Coventry v QPR....both teams did not take the knee.

So all black people are as wealthy as Oprah Winfrey. What a stupid analogy to make.

Maybe you need to improve your reading skills Roly because that's not what he said.

It wasn't an analogy or what I said.

There are rich black people, and middle class, and poor.

And none of them need you to speak for them.

[rolymiller]

Oprah Winfrey is worth $2.5 billion.

Why do you seem to think black people are all poor?

And that they need your help?

You know as well as I do what gfire is inferring camiller but I will answer his point literally just for you.

No not all blacks are poor. Not all blacks need my help...but generally blacks are poor compared to whites. And yes many whites are in poverty.

I don't care what colour people are . All i would argue is that people in poverty should be given a fairer crack of the whip than what they are.

1.it doesn't hence the need for global action.There isn't one.
2. It is better than the places they have come from but not as good a it should be. Damage limitation. would you want to live in Afghanistan or somewhere like that?

There are levels of inequality.

Why is there no socialist utopia? Because powerful capitalists ensure there aint one because it would be no good for them. There are many ways they do this but one of the ways they do this is by divide and rule. This is quite evident on here. eg Scapegoating the poor/ blacks etc so the ordinary folks dont blame the rich and powerful but blacks and "benefit scroungers" etc in other words poor people. Why would they rise up against the rich and powerful when it is the poor to blame for their crap circumstances.

God, you come up with some crap........ I didn't ask to be born white English, neither did i ask to be born an Afghan......you are what you are.
So how do we make this equal place which doesn't exist anywhere???

You should write Fairy Stories and get rich..................

Taxing the rich/ sharing resources for a start. Valuing those who are useful to running a fair society rather than those who are not. In short looking after everybody not just number one as capitalism does.

Are you saying that its tough luck if you are born to a sh it life and good luck if you are born to a privileged life? If you can sleep at night with that good luck to you. Seems a bit selfish to me. Have you ever heard the term" having a conscience?

How does the saying go..5% of people possess 95% of the wealth, if they shared it out evenly, within a few years you would end up with, wait for it .... the 5% back possessing 95% of it.
Not saying it’s right, just that’s the way it is, has always been and pretty much will always be.
