Perhaps they should stop the kneeling now. on 19:56 - Aug 26 by Humpty
I've absolutely no idea what you're on about.
Do you really think I find an old man being beaten up funny?
Why are you refusing to explain yourself on these threads then?
It seems like you are all for people being beaten up, murdered, homes destroyed, businesses burned to the ground. Yet you can’t articulate why.
You are even now laughing at a young black free thinker without the shackles of the left just because she doesn’t fit with your narrative.
You have had about 20 posts to explain all the accusations and uneducated waffle you post. You have failed to do it each time. If that means as a result we have to take what you type to come to our own conclusions then you can’t really complain.
Me for example, you cannot make unfounded accusations against because I will explain my points happily whenever and will answer questions on the subject if anything is unclear such is the depth of common sense, statistics and reality on my side. Being on the left doesn’t give you that luxury though I understand.

If those lefties were endlessly starting threads about how brilliant Stalin was and what a great idea it is to murder farmers I'd agree with you. But I never see that.
What I do see is the same right wingers obsessing about BLM constantly, always justifying any police action against people of colour, denying that black people even face racism in this country and generally showing a complete lack of empathy for anyone who is not exactly like them.
And no, they wouldn't have liked MLK when he was alive, no matter how often they use his name to attack people opposing racism.
"What I do see is the same right wingers obsessing about BLM constantly, always justifying any police action against people of colour, denying that black people even face racism in this country and generally showing a complete lack of empathy for anyone who is not exactly like them."
I find the argument you make here disingenuous, a bad faith argument. BLM are burning American cities, looting and attacking innocent people in the street. The Democrat politicians are supporting them, Hollywood is supporting them, the BBC is supporting them etc. What are the posters of this board supposed to do, ignore that this is going on? Of course people, the world over, are discussing it...and what do BLM and their supporters wish us to discuss? Institutionalised racism and specifically the racism of the American (and British!) police. 'Defund the police' So what do we find when asked to consider these police shootings as race crimes? Well, what anyone with a cool head and a brain finds is that the individuals being shot are violent (sometimes armed) criminals resisting arrest...and what do we find when asked to consider statistics? Again, cool headed non-partisan, people find the statistics to show that white people are just as likely to be shot (more likely, it could be argued) in similar circumstances.
The vast majority of posters on this board, and indeed the vast majority of the country, couldn't give less of a shit about the colour of people's skin...they are being invited to see everything through the prism of race by BLM and their supporters.

Home Run.
Bang on the money on every single point.
Are we supposed to ignore the atrocities happening?
Are we supposed to ignore the circumstances in which these criminals are being shot just because they are black and pretend it was just BECAUSE they were black?
When we look objectively at the racial injustices being claimed, are we expected to ignore the fact they do not support what is being claimed?
When we ask questions about it in order to discuss the indifferences between the statistics and the reality vs the claim, why is it that the debate is knocked back time after time and avoided at all costs?
It’s an election year, as usual we need a media driven racial divide to boost Democrat chances to cover for their horrendous policies. Their arguments make no sense yet people are swallowing it without question hook line and sinker. Wake up people.

Back of the net!
Had these victims been White, there would be no Burning, Looting, Murdering.
It only fits the narrative of the left when it’s white on black!
It’s causing massive division in America and over here, all in the name of a movement that is supposed to heal division.
It’s just a shame that people have to shout ‘racist’ at those of us that don’t agree with their liberal lefty stance.
And calling us ‘far right’ is laughable, as has been said, we don’t care about the colour of a persons skin, we are all human beings!

ANTIFA use quick drying cement to try and block off exists and set police precinct on fire attempting to burn those inside alive.... peacefully of course.

You mean this incident where he was being violently attacked and defended himself?
He was interviewed that day before the incident where he said the following:-
In an interview with the Daily Caller that night, Rittenhouse refers to his presence as his "job" and explains his self-appointed responsibilities in police-like vernacular.
"People are getting injured and our job is to protect this business," Rittenhouse says in the 19-second clip. "And part of my job also is to protect people. If someone is hurt, I'm running into harm's way. That's why I have my rifle; I've gotta protect myself obviously. But I also have my med kit."

What a mess trumps America is. You are looking at the UK in ten yrs time. The raise of the Looney left and the rabid right has made the world a dangerous place

We are about 40 pages in with regards to the racial divide here, still not one post trying to explain where and how it exists after many requests to do so.
There is a reason for that.
