Quote from: BillyStubbsTears on August 12, 2020, 03:06:32 pmApologies AL, I missed the word "pushing" while skim reading. Fair to say that you were displaying unusual behaviour which perhaps warranted police attention? Again, the point being that blacks are more frequently pulled over when there is no genuine evidence of suspicious behaviour.No problem. I just think the demographic of some cities makes it more likely that certain groups will be pulled up. If this was happening in somewhere like Donny then I would agree it would be strange but certain areas of London have a vastly different racial mix to say here or Hereford or Exeter for example.I understand that most black people are like us and just want to get on with their lives, so it really is a shame that the activities of some of their community cause this to happen. Not all Police are bad, not all black people are up to no good. But we can not have a situation where the Police are afraid to pull some one over for a word for fear of being involved in a race row.

Black people ARE part of “us”..I assume you didn’t mean to but your post implies it’s a case of “us” and “them”..As for police stopping more suspects in cities, that’s fair enough, but it’s the reasons that the people are suspected which is the problem.
And there in lies much of the problem. People say and do things with no malice aforethought and with no intent to offend, yet such things can be taken the wrong way. When we say things like that we don’t realise how it affects those who we refer to.
Especially when it's lily livered loony lefties deciding what's offensive.

My ex-wife used to take a knee to me.Right in the b*llocks.
As opposed to the right-wing facists/DFLA marching through Nottingham in para-military uniform and carring Nazi themed flags you mean?[/quot Don't even try to turn my words back on me you prick, no one should be spreading hate and fear under any flag or cause. All men are equal.
Quote from: Bentley Bullet on August 22, 2020, 12:13:01 pmEspecially when it's lily livered loony lefties deciding what's offensive.So you think it is ok to think of different racial groups as “us”’ them.? That it isn’t offensive to be considered “them” and not us.?So having principles makes me a lily livered lefty does it.?To quote Game of Thrones, you know nothing BB.

And where is there a quote in Game of Thrones that says I know nothing?

All men are equal. You wrote them - would you like me to call you something offensive as well if that's your level.You decided to comment on black people in para-military uniform whislt ignoring that the far-right had marched in para-military uniform through Nottingham on Saturday. That's not my problem for pointing it out.

And where is there a quote in Game of Thrones that says I know nothing?I’ve never said that not taking a knee makes someone a racist.Making a specific anti-statement about not taking a knee such as “I would only kneel for the Queen”, I do find disturbing.Doesn’t make me a lily livered lefty still.
So I see the Right are getting all foamy mouthed about the wokey idea not to sing the lyrics of Land of Hope and Glory at the Proms.https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.telegraph.co.uk/women/life/dear-bbc-dont-want-live-land-woke-sorry/amp/It's a sign of the times that The Left would be such killjoys isn't it? Wouldn't have even discussed such things years ago would we?Except ...err...https://mobile.twitter.com/Otto_English/status/1299684419918344193Amazing isn't it how people like Philips, (when she takes time off from being a COVID-denier) who scream loudest about how disgraceful it is for the Left to deny us our history, turn out to know the square root of nowt about our history.
