This Blm Explosion.

[SparklyKid]

For many decades I have greatly admired many people from all walks of life without being concerned by a different skin colour.

Nat King Cole, Shirley Bassey,Stevie Wonder. Trevor McDonald,Morgan Freeman, Sammy Daviis jnr. Will Smith, Denzel Washington . Hundreds more bur you get the gist.

Unfortunately, and I am quite ashamed to say it, but thanks to that Dixon woman on BGT I have a different , no a new outlook when I see a person of a different colour.

My first thought is, I wonder what the chip on their shoulder is ?

It occurs to be that this growing sinister BLM movement will do far more damage than any good it may have done.

Anyone else feel the same ?

Nothing will create racial barriers or division, except for those looking for an excuse

Got it in one pixie, that sounds exactly like the BLM agenda.

Crazy statement, pixie.

Lol. But not really something to joke about...

//Do you see a white American police officer and think he's a racist?//

No, I don't. I judge individuals by their actions, not groups.

Typical exchange on twitter.


Janet 'Black lives matter'

Irene ''Yes they do''

Janet 'Well said, glad we agree xx'

Irene ''All lives matter''

Janet 'Racist'

It was generic, Mozz and not aimed at you but saying white police officers in America are inherently racist is an acceptable position to take within certain groups.

[pixie374]

Yes, roy... I definitely wouldn't use Twitter as my moral guidance lol.

//It was generic, Mozz and not aimed at you but saying white police officers in America are inherently racist is an acceptable position to take within certain groups.//

Fair do Roy, but it just goes to show that those groups, including BLM, are wrong in that opinion, just as I think Sparkly is in his.

There are good and bad in every group, be it political, racial or national, to tar all with same brush is prejudiced in the extreme.

[royfromaus]

Who does?

Surely an opinion can never be wrong it is simply a thought based on what is going on in the world.

An interesting discussion but I am slightly concerned that some seem to have a tacit approval of the motives of BLM.

[Mozz71]

Sparkly, an opinion can be morally wrong. Morally ambiguous at least.

To be honest "opinion" was the wrong word, as you can't be held responsible for what pops into your head when you see someone (referring to the OP). Maybe you're right, that the efforts of BLM are doing as much harm to black causes as they are good. Humans are a weird breed.

[SparklyKid]

My OP was worded in an attempt to initiate a discussion.

I probably went a little over the top. I just worry that this BLM movement will do a great deal of damage.

It's like most things. There will be always morons who hijack a cause and use it for their thuggish behaviour.

Quite right, and that is what concerns me.

[pixie374]

Sparkly, if you had said you were concerned about morons and thuggish behaviour, I would have entirely agreed with you.

[ummmm]

There were plenty of white people on the BLM marches.
