Well I didn't name called anyone in particular in this thread so I reckon you're full of shit, babe.
Bye now, I have things to do. But see you soon I hope.

Will do!Yes, please don't deprive us of your articulate, enlightened commentary for any longer than absolutely necessary.
Same thing happened in France a couple of years ago, a young black Frenchmen got "mistakenly" sodomized by a cop's baton.Yeah, I remember the case of Abner Louima, when the police decided to crush his testicles, and sodomise him with a broken broom handle, causing massive internal damage.
I'm not racist, but…Then one of the cops paraded around the station with the blood and excrement-stained handle shouting, “I took a man down tonight!” Afterwards, there were actually people saying, “Yeah, not defending the cops, but he shouldn’t have been violent and resisted arrest.”
I love the “not defending the cops” line. If that’s true, what exactly is the point of such comments?

The cop said for his defense he didn't meant it to happen…
Police in France have claimed that an officer anally raped a 22-year-old black man with a truncheon by mistake.
In an initial investigation, they found “insufficient evidence” to support the man's claim that he was deliberately sodomised.
A lawyer for one of the officers suggested his expandable baton slipped into the man's anus by accident.
The findings of the internal police inquiry were announced as violent protests continued for a sixth night in Paris' northern suburbs, over the incident involving a man identified only as Théo.
The youth worker suffered such severe injuries to his rectum during an arrest last week in Aulnay-sous-Bois, north of Paris, that he needed major emergency surgery and remains in hospital.
Is this what has actually happened, though?If the state is represented by thugs that consistently perpetrate unlawful violence, largely with impunity, that contract is broken and we see the consequences of not having the rule of law.
What the English settlers did is in the past. We can't change the past. We're not even English settlers. We've very much become our own countries.if white communities had been treated the way black people have, youÂ’d have had war in the streets a long time ago
No, I'm against breaking the lockdown rules for protests. Maybe everyone should wait until they're not so emotional before they protest? Let it cool down a bit and have a serious talk about how shit USA police work is after the virus is 100% gone?In my country, even in lockdown the amount of people who were dying on a weekly basis was much more than the average amount of people that died in previous years in that same period. I'm sure that not having a lockdown would have made those numbers even higher as Sweden shows, or even Brazil to some extent. If you are against the lockdown rules then I suppose you also feel that all those extra deaths are of a lesser importance than the economy and that it also holds when those extra deaths are in your family.
Because it works so well?There have been protests against racism for a long time already and it still isn't gone, so protesting against it is still a good thing to do.
I'm just commenting on global responses and connecting the dots.By lumping the corona rules, protesters and the rioters together you are trying to invalidate the reasons for why they protest. Combining things together like that is a simple trick that people use to generate 'evidence' to support their opinion. Conspiracy theories are also born that way.
Any live matters, but given that there are still many people out there who feel that white live matters more than black, the black lives matter movement has every reason to exist.
It obviously is not in the past.What the English settlers did is in the past. We can't change the past. We're not even English settlers. We've very much become our own countries.
So land grabbing has no benefits. It is no like the paper money million benefits come from it and only represent a fraction of the no benefit land grabbing.These days everyone has it pretty hard. But it's the blacks here who get all the special programs and treatment. Why are we housing randoms from Afghanistan, hooking them up with a house and car? Aboriginals get millions of benefits. They never have to work.
Giving them their land back, letting them collect the rent on invading populations. No matter what millions those benefits are, they are dwarfed by the collection of that money.The more we give the more we're called racist. We can't even have Australia day now without it being called racist. What's next? It will be something!
Do you mean "my two cents", or is that another expression I don't know?Not making any sense?!
Well, look. Here's my too sense.
USA police work isn't great, I'll give you that. But that should just make them want to comply more. If you resist you get thumped. It's the same everywhere, I think.
No, not at all. We're just pro-freedom and believe people should, largely, be able to make those choices for themselves in this case. Nothing is stopping you from staying in your house if that's what you want to do. You shouldn't have the right to force that opinion/decision on the rest of us - it's authoritarianism, plain and simple. I'm sure you disagree, that's fine, just explaining to you how many of us see it, since it seems you aren't at all aware.If you are against the lockdown rules then I suppose you also feel that all those extra deaths are of a lesser importance than the economy and that it also holds when those extra deaths are in your family.
Yeah the protests are about racism and it really does exist, however there is exactly zero evidence that the George Floyd incident had anything to do with racism. It's a fabricated narrative. In fact, the cop who killed him is married to a non-white person (Vietnamese I believe), and has a non-white stepson. Definitely a massive white supremacist there.The protests are about racism. It really does exist. There have been protests against racism for a long time already and it still isn't gone, so protesting against it is still a good thing to do. The death of George Floyd is the trigger that makes people go out on the streets.
In the USA, there has been little to zero enforcing of any "distancing rules" whatsoever for the protests and riots, in fact some leaders have gone out of their way to say that they will not enforce any of it on the protesters or rioters.I don't know how the protests are being done in other countries. In my country the distance rules are taking into account or the demonstration is ended, with the exception of one that took place in Amsterdam, which probably results in some political backlash.

Ok, sure, he could be racist against blacks but not Asians, fair enough.White supremacism and racism are not the same thing. And racism does not have to be targeted at all other races, it may very well be targeted at a subset.
