I'm not saying that I know you, I'm just pointing out that it's hypocrisy, if on the one hand there's an outcry of what was done many many years ago regarding the benefiting from slavery and people doing exactly the same thing today.
No idea where you got this from. The official Black Life’s Matter is an American website there is no UK page apart from a Facebook page. Any chance of sending the link please?
It was this post that made me think that you supported 'direct action' Rob. Apologies if I misinterpreted it. No offence was intended.
I felt the poster was making a valid point about uneven responses. There was no rioting when Lee Rigby was hacked to death by Islamic extremists wanting to overthrow Western Society. People did not go down on one knee for Lee Rigby. George Floyd was horrifically murdered, but his past was chequered. He was a serial criminal and a very violent one. He is being held up as a hero, it is martyrdom. That response is not equivalent to what occurred post Lee Rigby's death. I answered your point here. I do not equate as one of the guys (?) the murder of Lee Rigby to the enslavement of millions of black people. It is illogical to do so. Thought I would have a browse and - http://blacklivesmatteruk.com/briefing/
I'll admit that was the most flimsy one. I did initially back the tearing down of the statue but retracted it afterwards . But even with that, I certainly wouldn't support any kind of mob rule in any way. But really appreciate the apology Happy to admit that was initially my stance so you weren't entirely wrong.
OK not everyone's cup of tea and if Wiz wants to delete it, then no problem....but if you have an hour spare, take a listen..
No problem with me one4, I personally won't look, I detest the man and all he stands for as much as the yobs that are pissing all over our democray, I only interfere directly when forum or human values are broken, You have given us a personal choice.
the posted is the American page, when you read it you can see the references to past USA EVENTS actually it reiterates what I said about OBAMA [ although until it was posted on here didn't know they had a site, indeed as you said the other day you can learn something everyday... I didn't know they had a site let alone established before the last couple of weeks?]
I don't really like the man, but it's worth a listen, I personally think his views in this is worth listening to......not pointing blame to the black people but by US democrats George Soros creating tension for political reasons..
That is not a safe site. When I opened it on IPad I get the warning “Not Secure” so I doubt its an official site. Asking for donations in Bitcoin also should be an indicator.
So the Germans edition of Fawlty Towers is 'up for review'. For me, one of the funniest lines ever : The German resident said of his argument with Basil 'you started it' - Basil replied 'no we didn't YOU invaded Poland'.
Ridiculous, where will it stop, everyone has gone mad, we’ve been locked down too long & everybody has lost the plot.
I don't get any warnings about its safety on my laptop. It does link to its twitter and facebooks sites - https://twitter.com/blacklivesmatUK https://twitter.com/blacklivesmatUK
Your post here is an answer to pictures of the vandalized Winston Churchill statue and black BLM ??? protestors with a sign saying **** Madeleine Mccann and another of somebody trying to burn a Union jack on war memorial I asked the above about these Skinhead thugs. And your reply was There are pictures on line. The people at Plymouths naval memorial were not skinheads which is why I asked you made that up didn’t you?? Maybe you were implying they te skinheads thugs were far right nazis but there are pictures on line and some of the lads were black and Asian looking. That would rule out the far right nazi sketch as well. So what Skinhead thugs? Where did you get that from? The tabloids who have suckered people?? Where??
I think everyone needs to take a deep breath and calm down. We’ve been in lockdown for a long time and people have been stewing on their issues and allowed their anger to grow. Venting anger at statues and attacking the establishment is a way of releasing tension. It’s in our blood - we like as scrap and the lockdown has confined us like caged animals. once it ends those people will go back to work and won’t have the time to gather in large crowds.
It was interesting. Black lives matter was formed in 2013 after the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s murderer George Zimmerman who was white. This is the claim on their website. https://blacklivesmatter.com/six-years-strong/ George Zimmerman it appears was not white.
So I guess the Black and white Minstrel Show won't be showing re-runs? When you think back at how we laughed at things that made us laugh, and to hell with anyone else, we are part of the problem in that if we watched these shows then we must have condoned them. The world needs to change but I can't ever see the Excited States being willing to include the African Americans in anything and all the time the gun lobby is in place, and very active, the potential for severe repercussions just waits for the first shot to be fired. Mayhem may ensue!
You won't get that reported by the BBC....Easy to Google him, as evidence that in fact he wasn't white......The whole thing is bull.
