The uncomfortable question concerning this and the follow up question is why are Asian Americans so successful? Or Indian British?
If you replace âpolice killingsâ with âstop and searchâ then we have our own problem here.
There is loads of subtle detail under those headlines that has been used to justify different treatment of black people by the police.
âIf âtheyâ didnât commit so many crimes then âtheyâ wouldnât be questioned/arrested/killed so frequentlyâ
And on the surface that seems like a valid point, but for me it ALL stems from being treated differently so being made to feel different so acting differently. True equality would lead to feeling part of society so working from the inside to support it and make it better.
Itâs all in here for me - disenfranchisement, gangs, statues, crime rates, etc - all in hereâŚ
A humorous exposure of an uncomfortable truthâŚ
The next awkward question is are Black African British equally disenfranchised as the Black Caribbean British? If weâre going to get to the bottom of this these difficult questions need to be addressed, is this in certain postcodes?
I would like to apologise to the world for collecting the tokens on the sides of Robinsonâs jam and exchanging them for badges. I appreciate that at the time I was only five, but that still does not excuse my actions - I should have known better and been more sensitive.
I think what is more important is how you react now to the challenge that things arenât right.
Five year old you isnât to blame. Obviously.
If the parents of five year old you were told it was wrong and shouldnât be happening, and they intellectually understood the argument and either didnât care, or felt superior so encouraged you to collect âgolliwogsââŚ
âŚthen, as people that should have known better, they would shoulder some âblameâ.
Not that âblameâ is a helpful concept when the future is more malleable than the immutable past.
Can we? Do you honestly believe that? This is an inclusive process for all?
Iâm not sure what you mean by âCan we?â in response to my statement
We the populace.
Putting my tin foil hat on for a moment
The hidden elite have done a masterful job of switching attention away from #BLM into âdigustâ at statuegate.
More social media rants about this than cold blooded live streamed look at the camera murder in the US.
Iâm so wishing I hadnât seen that article about trolling boys in the Russia thread
Yes by ensuring that in society we place education of equality everywhere and making it fucking unacceptable to express views that in anyway discriminate⌠its not difficult and does not go agains âfreedom of speechâ - as the right to live a life free form discrimination supersedes freedom to spout hate under any moral or ethical code you chose to follow.
The problem is all we have done previously is push such views underground, as witnessed with an increase in hate crimes as folks felt empowered by Farage and his disgusting campaign rhetoric.
We have never done enough to eradicate racism and discrimination in our schools and institutions - put 30 kids under 5 in a room of all colours together and than they DONT even notice a difference in any meaning full way⌠racist beliefs and attitude are taught by cunts⌠we need to teach the opposite much earlier, and that IMHO means we also remove symbols that celebrate those who become icons on back of racist policy and racial exploitation. We cant teach one thing without continually seeking to eradicate the symbols of success of the opposite⌠mixed messages dont work.
Mixed messages donât work like Rotherham, Oxford etc for the sake of community relations.
When can we speak out and for whom?
Equality is a word but it doesnât exist, as long as religion is adhered to how can it?
Women will be 2nd class citizens.
So will gays.
All under our very noses.
People have felt empowered this week after tearing down a statue to fight police in Hackney and film it and laugh.
Youâre correct about hatred being taught in schools hence all faith schools should disappear, I hope me and you can agree on this progressive stance?
Get rid of all the statues as well and put them in a museum, Gandhi and Malcolm X as well.
Hence my sceptical view on this, reform is quite obviously needed and needed for everyone, independent panels should be set up but very very awkward questions quite rightly will be asked by all.
Quite right about race & school.
My Kids went to a truly international school. Maybe no more than 20% of kids were English.
They were completely invisible to race religion or nationality. They were just classmates & friends.
They all found themselves in a moral mess at Uni because they didnât label people.
The UK Education system and the topics it chooses is as much to blame as political views imho
The extreme left would baulk and shit itself at real conflict of closing Muslim and Jewish schools though, theyâd go for Christian ones I suspect as many have already become mixed apart from private schools and some Catholic ones, weâre behind the times here in Liverpool but I donât see any reason why there are faith schools, its not a way of life for many and it should be classed as a voluntary exercise.
One of the uncomfortable truths is the extreme left have always been as fascist and closed minded as the right.
Whoâs thinking of the pigeons, thatâs what i want to know.
What the fuck have the extreme left got to do with anything.
As far as I know, theyâre not in power.
Theyâre not but the tories wonât control the narrative and way this goes, the extreme left are just like the right though, Stalin/Pot were every bit as fascist as Hitler.
