I am glad you have stopped trying to tell me what i think, that is at least a start to a decent discussion. I would suggest that your appraisal of the BLM protest being 'totally counter productive' is extreme to say the least. Protests are about finding balance, if they don't disrupt people at...

You think a post on a Brighton message board (that you have taken out of context) has devalued an american slogan? With such a mix of hysterical hyperbole and plumped up self importance you should write to Rupert Murdoch and get a job at one of his rags.

Yes it was a bit lazy, although I wasn't grouping a range of diverse cultures into one.

Not what i said at all.

All of these things could and have been argued to be the results of a history of racism and disadvantage. The argument is compelling if you care to have a look into it (I have no doubt you won't and this is another one of those things you 'just don't believe' and that is your choice).

Ultimately none of us white people can understand the reasons that people feel the need to create groups like this because we simply do not have the same experiences that black people have had and continue to have. I see nothing wrong with discussing it at all but for us to have a crack at...

So what we really need is a group called 'poor lives matter' that way we can look at ways to address the factors that influence people of all races that live in poverty. To me this is a start, if groups like these can have a positive influence on people's lives then I don't see a problem with it.
