Black Lives Matter

[Letters]

If I walked into my office tomorrow and declared there were "So many damn blacks" how do you think my "Well I'm factually right" defence would go?

If you just randomly said it out of context then not very well.
If you were responding to someone who claimed that black people were being systematically removed from your office and you were a bit pissed off because you knew that was bollocks then while I continue to agree the word "damn" adds nothing and if anything yes, undermines the point, the point remains valid.

What I'm defending, or rather what I'm railing against, is the idea that people can say something which is true and be sacked for it because they said it the wrong way or because the thing they said, while true, goes against the woke culture we increasingly live in.

I'm open to the idea that I am becoming a grumpy old bastard who rails against young people's attitudes.

Can't even be openly racist anymore. It's PC gone mad.

You're actually being quite reasonable, the left has become so extreme and unhinged anything that goes against their beliefs is alt-right and Nazi.

Also just lol at "it's only confederate statues"




These people want to tear down all history, Orwell was scarily right “Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. History has stopped.”

The mountain is a fucking eyesore. An act of complete vandalism.

I’d be saying the same thing if they carved Kylie Minogue’s ass from the Spinning Around video on it.

It could definitely be improved

They don’t put one and done Presidents on there unless they’re assassinated.

Now, if they put his boss on there, that might be different.

In times past I used to cut Letters a little slack because I thought he was just being an agent provocateur trying to drum up traffic to this site with his stream of dumb comments. Then this BLM issue came up and I realized he just might be o e of those people who denies being racist because he has had lunch with some black people In the office.
Imagine if I said in a public forum that Hitler wasn't all bad because he was the architect of the first autobahns. Which is also factually true.

I've had a rethink again because you can tell from his pontificate actions here that brook no challenge that he actually thinks he is superior to all mankind. Black, brown or white. He is a Letters supremacist. He needs our help.

If you can’t debate like a grown up then don’t bother.
All you’ve done is declare the argument dumb and then made an ad hominem attack.
Oh, and you threw in a false equivalence logical fallacy just for the lolz.
