I think as @KenjiOgiwara says, its only when its depriving money from other erstwhile causes or propagates mistreatment/violence against others, thats when religion becomes an issue. Couldn't care less otherwise. Going off topic though I don't think the 'christian' bit can be easily decoupled from 'white christian', unfortunately, especially when it usually implicitly, if not sometimes explicitly, invokes some kind of ideal and exclusive identity. That's the problem here. It's an us thing. Unfortunately, the us people tend to then include plenty who may be white and christian who would not in any way see themselves as part of that us other than if the us included everyone.

Couldn't care less otherwise. Going off topic though Yes it does matter, the sooner we recognise at a state level that we are in fact a secular society the sooner we can rid the country of the scurge of faith schools (of any denomination) and to be completely on-topic, faith schools are a factor in the racism in society as they start the separation of kids by colour at an early age. The separation of kids by religion and force feeding them religion at an early age is a factor in all of this 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post ChrisVillan Posted June 22, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 We are witnessing an absolute masterclass. Remember when the original point was some racist replies to a tweet? Yeah, this is how they do it. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Chindie Posted June 22, 2020 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2020 It's ok. We solved racism. Another black guy got killed by police in another country and a lot of us agreed it was bad and made a bit of noise and went on walks with banners for a couple of weekends and listened to some podcasts with soul searching tones and Global Tech Holdings Inc had a black colourway of their logo on Twitter and put out a nice bit of marketing copy and the football is back and they didn't have names on their shirts and there was a gesture at the start along with every other shielding badge they could to make up for the fact ultimately the money matters more and at the end of the day the noise was made so can we go back to normal now? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 For anyone worried the Bristol anti slave trade people were being given favourable treatment over fascists, the Bristol police have now issued photos of 15 statue liberators they’d like to talk to. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The name reminded me of Forrest Gump so I assumed it was a black man taking a stance on BLM in Nascar. Then I saw a picture of him and I thought he was a white dude. And made me think, well cool a white dude talking up BML in nascar of all places. But apparantly he is black after all. Nevermind me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nevermind me I think the small addition of the word "Shrimp" into any of the above sentences & we would have had perfect example of a brain momentarily folding in on itself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll probably be the lone voice on this but I don't know why this country allows asylum seekers who are habitual criminals to remain in the country. Why isn't it a condition of your asylum that your right to stay is dependant on you not committing crime. RIP to the three innocent people. Considering the barbarity of these murders, the subject hasn't attracted much comment on this Forum. I wonder what would have happened if the murdering piece of excrement had been identified as a 'Tommy Robinson' supporter . 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is however the perfect pace to introduce A.I driven cars. All with different personality types and risk taking elements in their profiles. It would be the only way to watch it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've really spent a lot of time following the "turn left" part of the directions, to be fair. Shame it's not been adopted more widely in big America. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming you're wondering because you are one judging by the tone of victimised white man you seem to share with them. By the way, I think asylum seekers who commit violent crimes should be removed. Not that it's relevant to the racism thread. Do you have an opinion to post yourself, or just on a fishing trip? 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
