    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.

    All Lives Matter.

    But at the moment, some lives matter more than others.

    Think that through 59er? You are buying into the hype.

    There is rampant inequality across the globe, everywhere you look a whole collective are being persecuted and discriminated against.

    Gaza, Iraq, China, South America, North America, indigenous Australians and New Zealanders, the list is endless.

    Have we become "black centric?" Singling out one problem is not helping, we need to remember we are all GLOBAL CITIZENS and belong to one "race" and that is the HUMAN RACE.

    Looking around the various global media news outlets, it seems to me we all have our work cut out to get to grips with all that is wrong on Planet Earth.

    Morning Army!

    The facts are that black people earn 10% less than whites.
    They have to try much harder, and send in more applications, to get jobs than whites.
    Very few in the "top jobs" in companies.
    They are 48 times more likely to be stop and searched than white people.
    I could give you more examples, but you get my drift.

    But I agree to some extent with BT.

    Women are similarly paid less than men, find it harder to break through the glass ceiling than men.

    There is a genuine north/south divide in England. It has been going on for so long that we unthinkingly accept it here up North.

    If it were a truly equal society then these things couldn't happen.

    If you are a white man from the south east then you are highly favoured.

    Boris promised to "level up" on these issues and admits that we have a problem with racism in our country, so that's a good start.

    But actions speak louder than words - let's see.

    I really don’t believe a lot of that 59 , there will be a reason black males get stopped more than whites if that’s true at all , I m betting if I dig a bit I can find statistics to the opposite of your post.

    What I find amazing is that you and BT seem to think that it’s acceptable for firstly the BLM to protest , secondly to incite racism and commit violent acts whilst defacing our countries memorials , I’ve said before and I say again you and many more have given these people (I use people loosely) a platform to create chaos.

    When all you can mentions is job applications and wage gaps.

    These people stab and kill each other every week and you and BT never bat an eye to deaths murders drugs and every other gang related mischief you can think off , until this political group get involved that is.

    Now your shaking your fists when the masses have created yet more racism.

    I would love you to find one single post in my entire history on Clarets Mad where I have incited racism or encouraged the desecration of our war memorials and national Cenotaph. Look, but you will not find.
