If it encourages one 12 year old to question whether or not he should carry on the mantle of racism handed down to him by his ignorant small minded father, then it has value.

That's why they have allowed other racial groups to have more control and wealth within their societies than exists in any other society: African or Asian. Obviously with power comes self interest....that's what I see happening. Indoctrinated whites who romanticise the 'other' create double standards towards them. Of course other groups are going to agree with you when you express self hatred and tell them they should have more power and control.....Yet this isn't done within their own societies. Indeed, the Chinese laugh at this and have a name for a western white who expresses self destructive self hatred.....Baizuo. When I grew up we believed in meritocracy and a colour blind attitude. I can see now that this was a tactic, as with demographic change the whites who don't accept self hatred messaging and claims of invented 'racism' are demonised. Apart from non white activist groups most of this demonisation it comes from indoctrinated whites themselves like you Mainey, if indeed, you actually are. Stay on your knees, it suits you mate.

So you disagree with the above premise about one child being swayed away from racism, stirley? If you feel that way, I do feel sorry for you. My point is not about demonization, it’s about education. If players kneeling can help to pick off racists, one by one, until they are intelligent enough to understand their ignorance, I am all for it.

I don't agree with abusing people for no real reason no. However, I do think, your ideas on 'racism' are indoctrinated and out of proportion. You can feel sorry for me Mainey....I kind of like the idea. You can start a 'go fund me' if you like.

You say that players are free to make a statement if they wish to but they are not. They are ONLY allowed to take a knee for racism. What if they want to take a knee over climate control or any other issue?

If we could just convince one person to stop carrying and using knives in the street then maybe it might save a life. But that’s not considered as important obviously.

Usually gets the cops surrounded by a dozen black people, sometimes from different classes or socioeconomic groups, as a 6 inch blade comes out of his pocket.

This anti racism stuff is a self serving fantasy which has nothing to do with the real world. Stirling is 100% correct. White people are basically being conditioned to accept their own replacement.

Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (21 Dec 2020 10.31am) I have no affiliation with BLM the organisation, as I've said many times, so I wouldn't know what they want. I'm sure they have a manifesto on their site if you want to have a look, cheers.

I think this can just be summarised as Stirling and Hrolf believing in the great replacement theory and calling anyone that doesn’t ‘brainwashed’.

Evasive answer. What do those that hide under the blanket of BLM but claim not to be associated with it want? What do they specifically want? Surely this is a simple question. People making public demonstrations and taking up hours of media time must know exactly what they are campaigning for. What exactly is it?
