šŸ‘Ø šŸ‘ØšŸ½ šŸ‘ØšŸæ Black Lives Matter protest

… there have been some posts on the last few weeks that have been, and that is what Fatso and I were referring to. Either we encourage posters to call it out, our our silence suggests we are comfortable with it… we do have a choice, but it’s a different one

Jesus Christ. Using Dominic Raab to bolster your point just shows how weak the point is.

Quote them then. Confront those posts.

Do not waste everybody’s time with wholesale accusations.

Just know that I am unmoved by any threat of anyone moving.

Well for me it stops when there is no longer a need for it or a new form of protest that keeps it on top the agenda is introduced… it will only achieve its aims if it continues and grows like The Abolitionists, the suffragettes etc, they kept going despite the ridicule… the movement is directly attacking the attitude that we should give up on it because it has little impact and just go back to normal…

I did.

Like father like son. Your views have become more and more right wing and unpleasant over time. You’ve gone from weird conspiracy twat to someone who has a problem with immigrants, transgender, Jews etc etc. You haven’t got a clue. You have set the tone for this board and opened the doorway to some unpleasant views. Your dad spouted racist nonsense before you and you’re happy to continue that with added levels of bigotry. You can’t even keep your own friends on the site, intniki being the prime example - you could see her getting more frustrated by the abhorrent views being expressed on here.

Keep noting all of those who have left the site pap, the list gets longer and longer.

Hopefully I’ll never gave the misfortune of having to interact with you again.

Haha, do you realise how that makes you sound? :grinning:

As I said, I am unmoved by the thought of anyone moving. Please let me know when you’ve gone so I can tally you up with all the rest.

Nice to finish on a libel, eh?

Have you fucked off yet?

So, anyone you disagree with politically automatically holds invalid views on everything then?

Yes - I’ve asked Bletch to erase my account and data. If you’re capable you can do it.

It’s nothing to do with his politics, it’s to do with the fact that the guy is fucking stupid. He thought takinga knee came from Game of Thrones FFS.

Jolly good. The old man can come back when you’re gone.

He’ll fit in nicely with the rest of the cunts

Enjoy Flakeweb, or wherever you end up next.

No he didn’t. He said that he thought it may have come from game of thrones but wasn’t sure. I was replying to MOT who said he couldn’t understand why anyone would view the gesture of kneeling as one of subjugation, which happens to be the way I interpret it.

Forgive me if I don’t put a great deal of stock into the opinion of a guy who couldn’t even be bothered to google ā€œwhere does taking a knee come fromā€ before deciding it would be good to float a theory about GoT in the national media.

I’m just saying that he’s probably not the best person to turn to when defending the position that taking a knee ā€˜seems like’ a form of subjugation.

Keep telling folks to just fuck off from your sand pit and your’ll be left playing with yourself…

It was plainly an off the cuff remark as opposed to a prepared response to a political question. I don’t know anything about game of thrones either, presumably that makes me an idiot as well.

And here is the real problem.

Footballers take a knee, show solidarity for BLM.

BUT where is it actually going? Sure awareness has been made but so what?
From my FB feed it seems to be polarising opinion, not uniting it.
Trump has turned it into a left v right battle so half my yank friends post White Lives matters. Today a surge of Police Lives Matter posts.
In UK Twitter it seems to be pandering to the little englander/Brexit factions.

It seems to be stagnating and adding to the strength of minority opinion.

Taking a knee was poignant, but doing it all season? Fine IF we can see clear progress.

It is not the fault of the players or their views the CAUSE has to become Political to create & legislate for real change. But has it been hijacked? Where is it really going? Are the minor victories being hidden?
How long until anti-vaxers, anti-maskers, anti-BLM drown the true narrative?

I’m not feeling it. That doesn’t make me a racist, it makes me concerned that Karen from Facebook is winning

So it’s ok politicians of his ā€˜stature’ to make off the cuff remarks about something so globally sensitive as opposed to use solid research… ? Well suppose ā€˜experts’ no longer needed as we have all had enough of them… no wonder this country has gone to shit…
