It’s something we see from other groups of people a lot. ‘Buy British’ and was even campaign by indepedence supporters about supporting Scottish business and boycotting others I guess those supporting the view would argue its positive discrimination. I’m not sure the way to combat discrimination, is with discrimination no matter how much I may understand the rational I have said previously on this thread I’m not sure what BLM aims are it seems more an outpouring of anger than to actually addressing issues. Sadly I find myself agreeing with your last para. There is a very much a ‘not with us your against us mentality’ which I really don’t think is great for try to ensure equality and equal opportunities. It’s a incredibly complex subject which people seem intent to boil down to binary issue. As side note I note the Simpsons are going to stop having white actors voice characters of race. From the BLM UK facebook page "we are guided by a commitment to dismantle imperialism, capitalism, white supremacy, patriarchy, and the state structures that disproportionately and systematically harm black people in Britain and around the world" Abolishing the police is a specific aim but that seems to have been deleted recently. "Western" charities working oversees are considered "colonist" (colonialist?). So we better change our shirt sponsor before football resumes. Note the irony of multi-millionaire sportsmen and businessmen taking the knee and in other ways supporting dismantling capitalism. American BLM doesn't go in so much for dismantling capitalism. Too un-American I guess, I doubt that more than 5% of protesters really share the BLM UK objectives to the extent they are aware of them . But the idea that the tearing down and defacing of statues and so on is a spontaneous reaction to the tragic but sadly all too common killing of a black man in an American city is fanciful.

Neil Dongcaster Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 Racism is a coloured canvas hiding the real problem of poverty. Ensure people have opportunities and a basic standard of living, empower communities to clean themselves up through funding programmes and investment in infrastructure, treat drug abuse as a medical issue and lower education costs. Only then will the vast majority of problems disappear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Systemic racism seems not to operate against Chinese, Indian and other ethnic minorities. In fact whites, particularly white boys do more badly in the education system than others. And your solution is fine, except that while drug users should be treated as a medical, drug dealers should not. And funding programmes also need the state institutions and legal syatem BLM want to dismantle to ensure funds are properly spent within the empowered communities.

The market is free, so you can spend what you want where you want and why you want. Boycotts of South Africa in the 70s and 80s eventually bore fruit. People also boycott or chose to support companies for any number of reasons. Fairtrade being a prime example of the free market being used to change things on a macro scale. Facebook has this week been forced to change it's (lack of) policy on hate speech after lots of advertisers withdrew their support and crashed Facebook's share price by 7% in one day. On a national scale, subsidies and tax breaks are used to encourage growth in certain sectors or to protect a certain sector. On an international scale, sanctions and embargoes imposed on a nation are exactly the same thing just at a political level. Money talks.

Cade Posted June 28, 2020 Share Posted June 28, 2020 It's difficult trying to know the source of what you buy. Meat may have a British label on it but that only means it was slaughtered and packaged in the UK, it does not guarantee that the animals were raised here. Likewise with white goods, it may say "made in Britain" but it will only have been assembled here, from parts made around the world. Being able to trace your goods back to original source should be much easier than it is. Organic foods have made themselves easily traceable as part of their Organic certification. If only everything was as easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is partly Marxist, partly communist, partly anti--capitalist, partly anarchist. A grand coalition of the anti-establishment. What I find odd is that there has been no Panorama or other investigative reporting into what exactly BLM is. The BBC and most of the mainstream media, even in fact the more right wing media, have mostly let BLM run free as if they were a spontaneous response to a tragic killing in Minneapolis. While collecting over a million pounds from donations in the UK it avoids becoming a charitable institution because that would mean complying with rules about how charities operate.
