Drivel.
There is no value in BLM whatever. It is a self serving and counterproductive concept which promote hypocrisy and division and is perpetuated by the threat of ruin to anyone who speaks out against it.

You know this full well and yet you defend it and play stupid.

I am afraid you confuse different views to your own with stupidity.

Whereas in fact the opposite applies. But of course you wouldn’t see that.

Black Power? Sounds like a political statement.

The IOC took that view in 1968

Don't waste my time with your old twaddle.

You support a divisive and racist organisation which is only about promoting Black interests.
Because many are too afraid to reject it does not mean that it has the moral high ground. What it has is the weight of human greed and human stupidity behind it.

Did you read my quite short post? You post a link to an organisation called Black Lives Matter Global Foundation inc.

I despair

Dunno, I’ll take your advice. I am sure you have researched the history of the symbolism and its connections.

No particular research but I have read books by Eldridge Cleaver, Stokely Carmichael, Malcom X and a couple of others. Try them and draw your own conclusions.

And my advice is to get a library of your own.

Anyone who has any sympathy with the decision not to support an organisation which is anarchic, anti semitic and marxist is clearly a racist gammon etc etc..........or just a person who doesn't support racist , anarchic anti semites. However, the PL is now modifying the language commentators have to use to " racism in all it's forms " after it was pointed out to them that BLM UK is an racist,anarchic, anti semitic organisation. The legacy problem is that " taking the knee " is solely associated with BLM and a different action is required to show support against " racism in all it's forms ".

Sky Sports didn't get the memo and persist with the BLM signs.

Booing is not the optimal way to get the message across.

 


Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

Clearly not an organisation.......oh, hang on

You not lack any capacity to understand but you don't seem to know what a philosophy is, doesn't seem to be a fundraising website for stoicism as an example

I lack no capacity to understand. Nor does every player in every football club in the country. Perhaps it is you that is missing something

And just to repeat, again. BLM is NOT an organisation. It is a philosophy. Some organisations have sprung up using the words, they do not all necessarily represent the views of those that believe in the philosophy.
