Antifa/BLM riots

[Nom De Plume]

Replacing the police with mental health workers when you call 911 is one of the more bizarre demands. Although all of the demands are bizarre but if someone's breaking into your home or someone else has been shot or stabbed by a gang member and a mental health worker has to answer the call? What then?

Pretty sure no health worker would want to answer a call of violence in any "black culture" neighbourhood whether they are black or white.

Oooops I said a bad word.

What is wrong with saying 'black culture'?
Why is it wrong?
What is an acceptable alternative?

Any clues on this one?

There's nothing wrong with saying "black culture". It is what it is. Red flew off the handle and kept accusing Tex of being racist for saying it.

PFFT! Red can be such a sensitive flower pot sometimes.

A video clip out of Oxford, UK shows two protesters demanding the removal of the Cecil Rhodes statue before admitting they don’t even know who he is.

Thousands of demonstrators gathered outside Oxford’s Oriel College yesterday to demand the removal of “imperialist” Rhodes statue because it is “incompatible” with the city’s “commitment to anti-racism.”

However, it appeared as though some of them didn’t even know why they were there.

“Do you support tearing down the statue?” two men, who both appear to be Muslims, are asked by a woman.

“Yeah,” they respond.

“Why are you against it?” she enquires.

“To be honest, I don’t actually know who he is,” responds one of the men.

“And this has just proved my point, they haven’t got a clue about the history of the things they hate, they just do so because they are being told to,” said one respondent to the clip.

Meanwhile, a local council in Poole, Dorset is attempting to remove a statue of Lord Baden-Powell, the founder of the scouts, but residents have turned up to protect it.

I think a lot of my arguments here are because we speak different dialects of the same language. We place different emphasis on phrases with completely different meanings or context. Aussies are pretty open with their views and feelings and don't hold much back. I have trouble with this because my intentions can easily be misconstrued. I try to be honest about problems in America, but ya'll have a hard time discerning my intentions and can't always tell what I mean when I talk about race issues or when I talk about behaviors of an individual of another race. I like to call a spade a spade. See how that last sentence could be misconstrued when it's a common phrase with no racial connotations in America. I have trouble sometimes telling when you are joking and I'm sure the same goes when try to say something funny. We'll muddle through it.

Aussies can be volatile and quick to react without thinking. TOO quick!

Where does BLM funding come from?

First it goes to ACTBLUE which is the Democrat Party Political Action Committee or PAC.

From there it goes to Act Blue Charities and from there it goes to BLM.

He's being investigated for discrimination.

Did he exempt white students?
How about yellow ones?
