Re: Black Lives Matter
The amount of virtue signalling right now is blinding and deafening. But that is all it is “virtue signalling”.
Nothing will change at a pace. Corporates will find something else to champion.
Once Covid is under-control or better, and we truly get back to normal, BLM will be nothing more than a memory. They’ll still be around, but more of an annoyance, like the “socialist Worker” crowd used to to be. (Are they still a thing, not been in the town centre recently)

Oh this is far worse than virtue signalling. "Proper" virtue signalling is suppose to cost you something, like giving to charity or keeping chaste. This is installing landmines into the culture you have to avoid. Soon anyone who accidentality says master bedroom could be sacked or shunned.

As with so many other issues, the seeds have been firmly planted, and have infected everything and everywhere.

How is sacking somebody, or forcing people out, just because they don't agree with you, not being "a massive bigot"?

All this stupid preoccupation with words and statues is taking away from black people the mission of the US BLM movement. It is a deliberate diversion by some people who are trying to undermine the cause and set the majority of the population against it.
Black people should publicly reject these diversionary tactics and reassert the true message and raison d'etre of BLM. It has nothing to do with language, white lives or statues. It is about the way black people are treated now and not how they were treated centuries ago.
The people who are adding stuff to the original message, such as bringing down capitalism, know exactly what they are doing. They should not be allowed to get away with it.

And we're supposed to believe that BLM to Black people?

At least 17 people died and 63 others were injured in Chicago due to gun violence over the Fourth of July weekend so far. Two killed overnight were young, continuing a string of children fatally shot in recent weeks.
The youngest person killed over the weekend was 7-year-old Natalia Wallace, of Chatham. She was shot in the head around 7 p.m. Saturday in the South Austin neighborhood while outside at a family gathering.
A 14-year-old boy was also shot and killed later in the night in Englewood along with three others who have not yet been identified after four men started shooting at a large gathering, according to Chicago police. Four others were injured in the mass shooting, including an 11-year-old boy and a 15-year-old boy.
...This makes the week the third in the row to include the death of a young child. A 20-month-old boy and a 10-year-old girl were killed in separate shootings last weekend. A week earlier, five children were fatally shot, including a 3-year-old boy.
Most of the shootings that occurred from 3 p.m. Thursday to 6 a.m. Sunday happened in the South and West sides, which have long experienced gun violence and gang crime. The only North Side shootings occurred in the Rogers Park district.

That's just one city. And it's the White Police that are expected to have to deal with it.

Why would the non-white police not get involved?

I'm waiting for a woke subscriber to say something like "who's to say it was a black perpetrator".

Just look at the pictures of the Police Officers in the articles. Not many non-white police officers.

Criminals = bad people who do bad things
Police protect people from bad people
BLM = don’t want killed by people who are supposed to protect them from bad people
Hope this helps with any confusion you had...

But BLM wants to stop the Police dealing with the bad(ie Black) people. Instead they want Black people to be the ones going around killing Black people, or passing around fake money. They want to act with complete impunity. Black people have died at the hands of Black people, as a direct result of all this.
