"Black lives matter. Screaming ‘all lives matter’ is stupid. Imagine your child dying, you give a speech at their funeral and mention how special you are....and someone in the front row pipes up with ‘aren’t you going to mention MY child? He’s special! All children are special!’ It’s like going to race for life and having a go at people who are raising money for cancer research, because there’s other illnesses! They all matter!" *you mention how special your child is | |||

"It happened in America. I don't see what protesting in London is achieving. " Because people are showing solidarity for others, it idoesn't matter where the brutality happened, and that is one thing in a long line of bigger issues. As a global society challenging racism and standing up for what is right is something we should stand up for. | |||

"I think the mass demonstrations in the present climate are wrong. In normal circumstances, if there was no pandemic, then fine but it’s not normal circumstances and gathering in large groups is in my opinion selfish as fuck. I feel the same way about those going to beaches or gathering for V.E Day parties. " Australia went to court and managed to ban the protest due to the possible spread of the coronavirus | |||

"It happened in America. I don't see what protesting in London is achieving. Because it is showing awareness " We all saw it on social media. We are aware. Gathering in large crowds during a pandemic and causing damage to the war memorial in London. What's that all about? They men fought and died to give you the Britain we have today. The one where all are welcome and have freedom of speech. Spreading the virus when our doctors and nurses are sacrificing their lives on duty to save us, the people that have been prisoners in their own homes, the people who have died before their time, the worry of a second wave when we have already lost so much, the economic damage caused by this. Does their life's and sacrifices for our country not matter.Obviously not when one black man is murdered in another country. | |||

"There should be no place in the world that should be no go to another. We should learn to love each other just the same. We all breathe the same air and have red blood. I walked into a shop in a wealth part of London, I white lady said why are they allowing these people in the shop. Place her shopping basket down and walked out in anger. That's why there is protest here. " I was attacked in birmingham by 3 asian men in an audi over a parking space one spat on me one pushed me over the bonnet of my car and screamed in my face " you dont even fucking belong here bitch" . Would you like to start a protest over it ? Cus the police were not interested even though i had their registration and witnesses? Guess that wasnt a racist attack hey ? Just putting woman in there place because its seen as the norm? . | |||

"Black lives do matter and the movement exists because they appear to matter less to some people than other lives. Only when racism is dead does the 'all lives matter' bollocks have a place. Those preaching 'all lives matter' really need to go and acknowledge, understand and accept their white privelige. " If anyone needs help on the white privelige thing here is how I understand it... I have been been treated less favourably because of the colour of my skin. Its not difficult. | |||

"My main take on it is that I support the cause completely. I lose respect for those who say 'but all lives matter' and have contempt for those who derail it with 'white lives matter' and tails of their own prejudices. Let's be clear here black lives matter in no way detracts from our rights. We aren't going to lose anything here and nothing screams white privilege more than trying to distract from or derail a campaign for equality by portraying it as an attack on white lives matter. Not one of those protesters is saying only black lives matter." If the slogan was " black lives matter as well" then people wouldn't say "all lives matter" they would just agree. It's just how the slogan is being read and a lot of anger bubbling out. | |||

"What is people’s theory on this subject " Of course Black lives matter. What do you mean theory on this? Yank cops shot, injure maim and kill a larger percentage of blacks than any other race. This is why people are trying to get the message into the thick meat heads of those barely trained Roid addicted police over there to be aware that every race is part of the human race. | |||

"Hey only white people can be racists " Any race can be racist. Ut white people have the power due to the ugly history of slavery and ku klux klan, nazism and any other white supremacist behaviour. Sociogically speaking can the oppressed become the oppressors? In real terms. When a whole system is institutionally oppressing a race, can they ever really become the oppressors? | |||

"For anyone who thinks Black or other people of colour can be racist I will quote the incredible character Sam White from “Dear White People” “ Black people can't be racist. Prejudice, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a system of disadvantage based on race. Black people can't be racist since we don't stand to benefit from such a system.” Is xenophobia and prejudice a problem? Yes. Is it racism? No" Anyone, of any and every race can be racist. Just because you quote a character from a tv show does not mean you have provided a fact. | |||

Whilst yes, anybody being murdered is bad and we should try to reduce violence in society, its not unreasonable to protest that the damn police be held to a higher standard.

"For anyone who thinks Black or other people of colour can be racist I will quote the incredible character Sam White from “Dear White People” “ Black people can't be racist. Prejudice, yes, but not racist. Racism describes a system of disadvantage based on race. Black people can't be racist since we don't stand to benefit from such a system.” Is xenophobia and prejudice a problem? Yes. Is it racism? No Anyone, of any and every race can be racist. Just because you quote a character from a tv show does not mean you have provided a fact." Come on, I used that quote because it’s the example that puts it in the most simple terms. Only white people stand to benefit from white supremacy, the mechanism to uphold it is racism. Therefore Black people and any other person of colour is not being racist if they say or do something against your race. They are being prejudiced or xenophobic. Words are important, they mean different things. | |||

