."but there has to be a level of fair consistency for all races,"
Yes, that is what BLM is all about, being treated equally, because currently black lives are not.
saying white lives matter or all lives matter is the equivalent of Man city or Liverpool saying they don't get refereeing decisions going their way when playing smaller clubs. | |

Now they’ve nailed their colours to the mast of they can’t back down. Funny how they’ll stick to their guns and rather be called racist than admit to being thick as f*ck. Either way they’re thick as f*ck, and racist to boot. | |

So why the systemic racism? It’s clear that some people’s lives matter less to some people. Hence racism and other bigotry. I wish believers of the all lives matter crew would just call a spade a spade: racism exists. Responding to it by screaming “all lives matter” is like spending a friend’s birthday party screaming about how you have a birthday too. Pure absence of empathy, sense and thought.
People are suffering and they need action to help them. My life matters. But I can listen to other people’s pain without screaming about myself for ten minutes.
Black lives matter. Not more than the lives of other racists. Don’t be dumb. It’s that they matter too and those who commit racism against black people are committing an outrage against all of us. | |

Because the two colours aren't being treated equally.
All Lives Matter - everyone of us can agree upon that. But it isn't Black police officers who are murdering Whites.
If the slogan had been "Black Lives Matter … just as much as Whites … so stop killing us" would you be on board with that?
Some rich people in a plane trying to play the "hey guys, we're victims as well, so give us a break" card, really gets my hackles up. [Post edited 23 Jun 2020 3:01]

It should be preserved as much as possible unless it incites racial/homophobic hatred Eg. People do, though, confuse freedom of speech with ‘ I can say anything I want’ as per Katie Hopkins. She was deservedly banned due to her racist and deliberately provocative views by a company on whose platform, she breached their terms and conditions.
Just because you find something offensive, as I do these tits, doesn’t mean it should be made illegal or banned. One of the reasons the word ‘harassment’ was removed from the public order act.
Think it was Stephen Fry who said ‘you find that offensive ? So what ?’
I very much doubt the banner was truly and passionately meant to convey ‘white lives matters’, they’ve got a right to condemn it and likewise, the club has a right to criticise them.
As much as I dislike the banner, should they be banned ? No [Post edited 23 Jun 2020 6:35]

I am sure Lisa will be along in a minute to tell you ...
It’s just not true (although that does not really make sense if it actually is true)
I think I can speak for her in saying...
It’s a movement and it does not matter what the founders strong intentions were, nor the clear ideological framework they may have set out for the organisation, or even if they believe that ideological framework still exists. Nor even if it has websites reiterating those intentions and collects massive amounts of money in this country to carry out those intentions.
It is still simply a movement, apparently? | | | |

Let me follow that logic
If you cannot have All Lives Matter - because all lives don’t seem to matter to some
Then surely you cannot have Black Lives Matter for a similar reason | | | |
| The plane over the Etihad on 08:35 - Jun 23 with 1826 views | chad |
I think you got that last but wrong
Saying All Lives Matter would be the equivalent of saying all refereeing decisions should be fair. | | | |
| The plane over the Etihad on 08:48 - Jun 23 with 1813 views | magicdaps10 |
But what if those decisions should have rightly gone their way?
What if those decisions went the way of the smaller club unfairly..... Surely those decisions have to be correct and not in favour to the bigger or in that matter the smaller club if they are wrong.
Sorry..... I couldn't resist 😂😉 | |

Very correct and well put.
The only issue we are facing now tho are the self entitled arsewipes who are hijacking these events because they THINK they are helping by smashing up property and bullying their opinion on others who in turn fear the consequences of not supporting them, so they do even if they don't.. | |

Shouldn’t this thread be on the hate page? | | | |

Once we have equality, then All Lives Matter is appropriate.
Until then Black Lives Matter.
Thats the focus to get us to where we all should want to be.
I thought the Burnley captain spoke superbly.
He is a credit to his profession, to his club, and to himself.
We can do this. | |

How do you make black lives matter anymore than they do exactly? By defunding the police, stopping black people being searched? Giving them jobs over white people because there aren’t the right amount of blacks people in a job regardless of their skills?
Did you not see 3 white people butchered to death by an African the weekend? | |

By tackling racism, not supporting it. | | | |

What does the weekend's terrible events have to do with BLM? | | | |
| The plane over the Etihad on 11:01 - Jun 23 with 1642 views | hobo |
Nothing. But as it was a racial murder of THREE white people by a member of the 'BAME' community, it has everything to do with WLM. | | | |

No, you can’t speak for me.
Largely because you don’t, can’t or refuse to understand the point that was being made over BLM and therefore you are incapable of drawing a relevant parallel. | | | |
