[Canary42]

To all those who are feeling overwhelmed by the BLM movement - now you are getting some idea of what it feels like to be black. Not nice is it ?

Why do you think it is not nice to be black? All lives matter, black or white or anything else.

[Zacs-Master]

Black people know that, MWG. They're saying theirs should be given equal status which policemen murdering people, statues of slave owners and buildings named after them indicate that their lives aren't.

How do you know how it feels Canary?Not all black people feel overwhelmed.

[Gromit]

The sheer volume of posts and threads from privileged white men on this subject means the BLM message is hitting its target. As campaigns go, that is a great success.

[Zacs-Master]

If AB is anything to go by (which I sincerely hope it isn't) all the BLM 'movement' is doing is exposing a very nasty underbelly of racism and intolerance.

(exposing a very nasty underbelly of racism and intolerance.)
no.. it's exposing mob rules, i remember a quote from the black panthers in the states, a member said..'If you are not part of the solution, you must be part of the problem' so in that context anyone
who disagrees with pulling down statues and graffiti, is part of the problem, mob rules then.

[Zacs-Master]

Jesus. It's a shame AOG isn't still around, you and he would have been able to join the Alf Garnet appreciation society, TWT.

[ToraToraTora]

sorry canary I don't see what you are talking about. Are you saying this is like an un birthday and that rest of the time whites are rioting and tearing down statues?

[Zacs-Master]

'whites are rioting and tearing down statues?'

Indeed they are

What garbage from Canary and quite a few others who dont seem to be able to distinguish between outrage at riots and vandalism and a genuine concern.
