    Did you read the article or just dismissed the source? I'm saying that the woke brigade are making sxxt up not the Daily Mail.


    Also in terms of chronology my posts were 5 hours ago yet you are telling me to look at your replys now to answer a question? 🤔

    Ah. But I'm not right wing. Or close to it.


    But that's usually what the brain dead left think. If you're not left you have to be right wing.


    If you don't sign up to our unrealistic utopian ideals, you must be a right wing savage.


    Mmmhmm

    How is one to differentiate between White and Black Business' ?

    Which ones were the businesses looted, and burnt to the ground during the "mostly peaceful" protests last year ?

    I react to the Mail posts in this thread in the same way I react to Twitter posts in this thread: wondering how much time the poster spent looking for stuff to complain about.

    If there's one thing almost as crazy as the wokes, it's the anti-wokes.

    Good for you.


    People read online news, see a stupid headline and post a link. What's just as strange is if you don't like people highlighting stupid wokeness which is the purpose of this thread, why do you bother going out of your way to disparage said posts.


    Please tell me what are suitable news sources to that will suit your taste so that I will keep it in mind so that I can actively go out of my way to find an article instead of how I currently just post things that I come across on an adhoc basis.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,779 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    I'm all for highlighting stupid wokeness, but when someone is being blatnatly trolled...? Whcih is the whole purpose of the Mail.

    Nor am I saying this doesn;t exist - what I am saying is that this kind of fringe element is so powerless, why give it exposure? You're just helping it.

    good thread this



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,629 ✭✭✭✭MisterAnarchy


    Fringe element, BLM ?

    Really

    The only people doing the trolling are BLM and its race baiting founders.

    In 20 years time I wonder will this thread be used as a primary historical source documenting the descent of the West into insanity and ultimately into WW3.

    Fringe element - those twats who promote black xmas.

    Therein lies the problem. People see them and thing the entirity of BLM is the same. It's like reading that the founders studied Marxism and are therefore trying to bring about communism as the defacto political system in the Western world.

    Why give them exposure?

    If you ignore them they die.

    thats a different argument. But what are you saying here, people wont do woke stuff if there is no pushback? surely the opposite of the "slippery slope" is resistance against it

    My point hasn't changed...?

    The Mail trolls people, and people repostit on twitter and here.

    Dont get me wrong - they're idiots (the woke crowd) - but they're doing it for the attention. And that's what they're getting.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,392 ✭✭✭dogbert27


    It's not that they are only getting attention. It's that people are bending over backwards to accommodate them as per the second link with regard to the Tenement Museum where they historically correctly portrayed Irish immigrants living there but have gone out of their way to find a black family who "could have" "potentially" lived there with absolutely no proof.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 411 ✭✭Starfire20


    lol, the absolute cope!

    triggered because your favourite mythology isn't front and centre.

    there are other celebrations going on at this time of year, some much older than xmas, and that's not to mention that xtians recycled a lot of pagan rituals to make xmas in the first place.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,779 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Are they? Are people specifically going to black business?

    Also, I guarantee you, if you analysed their spending you'd find plenty of non-black businesses.

    Maybe I read this wrong, but would it be similar to saying that everyone thinks that BLM is the one organisation, just like BLM put all us whities into the same basket? Not racist though. No.



    (Apologies if I misread the intention)



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,779 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Not sure what you're getting at here....? Does BLM do that?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,521 ✭✭✭✭Potential-Monke


    Quite a few allegedly speaking for/on behalf of them do. All whiteys fault, no? I'm privileged just by being white is the message that was being pushed by BLM for a good while. Or at least, that's the noise I heard, and I didn't hear anyone from BLM saying "no, they don't speak for us".



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,784 ✭✭✭✭Strumms


    Looking at the BLM website.... if the anti white rhetoric was swapped as in the word white replaced with black... there would be riots...

    #talkabouttrayvon

    “a toolkit for white people on the fifth anniversary of.....”

    imagine a wording on any other site... “a toolkit for black people on... “

    there would be screams of racism... unfortunately the BLM have habitually set low standards and failed to meet them.. an organization with zero, in fact minus credibility...on race on social and on bullying issues.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,779 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    I'm seeing "white supremacy" a lot all right, but is that actual supremacy as opposed to anything white?

    The thing is, white people aren't actually dsicriminated against in the US anywhere near to the same extent, so why would white people need a toolkit on the fifth anniversary of whatever.

    It's like saying "white lives matter" - everyone already knows this! - did anyone up until now ever imply that white lives DIDN'T matter...?

    I'm not saying they're a sensisble, coherent organsiation - left-wing protest and equality organisations generally aren't, and they come across as a little paranoid - but I'm not seeing discrimination there in the same way "Guaranteed Irish" isn't/wasn't xenophobic.

    It’s standards, you can’t have one rule or standard applied to one demographic of persons and not the other....

    Hang on - you were supposed to be trying to portray BLM is blaming everything on "whitey" not portraying them as being massively condescending and hyping up a murder to porray a (probably valid) observation of heavy-handed racism amongst the police force...?

    this whole BLM thing is inherently American centered anyway, it has no relevance this side of the Atlantic (in the form it takes over there at least)

    not twitter responses, sample tweets, that were written by whoever wrote that page, for guilty white people to copy and paste onto twitter in the hope of redeeming their soul, or something... maybe sell a few books and hoodies in the process
