Disgusting display of Racism

[Fubsy]

It's the "implication" that has been inserted into the psyche of society. Unfortunately we're in a language war and words no longer mean what they appear to, especially when it comes to antonyms around race and sex in particular.

Of course white lives matter, but not to the exclusion of others, which as Whitewater points out, is exactly what these racists want - they've tainted the opposite of black lives matter with a very exclusionary definition which people have no choice but to distance themselves from.

Imagine climbing a mountain to display a banner that states something we already know.

That the people displaying the banner are deeply unpleasant individuals ?

 

[Lysander]

But what is abhorrent about the banner?

Nothing is abhorrent about the banner, which is why the word 'abhorrent' is in quotes. It's a headline made to rile people up and to get the paper attention [which has worked].

Reverse it to helping only white kids and see what the reaction would be

Will Stormzy be supportive of trans-racials?

Oh so if that is the view, why did Burnley fc threaten life time bans for those who flew a banner over the stadium despite no apparent crime being committed?

An investigation by Burnley Football Club to identify those responsible for flying a "White Lives Matter" banner will continue despite police saying no crime is thought to have taken place.

The banner was flown over Manchester City's Etihad Stadium at the start of Monday's game, which Burnley lost 5-0.

Lancashire Constabulary concluded "no criminal offences have been disclosed".

Burnley FC said "those responsible are not welcome at Turf Moor" and the club would issue lifetime bans.

Why did Blackpool Airport ban banner flights after the incident?

Blackpool Airport has announced that it has suspended banner flights from its runway after a plane carrying the message "White Lives Matter Burnley" was flown over a football match.

"This, in no way, represents what Burnley Football Club stands for and we will work fully with the authorities to identify those responsible and issue lifetime bans."

Burnley FC state categorically that they do not support the idea that white lives matter.

Are you sure that the outrage wasn't at the message of the banner? It seems to be that although not being a racist message it is being treated as such while 'BLM' us an acceptable phrase despite the two phrases being identical only swapping the word white for black.

They're not the same though are they?
Nobody involved in the Black Lives Matter movement is saying that only black lives matter, or that all lives don't matter, or that white lives don't matter.
The issue is that white lives have always mattered more.
Even me as a 63 year old as seen that all my life.

So then why is the slogan not 'black lives matter too' or 'all lives matter'?

Plenty of people that supported BLM absolutely castigated people that posted the phrase "all lives matter" on social media. I saw it first hand.

Where are you getting the idea that white lives matter more? Who has ever said this bar a few fringe lunatics? I've literally never seen anyone suggest such a thing.

Because to many many people black lives do NOT matter.

Rich white kid shot by police and its news , poor black kid and nobody cares.

little white girl dies it can make huge headlines , little black girl dies and nobody cares.

In truth this as much about poverty as it is about race but if you cannot see there is at least some truth in this I despair.

On top of that is genuine racism not just small amounts of bias but genuine hate and when that hate is matched with carrying guns and the seeming ability to murder without recourse
then surely you must see the BLM people have a point.

Yes the racism card is thrown about a little too easy these days on all sides but surely we all understand that racists do exist and some of them have very extreme views now imagine that
some of those extremists are police officers and carry guns. Then forget the imagining because the evidence is very clear that in America this is exactly what is happening.

Hence the point of the statement that they matter too...or all lives matter. Inclusive of all.

This was a glaring mistake, it should have been Black Lives Matter so can we at least try to be treated the same as Whites or close to it?

Are you saying black people in this country don't have the same laws protecting them as white people do?

I'm saying they are 100% treated differently.

 

[Dis86]

True I guess, they have more laws protecting them.

 

[Chris Wilson]

Burnley Football Club will feel the need to prostrate themselves at the feet of those that the town have allowed to take control of the council and other bodies, so ingratiating themselves with a support for all and any anti white rhetoric is just a sign of how some towns have now felt it equitable to capitulate to the whims of their ethnic leadership. Whether it's a healthy situation for England as a whole is a matter for conjecture, and probably somewhat taboo in some quarters.

 

[Roar87]

I'm saying they are 100% treated differently.

Yes and the reason is the disparity in the amount of crimes on average committed by that group. Are you also outraged old people aren't treated in the same way as young people or that men aren't treated the same as women given women and old people commit less crime?

The “all lives matter” brigade have had it explained to them so many times it has to be trolling at this point.
