Can you elaborate what you mean by 'symptomatic of my thinking generally' please mate? As I said before, you seem to be an expert on the matter so a bit more depth and less ambiguity would be appreciated. I mean, I'll take the opinion of someone who called me a nail bomber with a pinch of salt, but don't let that you stop you! You seem to be fixated on the ACAB thing. One brief sentence has produced numerous references to it and out of all the issues raised on this thread it seems a little odd to be the thing you've got hung up about. And while I may have gotten the origins of a grafitti tag incorrect (woe is me, my other comments must be invalid), at least I know that 'leftwing' should actually be written as two seperate words 😊 But not how to spell 'separate' ![(lol)](//storage.proboards.com/800541/images/lvpvZ64EmrkLcuVniUmo.gif) (if we're going to bother going down that childish route, which you seem to have chosen!) Actually left-wing appears to require a hyphen. I'll endeavour to do so in future You keep asking why I laughed at your post and thinking. You asked me to explain, I'm trying to! The complete nonsense about the ACAB thing was symptomatic, that's all. Like you say, it's just one example of an inaccuracy that made me chuckle, not all that important I'd have thought! Also, can I see evidence of where I called you a nail bomber please? Regarding 'ACABgate' as we should now call it, I couldn't care less whether you laughed, chuckled or choked on your coffee. My question is regarding your comment on it being symptomatic of my general thinking and, as this seems to be a dig at me, I'm asking for an explanation as to what you meant by it. It's not difficult. I don't need to find evidence of the nail bomber comment you made to me. It was posted a couple of years ago and went along the lines of "you remind me of David Copeland" (the Neo Nazi London nail bomber from the late '90s). As I've said before, it was a pathetic and puerile comment that says more about you than it does me, but I like to reference it now and again (a bit like you and ACABgate) to show people the kind of person you are. I mean, if you want to obsess over daft comments, yours was a humdinger! Finally, well done. You've got me on 'seperate' (sic), take a bow 😊 That's always been one of my 'bugbear' words that looks right to me when written incorrectly, and totally my fault for arrogantly dismissing predictive text in full flow. However, 'left wing' most definitely does not require a hyphen.

I've only just gone through it and wish I hadn't. It's destroyed the final shred of faith I had left in humanity. It is a fitting testament to the bottom feeders who inhabit this part of the board though. Oh get a grip would you. Literally everybody in this thread is united in their shock and outrage at the video of George Floyd's brutal murder. Literally everyone. The line of separation is over whether this is an example of deep rooted institutional racism, and therefore a pivotal moment in the civil rights movement like the woke media in this country are trying to lead us to believe, or not. I've heard many arguments and seen many stats (such as the overwhelming majority of people killed by police in America being white, and all those statistics being fairly in line with demographics / demographics living in poverty, etc) that refute the arguments BLM are going to war over right now. Stop circle-jerking and acting like you're a few bastions of virtue surrounded by a hoard of racist ogres. I'm not going to spam this thread even more (as tempting as it is) with videos of prominent black American scholars refuting the narrative of institutional racism, because ultimately the irrefutable police brutality that exists in USA is what this thread should be about, but believe me there are many of those scholars and commentators about. And the fucked up thing is, it's similar sorts of people who would scream racist at people like me, who also call those black people refuting the BLM movement names like "uncle tom" and "coconut". So just calm the fuck down acting like this thread is an example of the world falling. You're being hysterical. Poor attempt at justification for whatabouterist racist cunts.

I see this thread has inevitably become a shitheap I've only just gone through it and wish I hadn't. It's destroyed the final shred of faith I had left in humanity. It is a fitting testament to the bottom feeders who inhabit this part of the board though. If you really want to be depressed, go and read the comments section on The Sentinel's article about last night's Black Live Matter protest at Hanley Park (if you can find it amongst the bullshit articles about visiting fucking McDonalds).

Not that tough to understand? No evidence of calling you a nailbomber, hmmm, ok! Incidentally... www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/left-wingAnother inaccuracy? I'll let you off, I suspect both are acceptable. Not worth stressing over surely? But if you are going to start picking up on other people's spelling, getting your own right first seems a fundamental?

But if you are going to start picking up on other people's spelling, getting your own right first seems a fundamental? Similarly, if you're going to pick at other people's posts, make sure your own grammar and punctuation is 'on point'. And you're going to love me: 'nailbomber' (sic) should be two seperate words again. Nailbomb (one word) were an industrial metal band (I'd better get the genre right or I'll never hear the end of it 😂). I've already explained the 'nail bomb' issue, I'm not going to trawl through posts from years ago. It's hardly something I'd make up. Anyway, bored now. Sheikhy's turned up so I'm off to get popcorn and hopefully the thread can get back on track.

Any protest that is given coverage to the point of promotion by the likes of the BBC automatically raises suspicions.
The globalist deep state that controlled slavery are the ones funding such organisations as BLM and Antifa. And the goal is to promote more division, not less, as is pretty evident.
Those with genuine concerns protesting are simply being used as pawns in this divide and rule agenda.

Can we please shut the fuck up about "ACAB"? It's boring and irrelevant. Must admit i didnt know what it meant. I thought ABBA were reforming without benny or bjorn and replacing either with cliff. And then i thought it was a song by genesis. Then i googled it and realised i was wrong on both counts. 😄

Why is a video by 2 people (The Hodgetwins) who openly call themselves "ultra conservative comedians" and "Trump fanboys" any kind of evidence of anything? "Ultra conservatives blame something on the left shock exclusive"...must be valid then. Nothing wrong with questioning the narrative old boy (genuinely...i know i've kncoked you in the past with the tin foil tag etc. but i don't think anyone has a fucking clue what to believe anymore so i'm open to all ideas nowadays), but a source that's a tad more independent and has less of an already known political bias may just make your point a bit better than this if you can find it. This one has already been linked on twitter pages with the Candace Owens one as a demonstration of "black people speaking the real truth" (and she's actually funded by the republicans to speak against BML). Funny how they all seem to be openly and publicly Trump supporters who the president himself re-tweets

But it's an alternative opinion you won't really hear on the BBC. Those with other opinions also have loyalties, and the BBC has its agenda.

Unbelievable isn't it. Because there have been conspiracies in the past, therefore everything must be one. Evidence, proof not necessary. Those that have evidence and proof are sheep, yet those that believe youtube videos by people with open political bias and no proof whatsoever and follow it blindly apparently aren't sheep but are wise and know the truth. He had one chance to win me over..then came out with that post

In Britain, I think dying in custody is more related to class than skin colour. Although rascism is still alive in Britain, class snobbery is still the biggest problem. In the USA rascism is a different beast. The two are inextricably linked, white people have more of the benefit of historical racism, inheritance of wealth from the age of the slave trade means that black people started with nothing a few hundred years ago, whereas white people had wealth. The taxpayer only stopped paying off the loan the UK took out to pay slave owners compensation for abolition in 2015. Our racism is different to the US in that it is generally less blatant, but it is still incredibly prevalent in a more subtle way. Where are you talking about. Are you saying that all white people have inherited wealth from the slave trade,?.
