  1. Not trying to be pedantic but, Oaksoft DIDN'T make that point. He suggested that adding the word "too" to the black lives mattered may change thinking. I asked that, if that word had been added to the banner, would it have made it less offensive to those with a voice and I suggested it wouldn't because it's like the emperor's new clothes scenario. This has become so polarised that anyone who even suggests the problem exists for more than just blacks is shot down.

    Then you both have a good point, but overall, the fact remains, it’s ridiculous that these things are still an issue in 2020

  2. I'm definitely white and, back in the seventies, I was caught up in a barney in Paisley, (dragged into the furore, not directly involved), and the police dragged me into a van and beat the shit out of me.
    St,Lucifer's life matters!
    ETA. TOO!

    Did you happen to tell the police that you are Lucifer at the time ? Just trying to establish the cause [emoji23]
  3. This is a thread about racism. It's not a thread about the black community. You are trying to turn it ibto that for some reason. I just asked why because I can't see where you're going with all this.
    I didn't say it was offensive to use the word black.
    I at no point called or classed you as a racist.

    Then clearly we have both made our point

    I explained exactly where I was going with it, twice.

    I always enjoy your posts so I certainly don’t have any argument with you


  4. Furiously back peddling...

    You may be , I’m posting what happened

    All in context, unless of course you’re also being a dick and trying to make racist accusations

    Read the whole thread and then decide

    [emoji23]

    Sit down also , you’ll be dizzy trying to spin this [emoji3]
  5. Why are you bringing up the skin colour of those involved?
    I'm confused about what your aim is here.
     

    We are on the Black lives matter thread , discussion is about the black community

    It’s not offensive to use the word black in this context

    My point is, I hope other groups of people don’t try use the BLM group to continue other avenues of criminal damage looting and violence


    It was 22 officers injured and police cars wrecked, by black youths and men

    The 2 videos uploaded said ‘We told you BLM’

    So I definitely made a fair relevant point, unless of course you ignored all my previous supportive texts and want to class me a racist ?
  6. As far as I know, this wasn't anything to do with BLM. 
    I fail to your point here.

    The 2 videos uploaded as part of this on tik tok were under the banners ‘We told you BLM’

    I hope that people don’t think they can add to the BLM criminal damage looting and violence by association to the movement
  7. So , 15 uk police injured last night and police cars wrecked by black people :

    Anyone want to defend the action of the guys chasing police with a sword and injuring 15 officers or wrecking police cars

    Maybe someone can spin an excuse for this ...

  8. That certainly works.
     IF you are white.

    Sadly, I get that sentiment, it’s still astonishing in 2020 we still have these issues

    I honestly don’t think of anyone in any other way than they’re a person, I don’t think about race/religion when dealing with people other than to respect their culture.

  9. Streams of racist posts and activity.
    a pal of Yaxley-Lennon with pix as pals.
    same with his bint. 
     
    the company won’t tolerate racism.

    I think it’s acceptable to offload an employee for any type of misconduct, except, the banner wasn’t racism it was portrayed as such though.

    Oaksoft made a really good point when he said, perhaps if the word ‘too’ was added then it would make the point but soften the negative impact?
  10. Suppose it seemed like a good idea at the time.......................not feeling so good about it now. :rolleyes:
    We've done some work for the company he worked for. :blink:

    The man who was responsible for the "white lives matter" banner flown above a football game has been sacked from his job at an engineering firm.

    Burnley supporter Jake Hepple, 24, was dismissed from Lancashire-based Paradigm Precision on Wednesday.

    According to Sky News sports correspondent Martha Kelner, his girlfriend has also had her employment terminated in relation to posts she made on social media.


    The police said we have no desire to speak to him as no crime was committed also.

    Do all the black people caught on camera doing criminal damage looting and violence defacing Churchill statue etc get sacked ?

    Perhaps the ‘cause’ was good justification

    Like you’ve said , this can be spun any which way , just a shame in 2020 it’s even an issue
  11. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-53165938
     
      He said he believed he was targeted by police because he is black.
    "I know that I would not have been the subject of police attention, on either day, if I had not been a young black man," he added in the statement.
    "And I know, from my own personal experience as a young black man, that I always have to be very fearful of being alone with police officers in a police van: that is an experience to be avoided if at all possible for the sake of my own safety, as most black men know from their encounters with the police."
    Jordan Walker-Brown has previously served time in prison. 

    I’ve found the best advice if you want to avoid contact with the police is DO NOT DO CRIME
  12. You think he contradicted himself. Doesn't mean he did.
    At worst he changed his opinion on something. The original comment you posted is over 10 years old and you've chosen to interpret it as contradicting the current protests. I don't believe it does as he says he belueves black history should always matter, same as white history does - not just for a month.

    Oh, I watched it last week on tv , didn’t realise it was an old comment.
  13. How about this : BLM leader Shaun King tweeted :
     
    ‘all murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus and his European Mother and their white friends should also come down.They are a gross form of White Supremacy.Created as tools of oppression and racist propaganda.They should all come down’

    @shaunking

  14. This guy? Screenshot_20200623_225800_com.instagram.android.thumb.jpeg.4741bfed2ecb58462fcc49fdc986f713.jpeg

    Yes, this guy. If he chooses to contradict himself after a tv interview ? Doesn’t change the fact he said it,

     

    How about this : BLM leader Shaun King tweeted :

     

    ‘all murals and stained glass windows of white Jesus and his European Mother and their white friends should also come down.They are a gross form of White Supremacy.Created as tools of oppression and racist propaganda.They should all come down’

     

     

    Wow , Jesus is a racist ? So , all churches & chapels & god loving people are on the racist list ?

     

     

    f**king nonsense , go read the BLM crap

     

    ETA: @shaunking

  15.  
    If the world is to move on we should not identify by colour of skin
    Colour of skin is not the issue, the human race is...………..

    Completely agree, which is why I highlighted all the positive views I have & why I think we all matter. Drop the BLM , refocus, work together and identify as people not race or religion
  16. Maybe we wouldn't have nonsense like this banner if they had called the movement "Black Lives Matter Too".
    The addition of that word would have helped I think.

    Perhaps, but , to most civilised people, we all matter

    I don’t think it’s offensive to say white lives matter in that banner it’s the exact wording of the BLM so are people’s honesty’s saying white people cant say the same ?

    Sport is full of fantastic black players, athletes male and female

    Golf/boxing/ athletics/Football/Tennis / F1 / American football / NBA etc etc

    Tv - plenty of excellent black broadcasters & news anchors as well as actors , who doesn’t like Morgan Freeman , Will Smith etc ?

    2 of my favourite news anchors Trevor Mcdonald , Moira Stuart

    America had Barrack Obama in the White House ( I’d exclude Dianne Abbot on competence grounds as she’s a car crash of a politician )

    Brilliant music artists male/female that are black

    I think ALL songs that contain the N word and there’s thousands should be removed from all media platforms immediately - lets lose that as well

    There is plenty of opportunities for all who work hard, times have moved on a lot from the old days thankfully, but sadly, still a work in progress
