These discussions have been going on for years. No one wanted to listen.
BLM are not far right, if anything they are far left ??BLM is a far right political party. That have been proven to insight hate and violence! Why do you think the premier league have removed any/ all associations with this vile group? Alesha needs to calm her a down and remember who pays her lifestyle also she could do with some education on the BLM group. Not to say anti racism should not be applauded highlighted,etc but definitely not In the name of BLM.
Can you give any links to where the BLM wants to defund the police (which has been done by the conservative party for the past 10 years) or where the movement is doing any of the other nutty things that you suggest? https://blacklivesmatter.com/You make a fair point. Support anti-racism, of course. But directly supporting BLM who are want to defund the police (clearly stereotyping all officers as racist beings then), terrorizing restaurant owners, demanding monthly protection money or else they’ll set the place on fire, amongst other things. It’s nothing to do with the improving the lives of black people.
if you actually search on the link of the site you posted for defund police it will take you straight to the petition.Can you give any links to where the BLM wants to defund the police (which has been done by the conservative party for the past 10 years) or where the movement is doing any of the other nutty things that you suggest? https://blacklivesmatter.com/
PS - Why did you say that Alesha needs to calm her 'a' down. Did you mean her black a?
there are people who post for a reaction, and make themselves look foolish by doing so. That post you quoted is a perfect example.not everything everyone says is racism and you’re trying to put words into the posters mouth, accusing them of meaning something when they haven’t meant it in that way.

I really doubt you have a hint of melanin in your skin, and if I am wrong. Your friends and family should really distance themselves from a 32 year old who recommends Owens and isn't joking.As a mixed half white half Jamaican 32 year old, I’m actually so disappointed at the black community and how they are going about this issue. I feel they are just throwing it down everyone’s throats and as previously stated anyone who has a different view point is instantly racist! The community are almost proving the point of the true racist Bigots buy blanket stereotyping all white (or different view point) as racists and saying how bad the UK is. Dressing in black panther style military style scaring older folks?????? Really????? And In my personal experience it’s 9/10 white spoilt trust fund university students always protesting on behalf of the BLM movement ....Now feminism or me too is not flavour of the month!!!
my white mothers family who are not at all racist as we are a well mixed family with interracial relationships are upset and tired of being labeld racist and made to feel bad and guilty for the history of their ancestors....madness!!!!!!!!!!!!
As for BGT sorry but no place for political statements such as this! not a family show.... it was purely for shock value and ratings! George Floyd was nothing to with the UK firstly so let’s keep our noses out of American matters .....and secondly can you imagine a depiction of the say the James buldger murder ....on America’s got talent .....a totally unrelated freak event that didn’t take place in that country but the country in uproar over it??? Hope that analogy Makes sense..... All lives matter to me not just my black families but my white also .......and next saying that does not deminish the history of the black community or the genuine racism felt today but the more we divide the less chance of ever healing this wound and that is a sad fact!!!
check out candance Owens she is a queen!!!!!
@GossWhore , please tell me is this racism in your view or no because it's about "whites"?So a black lady has "joked" about killing white people. Which is definatley racism. Wheres the up roar for this?
As I said before racism isn't just against black people.
Go back and read @Lreb88 comments where it states exactly where this comment sits. It. is. not. racist.@GossWhore , please tell me is this racism in your view or no because it's about "whites"?
I am surprised anyone takes Candice Owens seriouslyI really doubt you have a hint of melanin in your skin, and if I am wrong. Your friends and family should really distance themselves from a 32 year old who recommends Owens and isn't joking.
The fact you say white people cannot experience racism just shows who you are as a person. Yet if a comedian made jokes like that about a black person there would be absolute outrage, death threats, removed from all telly and slated by all media. Yet BLM says it wants black and white people to be equal....Go back and read @Lreb88 comments where it states exactly where this comment sits. It. is. not. racist.

You miss the point that people are still experiencing racism in 2020.. I find it unfair that white people can get abuse but it doesn't matter and is fair game because of what we did many many years back.

