Sounds a good idea. 'All slavers' would be even better.

I can see why that would concern a racist who posts 'anonymously' to usenet. Where will the whole
BLM thing end? Will they track down people who post hate speech on teh intarwebz?

Here on TV there was another black man whining about slavery and they
did some

other blacks and sold them. Hilarious!

Indeed not but in those cases they were a people suddenly freed from
tyranny and taking revenge on their oppressors. No one is oppressed
in the UK and all UK connections with slavery were killed in 1833.

What we've had over the last few days is rent-a-mob taking advantage
of trouble in another continent to kick off here without the
slightest justification.

The only racial discrimination I am aware of is the BBC advertising
jobs for none whites and various people telling us how much they hate
white people.

Are we talking UK or US?

In the US I have these figures for 2013 for murders of blacks and
whites per 1,000,000 members of the murdered persons race..

Whites killed by blacks 9.83
Blacks killed by whites 0.77
Whites killed by whits 10.22
Blacks killed by blacks 53.94

The American Bureau of Justice Statistics tells us that Black men
commit more than half of the murders in the country but are only 13%
of the population.

It was indeed awful the way the police officer treated and killed
that man but I understand he has been charged with murder, what more
do people want. In addition this man was a high on drugs and a
criminal who held a gun to a pregnant woman, he was no saint.

So if black lives matter in America what group of people need to sort
this out? I'll wait!

In the UK the majority of blacks get murdered by other blacks. I did
see the figures last week but didn't note them down.

All lives matter and no one group's lives are any more important than
another's otherwise, that it racism.

If The black community wish to prevent black people being murdered
then looking at their own community behaviour would have far more
effect.

Sorry the facts don't match the current lefty agenda.

No and I don't believe that people of other races fear that in the UK
either. The states may be another issue.
Post by Alan Baker
Black people fear that, and they are RIGHT to fear it.
In the states I take it?

Maybe so, and it should be definitely be changed but having a riot
and looting shops doesn't to me look like a sensible approach to
stopping police racism. And as most black people get murdered by
other black people, it doesn't look a good way to reduce blacks
getting murdered either.

We all know that in the states things were very bad in the past but
it's getting better but not fast enough I get that. I'm not saying
that there are not rogue racist cops in the US, clearly there are. I
also hope that the full wait of the law deals with cop murderers
until it gets stamped out. However, the chief cause of black people
being murdered is a very long way from being the police.

It seems to be the stated intention of BLM is to rid the USA of the
police. We're told by black people this would be Nirvana. Really? You
have to question the sanity of anyone who thinks removing the police
would reduce people of any race being killed.
Post by Alan Baker
That is privilege you have.
Good grief, you really believe that don't you.

Clearly you are too lefty and woke for me to converse any further
with, just look at the figures for blacks getting murdered here or in
the states and ask who is responsible. QED.

Only if you're looking for an excuse to virtue signal or kick off
some trouble.

If you wish to prevent black people getting murdered which is a
good thing, look at who kills black people.
Hint: the figures tell you the police are way, way down the list
but lets not stop a riot or a narrative with facts.

Don't be absurd, you don't like facts then?

What I said is logical and correct, it is your "I want there to be an
issue" that is skewed.

The figures simply do not support the narrative that UK police are
killing black people any more than whites, the numbers aren't there.

However, there are a group of people out there that are killing lots
of black people so why not take action with them? Because that
wouldn't suite the agenda?

And I'm letting down the white race with my logic?

Oh I see now, so you concede the point about the police not being the

Strange though that the stated aim of BLM certainly in America is to
remove the police altogether. Removing the police in NYC say the
leaders, "would be nirvana".

How does that work then?

The logic of this is astounding, only a complete lunatic could
believe that removing the police would make black lives better or
reduce black people getting murdered.

