I worked with a west Indian guy and his thick accent was so very obviously genuine. After a while and actually asking what he just said a few times I got to understand all of what he was saying. He was never offended by me asking BTW and appreciated me not being a nodding dog. My point is its so easy to spot a genuine accent from a fake one done for image. These kids need to be themselves as the future will chew them up and spit them out.

Capitalism sorry Marxism, don't you just love it !!

Pro USA & Israel

Two incidents doing the rounds today. A young black man shot in a traffic stop and a black army officer pepper sprayed at a traffic stop. Perhaps only black people should police black people? That wouldn't be divisive. Or perhaps black people shouldn't be policed in the US? Biden can come up with that one.
Riots every incident now, justified or not.

Red and Blue Army!

I am utterly perplexed at how ethnic types can call themselves 'People of Colour' and then take offence at term 'Coloured'. Surely one follows on from the other? Be genuinely interested to read why I am wrong on this.

I've coloured the black bits in my colouring book. Next I think I'll colour the yellow before I do the red.

Tell you what, this colouring malarkey is tricky to get right.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Nice

Be interesting to see what happens in the US over the next month or so. BLM seem to making a LOT of noise again, with protests closing bridges in New York and numbers on the street in Washington. Throw in what is happening in Minneapolis and you have the potential for the start of a new riot season.

Last year, the Democrats who control all the main riot zones, effectively let them happen by way of trying to harm Trump but with him now out of the way, their reaction will be interesting, to say the least.

They let the BLM genie out of the bottle last year to suit their political interests. Have they got the will, or even the ability, to put it back again?

I get that, and in some cases don't actually have an issue with it. For example the term 'Gammon'. Love it to bits. Fits perfectly. Proud to own it.

But there is zero logic to this 'coloured' as offensive in context of 'people of colour'. One follows on from the other.

In America the NAACP has kept its name.
NAAAA obviously doesn’t appeal.

LOL. The corruption angle has been on the cards from the get-go and is part of a glorious line of such events.

The issue here is does anything actually happen about it? I suspect that if we see a spring/summer of rioting then the Democrat administration will crack down hard on BLM and this angle will be used by way of FBI arrests and so on.

The US has some pretty draconian laws in terms of fraud and so on and has form for using them by way of taking down those who become a nuisance.
