What Is Wrong....

[MartinMillar]

With wanting equality?
Given the number of posts against Black lives matter, what is wrong with people of colour to be treated equally?
What is wrong with not wanting to fear for your life when pulled over by the coppers?
I will take the knee if given the opportunity!

// >>> Are you in favour of defunding the police and closing prisons?

YES!!!

Most definitely so! //

who would you have replace the police? and how would they deal/cope with events such as those recently in reading and Glasgow, or something like the Manchester arena bombing?

Scrapping the police would only lead to the formation of militia and vigilante groups, funded by the local populace. These may prove to be not so over-eager to 'take the knee'.

I had black caribbean barber who came as a jnr 10y+ ago. Tyrone got all the school boys (eton) to build his clientele; his artistic cuts, rail tracks & tints, for holidays, were soon famed. He now has his own salon in London.

Re. OP.
1 Nothing - they already are. Schools are open to all, laws are inclusive of all. What more can be done? Black children benefit on an equal level as brown, yellow and white and all in-between. (I know this.) All on the back of slavery profits, sorry to puncture any cherished ideas.
2 In this country you would have to be very, very neurotic to fear for your life if pulled over by the coppers.

I would most certainly not 'take the knee' (ridiculous expression). Why should I? B.L.M. is a nasty, Marxist, anti-Semitic movement which has been given unwarranted support and exposure by the media and the gullible have fallen for it.

I am on the 'All lives matter' side and will not change.

What unsupported and unreasoned assertions are you talking about?

Equality is where everyone is given the same opportunity but not the same result.

How many black people have been killed by the police in the last 3 years in this country, and how many white people

[tiggerblue10]

I wouldn't 'take the knee'. I support equality for all but it's not for me to express myself in this way. Much as I understood BLM at the beginning, their agenda has become unreasonable and quite dangerous. And that includes the latest offering re. Israel.
