7628mm Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 We have now reached page 4 of what is (in my opinion) ostensibly a flag debate which the last time I looked at the forum rules is a banned subject. I am not in any way saying that this debate should not discussed but perhaps it should be in the shed as it is not really what the terrace is for.

Or at least, not proportionally more than there is against poor white kids from every impoverished housing estate all across Scotland. Scotland is a much more tolerant place than it was than when I was a kid. However, there are still a bunch of knuckle dragging morons who will racially abuse and assault people who have a darker skin colour than themselves.

Dallas Green Posted June 23, 2020 Share Posted June 23, 2020 8 hours ago, Stendelsarmy said: Ok let me rephrase. There's no systemic racism against black people by Police Scotland. I'm sure a tiny minority of black people have been unfortunate enough to be subjected to police brutality in Scotland as have a tiny minority of white people. Of course white people have been subject to police brutality. The issue is that people who are not white are at a higher risk of it. If a black dude is waiting outside a building by himself he is much more likely to be accosted by the police than a white dude. It happens in Scotland. It is systemic racism.

Im trying to think if I’ve ever actually seen a racist incident in my life though tbh. I’m not saying it doesn’t exist but I honestly can’t think of a single one that I seen in front of me other than the Mark Walters incident at Tynecastle.

Britain is one of the most tolerant countries in the world. Do you genuinely think lots of people in this country don't believe that BLM?? Again, 3 white males were murdered on Saturday, so if it's a reminder to "society" that tragedies affect all creeds and colours then tonights banner will have served a purpose. I think you are missing the point though. It's not a war, it is an attempt to educate people on the edge of racism to better understand that there is only one race , the human one. Skin tone has been determined over centuries, simply by melanin production in the human body, which is dependant on the proximity of the specific group to the equator. The greater the distance from the equator, the lighter the skin tone. Don't get me wrong, there are idiots who will attach themselves to well meaning causes and cause disruption and mayhem, but that is not down to their colour or creed. It's far more to do with their upbringing, their social circumstances, the damage done to them by the society they live in, the path not taken, the choices not provided. A despicable act, like the one perpetrated in Reading is not due to systemic racial prejudice. The murder of three innocent members of the public should be seen as a criminal act (terrorist?) and not a reason to stamp on a movement attempting to readdress a social imbalance which has been going on for centuries. Black lives matter, not more or less, they just matter. Whilst it is a nice sentiment to suggest that all lives matter, and they should, the fact is in this society, they don't. At least certainly not equally. Until we readdress the imbalance, through a thorough dismantling and rebuilding of the history we teach within the education system, we will forever be in the grip of this terrible affliction.

I have also been on the end of abuse when I have worked down there. I also know the abuse goes both ways across the border though. I'm not denying that bullying takes place for all these other things either. It does. Being white, in a scottish school, is not the thing going to get you bullied or picked on though. Which was my point to the issue raised of poor white kids from impoverished council estate areas. Racism does exist in scotland though. I've seen and heard it multiple times. With my job I am in and out of multiple different workplaces, all over Scotland, it is a bigger issue than people realise. Some of the issues come via jokes. They think they arent racist because they frame their racism into a joke. It is still racist. Edited June 23, 2020 by Dallas Green Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know this is on the back of the stabbings in Reading. 3 white folk got stabbed to death. Football is more and more being used as a political vessel to get points across. That pisses me off tbh. I don't want SNP shite, Catholic shite, black shite, white shite or loyalist shite at a football game tbh. Racism and imo other hatred is a growing issue again acriss the globe, but is the recent black lives matter movement effective at all in any way? For most normal folk, they already knew black lives matters, they know all lives matters. A small group of far right groups, organisations and individuals don't think like this, but this campaign won't change that. What is the goal of marching and protesting for black life's matters, the folk that already think like that don't need to change and the groups that are the issue, this sort of thing doesn't touch the sides with them. If anything I think this movement and the way it's taken over everything is agitating many folk in the middle ground and doing more harm to he wider anti racist and hatred movement in general. I didn't like the blm slogan, but to compare it and use it to white lives matters is showing an ignorance of history beyond belief.

The whole point of BLM starting was against police brutality, or alleged police brutality against black people in US, and law enforcement getting away with it because of their uniform (appreciate that the movement has grown to cover other areas such as discrimination in life generally, and rather curiously has turned into a statue debate in the UK). If the Reading killer was released tomorrow and nothing happened to him, and it was part of a systematic pattern of persons murdering white persons not facing justice then that might justify a "white lives matter" debate, but otherwise those who bring up Reading or Lee Rigby are missing the point quite spectacularly.
