George Floyd murder | Clashes between US police and protestors

A virus isn't necessarily a disease?

After all, antibiotics don't work with COVID, so it's not officially a disease.

So, Raz is quite right.

No bud that was semantics, and it was a ridiculous thing to say.

Even if that is the context, there is a bit of irresponsibility there, it’s negatively effecting BAME people (and bald so that’s me!) more for some reason.

The greatest risk to everyone now is this virus.

I agree there’s a lot of racism still out there, obviously I don’t receive it so I probably don’t see it properly, I do factor that into my view on this but I still don’t know what system change they want, when they refer to that.

I’m not being an arse, I just haven’t read or heard a specific policy or law they want to change?

Obviously the Windrush scandal is something I totally agree was a disgrace and shouldn’t have happened, but that’s been stopped thankfully.

What else is there institutionally?

The police still are IMO and the stats bear out they are the recieving end of bad treatment

Racism in football from the terraces to the tiny amount of black managers

The mail and the sun,evident towards meghan but the mail hates immigrants etc

It is about daily casual and overt racism towards them in the streets ,media and the authorities

They are trying to shift the attitude towards them and trying to get greater representation in the police and football to name but two

I do have to say this is what i think ,if anyone from the community wants to put me straight then please do

Dont even get me started on the yanks and racism

Top deflection Mr Bigga you would make a great politician:-)

I see it’s Sterling’s fault again.

Good to see we can rely on old favourites no matter the situation.

So is isolating the fact Raheem said "disease".

 

[kaz7]

I don't agree with BLM spreading the virus possibly putting the rest of this island at risk, supporting the people in the USA because of this horrible murder but he was bang out of order for saying what he said, you seriously can't defend that. I quite like Sterling my posts on him reflect that but waht he said was warped.

More BAME people die percentage wise from Covid, the solution?

Go on a march.

EDIT: I quite like you as a poster but you're being a bit of a fan/girl/boy on this issue.

Really? For trying to understand what is going on with people outside of my own world

Me adoring sergio is being a fan girl !

Mahrez starts most of the anti sterling posts just to have a day off

No Karen, you're batting the arguments out of the park!

You've been thrown poor points and you're slamming home facts.

Home runs every time, Sista!

So is isolating the fact Raheem said "disease".

Mainly because he said it, why did he mention disease? He was linking the two things and he was wrong, it's OK to say it.

 

[mrbelfry]

Fucking Twitter haha

Headed the ball so much he's no longer sure what position he played.

 

[mrbelfry]

Ha thanks

Bigga being on your side puts you in opposition with a lot of other people. Do you have a moment talk about our lord and saviour Joe Biden?

You said it was "semantics" to separate a point.

Are you not doing this when Raheem is only pointing out how racism is spreading and having a debilitating effect on society?

Like a... "disease"...?

He used the term disease on purpose, it's topical. After the shit Raz has had he's every right to be angry but on this one point he was wrong IMO. Just because I think what he said is stupid it doesn't mean I don't like him.

We'll agree to disagree, but denying a fellow Human Being equality is a mental disease.

I agree with him and so does Rev. Al Sharpton making a very similar point a few minutes ago!

It’s not a system though, it’s individuals being racist, which I’m completely on board with changing but I keep seeing the system mentioned and I’m willing to accept ignorance and find out what it is exactly.

The thing with the police is, they use stop and search in areas of high knife crime and drugs, unfortunately that’s poor areas of London mostly, that are mostly black.

The knife epidemic was mostly in that community and something needed to be done to save black lives there.
