Re: White Lives Don't Matter

It makes me laugh when I read things like 'the posters sparked local outrage.' Perhaps there were one or two mindless, bandwagon jumpin', hand wringing, faecesbook dwelling lefties who were actually outraged; but I reckon the vast majority either agreed with the posters or didn't even notice them.

Re: White Lives Don't Matter

I agree with the statement "All Lives Matter".

When it comes to racism, i have always been puzzled by the fact that, whilst there are many, many different shades of colour as you look around the world, there is, seemingly, only a few of those races/colours, which suffer racism.

I've come to the conclusion that those who were affected most, will always be those who were forced to leave their own Countries, either as slaves, or perhaps in order to get the work needed to survive.

I apologise for preaching but, wouldn't it have been better, for the races, if their own Countries were sorted out, by the rest, and were able to offer a reasonable standard of life which would attract people to stay.

We hear about aid going in to various Countries but we don't often hear about how that has been successful.

I agree Ted, but it is difficult to change how different nations think!
In some, women are treated as second class citizens. In some, they can see no wrong in sexually abusing young boys & girls & tell the parents that they are giving the kids a job....they even give small amounts of money to the families... so nobody knows!
The world is not a nice place & I feel that there is little hope of every human being treated as an equal.

I hate to day this but..... " don't forget that all who work in foreign aid will be out of a job, if they do the job well" so it is unlikely that their work will ever be finished!

No worries on that score Twink, as fast as we send aid, the faster they produce more kids, and so it goes on. It seems to me that their governments don't bother looking after their poor people, while ever other countries are doing the job for them.

Most foreign people just come to western countries to work hard and fit in with society Ted. The ones who cry 'Racism' are the ones who cause the most trouble and want to change society to their own liking.