Oh and just to be clear, I am concerned to reduce the number of
people getting murdered of any race but the people committing the
murders need to be dealt with be they police or anyone else.
Doing irrational things like rioting, bringing down the police or
vandalism is not going to reduce anyone's risk of getting killed.

What black inequality do you see personally?

I see plenty of black and asian people doing just as well and better
than I, We have the same jobs and live in the same houses. In what
ways are the asian people across the road or my black teacher mate
who loves f1 not equal to me? I would genuinely like to know.

No it isn't Bob.

THAT IS ANOTHER LIE BOB.

One of the stated aims of BLM is to "defund the police", which has been
most widely expressed as taking some of the funds from policing and
using it in a more efficient and productive way than simply responding
to every 911 call with a man and a gun. They assert that many of the
circumstances that lead to police interactions could be avoided in the
first place with better social welfare, mental health and housing
initiatives.

Bob, you make no pretence of wishing to discuss anything honestly. You
clearly have an agenda and that agenda is rooted in dishonesty and
denial.

So this is a problem in another continent which we in Britain are

Help me understand. So, in the USA...

Is this need only found in the black community or do people of all
races have similar needs?

If different in the black communities, why is that?

And the fault for this is white people, how so?

The majority of black people murdered in the states are murdered by
other black people indeed way more than by police, why is that?

Bob, you make no pretence of wishing to discuss anything honestly.

Well you're good at being vicious and nasty I'll grant you that.
I notice you've not told me how my friends and neighbours are at a
disadvantage though have you? Or is this just a USA thing?

You had a black president didn't you? Was he disadvantaged?

We've also found that police in the UK are not killing black people
any more than other people. The numbers show that.

Oh and shouting in capitals and throwing insults doesn't help you
look rational.

<https://time.com/5850041/bill-de-blasio-chirlane-mccray-time-100-oug
htalks/>

Chirlane McCray is married to Bill de Blasio the Mayor of NYC. She used
the term nirvana and also utopia in the sense that it's a hypothetical
dream - NYC without the need for the NYPD. de Blasio said that could
not happen for several generations.

"“That would be like a nirvana, a utopia that we are nowhere close to
getting to,” McCray said during a TIME100 Talks discussion.

When asked whether New York City could follow suit in disbanding its
police department—the nation’s largest with about 36,000 officers—McCray
laughed. “They’re a small city,” she said of Minneapolis, where a white
police officer kneeled on Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes on May
25, reigniting national backlash over incidents of police brutality
against black men and women.

“They can do things that would not be possible in a large city like New
York,” McCray added.

De Blasio agreed that such a move, which is rare nationwide, wouldn’t be
realistic in a city with about 8.6 million people. “Could the human race
evolve to a point where no guardians, no structures are needed? I guess
in theory,” he said, “but I don’t see that in the future we’re going to
live the next few generations.”

Neither of them are associated with BLM, though I'd imagine as parents
of two mixed-race children they might look on it favourably.

"Last week, de Blasio and McCray’s 25-year-old daughter, Chiara de
Blasio, was arrested while protesting—a moment that caught her parents
off guard.

“I didn’t know that she was out there,” McCray told TIME, adding that
she only found out after her daughter was released from jail."

So not the stated aim of BLM as Bob said. He does like putting words in

Not a stated aim on their website either, must be one of those hidden
agenda things people mention. :)

You can find someone online saying just about anything if you look for
it.

I know one guy who claims racism in Britain doesn't exist (yet he can
explain the millions of search results on the topic).

So this "black lady" was speaking for BLM was she... or was it just
that because she was black that you thought that a logical assumption.

You are the only one making protests about racial inequality about
the sole issue police killings in the UK.
I have not seen one report which agrees with you.
Oh I see now, so you concede the point about the police not being the
big issue, good.
See there you go Bob, you're first instinct is to lie.
You're a fucking liar Bob.
I just want to use this post to highlight that Bob.
YOU ARE A DUMBASS LIAR BOB.
Don't be so ridiculous.
Don't waste your time Bob.
This weird bird never stops arguing lying and accusing each and everyone
for exactly that what he himself is doing all the time.

