There's been copy about on the subject...I'm no expert, & possibly shouldn't have referred to it...but

https://www.tampabay.com/news/nation-world/2020/07/22/politifact-is-black-lives-matter-a-marxist-movement/

Make your own mind up though....it's still a pointless gesture
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You should read that link... what it isn't saying is that BLM is a Marxist movement.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So you're saying that it is a marxist movement, but the link isn't saying it...(pedantry)

What it does say though is that the two that started the movement are trained Marxists...not that I care a jot frankly...i'm still saying the kneel is a pointless gesture.
Not sure any other sport see's the need to do it, - that i've seen

You never heard of Colin Kaepernick?

I agree with the op, if the vast public abided by the rules we wouldn’t be in this mess. I also think there should be a lot more finger pointing at China as they unleashed this hell on us all, hopefully that will come in time but I’m not holding my breath

Yep, but who hasn't been educated yet?

It's been going on for months.

I see no point at which opportunities to learn and teach are ever exhausted.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

But your son has learned the lesson you describe, no?

There is no need for taking a stance against racism in football. There is not and never has been, any racism in football so what are they doing?

Clapping it's a bit like wetting yourself in a dark suit,a warm sensation but nobody notices.

If you wear a kilt then you can shiiite yourself whilst walking and it just gets lost in the mud.

People from our street will be out clapping, banging pots and blasting their air horns I'm sure.

They'll then spend the rest of their week thinking about how they voted Conservative and thinking of ways of getting away with breaking the regs. Not once did I go out and clap last year. I'd much rather stick to the rules.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Did they clap for Boris while he was faking Covid?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
No but they said that he shouldn't bu judged too harshly and that 'he was trying his best'...

Can’t wait til they wheel Captain Tom out on his Zimmer frame to rouse national pride and divert attention from the governments 5hite show of a performance.

I’ve a mate in Thailand I speak to regularly, us and the yanks are global laughing stocks for the way we’ve dealt with the pandemic. Said some people get apprehensive of a Brit and he has to reassure them he’s been out there the whole time. They are doing their best though and Corbyn would of been worse.........:::

What sickens me the most is these people clapping for the NHS vote for the party that's been underfunding it for a decade.

If they really wanted to show their appreciation they should have done it at the polling station.

Indeed.

And you can be sure as sheite that when this is over, any appreciation for the NHS, teachers etc. will go back in the draw to be forgotten about.

We've got Tom funding the NHS, Rashford feeding the kids, but who is going to step up and get the potholes fixed on my road?

Completely agree.

Never understood why the man who was understood to be willing to sell the NHS off is now suddenly at the forefront of keeping it alive and controlled. And we were responsible for voting him in.

What a strange article. People clapping may also be doing the things you list such as donating to charities. Seems a decent enough gesture.

Only thing I’d agree with is it would be hypocritical to do the clapping then go out and break the rules. Even if lockdowns have been proven to not work,
