You made stuff up that I have not said about BLM and out to get white people, so who's fault is that ? You wrote it !

Who is everyone else ?

Do think black lives matter?

Hmmm. Not convinced if I'm honest. Is Joshua racist?

So is White Lives Matter a racist statement based on context because it suits a narrative ?

Yes, in the context that the Western world is largely run by, and for, white people who've colonised, raped and plundered their way through Africa and India and where black people generally have a harder time of things.

Love the piece in the BBC about "'My Nigerian great-grandfather sold slaves'"

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-53444752

 

We rarely hear about intra-race slavery as opposed to inter-race slavery.

 

The article says"It would be unfair to judge a 19th Century man by 21st Century principles.

...Buying and selling of human beings among the Igbo had been going on long before the Europeans arrived.

People became slaves as punishment for crime, payment for debts, or prisoners of war."

 

So what that person is saying is that because it was what they had always done it was ok...

 

Was it?

Or should we start to cast the spotlight on the atrocities done within races more than between races?

Honestly, since BLM I’ve not stopped hearing about black and Barbary coast slavers. 

 

Why do we need to look at inter race atrocities?

Absolutely - intra-race atrocities are terrible.

 

As are inter-race, of course

I'm starting to think Mr Tinfoilhat that you are just a wind up merchant.

Don't need to. I am a free man who can have an opinion.

You are indeed. Isn’t this country brilliant?

[drolnhoj 15]

It is! You can't change the past, but you can change the future. Especially if you don't criticise everybody's else's views. I don't, can you say that?