For fun you can respond but don't think you can have meaningful a
conversation or anything.

Thank you, I'm learning.

I did make the mistake of not realising the conversation included USA
people. I don't know any particulars of their situation except a few
numbers and I have no experience of living in the States.

I apologise to my American friends and will try to notice when
crossposting to two groups. sorry nascar.

I was focused more on the goings on in the UK.

But yes Edmund I take your point indeed.


Cheers.

I hadn't realised I was posting to a nascar group because the focus
was on Lewis Hamilton. That was a mistake on my part.

However, 'Dozens' is plural and I've not made 24 posts or near in the

Look Bob, I understand English and I understand that you have attempted
to mischaracterise what you said and I understand why.

When I said racism exists and you said "does it, sorry to hear that"
there is no misconstruing.

Nor here "The only racial discrimination I am aware of is the BBC
advertising
jobs for none whites and various people telling us how much they hate
white people. "

I think I suggested early on that you should think before mouthing off.
As it is I can only agree that like your initial posts you're
protestations are quite absurd.

You have dug your hole Bob, lie in it; it's what you do naturally.

I don't want to join in this thread, but a couple of points.

The whole thread has been cross-posted to the NASCAR group.

The quote about NYC without police being 'nirvana' comes from
a Time magazine interview with mayor de Blasio and his wife.

It was his wife who said it, but "Bill de Blasio Doesn’t See It
Happening for Generations".

Black people get shot even when unarmed; even when cooperating.
Are we talking UK or US?
In the US I have these figures for 2013 for murders of blacks and
whites per 1,000,000 members of the murdered persons race..
Whites killed by blacks 9.83
Blacks killed by whites 0.77
Whites killed by whits 10.22
Blacks killed by blacks 53.94
The American Bureau of Justice Statistics tells us that Black men
commit more than half of the murders in the country but are only 13%
of the population.
It was indeed awful the way the police officer treated and killed
that man but I understand he has been charged with murder, what more
do people want. In addition this man was a high on drugs and a
criminal who held a gun to a pregnant woman, he was no saint.
So if black lives matter in America what group of people need to
sort this out?    I'll wait!
Uk figures...
In the last 10 years that's TEN YEARS, deaths in UK police custody.
White: 140
Black: 13
Other minority: 10
But going by percentage of population more than twice as likely to die.
Interesting... do you by any change have figures about the occupation of
these victims?

Black people fear that, and they are RIGHT to fear it.
In the states I take it?
Maybe so, and it should be definitely be changed but having a riot
and looting shops doesn't to me look like a sensible approach to
stopping police racism.
You do know that most of the protests were peaceful and that you trying
to ignore that and only talk about the criminals who took advantage is
misleading and a misrepresentation.

It is a dishonest tactic to concentrate on the actions of extremists in
ignorance of the majority.

So I guess that is what you will continue to do.
Post by Bob Latham
And as most black people get murdered by
other black people, it doesn't look a good way to reduce blacks
getting murdered either.
We all know that in the states things were very bad in the past but
it's getting better but not fast enough I get that. I'm not saying
that there are not rogue racist cops in the US, clearly there are. I
also hope that the full wait of the law deals with cop murderers
until it gets stamped out. However, the chief cause of black people
being murdered is a very long way from being the police.
So as someone who denies racism exists in the UK you are an authority
on racism in America? while denying that any systemic racism exists.

Your credibility rating is pretty low at this stage.
Post by Bob Latham
It seems to be the stated intention of BLM is to rid the USA of the
police.
Wrong or just a lie.

We're told by black people this would be Nirvana. Really? You
have to question the sanity of anyone who thinks removing the police
would reduce people of any race being killed.
A straw man argument.
Post by Bob Latham
Post by Alan Baker
That is privilege you have.
Good grief, you really believe that don't you.
Clearly you are too lefty and woke for me to converse any further
with, just look at the figures for blacks getting murdered here or in
the states and ask who is responsible. QED.
Another straw man.

