Black Lives Matter

As promoted on the Nations Propoganda Mouthpiece today. https://www.manxradio.com/news/isle-of-man-news/black-lives-matter-protest-to-be-held-in-douglas/ I have no problem with this, and in principle is good to show solidarity.

#WhiteJobsMatter

The usual promotors of discrimination based on race will of course respond "All Jobs Matter"... And they are right but of course too stupid to recognize the irony.

Disrespecting Churchill on D-Day :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:. Low class scum.

Fortunately Churchill will forever be remembered by patriotic Brits unlike these losers.

The problem is that the ‘new breed’ see the statue (or memorial) as an institution against their ideology. It has been targeted by various protests.

Yes, it is indeed sad to devalue the ‘memories’, especially on the D-Day anniversary. All lives died on that day, and it is a dishonour to disrespect what those soldiers and volunteers did on that day. Again, this is where the BLM cause loses legitimacy and the only correction is to have BLM speak out against these protesters.

I suspect the media has been told (by someone?) to play down the looting as to not encourage more looting.

Or to play down the looting so as to frame LE as brutalising innocents , which no doubt there are examples of .

Trevor Noah Reflects on George Floyd Protests: 'Police in America Are Looting Black Bodies'

The Daily Show host gave an impassioned speech calling out those denouncing looting

As protesters across the country demand justice for victims of police brutality and racism, Trevor Noah delivered a powerful reflection on the unrest in an 18-minute video.

The video, posted Friday on The Daily Show's YouTube account, has since amassed over 5.4 million views. Noah, 36, began by addressing Amy Cooper, a white woman who last month called the cops on a black man in Central Park after he asked her to leash her dog, per park regulations. (After video of the exchange went viral, Cooper, who has since apologized, was fired from her job.)



"What's really interesting about what's happening in America right now is that a lot of people don't seem to realize how dominoes connect — how one piece knocks another piece that knocks another piece, and in the end creates a giant wave," said Noah. "Each story seems completely unrelated, and yet at the same time, I feel like everything that happens in the world connects to something else in some way, shape, or form. And I think that this news cycle that we witnessed in the last week was a perfect example of that. Amy Cooper, George Floyd, and the people of Minneapolis."

"Amy Cooper was for many people, I think, the catalyst," he said. "Here you have this woman who — we've all seen the video now — blatantly knew how to use the power of her whiteness to threaten the life of another man and his blackness. What we saw with her was a really, really powerful explicit example of an understanding of racism in a structural way."

Noah went on to address George Floyd, whose death has sparked nationwide protests. The demonstrations began earlier last week in Minneapolis when footage of Floyd — an unarmed black man who died after a white police officer pinned him to the ground with a knee on his neck — began circulating online. In the video, three other cops stood by as Floyd said repeatedly he couldn't breathe and pleaded for the officer to stop.

 
'A giant mistake': Police jeopardized more than protesters' civil rights with crackdowns

Rubber bullets and flash-bangs don't just tear through crowds — they jeopardize years of police reform
"What I’d like to see is police not just taking a knee but standing in support of systemic, sustainable police reform," a policing consultant said.

Anthony Batts knows painfully well how simmering anger over police abuses can explode into riots.

He’s seen it happen as the police chief in Long Beach, California, then in Oakland, California, and finally in Baltimore, when his efforts to reform the city’s police department ended with a 2015 uprising triggered by the death of Freddie Gray, who suffered a neck injury while in police custody.


Since he lost the Baltimore job over criticisms that he failed to keep order during the riots, Batts has traveled the country as a consultant, urging police commanders to prepare for civil disturbances. Some didn’t seem to take his warning seriously, telling him it wouldn’t happen in their hometowns.

“And now they’re seeing what I’ve been talking about,” Batts said.
 
From many who have reasonably spoken out about the issue, I appreciate the personal views by Marques Brownlee,

 

Seems that MSM can not tell police brutality and racism apart , then proceeds to want more racism.

Bugger!
I was hoping the looting would fix racism.
Or the kneeling.
Or that long list of black charities to donate too, with literature and movies you must watch.
Or painting BLM everywhere.
Or defunding the copes.

When do we reach break even?

I thought the 7million dollar coffin and the 12 million donated to floyds family would fix the racism too , seems i was wrong.

Except that whites and white males in particular are the most employed demographic. So you could certainly say that but you would saying nothing more than some laughable BS.

It demonstrates that you still clearly don't understand what black lives matter even means.

This should be fun. Assuming what you say is true, why do you think that is so?

But of course let us see those numbers for the following demographics:
Chinese men
Japanese men
Afrikaans men
English ( British descent)
Black men in general
Black men by tribe.
Jewish men.
Mexican men.

Just these for now oh little race hustler.
