Imagine a world where a business doesn't have to have a stance on everything or anything.
Oh wait, but what's the new saying these people like to use?
Words are violence, and so is silence.

Silence (or, white silence) equals violence is a play on a speech made by Martin Luther King Jr. quotes,

https://www.facebook.com/MLKWestfieldNJ/posts/10155518515400560

"There comes a time when silence is betrayal." "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter." "In the end, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends." "Only in the darkness can you see the stars."

some call these friends, "allies". Probably best to boycott white-owned businesses,

Anthony Joshua hits back at critics who called his Black Lives Matter speech racist

Boxing world champion attended a Black Lives Matter protest in Watford where he read out a speech on behalf of someone who could not be in attendance, only for a video to be edited and shared to make it look like the comments were his own

‘If you think I’m a racist, go f*** yourself!’: Anthony Joshua hits back at criticism of Black Lives Matter protest speech

In the video, Joshua is heard to be said: “Show them where it hurts.

“Abstain from spending your money in their shops and economies, and invest in black-owned businesses.”

The video quickly went viral and led to Joshua receiving accusations of being a racist on social media, which prompted a stern response on Sunday night to tell them to “go f*** themselves”.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Joshua said: “If you think I'm a racist, go f*** yourself!

“If you watch the full video, the speech was passed around for someone to read and I took the lead.

“I personally spoke from the heart about the Watford community, ideas of us personally investing seven figures to create unity and opportunities and adding change to the African/Caribbean community.

“Shops aren't the issue here. Before you talk s***, you better boycott racism.”

At least this twat won't moan when Hispanis, Jews, Asians etc. say they must invest in their own businesses. Of course white liberals must kneel and can't say it. On your knees now.
 
I am watching Baldwin-Buckley debate related vids and learnt that he won the debate by a huge margin by what looked like a all-white americans. Just one of those people must be having more conscience than the all Botha's shi11y children here.

Yet you reply to my comment about people being triggered over Superbalist while you were talking about how everyone else is triggered.
Convenient.

Huh I thought you were on about the Magic:The Gathering thing... how did I get that confused? The Superbalist thing is dumb, I don't think they need to take a stand one way or another.

Well in the campaign, people warned about Trumps hostility to the LGBTI group and once he was in, banned trans people from the military, without even having full consultation with the leaders of the military.

Bill Buckley's Firing Line over on the Hoover Institute's YouTube page are amazing to watch. Clearly biased though but still interesting to watch due to his guests. It's where I learnt Muhammad Ali was a raging racist who wanted whites to live with whites and blacks to live with blacks, and threw any form of reconciliation out the door. Then again, what can you expect when you're a follower of the Nation of Islam and Malcolm X.

For those that want to watch.

Yes he was very biased, especially with topics against America.

Germany's biggest mistake was breaking Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact before they had captured the UK, thus opening a second front. If the UK was invaded by the Nazis, there would have been no conceivable way of opening the western front. Which would have meant that the entire German war machine would have been on the Eastern Front and the Russians wouldn't have had a chance.

Nice, but Stalin still steamrolled the Nazis.

In my view, BLM is slowly becoming a bit more than it's 'promoted' purpose, and it has now become a requirement to have an opinion and when your opinion isn't the desired opinion you are 'lynched' and when you are silent you are also 'lynched'. This is exactly where Terry Crews was right, and I have been saying this since this ignited with George Floyd, and Crews was also 'lynched'.

I am again going to quote McKaiser's opinion piece,

www.theguardian.com

We know from South Africa that toppling statues is no silver bullet – but it's a start | Eusebius McKaiser

In 2015, students at Cape Town university took down the statue of colonialist Cecil Rhodes. But what has truly changed since?, says broadcaster and political analyst Eusebius McKaiser
www.theguardian.com www.theguardian.com

Deeper work is necessary to get us where we want to be. And this deeper work could expose the limits of solidarity with white allies, who may find their own interests and relationships under uncomfortable scrutiny.

one systematic system isn't replaced with another systematic system, and to which ends?

Helen Zille posted this opinion piece and it is a good read to consume,

It touches on more than only critical race theory. This is also another good opinion piece shared by Zille,

and though these are academic opinions, it does apply to our societies as a whole. We all have bias, but is time to have an impartial look at our race relations.

In the end BLM will only inspire suppression elsewhere, like here @ home where systematic change is instituted.

No, Stalin did not "steamroll" the Nazis. Military deaths on the Soviet's side were doubled compared to that of Germany. Never mind the sheer amount of Soviet civilian deaths. The Nazis couldn't have been beaten without the Soviets, but it's highly disingenuous to say the Soviets steamrolled. The Eastern Front was barbaric, let's not demean it.
