"It seems that a "White lives matter banner" is being investigated as "racist" yet black lives matter (which I fully support) is not. Is everyone else as puzzled as me? Sensible comments please....don't descend into rants and get yourselves banned." I dont know about racist but its probally provocative and they do have a bit of history there. | |||

"Police are looking into it to see if there are any crime being committed, WTF has happened to freedom of speech and the attacks on white people not being covered in the same manner by the media are actually going to cause more people to turn into racists. " You mean like the attack at the wend which has received wall to wall coverage? | |||

"Here was me thinking that ALL lives matter. exactly...."but when your house is on fire you don't turn around and dismiss it by saying "all houses matter".... if you someone has breast cancer ... you don't turn around around and dismiss it by saying "well... all cancers matter!!!" so wonder why so many white people are so threatened by the "black lives matter" movement.... unless its a tacit admission that you are acknowledging that things aren't the same for both of us! and it mean that if one group if lifted up than the other group loses out.... it never meant "ONLY black lives matter" it means "black lives matter AS WELL" and at this point if that scares you.... then you are part of the problem!! | |||

"Here was me thinking that ALL lives matter. exactly...."
This has been explained so many times.
I think people still "confused" on this are just pretending. They know full well what the phrase 'black lives matter' means. They just can't stand seeing a conversation and a cause that isn't about them. | |||

"It seems that a "White lives matter banner" is being investigated as "racist" yet black lives matter (which I fully support) is not. Is everyone else as puzzled as me? Sensible comments please....don't descend into rants and get yourselves banned." I mentioned this on another thread that was about the BLM. I said then that such a statement runs the risk of being divisive. I'm more for all lives matter equally. | |||

Being a white bloke, I don't feel threatened by 'black lives matter'. I just see it for what it is, an age old inequality that needs levelling up. What's so wrong with that?? | |||

BLM has arisen because of the obvious inequality faced by people everyday. | |||

In my opinion as someone who has seen a real decline in my experiences with others since this started I feel this needs to be addressed as a single society regardless of colour without leaving anyone behind. | |||

Sensible comments please....don't descend into rants and get yourselves banned." I see on the news the police are investigating if this was illegal. Is it the actual flight that is illegal- Maybe private planes not allowed over stadiums or is it the words on the banner that are illegal. If not the flight what law are they checking? | |||

Unlike the maggots of the edl, Britain first who turned up to attack anyone and the police became a target.. | |||

"When three white people get murdered in Reading, most people just shrug their shoulders and say how awful. Why the difference, do not their lives matter? I'm fairly sure it made a headline or 2? Exactly a headline or two for a couple of days. Not almost every day for a month. The blm headlines havemt all Been about the death of 1 man. That triggered it..but it was followed up protests,statues being pulled down,counter riots etc has meant the story has stayed newsworthy. The idea that the media 'ignore'white deaths in this country is quite frankly ludicrous. Look at maddie McCann Maddie McCann reporting had nothing to do with the colour of her skin. It was due to the fact she was a pretty young girl (toddler) who had been left on her own and the investigation was useless. The press don't ignore the death of white people, it just doesn't get as much attention as the murder of a black person.

" Fabio can I ask you what you feel is needed because I don't think another enquiry will change anything" There are 35 recommendations in the Lammy report on inequality in the criminal justice system. There are 110 specific recommendations in the Angiolini review about disproportionality in deaths in custody. There are 30 recommendations in Wendy Williams’s review about the Home Office’s failure in the Windrush scandal. There are 26 specific recommendations in Ruby McGregor-Smith’s review about discrimination in the workplace. the government accepted all the recommendations in the reports in full with no arguements.... number of those actually recommendations implemented..... 0!!!!! none.... nada... zero so.. and i know this is radical.. home about we implement all those recommendations in full first! | |||

so wonder why so many white people are so threatened by the "black lives matter" movement.... unless its a tacit admission that you are acknowledging that things aren't the same for both of us! and it mean that if one group if lifted up than the other group loses out....
it never meant "ONLY black lives matter" it means "black lives matter AS WELL" and at this point if that scares you.... then you are part of the problem!!"Fabio Beautifully put

" Then Fabio, would you not agree that having the slogan "Black lives are equal" would have solved all the "you don't understand" arguments ? Black lives Matter is a slogan that puts some peoples backs up. Black lives are Equal is a slogan that no-one could argue with unless they wanted to show themselves as out and out racists. "black lives are equal" is the aspiration... are we anywhere near that... not even close! I think it is interesting that on Windrush Day (yesterday) CNN did a massive poll in regards to perceived attitudes in the uk have a read.... it might take you 5-10 minutes, but its an eyeopener into how we see things differently... https://edition.cnn.com/interactive/2020/06/europe/britain-racism-cnn-poll-gbr-intl/ i think what this kinda does is shock people into have uncomfortable conversations.... we have tried it a million other ways and it seems that its always either in one ear and out the other, or "now" is never the time to have the conversation...... If " black lives are equal" is the aspiration ( which I fully agree with) why not make it the slogan as others have mentioned" | |||

