    Wouldn't argue with any of that at all.

    This has been constructive, civilised and considered, so I'm tapping out of this conversation before someone comes along and changes that.

    I was pondering a question the other day after reading an article concerning racism and BLM.

    Someone posed the question of how much BLM would protest if a black policeman killed a 'Chinese Floyd' in a racially motivated arrest ....

    ... surely all racism is equally abhorrent.

    It certainly needs to be seen that way.

    Sadly it probably wouldn't be as it doesn't fit the morally outraged ideals.

    I wonder why there have been no protests over black deaths by black officers. I'm certain they happen however they don't have the shock value that social media and the media in general craves.

    Last paragraph is spot on.

    It isn't the hook for the media.

    It doesn't get eyeballs on blogs and articles because it just isn't as sensational or inciting.

    i read the highest number of black deaths in America are caused by other blacks and deaths by police are minuscule in comparison. Then again if we look in Britain most of the stabbing in London are black on black, where i find difficulty in the movement of BLM is this business of Systemic, which as a word is only used when you guess at something and have no specific facts or cases to back it up, yet placing action where there are facts to prove a case is not taken up. As far as England is conceded why try and blame shame all whites, when the figures facts and statistics prove where the problem lies

    52% of all deaths by law enforcement in the US are white. The overall number last year from memory was under 1000 total deaths by law enforcement. Of this number approximately half were "death by cop" suicides.

    There are far more Blacks killed in the US by Blacks than any other race/creed etc. The stats are there, people just need to look them up and read for themselves. Sadly, Blacks killing Blacks isn't sensationaist enough and as such doesn't get the airtime.

    But the argument is, is that the percentage of crimes committed by blacks is higher than it should be because they dont get the breaks in life like white folk do. They dont get the funding, the youth clubs, the school places, the jobs etc., so they turn to crime. However, they dont get the breaks because of the disproportionate number crimes that they commit. Its a vicious circle, one of which I cant see being broken.

    Strange i find its the other way around there are so many schemes in this country for the advancement of so called underprivileged blacks more so than indigenous whites, there are far more single parent black women than white compared to head of population which I'm my opinion accounts for the problem more needs to be done to stop the culture of single parent families, The Salvation army report i read are trying to address this by holding seminars for the teens to try and stop them running in gangs, as for a lot of the teens the only way to get money is to sell drugs or steal it, enterprises are being set up to advance young teens into a trade, where older peers can give advice and be a father figure guiding them down the right path, They hope this apprentice scheme will spread around the country , and when i move back home this year i will volunteer my skills to help

    People the world over generally act the same, give them a ready excuse and they'll grab it.

    I'd be happy to see a few black icons telling black people that it's not nice to stab each other to death on the streets ...

    ... they don't appear to do that for some reason.

    It appears they 'need help' not to kill each other. I must've been blessed growing up in a 2 bedroom cold pit house, with no bathroom and overcoats as blankets ....

    .... I didn't need any help at all

    he must have been because the lawyer said so, personally i would have taken a doctors report, but i guess drug taking criminals cant find the time to get a good alibi when your lawyer can do it for you, Or it could be that Pure River Slut was making it up, but for the life of me i cant see why he would do that, Maybe he wanted to put you on the back foot , one never knows when dealing with hard lefties just how far they will go, I even felt sorrow for him, reading that he is thinking of leaving the site, as he cant get enough converts, or maybe because he did not get one sympathetic like for his post, who knows. All i know is that far left leaning people have a nasty habit , of accusing their opposition of the crime they have committed Jesus summed it up perfectly( 'Father forgive them for they know not what they do')

    But surely he was only drinking and taking drugs because he was mentally ill ...

    .... it's known in legal circles as the Paul Gascoigne defence.

    You’re not like this when you post on the Leeds board.

    this is all an act, isn’t it. Please tell me you’re as woke as they come, that’s certainly how I had you down.
