Blm - Undoing The Good?
25 Answers
Alesha Dixon is a beautiful lady, funny, talented, personable - I’d hazard a guess a celebrity that few dislike. I always believed that people like her do more to break down racial barriers than those who run around pulling statues down, wiping history, demonising poets and writers, and ridiculously demanding apologies for historical, and hence unalterable, wrongs.
However, following dance group Diversity’s controversial performance on Britain’s Got Talent, which generated almost 25,000 complaints from viewers, BGT judge Alesha declared disdainfully, ‘They can kiss my black ass’.
Oh dear. So sad to see so much good compromised in one short sentence.

The whole affair has been saddening really and yes,I include Alesha's reply - I'm sure she could have couched it better and classier.
I was also disappointed that certain groups were sending out pro forma complaint forms urging people to 'Bring Diversity down' in order to swell the number of complaints.

It was a totally ridiculous comment by Ms Dixon who up till then I've always liked and admired, just as I did Diversity, especially Ashley. She comes across as arrogant when she says that, as does Ashley when he called the people who complained 'ignorant'. A lot of people didn't approve of the dance and that is their right. It is an entertainment show and they brought their politics into it, which, in my opinion, was totally wrong.
Of course BLM are undoing the good in all areas. At the start of the new NFL season in America, the socially distanced reduced crowds booed the 'unity' demonstrations at the beginning of the games. And who's to say it won't happen here, when they let spectators into the Premier League games and the players 'take the knee'. There are so many popular BAME sports people, these actions seem totally misplaced.
I am convinced, sadly, these BLM driven displays will stoke up racism rather than stop it.
