Just remember black lives matter.

All the premier league players are wearing BLM on the back of their shirts for the rest of the season.

BLOODY LOVE MONEY.

I'm at a loss Alf, I really am. We've had "Let's Kick Racism Out" plastered everywhere - the message is just not getting through. BLM and "taking a knee" should not be happening in the EPL, football, social commentary and politics on the field of play should not mix IMHO.

The thing is BT I don’t believe it is in retaliation ( to a murder in America) its come about because sadly like I alluded to before we have managed to give these people a platform and told them they’re right And that all the people in the world are racist , the result is society is so frightened that they’re agreeing to Take down statues and memorials that are part of history And apologise for things that happend hundreds of years ago.

The world had moved on but I feel as I said before all its achieved is a bigger divide between people in the Uk And more racism than ever.

Who are "these people" army88? The Child Bride was commenting this morning on violence in Victoria Square in Bolton yesterday, she said BLM were attacked by "English" people. This sh-it has obviously been the elephant in the room for centuries, what I find strange is our Asian brothers are remarkably quiet on the subject?

A dialogue is of course possible BT but has been made difficult (as many have pointed out) due to the continual ramping up of tensions on all sides.

In my way of thinking this B L M is all wrong,it is a mistake . This sentiment singles out one community of people. We are all part of the 'Human Society',why divide it?
By differentiating one colour (or race),from all other colours, of course racism will raise its head.
In fact ''All life matters!'' Here we must unite, with the sentiment ''all of the human society matters '' ( ALM not BLM )

For once I agree with you mate. I just wish you Israeli Jews would treat the Palestinian Arabs with the creed that all life matters! Here we must unite, with the sentiment ''all of the human society matters ''. Even the Arabs on the Gaza Strip.

BT You know we would but they would not unite with us !!!! They follow Iran ,and what that state dictates to them!!!

Iran in order to gain power in the Middle east ,uses it's proxy 'fighters' to fight their struggles ( The leaders of Hamas,those millionaires, that all together, maybe have more than your Queen )

Exactly Balan even in post 1 I said exactly that All lives matter.

It’s a sad time at the minute , many people getting caught up in something that is set up to divide a nation.

The solution is simple, stop calling black people black and white people white.

Example; A policeman in the US deliberately knelt on a man's neck during an arrest for a minor felony and the apprehended person died in the gutter from asphyxiation. Still shocking, but without the "racist" drama.

BT, I couldn't agree more, however, this is your Utopian world and sadly this is not the way of the real world. Why?
I don't know the answer, however, my theory is that there is always going to be one individual of whatever race, colour, religion, social standing etc. who will try to make political capital out of absolutely anything ---such is the way of the world.
History doesn't come into it because it is the here and now that matters and we live in very strange times, in fact, the instant communication should have helped in a lot of respects, however, it has exactly the opposite effect and enables these 'crusaders' to bring their troops together right across the world in order to engineer whatever they want.

'' stop calling black people black and white people white.'' That is not the solution BT ,

( A pity you do not look at the ''sprouts philosophy !)

It is to create a movement on the principle of 'Neo Humanism'. One is to rise above these sentiments and embrace humanity as one entity, to not only fulfil the needs of
human beings. To embrace, and also to recognize the existential value of all creatures as well as the existential and utility value of vegetation's and forests.

What is Neo-Humanism? When the underlying spirit of humanism is extended to everything, animate and inanimate, in this universe. This Neo-Humanism will elevate humanism to universalism, the cult of love for all created beings of this universe. Explaining humanity and humanism in a new light will give new inspiration and provide a new interpretation for the very concept of human existence.

The feelings and sentiments of the entire humanity are the same, and the preparation for a nobler life is the same for all. The requirements and necessities of all human beings are the same; so humanity is a singular entity; humanity is one and indivisible. For this purpose, we
should always maintain an equilibrium among different human beings for the development of all, irrespective of caste, creed, nationality and religion. There must not be
any shortage of food or water in this world. Nowhere in the world should people die of starvation. We are for all everything is for all.

Inside these 'A L M' sentiments there is a sense of pain ,a knowledge of an unjust society,a struggle against 'authority'. The sense of 'All Lives Matter '' has to be supported by a new movement ,to create social economic zones for local people were they are guaranteed the minimum physical requirements of life, all human beings to get scope for the full exploitation of their psychic potentiality, all human beings to get equal opportunity to attain the absolute truth, and endowed with all the glories and achievements of the world to march towards the Absolute." In and through this Neo-humanistic movement.
Today capitalists are exploiting local economies and draining their wealth. Much of the profits are spent outside the local area and remitted to outside stockholders and parent companies. Such dynamics simply cannot be allowed, where members of society will have to merge their socio-economic identity with that of the locality.
