Black Lives Matter protest at London City Aiport on 13:53 - Sep 6 with 2019 views | Lblock | I'm interested that the BLM movement have no commenced officially designating areas and boroughs of London as black. New am first for this accolade. Where next? What does this mean for middle aged whitey like me? Do I need to check in before accessing these areas? Do I need BLM approval or a dissention to buy a house in these areas? What is going on? I've said it before and I'll say it again; you have separatist promotional or protest groups based on colour, religion etc and all you'll breed is more separatism C0cks | |

Black Lives Matter protest at London City Aiport on 11:55 - Sep 6 by NW5Hoop | I'm not sure this is the world's best thought out protest, but climate change will have a disproportionate effect on places where people of colour live — South Asia, sub-Saharan Africa — so their fundamental point is right. |

I completely understand BLM in the context of policing in the US, but not sure of its relevance to LCY. | |

"Black lives matter" is not exclusionary of other races. It's a response to the institutional racism and violence in America and the wider world. When unarmed white people are killed by police at the frequency that black people are, maybe a white lives matter slogan would be justified. When the killers of Trayvon Martin, Freddie Gray, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, Mark Duggan,Alton Sterling, Philando Castille and many more are held accountable for their actions, maybe there'll be an argument for "all lives matter". | | | |

I agree with this. I completely understand the U.S. movement. Didn't realise there was a British equivalent and obviously know nothing about it. This morning's actions and the logic behind their statement seem confusing to me. | |

Poor people generally get a shi t deal irrespective of race. LCY isn't where it is because of some racist indifference to black people, it's where it is because it's on the outskirts of London on a relatively low cost, formerly heavily industrialised plot of land with close access to The City and Canary Wharf; the customer base it overwhelmingly serves. It makes sense to be there. Given their concern about pollution, deprivation a lack of opportunities etc will they be campaigning for the poor sods who live near chemical works in places like Teeside, Widnes, Runcorn etc with similarly low life chances? Surely this is a class issue rather than something along racial lines? | |

Black Lives Matter protest at London City Aiport on 17:42 - Sep 6 with 1425 views | Discodroids | Black lives matter Because they all live in poverty apparently, and do not use Airplanes, living as they do on the runway of the Hard-Right Heathrow Airport which is responsible for the preventable deaths of more than 100% of people - especially black people's lives, which matter more - due to accelerating Far-Right Climate Change which is all caused by neoliberal white members of the 1%, who rule the world and indeed elsewhere. Hope I haven't left anything out . | |

From the Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/sep/06/climate-change-racist-cris "Why are communities like east London’s Newham, where 40% of the population survive on £20,000 or less, hosting airports such as London City, where passengers earn on average £114,000 a year? When we say black lives matter, we mean all black lives, and that includes the lives of those who live in proximity to airports, to power plants, to the busiest of roads, and whose children grow up with asthma, and skin conditions exacerbated by air pollution. Black British Africans are 28% more likely than their white counterparts to be exposed to air pollution." Sorry folks, it's a class issue. That's what you should be campaigning about. Also, I'd question the stats on power stations as most black people live in urban areas, and unless I'm going mad, the majority of power stations seem to be out in rural or at least semi-rural settings. | |

I have no issue at all with white people showing solidarity and campaigning on issues that overwhelmingly or exclusively impact upon black people, with rich people doing likewise when campaigning for social equality, but this lot just seem like a confused bunch of clowns to me. | |

Apart from Duggan didn't all those deaths occur in America? I'd ask what the hell that has to do with a runway in East London? I'd also argue Duggan being shot probably saved at least one other poor woman having to bury her son. Society is a better place with him out of it. Lastly where are the marches to stop black kids stabbing and shooting other black kids? Seems to be everyone else's fault bar the people who bring them into the world and should be teaching them right from wrong. | | | |

I can tell the good learned people of Black Lives Matter that when The london city airport was first proposedin the early 80's , the area was approx 80% white. By the time it opened in 1988 it was still a Predominantly white area. Damn these facts , damn them all to hell. [Post edited 6 Sep 2016 18:54]
