Could you explain that comment please? Are you accusing me of something? |
Yes.
You make no end of excuses for racists. You vote for racists.

And since ‘months ago’ my mum has been openly racially abused and my dad (who is white) has overheard several racist jokes in shops and on the street.
Never underestimate the power which empathy has on differing sections of society. To some, taking a knee may well seem like PC nonsense or left-wing extremism - but to some the belief that the national sport is saying that black people matter is hugely powerful.
When politicians play the race card negativity such as Farage sailing out to sea defending the country then he is playing to the tune of fear and bigotry. But showing support for BLM means something and I, for one, am grateful. |  | | |

Absolutely not what I said. You have wilfully misconstrued my point. What I’m saying is that a gesture becomes less powerful the more it is repeated. |
No, you said it adds fuel to those who "think it's all PC nonsense" which in this context is those who are on the side of the racists rather than those protesting against racism. If you are on the side of the racists rather than the side of those protesting against racism then you are a racist by association. There's no neutral position when it comes to racism, either you oppose it or you support it. | |

You already have a place in my heart. Behind a door I cannot open. The key dangled just out of reach by a grinning lion wearing a top hat and asking me if i'm not entertained. | |

You really need to think about things more rather than just repeating what you think sounds good. I’m trying to give an opinion on how they can make sure the gesture doesn’t lose its relevance. Just because I’m not blindly repeating the same views as you and your mates it doesn’t make me a raving racist | |

Your point wasn't the frequency, it was the repetition.
"What I’m saying is that a gesture becomes less powerful the more it is repeated."
What frequency would be acceptable to you, as a person of white privilege, for the people that want to make a point about current and continued racism? | | | |

Sorry? The fact they repeat it means it has a higher frequency which dilutes the potency of the message | |

It is the recipients of certain behaviour that get to decide if behaviour is racist and the perpetrator is a racist.
A person can't arbitrarily just announce they are not racist and for that to have meaning. | | | |
