Black Lives Matter Protests Today in UK

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

Of course it doesn't. To be a policeman, you need to be a good person.
Yet if we had more black and brown faces out for these young girls in Charlotte or Austin rather than starting with Gun welding criminals like George Floyd or Mark Duggen then we might be united...

Do you not see that racism, and its subsequent inequality may have created such criminality? I'm referring to your gun-toting comments.
Inequality, poverty, poor life-chances creates its own problems.
Don't conflate sexual abuse with racism.
They are different and separate issues.

I repeat, Singapore, with its richest (per capita) state, coincidentally, has one of the lowest rates of crime.

Are you having me on..... You tell that to a young girl standing in a room naked with all those grubby greasy hands all over her. Sick


For the record I would be the first to defend a young Muslim girl.

I think you misunderstand everything Bodd.

I don't think I do. I think you do....

that isnt very helpful.

The USA has one of the highest GDP / capita in the world -but it also has huge poverty.

Singapore has no minimum wage and has plenty of poor people

When you get the like

that isnt very helpful.

Quite, USA has one of the worst inequality records.
So GDP alone does not create an equal, healthy harmonious society.

"SINGAPORE - Income inequality here tapered to its narrowest in almost two decades, after income for the bulk of households rose by up to 5.6 per cent while the top 10 per cent saw their income grow just 0.4 per cent...
Singapore government leaders pledged to make tackling social inequality a key priority. Steps to boost low-wage workers' incomes have picked up speed, with the National Wages Council recommending higher wage thresholds for a broader range of workers.

Gun welding criminals like George Floyd

do not excuse what happened to George Floyd because he had a criminal past, that is shameful.

you are trying to argue the protestors are hypocrites because he had a criminal past, that is shameful.

 

[Bodd]

When you say Unite do you mean United.... As in we all live in harmony together and fight evil what ever form it takes...

 

[Bodd]

do not excuse what happened to George Floyd because he had a criminal past, that is shameful.

you are trying to argue the protestors are hypocrites because he had a criminal past, that is shameful.

Where's your limits Notch. Would you be in support of protest if he where a a time served Pedo or murderer.

Where is Notches limits.

[Bodd]

If Mottie, and everyone else, especially those that deny that there is a problem

I’m not denying there’s a problem at all. There is a problem. There is a big racism issue in Newham where I used to live and still work. Park on a yellow line and within 10 minutes max, one of the many parking wardens that patrol the streets on scooters will be along and you’ll get a ticket. 20 minutes after that it’ll be towed. £250 to get it back from the pound. Quite rightly. However, go down any street that has a mosque in it on Friday afternoons and you’ll see one car parked wholly on the pavement, one car parked on double yellows and another car double parked on the double yellow. They never get tickets. May be a coincidence but I’ve never seen a white parking control officer either. Would you call that racism or positive discrimination?

 

[sodthisforfun]

Such hardship!!

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

If people want to excuse the killing of an unarmed, handcuffed black person in police custody, that is their right.
If people want to justify racism because of other crimes in society, that is their right.
If people want to deny that racism exists, that is their right.
If people want to argue that racism is not that bad, that is their right.
If people want to suggest that racism does not cause inequality, and or crime, that is their right.

But I'll continue to disagree with them.

Well, you will keep telling us how you can afford to finance your lavish criminal lifestyle.

As long as there is double standards then you will never get rid of racism.
