Title: Black lives...
Post by: BillyStubbsTears on November 24, 2021, 02:42:54 pm
If anyone is still upset about black people campaigning for their lives to matter, here's two stories from both sides of the Atlantic today on how black people have been treated.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-59396598

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-59385477

For the most part, this doesn't happen to white people. reflect on it.

Point being, the Home Office doesn't seem to think that the lives of AfroCarribbean British people who were illegally deported, denied the right to work or had their lives turned upside down matter enough to prioritise sorting out the pile of shit that they threw over them.

I assume you've never woken up to an e-mail telling you that you need to prove that you have the right to remain in the UK, otherwise you're going to be forcibly deported to Austria?

Which is why the way that society treats black people needs to be particularly highlighted.

Instead of wording it in a confrontational manner he could have just posted the content for us to read.

''Innocence''

''The death penalty carries the inherent risk of executing an innocent person. Since 1973, at least 186 people who had been wrongly convicted and sentenced to death in the U.S. have been exonerated''

And disabled people? Society treats them like shit too but i don't see much written about it.

Like the autistic man who has been kept in a secure unit for 21 years despite a psychiatrist having signed him off to be released for independent living in 2013. There is no provision for him so he stays locked up despite having done nothing wrong. Does his life matter?

 All lives matter and all minorities in society have it tough and we should be highlighting them all. Not just one section.

Hi Tommy, yes I can understand that, it has been a long battle for native communities to get recognition, acceptance and their rights. It is a very long story from the massacres and evictions suffered at the hands of settlers to land rights gained in relatively recent times. As a marginalised group, spread across Australia they suffered from a history written for them by the white population. This is slowly changing but there is still a long way to go. They are vilified because many do not conform to 'European standards' and do not live nor wish to live the same way. They have a whole different set of values concerning the land and their relationships. Fortunately changes are being made there are many well educated and trained and they are slowly taking control of their own lives and futures. I am not at the front line by any means in this fight but all the groups I am involved with fully recognise and respect that this (Australia) is Aboriginal land always was and always will be, we support them as those in our group support us.

No, that 'we' is you pretending to speak for the whole forum (including me, why is why I responded) as if everybody else has the same puerile viewpoint as yourself. if it wasn't, no doubt you've have said so at the time that you said it. As it is, you're just squirming now you've been challenged on it - even now you don't have any conviction in what you're saying because you straightaway are only 'supposing'!

You do get to choose how you respond to them, though. Although you can’t seem to make your mind up what to do.

I’m not sure what you mean by ‘said so at the time’. Do you mean I never responded straight away? If you did, then my response to that is I don’t have time for my fingers to stay hovering over the keyboard as I anticipate responding to your latest bit of nonsense as soon as you send it.

And I used the word ‘suppose’ because I was surprised you needed to ask me. But thanks for the lesson on semantics. I’ve taken it all on board, and completely dismissed it.

Well said Colin.  There is definitely limited selectiveness about who is thought to be worthy of feeling marginalised

The aboriginal people and the native Americans have all been harshly treated

It’s not only one group it’s all groups like you say. Who’s fighting for the rights of Afghan women or the Palestinians, or many other endless groups which in my opinion is far far worse than some of the nonsense being claimed by some recent headline grabbers

Sydney why are you getting arsey. AGAIN

I’m agreeing with you about how people are being genuinely mistreated and abused AT THIS VERY MOMENT all over the world. Being disenfranchised a lot worse than a lot of stuff thats in the media every day

People have the right to free expression and speech so long as it’s not racist or hateful

If people want to boo that’s their choice and their right

This is my point about selectiveness. People have been ejected from grounds and banned for booing etc

Why are their rights not allowed to be heard

I personally wouldn’t boo but people have the right to free choice
