Ironic thing is BLM has gone bankrupt after blowing 80m. Remember a time when people were outright called racist for not supporting the BLM movement and now it's clear to all it was a total fraud of an organisation.

The money trail is actually embarrassing and I've no idea how they were allowed to blow so much with so little accountability.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
After all these years you still can't comprehend the difference between BLM the movement and BLM the organisation.

Genius.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

The organisation benefits directly from the movement no? So what is the point you are making?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
You are wasting your time mate. First they denied they spent 80m on mansions in white suburbs and not helped any black people, then they called me racist, despite being married to a black women 😂

Not the smartest lot.....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
There are many millions of people around the world, including I would warrant many on here, who supported the BLM movement without supporting the Black Lives Matter organisation *in any way whatsoever*.

I really don’t think this is difficult to understand.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So a load of mainly white middle class people changed their social media photos but didn't actually donate any money 😂 sounds about right....
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I donated money, but not to the Black Lives Matter organisation

Many, many people of all kinds of backgrounds donated money, and chose to make changes to their shopping habits (on a permanent basis in many cases), for example, without giving a penny to the BLM organisation.

Many people learned a lot of things about modern black lives, about structural racism and inequality, about intersectionality and multiple discrimination, about legacy debt, about reparations, about colonialism, about the whitewashing of history, and many other matters.

It opened up discussions about - and in a lot of cases actually changed - what kids are taught in schools, what information is shown in museums, and what kind of historical characters we want to celebrate.

“I know countless black people that think BLM, org or movement, is beyond stupid.”

I don’t know quite how to put this nicely, but I simply don’t believe you. At all.

So being married to a black woman means you can't be racist?

Stop jumping around the place and publicly displaying how Stoopid you are.

Unfortunately, the tragedy has been confirmed.

RIP the deceased.

Perhaps now that attention has turned towards maritime tragedies, it would be good to talk more about all of the other tragedies at sea that are so commonplace that they barely merit our attention.

Foremost right now is the investigation surrounding the boat that capsized last week off the coast of Greece. Eighty-two confirmed dead, up to 500 still missing, and big questions around the exact circumstances leading up to the tragedy.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2023_Messenia_migrant_boat_disaster

These crossings are commonplace in the Mediterranean.

Another migration route that is not covered all that frequently is the one linking the African coasts all the way down to Senegal and the Cape Verde Islands, with the Canary Islands.

Two days ago, while the Titan drama unfolded, another migrant boat thought to be carrying 59 people floundered south of the Canary Islands. Only 24 people have been rescued. The scarce coverage it received was dwarfed by that of the rescue operations off Newfoundland.

Not all the news has been bad, though. A further 169 people aboard three other boats were also rescued off the Canaries in the following hours, and a fourth boat with 121 on board was escorted to safety to the island of El Hierro.

The top *15* sequential clickable links on the BBC World News homepage are to unique articles dissecting every imaginable facet of the story (and the stories behind the story), and setting up the post mortem to come, which no doubt we’ll be hearing about, with the various eulogies and related ‘human interest’ stories for weeks to come.

The seventeenth (solitary) link is to an article headlined ‘Hundreds of migrants rescued off Canary Islands’.

This is what happens when the BBC leadership decides that it should be competing with commercial news media rather than serving the public.

It's also indicative of what kind of stuff interests most of us though.

I tend to steer clear of human tragedy stories in general, though. I don't feel like I'm desensitised to the underlying problems, but I do find it hard to delve in and read up on all the morbid details.

BLM movement hasnt done a single thing. The organisation hasn't either but it did raise some money, then blow it on rubbish.
People have championed black equality since the English pushed for slavery to be abolished, long before BLM was even a term.

BLM doesn't supercede what happened before it just because it has a fancy name. They drew attention to black deaths. Most black people would rather continue to draw attention to black life's.

I know countless black people that think BLM, org or movement, is beyond stupid. It's mainly woke lefty white people preaching nonsense. You'd struggle to find any sensible high profile people supporting BLM nowadays yet countless ones slating it. Sure it's just a coincidence 🤔

Slavery never sat well with the English

Don't let this stop you being a racist idiot and bringing the colour of someone's wife into the discussion for no reason whatsoever though

Never is an impossibly long time.

Even in the 11th century, the Domesday Book recorded 10% of England's population as being slaves. There's much more going farther back in time, but if we're talking the colonial period, it had a long, long history of not just tolerance but promotion of slavery.

The export of slaves to America was a burgeoning trade for the English as early as the 1500s. England also attempted to deal with "the Gypsy problem" by transporting them as slaves to North America and the Caribbean. In addition, transportation as indentured labour was one of, if not the main way of adding to the labour force in the colonies. Most of the early Irish arrived that way. Most of those early colonists who held slaves in America were English. Even the Crown had investments in the slave trade.

Your comment, in short, is a complete load of historically revisionist, wishful thinking bollocks.

And just to set you straight on the other count, it was the user who U8366 responded to who brought his wife's ethnicity into the conversation.

Not outright but they had no problem colonising and robbing the world blind of its wealth, knowledge and resources while basically enslaving native populations and putting them in concentration camps to provide free labour to help them empty the mines of all mineral wealth and farm the lands until barren.

Its the same in football. Players going to Saudi are greedy, dodgy Arabs, bad career moves etc etc

Messi going to MLS with all those sponsorship deals is being hailed a victory for white football.

This recent trend for people to be concerned with things that happened at a time when people had a life expectancy of 35, lived in rural villages, and ate gruel is a bit ridiculous given that a mere 40 years ago I could get easily get my head bashed in easily for having the wrong colour skin.

I have the scars from the terraces to prove it.

So you'll pardon me if I don't consider football fans as the shining beacon of hope for anti-racism just because they've knowledged up on colonisation.

20% of people in this Country live in poverty. Does it sit well with the English?

Do you equate only what Governments, Monarchs, and the Wealthy do in any given period of English history to define 'English', or do you think there's a bigger picture to what that actually is?

posted on 25/6/23

Oh sorry it must of course be historical revisionist bollox to consider that the Wealthy that continually enslave others through various means aren't representative of an entire nation.

Moving back to the point which is how dumb the BLM movement is demanding reparations for things that happened centuries ago and people then concerning themselves with things that happened centuries ago as a badge of honour for how knowledgeable they are.

Why are there no direct financial reparations from football being a platform for racism in the 80s which has done untold psychological damage to people who are still alive?

An apology and some people taking a knee is supposed to be sufficient for a sport in which people get paid millions which was partially funded by racist thugs?