"Hey only white people can be racists Any race can be racist. Ut white people have the power due to the ugly history of slavery and ku klux klan, nazism and any other white supremacist behaviour. Sociogically speaking can the oppressed become the oppressors? In real terms. When a whole system is institutionally oppressing a race, can they ever really become the oppressors? Yes that can happen. Examples please. Of where an oppressed race has over come the oppressive system of institutional racism and has then that group has systematically and institutionally racially oppressed the group that once oppressed them... " Zimbabwe is not an example, as was dm to me. If that was the case why have tens of thousands of black Zimbabweans had to fell Politicol asylum during this reversal of the syst you speak of. White farmers where right removed from land they had sten from black Zimbabweans. | |||

"Long read: In 1995 a friend of mine was a senior stewardess working for British Airways. Though she had been to Americaon turn-around flights she had never stayed over in America. One weekend she was told that the flight she was on would lay-over for two nights so enjoy your stay in LA. She stayed with and American Airlines Stewardess in Downtown LA and in the evening she said come on we are all going out to a Bar but . . . Stephanie . . . listen to me very very carefully . . . if at any time we have an interaction with a police officer at no time do you ever turn your back, walk away or fail to answer their questions. Never put your hands behind your back, in fact keep them a little out to the side with the palms pointing toward the officer. If you are walking away and an officer calls you from behind to stop - stop and put you hands in the air - do not turn around quickly or it's likely he will shoot you, do not carry on walking it's likely he will shoot you. Do not run he will shoot you dead!! Nothing much has changed really has it. " I am white and when i was in the US i was nervy of the cops and i was doing nothing wrong. I think the cops in Yankeeland and badly trained, and trigger happy. No wonder people over there dont trust and are afraid of those meant to protect them. | |||

"Poor little sheep with no minds of their own let’s just copy what’s going on in America and the news! When they all catch covid 19 from the mass protests they can blame Boris and the government for catching it !!" I think the sheep here are the ones that cry all lives matter and are oblivious to the fact racism is very still a plague in the world. It’s not ideal timing, there is a pandemic. When there is a vaccine for Covid, and the pandemic is over, racism will still exist. It’s a pandemic in its own right except there is no vaccine. Only change will stop it. | |||

"Having worked in America for a short while many years back, it was apparent to me that there is a huge segregation of classes in society, particularly separated by wealth. Eg. In SoCal, Mexicans are seen as the poor burden of society. In UK, we are much more integrated. However, in the very rural areas, I still observe ignorant racial behaviour, and it's mainly through a lack of cultural education of white British. Going back to the point, making a martyr out of Floyd or wearing a #blacklivesmatter does diddly squat. Encouraging governmental policy change around specific racial equality is what is more significant. Mostly true. However rhe more non black people who show support for the blacks the better, hance the t shirt, slogan etc is a way to show unity on this matter. I don't discriminate, but my friends in South Africa might have a different opinion on behaviours of the Black community. Certainly not what Mandela stood up for." I have family in South Africa. What is happening in South Africa to the white community is disgusting. Racism and prejudice needs to be called out everywhere in all forms. However internationally, by mentioning their plight at this moment in time I feel it is detracting from the BLM movement | |||

"My main take on it is that I support the cause completely. I lose respect for those who say 'but all lives matter' and have contempt for those who derail it with 'white lives matter' and tails of their own prejudices. Let's be clear here black lives matter in no way detracts from our rights. We aren't going to lose anything here and nothing screams white privilege more than trying to distract from or derail a campaign for equality by portraying it as an attack on white lives matter. Not one of those protesters is saying only black lives matter." Agreed. Black lives matter. White people need to do better and stop being so fragile. | |||

"Just thought I'd check on the profiles of those most vocal about all lives matter And unsurprisingly - ' no Asians/blacks, I'm not racist' is right there! " There was a thread on this yesterday. Regarding race and attraction. My simple point to all was a sexual preference with regards to race is fine, however clearly stating no blacks and no asians is painful. Its a throwback to the 1960s and reminds us of Enoch Powells speech | |||

Lets ignore the racist white lives matter, their agenda and hatred is clear. But every lady person saying all lives matter is doing absoluteky nothing to change the status quo or to to help things evolve on a positive way. They are dismissing the issue as it doesn't effect them | |||

The other police should have stopped it. Are they so fucking ignorant and badly trained that they think kneeling on someones neck is a good idea. It is not a good idea at any time. Unless you want to kill that person. Anyway i am getting off this thread now. I woke up in a good mood, happy and hornt now found myself in a debate with ignorant people. All lives matter. In america Black people are continuing to have trouble with over zealous badly trained police so for the time being they want and appear to need to remind them that Black lives matter. Have a good weekend ams stay safe eceryone. There was a 75 year old white man assaulted by police at a demo earlier this week. The 2 officers responsible were suspended so his 87 (yes 87) colleagues resigned. I think we are a long way off seeing American police call out their colleagues behaviour " The police originally in a statement that he tripped and fell, but someone released the footage which confirms they pushed him. | |||

Sorry but nope, I won't 'wind my neck in' If I see comments made I will respond to challenge that. Not one person has said all Police are the same, nobody has said that! People just want them to account for their actions and they will through the courts. Open your eyes and educate yourself on the bigger issues here.... | |||
