Off Topic OLOF's political thread

No those emojis are for my blood pressure

 

Toon or Burnley ?

Probably a draw is best for us.

 

Hard one to call. A draw would be a good result for us, but Burnley are dogged and may nick it. I don't see many goals in the game. So probably a 3.3er

 

You talk like a shut up book ffs

 

How do black people get a raw deal from the establishment of this country? Being totally honest I don't see it, so if you can let me know the specifics we can protest against it together.
Being a white male I just don't know what it is.

 

If David lammy and Diane Abbott can get to the top rung anyone black can

 

In case anyone is waiting with baited breath, as usual, I'm not expecting a reply.
Virtue Signaller - You just don't understand!
Me - Ok, explain it to me.
VS - I shouldn't have to explain it to you.
Me - please do. I honestly don't know what you mean.
VS - that's the problem with you people. You don't want to understand....
Me - Understand what?
VS - If you had to suffer it maybe you'd understand
Me - Understand what!
VS - It's just not worth talking to you people...

 

So you’re saying a person of colour who feels that this nation still has elements of racism and institutional bias has to list all the experiences they’ve had throughout their life that’s lead them to feel like that, to you, a white man, before you’ll accept that they have a right to that opinion? They have to justify **** all to you.

 

I'm not saying that at all. I'm asking for the specific areas of the establishment that discriminate against black people because I don't see them. I didn't question whether there were or weren't institutional bias, I said that, as a white male, I don't see them. I asked so that once we have identified them we can fight against them.
I don't see the institutional bias so please educate me.

 

And just to be clear my alter ego in this exchange is a virtue signaller, not a person of colour

 

You would argue against any point he made, so you’re being completely disingenuous imo.

 

And you know this how exactly?

Oh and labelling him a virtue signaller merely reinforces my previous point btw.

 

If anyone identified an area of our establishment that had institutional bias I would stand next to anyone opposing it. I might argue whether it is actually institutional bias but if it is then of course I wouldn't
My point is that no one has pointed one out.

You believe that this country is institutionally racist so give me just one example, please.

 

I've no idea what you mean. This exchange literally sums up our conversation so far

 

I haven’t passed comment on the subject and have no intention of doing so.

 

It’s not a complicated question, how do you know he’s not a person of colour?

 

Virtue Signaller - You just don't understand!
Me - Ok, explain it to me.
VS - I shouldn't have to explain it to you.
Me - please do. I honestly don't know what you mean.
VS - that's the problem with you people. You don't want to understand....
Me - Understand what?
VS - If you had to suffer it maybe you'd understand
Me - Understand what!
VS - It's just not worth talking to you people...

 

You posted that earlier, it was pointless **** the first time, and has no relevance to my post whatsoever. Try reading the actual words written rather than the ones you’d like to see, that might help.

 

Because a person of colour will be specific about things he or she has experienced in their life whereas a Virtue Signaller just wants to be a better person than others for defending hm or her.

 

So you don’t know then, thanks for clearing that up.