The issue here is racism. If it were murder we would be talking about
the second amendment.

Indeed not but in those cases they were a people suddenly freed

Seems the people throwing statues of slavers into the harbour disagree.

Exactly.
Exactly? Really?
Oh come on this whole thing is madness. There's a black lady in New
York yesterday saying how it will be wonderful when NY is free of the
police. What sort of idiot do you have to be to want to get rid of

So what "exactly" is your heritage?
Clearly not white privileged because that would be far to
stereotypical.
Yes, I'm white and proud and I've not harmed or damaged any person
from another race or culture. Where exactly is my white privilege? I
was lucky enough to be born into a civilised UK, that's it.
I went to school, I got a job, I worked hard all my life to provide
food and shelter. I retired.
Plenty of black and asian people I know have done better than me but
I don't resent that but I resent the idea that I'm privileged.
It appears to all boil down to you choosing not to recognise racism in
any form in a country where it is a very real issue.

If you haven't been touched by discrimination you are very fucking
privileged.

Indeed not but in those cases they were a people suddenly freed

oppressed in the UK and all UK connections with slavery were
killed in 1833.
Seems the people throwing statues of slavers into the harbour disagree.
well I'll agree they're all wound up but no-one in the UK is affected

way over the top. Here on TV there was another black man
whining about slavery and they did some research,guess what,
his ancestors belonged to a tribe that enslaved other blacks
and sold them. Hilarious! Where do you want to draw the line,
by women, because Eve eat the apple?
Exactly.
Exactly? Really?
Oh come on this whole thing is madness. There's a black lady in New
York yesterday saying how it will be wonderful when NY is free of the
police. What sort of idiot do you have to be to want to get rid of
the police? It would be a blood bath.

I have seen some dislike of some *cultures* but not races.

A current example is that people are upset by the grooming gangs
issue which does appear to be mainly associated with certain
cultures. That's not racist.

People cannot choose the colour of their skin or their race. Racism
is stupid. A person can choose their beliefs and behaviour and it is
right to hold people to account for their behaviour.

investigation it makes them look somewhat prejudiced.

In complete honesty, I do see racism in the media, Day after day I
see none white people on the box telling us how much they hate
whites. I do see that racism, you can't miss it.
I take it you mean "non-white".

That's odd - I've never seem that. Maybe you are extrapolating a bit much.

So the toppling of the statue of Stalin in Hungry or Saddam in
Iraq somehow re-wrote history?
Indeed not but in those cases they were a people suddenly freed
from tyranny and taking revenge on their oppressors. No one is
oppressed in the UK and all UK connections with slavery were
killed in 1833.
Seems the people throwing statues of slavers into the harbour
disagree.
well I'll agree they're all wound up but no-one in the UK is affected
by slavery it ended in 1833. It's just an excuse to kick off that's
all.

The only racial discrimination I am aware of is the BBC
advertising jobs for none whites and various people telling us
how much they hate white people.
Well that is problematic. Does you saying you don't see
discrimination against minorities indicates that you are blind to
it, oblivious or that it doesn't exist?
None of those. I have not seen it since school days. I have worked
with black and asian all my working life, never saw a problem.

Hint: it does exist.
Does it, sorry to hear that, where's that then?

