BLM movement hasnt done a single thing. The organisation hasn't either but it did raise some money, then blow it on rubbish.
People have championed black equality since the English pushed for slavery to be abolished, long before BLM was even a term.

BLM doesn't supercede what happened before it just because it has a fancy name. They drew attention to black deaths. Most black people would rather continue to draw attention to black life's.

I know countless black people that think BLM, org or movement, is beyond stupid. It's mainly woke lefty white people preaching nonsense. You'd struggle to find any sensible high profile people supporting BLM nowadays yet countless ones slating it. Sure it's just a coincidence 🤔

I feel sorry for your made up black wife, if she has to be married to a racist piece of crap like you

Slavery never sat well with the English

Don't let this stop you being a racist idiot and bringing the colour of someone's wife into the discussion for no reason whatsoever though

Never is an impossibly long time.

Even in the 11th century, the Domesday Book recorded 10% of England's population as being slaves. There's much more going farther back in time, but if we're talking the colonial period, it had a long, long history of not just tolerance but promotion of slavery.

The export of slaves to America was a burgeoning trade for the English as early as the 1500s. England also attempted to deal with "the Gypsy problem" by transporting them as slaves to North America and the Caribbean. In addition, transportation as indentured labour was one of, if not the main way of adding to the labour force in the colonies. Most of the early Irish arrived that way. Most of those early colonists who held slaves in America were English. Even the Crown had investments in the slave trade.

Your comment, in short, is a complete load of historically revisionist, wishful thinking bollocks.

And just to set you straight on the other count, it was the user who U8366 responded to who brought his wife's ethnicity into the conversation.

Not outright but they had no problem colonising and robbing the world blind of its wealth, knowledge and resources while basically enslaving native populations and putting them in concentration camps to provide free labour to help them empty the mines of all mineral wealth and farm the lands until barren.

Its the same in football. Players going to Saudi are greedy, dodgy Arabs, bad career moves etc etc

Messi going to MLS with all those sponsorship deals is being hailed a victory for white football.

This recent trend for people to be concerned with things that happened at a time when people had a life expectancy of 35, lived in rural villages, and ate gruel is a bit ridiculous given that a mere 40 years ago I could get easily get my head bashed in easily for having the wrong colour skin.

I have the scars from the terraces to prove it.

So you'll pardon me if I don't consider football fans as the shining beacon of hope for anti-racism just because they've knowledged up on colonisation.

20% of people in this Country live in poverty. Does it sit well with the English?

Do you equate only what Governments, Monarchs, and the Wealthy do in any given period of English history to define 'English', or do you think there's a bigger picture to what that actually is?

Oh sorry it must of course be historical revisionist bollox to consider that the Wealthy that continually enslave others through various means aren't representative of an entire nation.

Moving back to the point which is how dumb the BLM movement is demanding reparations for things that happened centuries ago and people then concerning themselves with things that happened centuries ago as a badge of honour for how knowledgeable they are.

Why are there no direct financial reparations from football being a platform for racism in the 80s which has done untold psychological damage to people who are still alive?

An apology and some people taking a knee is supposed to be sufficient for a sport in which people get paid millions which was partially funded by racist thugs?
