This BLM nonsense is destructive on so many levels.
I agree. Five years ago I hardly cared about any racial issues. But now, thanks to this insane level of identity politics that has reared its ugly head, I am extremely sensitive about my race and culture.
The double standards make me very angry. Take the White Lives Matter banner that was flown over the football game in the UK over the weekend. The police are investigating and the club has been forced to renounce racism - again. All this the day after three white people (and gay, no less) were stabbed to death by an African for the crime of sitting in a park on the weekend.
Why is one African-American who resists arrest suddenly a martyr whose name everybody soon knows and the narrative is that the killing was premeditated and racial (are these people all psychic?).
Why when children are slaughtered in Manchester by brown-skinned fanatics at a concert is the only response allowed by mainstream media: "NOT ALL MUSLIMS!" and anything other than that gets you labelled racist? If white people responded "NOT ALL WHITE PEOPLE" when George Floyd was killed, the feminists on Twatter would shut that down real quick.
If we lived in a sane, rational and intellectually consistent world we would see protests by every white person in the UK to renounce this ostensibly "racist" murder of three gay people in a park and to demand an end to these insane immigration policies - and, crucially, the news media would cover this with the utmost sympathy and respect especially considering we won't be setting fire to entire communities.
But nope. Even if there were protests they would be "far right" protests.
Everybody in the UK has to tip-toe around a racial group that is unfortunately responsible for the majority of the crime, and everything is everyone else's fault. The double-standards and hypocrisy are going to polarise us all until something gives.
