Would it be silly to ask if we can have a "white curriculum"? Of course we know the answer but surely history is history why cherry pick bits to suit an agenda?

[ToraToraTora]

the problem is that these people pick up a little bit of history here and there usually with no context. Their weak minds are easily effected by the anarchist terrorists they hang around with getting drip fed bile till they'd lynch their ow granny.

how naive you are....

[Mamyalynne]

In your view.

Who would have thought I could make it through all these years without your assistance.

Now you can address the topic of Black history being available.

I think that all history is fine to be taught as long as it doesn't tend to contradict with what I personally believe. If that happens then it's bad history taught by bad people for bad reasons. Otherwise it's all good.

"All the more need for better education and understanding."

Unfortunately they dont want it. It's clear directly from the mouths of some of them they want racism to continue only for them to be racists to everyone else and no one to them. The slogan is totally wrong - it should be all lives matter that way it brings people together. Deliberately saying only black lives matter is divisive. But then we have seen examples over the years of Black racism to Pakistanis - particularly Muslims who many appear to hate.

I am happy to report though that all the Black people I know dont think like that. i suspect because instead of going round with a chip on their shoulder they knuckled down and got good jobs and families.

They are not saying "only" Black Lives Matter. Deliberately misunderstanding the message is divisive.

//They are not saying "only" Black Lives Matter. //

No? Why not say 'Lives Matter' then?

[jim360]

Because they were drawing attention to what they thought was the most serious problem. There's nothing mysterious about this. You've asked the same question dozens of times before and received the same answer.

Isn't ignoring the whites beaten and murdered by American police divisive?
When was the last time you (and the world) got het up about a white being murdered by the authorities in America?

Surely the most serious problem is that the police are murdering 'people'?

[jim360]

Nobody is ignoring that either. Indeed, the knock-on effect of BLM being successful would be that the police in America killed fewer people for no reason full stop.

Moreover, the issue of general police brutality is shocking, but when it's brought up in this context it seems to be only to distract from the separate but entirely related issue of police racism, rather than out of any meaningful effort to solve the problem. "It's just a few bad apples", the typical defence, is followed by no proposals at all to deal with those bad apples, or to prevent the system from tolerating them in future.

I'm absolutely fine with discussing the wider issues of unchecked policing power, brutality, and the apparent general disregard for the lives of the people they are supposed to protect. I am not fine with using that to distract from an equally important issue.

Show me where you haven't ignored it.

In what context?
What are you trying to say..spit it out.

[naomi24]

//You've asked the same question dozens of times before//

Once ... or maybe twice ... but dozens? Not that you're prone to exaggeration, Jim. ;o)

//they were drawing attention to what they thought was the most serious problem. //

I can't say I recall hearing that before - but does that mean that the loss of a black life is, in their estimation, more serious than the loss of any other?

Do your own homework, roy.