Well I see your point I do however think this whole hype is going
Post by Edmund
way over the top. Here on TV there was another black man
whining about slavery and they did some research,guess what,
his ancestors belonged to a tribe that enslaved other blacks
and sold them. Hilarious! Where do you want to draw the line,
by women, because Eve eat the apple?
Exactly.
Exactly? Really?
Oh come on this whole thing is madness. There's a black lady in New
York yesterday saying how it will be wonderful when NY is free of the
police. What sort of idiot do you have to be to want to get rid of
the police? It would be a blood bath.
If the UK police were banished the very first thing I would do is
obtain firearms to protect my self and my family.
Post by Bigbird
So what "exactly" is your heritage?
Clearly not white privileged because that would be far to
stereotypical.
Yes, I'm white and proud and I've not harmed or damaged any person
from another race or culture. Where exactly is my white privilege? I
was lucky enough to be born into a civilised UK, that's it.
I went to school, I got a job, I worked hard all my life to provide
food and shelter. I retired.
Plenty of black and asian people I know have done better than me but
I don't resent that but I resent the idea that I'm privileged.
Isn't it somewhat ironic that a non-white man under the leadership of
an Aryan origin has gone on to be the richest sportsman in British
history? How he must have suffered.

I'm not saying he didn't get racial abuse. I'm saying that for all
the racism that has supposedly damaged him so much he is making his
best impression under an Ayran white guy for a German team. That's a
good thing because it means in that arena racism isn't prevalent and
Hamilton is not the right person to be squealing about it.

If Hamilton had understood any history he wouldn't even have
considered for a minute to take up the position he has as a matter of
principle if he was so scarred.

He should shut up and stick to doing what he does best and does very
well at.

I've been a serious Lewis fan since he came to f1. I spent as much
time shouting 'come on Lewis' as I did for Nigel. Now for the first

saying I have white privilege whilst he lives in a tax haven and has
his own plane.

He advocates violence and riots that are BLM and thinks he has the

Very, very sad but not a Lewis fan any more.

Your account appears somewhat coloured.

Seeing as you attempted to colour me as an extreme leftist with zero
evidence suggesting that was anything but a lie your judgement and what
colours it is somewhat in question.

I only read that he agreed with the tearing down of the statue of a

Well, firstly I suspect that it has much more to do with the fact that he
knows that he will never get a "K" as a tax dodger, so he's trying another
route, rather than actually having any deeply held views on the matter.

Secondly, I'm a bit uneasy with any attempt to rewrite history, especially
when it's done by mob rule rather than as a result of reasoned debate and
democratic agreement.

Thirdly, I think that there are far more important ways to deal with the
dreadful injustices of racism than tearing down a few old statues. Smacks
of tokenism - "we've taken down a few statues, renamed a couple of
places/streets, so that's racism sorted out. Let's move on to something
else". The effort that's going in to removing statues would be better spent
tackling economic and social deprevation, etc.

Maybe it's tokenism, but in the case of Christopher Columbus, it was
tokenism that led to him having statues in the first place. The United
States is just full of Columbus statues, you could say it's infested
with them! But why? Columbus never stepped foot in any land that is now
a part of the territory of the USA. Yet he is credited with
"discovering" it? Never mind the fact that that land was inhabited for
tens of thousands of years by people, so how do you discover something
that already had people living there. Even if you're just going on the
criterion of "first European" to discover America, then even there he
falls short, as the Vikings were there 500 years before him, yet no
statues of Leif Erikson (which is the appropriate situation, he deserves
no statues either). Columbus deserves statues or paintings in museums
only, not out in public squares in cities throughout the US.

Even the country named after Columbus, Columbia, doesn't have as many
public statues of Columbus as the US has. The US has built a mythology
of its own superiority around Columbus, which definitely needs to stop now.

Yes, there are, mostly in US cities with a significant population of
Nordic descent of course.
Columbus deserves statues or paintings in museums only, not out in

Agreed, but there's a lot of pushback. Lionizing Columbus was a big
part of the ritual Americanization of immigrant Italians - and hence
their admission into "whiteness."

People were trying to get the Colston statue taken down via official
channels when I lived in Bristol, and that was over 20 years ago.

Removing statues does nothing to rewrite history, and nor should it. It
just means there are parts of it that we no longer feel the need to
celebrate or glorify, and moving statues to more suitable locations --
whether that's a museum, or a scrap heap -- is one relatively simple way
to reflect that.
