@TheDragSlayer4 @JamesSkillman2 @hammersmikey@BBCSport Yes, and that is exactly the goal. But the position we are in now is that black people are not treated equally.. regardless of whether you think they are. There is evidence (primary and tertiary) that black people to this day are oppressed.
@GarethConnor4 @twlnoble @BBCSport No they are not. I was at a BLM protest last week. Were they blaming me? No. Were they blaming the rest of the white people there? No. They are trying to stand up for their people and fight the system. A system we are all involved in. You donโt need to feel victimised.
@TheDragSlayer4 @southam1953@BBCSport There is no such thing as black supremacy. No one involved in BLM is against white people. That is literally not the point.
@TheDragSlayer4 @JamesSkillman2 @hammersmikey@BBCSport It would be a completely meaningless thing to say though. Itโs implied, as a sentient human being, that all lives should matter. You donโt even have to say it.
@jamesdownie1968 @bj62celt@BBCSport Based on the colour of their skin in western society.. but I thought that was implied. Okay, maybe I should have been more specific. But clearly youโre more interested in just trying to prove that you have the right point of view than having an open discussion
@RichardGilmour_ @FootballT8lk@BBCSport By that logic though, all forms of hate crime should be met with โAll Lives Matterโ. That is not the issue at hand. Of course all forms of discrimination are terrible. But we stand with black people to fight whatโs at hand right now, which is systemic racism against black people.
@jamesdownie1968 @bj62celt@BBCSport So by saying โyour countryโ you are suggesting I am in some way responsible.. which is in itself xenophobic. So thanks for that.. says a lot about yourself. Iโm not educated on that so I canโt have a strong viewpoint.. but any form of xenophobia is awful. Iโm agreeing with you.
@gallantpioneer1@jimmy27072403 @twlnoble @BBCSport Iโm actually not, but thanks for showing me that you have deep deep insecurities, to the point where you have to lash out at someone just trying to help educate people who donโt want to learn. ๐๐ป
@TheSOCIALIST13@rowl_dan@Cheshirebaggie@BBCSport This is the thing though. You just sit and laugh at people that have a different opinion to yours, therefore you never actually learn anything outside of what your own belief system is. Your world then becomes a very narrow place with a lack of understanding for many issues.
@rowl_dan@Cheshirebaggie@BBCSport Your privilege as a white male. Read the statistics. Listen to the black people of America who are scared for their lives and their families lives because they are preyed on by the policing system. You choose not to listen to the facts, thatโs the only issue here.
@gallantpioneer1@jimmy27072403 @twlnoble @BBCSport And you suggesting that my date of birth, without knowing a single thing about me, is a reflection on my psychological maturity, shows immense disrespect for me as. a young person and you are suggesting you are hierarchically above me because you are older.