Living at one with the earth I would imagine. Instead of what we're doing (even right now even with typing (energy, satellites, cables, servers etc)) polluting & destroying the only planet we have for man made money or knowledge (space rubbish & projects + medicines playing with natural way of things in animals & humans) that is worth nothing when there are no more fish in the sea, no more fresh water and no soil for food and the air is poison. (dirt & soil are not the same thing). | |||

I am not a Burnley fan but read comments on their fans forum last night , wihout doing an actual poll , the vast majority were strongly opposed to the plane , distancing themselves from message and the people ( I was going to say supporters ) involved ,,,,after the game I saw the interview with the Burnley captain ,Mee , on pick TV ,,if the town of Burnley wants someone to be proud of he is a good example ,spoke very well of the embarrassment that was brought to Burnley FC and the town by the banner | |||

That's it Fabio, nail on head. Being a white bloke, I don't feel threatened by 'black lives matter'. I just see it for what it is, an age old inequality that needs levelling up. What's so wrong with that?? "

so wonder why so many white people are so threatened by the "black lives matter" movement.... unless its a tacit admission that you are acknowledging that things aren't the same for both of us! and it mean that if one group if lifted up than the other group loses out....
it never meant "ONLY black lives matter" it means "black lives matter AS WELL" and at this point if that scares you.... then you are part of the problem!!
A posting I saw somewhere else went;
Black lives Matter can also infer that other lives don't matter. Which is divisive and threatening.
Why was the slogan not "Black lives are equal" which can only be interpreted one way.
This would have attracted more support for their cause I would have said.
Clearly people of other races being killed by American police doesn't matter. "Only black lives matter"."This is what happens when people don't understand the meaning of something. We never said ONLY BLACK LIVES MATTER | |||

"Whether you agree with it or not whether you agree with the blm causecor not the banner didnt incite violence or hate it was three words that can be interpreted in different ways, I thought we had free speech in this country, those who are up in arms about it only need to look back at posts on this site about some of the worlds politicians and see the hate being spouted, yet they would claim that's ok because of free speech " Why did they want the plane to fly over at the exact sane time as the players were taking the knee?

That's it Fabio, nail on head. Being a white bloke, I don't feel threatened by 'black lives matter'. I just see it for what it is, an age old inequality that needs levelling up. What's so wrong with that?? "Agreed. Fabio often hits the nail on the head with his posts. Because of this on the few occasions where he posts something I don't really agree with I stop and rethink the issue through. Sometimes I even change my mind. | |||

"Black lives matter and the slogan stands because they haven't as much as white and still don't. How hard can that possibly be to understand?? I'm really sorry, but any problems somebody has with this, well,it can only be racism so engrained that they can't see it or can't admit it." I generally agree with you but perhaps you're being a bit harsh on posters like _eordies. I don't agree with with his post that 'Black lives are equal' would be better than 'Black lives matter' as a slogan but he's making a reasonable argument for it. | |||

What I’m trying to do though is make a clear distinction between the idea of ‘black lives matter’ and ‘BLM’ the organisation. None of my black or mixed relatives and friends agree with the nonsensical cancelling of tv shows or agree with defunding the police. The BLM organisation itself tho, is open in its demands to defund police, dismantle the family unit and deconstruct capitalism. I think if we’re going to have a serious conversation about racial equality, I think more black people should be prepared to denounce the BLM organisation as not representative of all of their demographic along with having those uncomfortable conversations you’re talking about (post code gangs, gangbanger culture etc) | |||

We live in a society rife click bait and easy virtue points for sharing a cause that sounds wonderful without knowing the full ins and outs of it. And when those same people who are ignorant of the truth of organisations like BLM or the DFLA start shouting down others for questioning the narrative it creates resentment, and more worryingly, radicalises people. That’s why I’m absolutely terrified of the BLM as an organisation. | |||

See that’s something I’ve never really heard of before now. I’ve heard of the black/Jewish issues in America but nothing about Asian. It all needs dragging out into the open with mutual respect and courtesy for one another. I saw an interview with Ayshiat Akanbi last week and she said the race equality debate needs integrity and courage to discuss it, not victim hood and vengefulness. Never a truer word said | |||

If im a wealthy POC, who do i explain that i like capitalism, and am sceptical of a society based on socialism, with an abolished police force, being successful, or indeed habitable? Why are you donating the money? Who knows? Why are they asking for money? Who the fuck are "they"? This is kind of my point... ‘Kind of my point ‘ ? Vague . If you don’t agree with the aims of the BLM why would you even consider donating to them? Do you donate any money to any charities or organisations? " Why don't you try and answer the question with an answer? | |||

