I wish Aliens would invade, or Yellowstone erupt or something.

They’re failing to take the country with them.

To suggest they don't exist is just delusional.

Yes it says:

Not 'Black exclusive churches'.

And the other link which refers to "Black churches"?

White people stating they are bored of black lives matter is a curious one. As a white, heterosexual, Christian, male there’s a huge vast of equality based rights campaigns that I personally have no affinity to. Would I go out my way to say that lesbian rights bored me? I’d probably wish them well in principle and continue on with my day oblivious.

I see nothing in any of the links that still work to say they exclude anyone from any background.
That doesn't mean that the churches would exclude them if they did, and I wouldn't agree if they did purely on the basis of race either.
Again not an indication of exclusion, but a co-ordination of a minority element of society to increase their voice

Many other minorities in the UK will co-ordinate through similar umbrella groups to speak with 'one voice' on issues that affect them.

An obviously intelligent chap like yourself must surely be aware that, when you're bombarded with the same information over and over again, it simply becomes a monotonous drone.
I've been hearing about racism all my life, it was around before I was born, and will be around when I've turned to dust.

That's the human species (and nature) for you I'm afraid, we're all still just Primates at the end of the day, with the 'unconscious' traits of tribalism and territoriality still there in our biological makeup.

Given another 50 years you might reduce it to a minimal acceptable level, but with the threats of Global Warming (another monotonous drone), ever increasing population, food/water shortages, and madmen with red buttons, it could all come back very quickly with loud bangs and mushroom clouds :erm:



. . . or of course a meteor strike, Yellowstone eruption, another Krakatoa etc :p:

2) The enhanced job opportunities are unlikely to be in that area. Why shouldn't they want to move?
3) The 2nd/holiday home argument is a bit of nonsense. When have the "poor" ever been able to buy properties there? Why should being "poor" give them the automatic right to live there, buy up the properties and then sell them on for a profit, and you're back to square one. The wages and job opportunities are said to be that bad, that no matter what, they couldn't afford to buy a property.

4) If an identifiable group has a higher chance of finding something, then that is exactly the reason they SHOULD be stopped. Eg Several years ago at the Notting Hill Carnival, a group of police decided NOT to search somebody, another group of police weren't so fussy and searched them, finding a gun in the process. Little point stopping little old ladies on the street.:rolleyes: Then again if little old ladies on the street were found to be involved in crime, then they too would be stopped.

Well done, you have won the Brendan O'Neill award for "straw man argument of the day for stating others are doing something they are not as a defence for what you previously posted"... ;)
