Love how these movements think you can teach people not to be racist when in fact they are just creating a wider divide than we have seen in decades.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If being against racism is creating a divide then there is a right and wrong side to be on in that divide.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether you like it or not a lot of what folks call 'racism' is generational. My mother would be classed a racist, she is 80 plus and has probably never even spoken to a black person in her life. But just like now with the Eastern Europeans everyone complains about she saw and heard about the first wave of immigrants going to the UK way back when.
On top of that these movements, rightly or wrongly are associated with rioting and destruction and it is no surprise many turn their back on these groups when that is what they see. I didn't hear a single voice defending the police after the first killing that triggered all of this but yet we still had to see neighbourhood after neighbourhood set ablaze and it is no surprise people then condemn these movements. Nothing to do with being racist at all.
The most ironic thing of all though is that black lives matter is an extremely isolating movement that does the cause no good whatsoever.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Why would you mother be classed as 'racist' due to her age, she either is or isn't?
People associate BLM with rioting because it's what they choose to see or a being fed by the news, constantly, they ignore EVERYTHING else, like unarmed black people being straight up murdered on camera by police officers.
And the last comment sums up a lot of people...because people are saying Black Lives matter, not more than anyone, just EQUAL to everyone else, because we have been systematically treated like chit for hundreds of years from governments, police, employment, education etc and you say it's extremely isolating
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Yeah the hispanic communities here in the states don't get any systematic abuse by police at all, only black folks. But it makes sense to isolate to gain more support eh? The whole BLM movement is an I'll thought out idea and it will never make any head way into racism.
And if you don't think a part of racism is generational then you are not even worth debating with.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Who's talking about Hispanic's? and who said they don't face systematic racism, i'm not hispanic, so i can't speak for them.
You see it as isolation, i see it as speaking up against racism.
How can YOU tell me what racism is, when it sounds like you live in a bubble where u think racism doesn't exsist, when it clearly does, and say it's just generalisation, wtf!
----------------------------------------------------------------------
And thank you for so perfectly making my point for me. Who is talking about hispanics
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, we were clearly talking about one particular race, then you decided to bring another race into it, for which I have no real knowledge of, because I'm not Hispanic,
therefore won't speak about, and u can't comprehend that....sort it out

Fact is are country is 90 per cent white and 3 per cent black but the BGT panel is only 60 per cent white and 20 per cent black so this is reverse discrimination. I complained because they are telling us what to do in are country we whites our the real vicrtims. If they wanted true equality they would have a panel of 3 white judges and a meditternaean person who is 1/8th black then we would be true equal.

More like a lack of knowledge.
America's history is absolutely riddled with race protests. Until a few decades ago it was white people protesting in thousands and thousands of numbers. If a black family moved into a white neighbourhood, this would often lead to mass violent protests, they'd get evicted and their stuff thrown out in the street if lucky. If not they'd suffer arson attacks or someone would get lynched while the police provide security for this to happen.
Perceived black criminals would be pulled out of police cells by humongous crowds and killed by mobs one by one, the next victim was made to watch as his mate was flipped like a pancake by a crowd of irate, mostly drunk white men.
You say racism ia generational, well, maybe protests and rioting is also generational, no? Maybe that's how you persue your race rights in the USA. Modern protests are far more peaceful in comparison anyway and this reflects the more advanced generation.
Love how these movements think you can teach people not to be racist when in fact they are just creating a wider divide than we have seen in decades.

Depends on perception or knowedge of history. How much of a divide do you think has existed in the past few decades? It's subjective. You could argue it's been huge or that its been tiny and be successful either way depending on what period you compare it to.
I guess it depends on the point one is trying to make. Historically, similar movements have done a lot to teach people not to be racist, contrary to what you might believe. They've experienced great success and even helped to defeat terrorist ideologies, factions and supremacists. Personally I don't see why this one will be different.

I'm not arguing the generational bs.
I'm an old can't so can't agree with that.
FFS Bernie is nearly 80 and signed up black voters in the 60s.
There are a good amount if lads in their 20s on this board who if they are not racist are just not interested in anyone else's viewpoint as they are not affected by it but may feel some kind of guilt and lash out.
Think I lost my train of thought there.

Perceived black criminals would be pulled out of police cells by humongous crowds and killed by mobs one by one, the next victim was made to watch as his mate was flipped like a pancake by a crowd of irate, mostly drunk white men.
You say racism ia generational, well, maybe protests and rioting is also generational, no? Maybe that's how you persue your race rights in the USA. Modern protests are far more peaceful in comparison anyway and this reflects the more advanced generation.

Love how these movements think you can teach people not to be racist when in fact they are just creating a wider divide than we have seen in decades.

Depends on perception or knowedge of history. How much of a divide do you think has existed in the past few decades? It's subjective. You could argue it's been huge or that its been tiny and be successful either way depending on what period you compare it to.
I guess it depends on the point one is trying to make. Historically, similar movements have done a lot to teach people not to be racist, contrary to what you might believe. They've experienced great success and even helped to defeat terrorist ideologies, factions and supremacists. Personally I don't see why this one will be different.

If being against racism is creating a divide then there is a right and wrong side to be on in that divide.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Whether you like it or not a lot of what folks call 'racism' is generational. My mother would be classed a racist, she is 80 plus and has probably never even spoken to a black person in her life. But just like now with the Eastern Europeans everyone complains about she saw and heard about the first wave of immigrants going to the UK way back when.
On top of that these movements, rightly or wrongly are associated with rioting and destruction and it is no surprise many turn their back on these groups when that is what they see. I didn't hear a single voice defending the police after the first killing that triggered all of this but yet we still had to see neighbourhood after neighbourhood set ablaze and it is no surprise people then condemn these movements. Nothing to do with being racist at all.
The most ironic thing of all though is that black lives matter is an extremely isolating movement that does the cause no good whatsoever.

Opinion or FACT.

More like a lack of knowledge.
America's history is absolutely riddled with race protests. Until a few decades ago it was white people protesting in thousands and thousands of numbers. If a black family moved into a white neighbourhood, this would often lead to mass violent protests, they'd get evicted and their stuff thrown out in the street if lucky. If not they'd suffer arson attacks or someone would get lynched while the police provide security for this to happen.

I'm not arguing the generational bs.
I'm an old can't so can't agree with that.
FFS Bernie is nearly 80 and signed up black voters in the 60s.
There are a good amount if lads in their 20s on this board who if they are not racist are just not interested in anyone else's viewpoint as they are not affected by it but may feel some kind of guilt and lash out.
Think I lost my train of thought there.

Had no idea you was a senior. Most seniors I've met online are not like you. You're funny and normal. Are you sure you're not some 35 year old caaant posting from his man-cave after being forced to wear PowerPuff girls pyjamas by your missus?