"Black lives do matter... To anyone.. Please explain the part of the campaign that wants to dismantle capitalism and defund police... Dismantle capitalism and replace with what exactly...? "We’re guided by a commitment to dismantle imperialism, capitalism, white-supremacy, patriarchy and the state structures that disproportionately harm black people in Britain and around the world. We build deep relationships across the diaspora and strategise to challenge the rise of the authoritarian right-wing across the world, from Brazil to Britain." "Developing and delivering training, police monitoring and strategies for the abolition of police. Working alongside existing anti-racist organisations to strengthen the wider movement across the UK." Replace it with what who knows? East Germany? Your looking for things that are not there to suit your agenda, again
No your saying those things arent the goals of the BLM organisation
Yes they are the aims, can you highlight the one you don’t agree with and why they are being compared to east Germany? "I haven't compared them to east germany. Do you support the defunding of the police the shutting of prisons ? I can accept that some dont like capitalism and want to break up family units, not my position but others can rake that view but the police and prison ones are lunacy and would end up in anarchy, and anyone who supports that is going for the destruction of society | |||

"Where i live most people who are poor are white, most people who are arrested are young Male and white, most people who feel that the way they've been born hinders their salary level are white and female. How will defunding the police help these people ?" Not many stabbings though, so perhaps we could afford to defund them a bit? | |||

Do you think we can thank our conservative run council? | |||

"Now being a white guy who doesnt give a shit about black people, why should I feel bad for being white? Why its ok to be black but not being white? You can write BLM, but not WLM? Where is equaity in this? . At last someone who is being honest... might not like it but at least I know where I stand..... So clem, _adet and the normal nay sayers.... just say it! Don’t just play around it in a word salad... let’s be real! Why do you feel so threatened by the blm movement...is it because you are afraid of losing the advantages you have? Why do you believe that systematic racism apparently doesn’t exist? Have the moves forward denied you of this you like so you’re pissed off... Tell it like you see it! I’ll tell it like I see it back.... I think it’s interesting that you are changing the narrative because it’s makes you feel really uncomfortable.... but I am trying to work out why.... At least this person told the unvarnished truth Dont you feel threatened by Marxism? and thank you for proving my point!!! Don't change the subject when you know damn well what the subject truely is... why does the topic of race and in particular racial inequality make you feel really uncomfortable??? it SHOULD make you uncomfortable....... there should also be a certain amount of acknowledgement and recognition that things are not equal... Clem doesn't do that.... you don't do that..... Twisted doesn't to that.... you lot aren't the only ones..... so i'll call you all out till you do.... and i'll call out anyone else who doesn't!!! make you uncomfortable does it.... welcome to my world!!! "We're having the discussion and why on earth would equality make me feel uncomfortable? BLM is about Marxism not equality. If you don't see that then I fear we're just too far apart on this | |||

"Here was me thinking that ALL lives matter. exactly....
but when your house is on fire you don't turn around and dismiss it by saying "all houses matter"....
if you someone has breast cancer ... you don't turn around around and dismiss it by saying "well... all cancers matter!!!"
so wonder why so many white people are so threatened by the "black lives matter" movement.... unless its a tacit admission that you are acknowledging that things aren't the same for both of us! and it mean that if one group if lifted up than the other group loses out....
it never meant "ONLY black lives matter" it means "black lives matter AS WELL" and at this point if that scares you.... then you are part of the problem!!"This! | |||

"I think people are up in arms because the banner has been condemned and can’t understand why it’s ok for blm to be on the backs of shirts but it’s not ok to fly a banner personally I think it was to cause a stir which it has but has it broken any laws ? Personally it was a stunt to probably wind people up maybe the pilot should of known better I’d imagine he knew what was on it be prepared for more stuff like this So what law has been broken or possibly broken. Black life's matter White life's matter All life's matter Are any of those quotes illegal? I never said a law has been broken I simply said has a law been broken Fully understand and was not a post complaining. Further up I was trying to discover if anyone knew what law is being investigated as on the news they said police are checking if it was illegal. If the quotes are legal I was thinking maybe it was flying over a stadium that was illegal. No crime committed as per the news just now. Yep just saw that So no crime committed in the end after all that" No, but an insensitive act during a very difficult time. Sadly there are a tiny minority at both ends of the spectrum. The overwhelming majority of good people just want to get on with their lives, doing the best they can for themselves and their family, and indeed their neighbours , irrespective of race or religion. I don’t like the BLM slogan, I think a huge opportunity has been missed “I can’t breathe “ is far more powerful, inclusive and longer lasting. I also dislike being told to have “that conversation “. What conversation and with whom? Sadly those that do need “that conversation “ are too bigoted, narrow minded or just too thick to understand it. | |||

How will defunding the police help these people ?" Maybe you could spend less money on the police and more on education and training for the young to improve their salary levels? | |||

I think that spending less on the police and prisons and using that money on education and other social initiatives is a good idea. We certainly don’t want to end up like the USA "I think finding the money from elsewhere should be the first priority. Then if crime rates etc go down then so should the Police budget. The Police are woefully underfunded and it wasn’t so long ago people were blaming the Torys for decimating the Police. | |||
