Black Lives Matter

[BadFish]

Things are so confusing when you need to further your agenda.

Imagine an idea and an organization having the same name and not being able to separate the two.

Tough.

I guess it is better than the idiotic 'all lives matter' nonsense. (for the record I am talking about using 'all lives matter' to respond to 'black lives matter' (note the lack of capital letters) and thinly veil ones racism rather than the notion that all lives matter - its tricky).

It’s not old, or guff for that matter. We’ve been bending the knee for two years now in honor of these ********s. There’s always been shit in the world, time to call out some of it for what it is.

Keep scouring the internet for job vacancies too. That dream job of village idiot may be right around the corner (although you may be overqualified)

You lot are the ones getting upset at people taking the knee. It's a tiny little gesture, yet people get so outraged over it. Those people are the true snowflakes. I hope we continue taking the knee just to piss off those people.

You lot? When have I ever got my knickers in a twist about taking the knee? I'm in an interracial marriage you knob. What pisses me off is people crying racism or sexism or whatever ism solely to get likes or attention, taking the knee doesn't bother me in the slightest.

 

[Tokyohands]

He, like you, have conflated movement with group.

The BLM group may well be doing some dodgy financial shit. That has zero bearing on the movement or its message as the two things are separate.

It really is that simple.

Fair enough, point well made.

What particular instances of “crying racism or sexism or whatever ism solely to get likes or attention” have pissed you off? Do you have any examples?

Crikey.

That sounds pretty snowflakery

NB - and I’m not saying this is you but there are plenty of people in interracial marriages who are racist. I met one guy who had a Thai bride who spent his time moaning about Pakistanis and black people.
I have a relative who’s married to an Indian lady who thinks all Indian men are lazy, cheating so and so’s.

Marrying inter racially is no guarantee of not being racist.

If the OP didn't know exactly what would happen when this thread was opened then this is such naivety as never seen before.

Right now, there is enough worry and strife as it is.

Mods, do the right thing to this thread.

Nah, the 'likes' on this (compared to the original post) are pretty awesome...

Yup. Leave it where it is so the world can see the gross ignorance and stupidity of the OP.

 

[LamieRobertson]

I think there's enough sh!t in the world right now, without dragging up old guff

Exactly…it’d rather be reading a thread wishing me a Happy Birthday…..”is it your birthday Lammie did I hear you say” …yes it is AR

It all sounds a bit Bernard Manning I'm not racist, my accountant's a pakistani.

Can't this nonsense be moved to the bear pit?

Stop being such a snowflake.

Found the guy who would bring up petrol prices in a funeral speech

 

[DavidinSouthampton]

I really don't see how it is. I never got the impression he's calling black people ***** whatever, rather just a seemingly corrupt movement.
But carry on with your snowflakery.

Carry on with your judgementalism.

The other response I had which was along the lines of maybe he’s just confusing the Black Lives Matter organisation over the concept as a whole is nearer the mark.

Had a look and was intrigued as to who had given the op his solitary like. Spence! Must have ridden in on that red wave.

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

No, we've been bending the knee to protest against racism, not to honour an American political organisation. This really has been covered a huge number of times and I'm surprised that you are still confused (but good to hear that you've been bending your knee.)

This. I don’t give a shit about American political organizations. I do care about equality and will continue to support taking the knee (although with my health I can’t do it myself)

I think the best way to describe how this has gone for the OP is "well"
