Is BLM a racist slogan ?

[dontbelieveawordofit]

It's the 'game' that racists enjoy playing as opposed to those who despise racism...

Do you really believe that b ullshit you just typed?

i sense someone who’s parents couldn’t be bothered to send him to school.

all that rant and you only questioned my education point. i’ll take it you agree with the other bs i typed. great!

lets address why black and/or other ethnic minorities don’t get the same education as ‘the rest’ , despite the fact that in some areas in this country there are FULL classes of black children afforded , nay enjoying the same free, if not better education than my kids get. get over yourself. throw your ‘get out of jail’ ‘racism victim pass’ in the bin and get yourself a life in SAFE FREE britain.

It's been three months and he's only just had a letter.

Last time you murdered somebody, after breaking into their home and shooting them in bed, how long was it before you were arrested?

How many hundreds of thousands of people had to march in protest for that to happen?

totally agree with you .the guy murdered someone in cold blood , just like George Floyd...... nobody is disputing that or the fact that the way they deal with it is completely wrong.

and to answer the question , they’ll never find the body.

Why would you think that? Police officers are almost never convicted of crimes like this, especially when the victim is black. Just look at how long it has taken for them to even be fired, let alone charged. Making the assumption that he'll even be charged is massively optimistic.

I think we've found Dom Cummins's brother.
He wanted to protest about people spraying paint onto statues, so he spray painted a slogan onto a statue.
That was the excuse he gave!

He should have done what Dom did, and drive 60 miles to test his eyesight, with his wife and child in the car!
(That's the UK's chief political advisor to the PM, BTW)

Just a case of double standards...

Still not seeing any racism?

If one slogan is racist then so must be the other.

It's not racist to say it is hypocritical.

In the context of BLM, it is not racist. It is a protest movement because black people are unjustly treated by white racist police.
As JohnD has explained, white people are not the victims of disproportionate police brutality.

To use an analogy, (sorry durhamnplumber, bear with me, or if you prefer 'bare with me') if the lower paid employees, that were doing exactly the same work, and were exactly equally qualified, were protesting for equal pay, that would be justified, yes?
If then the better paid employees then demonstrated for better pay, and to retain their better paid status, that would not be justifiable, agreed?

we can develop this analogy further, to the chagrin of durhamplumber.

Nonsense.

Let's check that.

"Jews should not be murdered in gas chambers"

"It's racist to say that. Nazis should not be murdered in gas chambers either. I will march to protest against Nazis being murdered in gas chambers."

 

[Scarlet Pimpernel]

OMG! Two analogies in quick succession. I do feel sorry for durhamplumber, he'll be having a fit!
