Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 16:52 - Sep 6 with 1382 views | dune | So you think they'd be no outrage if there was a protest against the effects of global warming against white people? That'd be racist, but it's ok to protest if it's for black people. And what about Chinese people and brown people, don't they count either? Actually could you define who is and isn't a black person - what's the cut off point in skin tone? Are Indians black or aren't they dark enough to qualify to matter? [Post edited 6 Sep 2016 16:58]

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 16:56 - Sep 6 with 1370 views | ericofarabia | Sitting on an Airport Runway and causing disruption to the normal operations of an airport leading to diversions, extended holding and burning up more fuel etc isn't exactly the best way to protect people's lives or the enviroment... completely the opposite in fact, it could put lives in danger, and added inconvenience and affected passengers having to be transported to another airport causes more polution Total Retards. | | | |
Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 17:03 - Sep 6 with 1358 views | dirk_doone | I had a look at their web site. One of their aims is to disrupt the traditional nuclear family unit and create Black Villages of children to be looked after collectively by the local community. From what I've seen in London, they seem to be suceeding. http://blacklivesmatter.com/guiding-principles/ | |

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 17:08 - Sep 6 with 1347 views | dune | What is and what isn't a black person? Is it from creamy Cocoa and darker, or just dark chocolate? Or is it a matter of choice I.e I am white but if I want to call myself a black person then I am one? [Post edited 6 Sep 2016 17:13]

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 17:14 - Sep 6 with 1330 views | dirk_doone | Given this official statement from their web site, it is interesting to ask where the cut-off point for membership would be. How much white would you need to have in you before you were banned from joining? "And, to keep it real—it is appropriate and necessary to have strategy and action centered around Blackness without other non-Black communities of color, or White folks for that matter, needing to find a place and a way to center themselves within it." I assume, although it's not made explicit, that "other non-Black communities of color" refers to Asians. They remind me of a modern version of the Black Panthers who, rather than fighting racism, ultimately doomed themselves by promoting their own version of it. [Post edited 6 Sep 2016 17:19]

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 17:17 - Sep 6 with 1319 views | dune | So they actually do use a dulux colour chart to measure whether their members are black enough to matter. | |

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 17:37 - Sep 6 with 1284 views | dune | Just read that all of the black lives matter protestors who chained themselves to the runway were WHITE. | |

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 17:55 - Sep 6 with 1265 views | saint22 | Black lives do matter and its a valid cause........but i fail to see how the airport is to blame? | | | |
Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 17:59 - Sep 6 with 1263 views | ericofarabia | So what happens if you go on holiday and get to a nice Natural Tan or Cocoa shade, join up, but a few months later revert to a pale pasty Rab C Nesbitt albino colour? | | | |
Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 18:02 - Sep 6 with 1261 views | dune | Why don't brown, yellow and white lives matter? | |

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 18:10 - Sep 6 with 1248 views | ericofarabia | If we Black List all Airports, do they suddenly become acceptable and matter? | | | |

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 18:48 - Sep 6 with 1212 views | arfurdent | agree with the overall aims but an airport runway, seriously. Should have landed a plane on them | |

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 19:37 - Sep 6 with 1187 views | saint68 | The very fact that colour is even brought into the equation makes it wholly invalid and is demeaning to every other person on the planet!!. Common decency and respect would be far more deserving of promoting than this mega-bullshit self-appeasing nonsense. | |

Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 19:58 - Sep 6 with 1161 views | saint22 | Why are all the protesters white? | | | |
Black Lives Matter closing London City Airport on 20:00 - Sep 6 with 1156 views | dune | Because it's the in thing for middle class youths to be offended on behalf of people who aren't offended. | |
