This thread is misnamed. BLM is a reaction against a very real problem. It has nothing to do with "if the moon is made of green cheese" type statements.

I don't like the French. My experience with them has been unpleasant.
I don't like white or black French. Does this make me a racist? If it does, in the words from that now racist movie, I don't give as damn. Posted by Hasbeen, Sunday, 19 July 2020 11:33:42 PM

Good point Is Mise- You'll have to ask the Black Lives Matters people I guess what they mean by White Privilege. For me White People probably refers to my ancestral line and their communities since ancient times- British. To me that seems to be the limit of my responsibility to other ethnic groups. I could extend that to Europe if I looked back thousands of years. It's a little complex because the BLM movement is worldwide.

Before you even start with Black Lives Matters, you want to take a better look at whats happened since 2016.
You need to ask yourself this: Are Democrats willing to destroy America to remove Trump from office? - The answer is 'Damn right they are'. The Democrats stole the 2018 mid-terms and installed Nancy Pelosi as speaker on the back of the Russian collusion narrative, which was all lies. The FBI knew this in Jan 2017, there should never have been an investigation. It was all made up bs. Its Democratic Mayors that have deliberately facilitated the current BLM unrest. They are deliberately trying to cause race riots. Just wait until November, then you'll see what chaos is. - You don't actually think they've planned on toning things down between now and the election do you? BLM started after the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, by George Zimmerman in 2012. BLM is not about equality, its about revenge against white people, and in the bigger picture political insurrection against a second term of Donald Trump organised by Democrats. Democrats are connected to Antifa, and Antifa have co-opted BLM. You all need to follow the history of Antifa back to Nazi Germany and also go back to the 60's race riots, Black Panthers, communist underpinnings, support for cop killings, Angela Davis and all that stuff.

Enjoy it, while it lasts
Paul1405, Cheers, I'd enjoy it even more if there were the slightest chance that you contributed but my (beer) gut tells me you're a master tax avoider ! Unlike most of us who purchased the rest of our lives during our working years. Posted by individual, Monday, 20 July 2020 7:06:22 AM

Well Albie, maybe some people in the survey were multiply prejudiced against several groups. If Indy took the survey he might tick a dozen boxes. My wife is well familiar with prejudiced people, unlike me, she has experienced it throughout life. Way back in 1955 as a 5 years old, and her first day at a Maori school run by Pakeha (European teachers), the first thing her teacher did was pin an English name on her dress, and said that is your new name, use it, not your Maori name. The teachers would smack the children on the legs if they caught them talking to each other in their native tongue, telling them, you only speak English here, my wife's English was not very good in those days, they spoke Maori at home. She has absolutely no animosity towards Europeans at all today, despite some very bad past experiences that she has told me about.
