I have a view and I will express it, who are you to try and shout me down?
Already been through this with Ben, he’s better at than you btw, and it seemed evident that there was disparity. Which might be annoying, upsetting, frustrating and it needs to be looked at.........but nobody dies.
I don’t know, do you?[COLOR="Silver"]

to take your points in order.
1) There have several deaths in police custody of black people where excessive force has played a significant part in the death of a suspect. Look it up
2) Your opinion is detracting from the crux of the issue. It doesn't matter what the movement is called. the important part is the objective. I don't see BLM in the US complaining about people in the UK or other parts of the world using BLM. So why is it so important to you?
If you think saying someone is better than me is going to cause me to stop debating then I'm sorry you're wrong. If that wasn't the aim then i don't really see why you would choose to post a petty attempt at an insult.
Now, would you like to stop with the poor attempts at insults and use the significant intelligence you posses to engage in the important part of the issue?

Why would 'All lives matter' have been a better slogan? Don't you think that detracts the focus from where it needs to be?
