mind but, as I said, I enjoy the debate so I'm not sure what you mean.
    I was recommended to leave the PL board so did as was suggested in case I got banned. It wasn't fearing conflict.

    I think the breaking point on the PL thread was Fox News. That exploded. I said that even though they are unapologetically Pro Trump they will offer an alternative view whereas CNN or MSNBC don't.
    This exploded even though, and I stand by it, it is true. Just this morning I watched an interview with the Biden campaign manager where she is given plenty of time to answer. On their discussion pieces they will have a Democrat.
    This does not happen on the others. Watch Chris Cuomo interview Kayleigh McEnany, "if you're not going to admit that Trump is a liar then I have no respect for you" or words to that effect.

    You can see why I got banned:emoticon-0169-dance

    I said Biden is a joke because he's a 78 year old career politician.



    This guy is credible. I don't agree with a lot of his policies but he is coherent, he's a successful businessman and he has democratic policies the people could support.
    He wouldn't be hiding away but he's had to get behind Biden.
    The Democrats need to wake up
