You make some valid points in your posts but lets address this notion of groupthink on race.

Black Lives Matter.

Whiteness.
White Lives Matter.
Its OK to be white.

First part good. Global organisations promoting the notion. Politicians going down on their knees. Statues pulled down whilst the police stand to one side. People encouraged to shop at 'black owned' business. All collective notions based on skin colour deemed by our leading cultural, buisness and policial elites to be be not only positive but ringfenced in terms of protection from criticism.

Next three parts? All bad. Things to be eradicated. Hate crimes to be even thought about, let alone promoted. A collective guilt and shame imposed because of events nobody in living memoroy played any part in, let alone profited from. 'Karens'. Told to read books. Or just leave. Get out of the way. Gammons openly derided. Don't even need to open their mouths. Just look at the way they look is more than enough justification.

Where is this group-think mentality coming from? Who is actively promoting it? Reinforcing it in our legal system through ideas such as 'hate crime' and so on? Conservatism by its very nature and its emphasis on meritocracy should be cosmopolitan. I truly get that. But we live in an age in which there is no true Conservativism being promoted.

You want us all to treat people as individuals then fine. A perfectly logical and rational position to take. But you cannot have 'group think' when it suits. We are either all categorised, and treated accordingly, by the pigment in our skin or we are not. The Left needs to make its mind up about that.

That’s fair enough but apparently 100% of white people are the same person. And a richly empowered racist person at that.
I think the whole idea of the “black community” is odd. Of course people have friends and families but the idea that West Indians and Africans have any more in common than Welshmen and Canadians is questionable.

That’s fair although the footage of them driving round the corner on the wrong side of the road, filming minutes before pulling over and the aggressive ‘For what? For what?’’ doesn’t need any more time to reserve judgement. I can see why they may have done it if it was because he’s fed up of being pulled over (in a blacked out car you don’t know who’s inside), but they went the wrong way about it. His aggression and her obstinacy should’ve been some compliance to trip them up. Instead lots of people see it for what it was intended to be, not what they hoped it would show. Then Dick apologises to them after saying the officers were cleared twice.

I've only seen the video at the point when the 2 people are asked to come out of the car and would like to know what happens with the inquiry that's going on.

My theory is that all the caring socially liberal types are SO addicted, and I use that in the classical sense of the word, to virtue signalling that they do not want to help these people improve their lives. They want them festering away in s***ty council estates, scared to venture out of their own post-code, either being or doing stabbing and shooting. They literally get an endorphin rush from being 'anti-racism' to such an extent that they seek to ensure that buzz never goes away.

Would rather have a black underclass that they can pretend to champion whilst offering nothing positive by way of helping them but merely using them as a way of shining a light on how damn caring and thoughtful they are.

Throw in the money involved as well given the cash wasted on both the police and the legal profession and you have a self-sustaining circle jerk of white middle class types who are f***ing over an entire generation of kids, most of whom would probably leap at a real chance to move up the social ladder. But what good would they be then to the kind of w***ers we see taking the knee?

That's only the half of it. What about the Race Relations Industry? Every major corporation now have diversity managers every university has a whole bunch of academics to study the field all at the taxpayers expense.

The Royal College of Arts has just withdrawn a job offer Head Of Diversity because the candidate is not black enough. Leaving aside the obvious question why do you need a Head Of Diversity* the poor sod got sacked by social media.

*Surely it is HR's job to ensure any employer sticks to the law that should be part of their role not a separate job.