Sue Barker didn’t lose her job because she’s white, what are you talking about? They wanted to refresh the show, which happens in tv all the time.It really angers me when people say that racism cannot happen to white people when in actual fact racism can happen to any race. White people to black people, black people to white people, white or black people to asian people and vice versa.
As for BLM, I wouldn't usually comment on this as it's a touchy subject and I tend to stay out of controversial topics, however I'm all for stomping out racism and people of all ethnicities being treated equally but since the BLM movement have seen a lot of abuse and racism to white people rise but of course the media won't show this and people won't accept this, they only want to push one agenda. Let's not forget that Sue Barker was sacked from her job, her job of over a decade, in place for a black woman. In my view that's not fair or ok, we should be in an age where everyone is equal and black, asians, white people all are treated the same. Not white people losing their jobs to push this agenda. You should get the job based on your skills, not your skin colour.
I'm waiting for the comments frombcertain people to be called racist because my comment will definitely be unpopular on here as I'm not blowing the BLM trumpet. Racism is wrong for sure, but we should all be equal to each other and treat each other respect as humans, not one upping each other. Can I say as a white person that we are ashamed and disguted about what our ancestors did to black people, but we are not to do with that and don't agree to it - you can't be mad forever at something white people did many years ago when white people of today are (mostly) very respectful and accepting of a multi cultural society. Times have changed and if anything it's mostly white people pushing BLM and turning up to the protests.
The racism or whatever you want to call it that white people have experienced these last few months is not okay either, though, and two wrongs don't make a right. I find it unfair that white people can get abuse but it doesn't matter and is fair game because of what we did many many years back.
People use racism when it suits them like a comment further back said.... Asians experience quite a bit of racism and get lots of memes about them and blame for being "dirty" giving us Covid but that's ok as are "bobs and vagene" memes, Muslims get terrorist jokes about them and especially EU country nationals get racist remarks from Brits since we voted to leave, I too have seen plenty of racism comments aimed at black people but then in the next moment the *same* people push for BLM and treat it as an accessory almost.
Very Well said! BBC need to appeal to a new generation and the current format was tired.Sue Barker didn’t lose her job because she’s white, what are you talking about? They wanted to refresh the show, which happens in tv all the time.
How do you know that Alex Scott doesn’t have the skills to do the job? Nice that you referred to her as ‘a black woman’ instead of her name too. She has a degree in sports journalism and broadcasting, captained Arsenal ladies and won multiple trophies including the League, the FA Cup and the Champions League. She was capped 140 times by England and also represented Team GB at the Olympics and is a brilliant pundit.
In what way is she not qualified to replace Sue?
YES it is racism. It's a racist because she wants "whites" to die. If I said on TV I wanted "blacks" to die my whole career would be over. But no this woman doesn't get any of that!@GossWhore , please tell me is this racism in your view or no because it's about "whites"?
Just curious, where do you get your statistic about the public not supporting it from?!It’s funny because outside of the online left leaning echo chambers like twitter BLM as a group have very little support from the public, yet their supporters would have you believe all those people are just stupid racists.
Absolutely agree, but as @doddler said, BLM are very far left.BLM is a far right political party. That have been proven to insight hate and violence! Why do you think the premier league have removed any/ all associations with this vile group? Alesha needs to calm her a down and remember who pays her lifestyle also she could do with some education on the BLM group. Not to say anti racism should not be applauded highlighted,etc but definitely not In the name of BLM.
it’s not a statistic it’s just reality isn’t it - the Internet left leaning echo chamber thought everyone was behind remain and that jeremy Corbyn was going to win the election but in reality the majority of the country do not agree with whatever twitter/protesting students are kicking off about that week. the U.K. is a very tolerant country - it’s fair to say most of us are against racism in any form/towards any race, but anyone thinking a majority are behind BLM as a group are kidding themselves. people didn’t take kindly to the statue fiasco, people do not want to erase our history, as much as George Floyds death was clearly murder the fact a violent criminal was the fuel for this didn’t sit right with most people. It’s not stats it’s just reality - it’s been shown time and time again the Internet/social media does not reflect public moodJust curious, where do you get your statistic about the public not supporting it from?!
