    So I won't, it's a busy weekend, and I wish you all a good one. 👍
    You can't equate relatives living in council houses with slavery

      😏 I didnt. But again, that's exactly the kind of thing that gets thrown around with anything on this topic.

        Questioning someone's heritage and presenting it as factual, especially in politically charged situations involving mixed race, is a clear form of gaslighting.

        It's a cynical manipulative tactic used in politics imo. It's a means of creating confusion and doubt, leading recipients questioning their own experiences and understanding. This not only erodes trust in their perception but also exploits societal tensions and prejudices, further marginalising and disempowering. Such gaslighting is a deliberate attempt to control and destabilise through psychological means.

        But your MO is to write throwaway sentences, comments, without context. It's undoubtedly a form of gaslighting within a discussion. It's a not a very clever tactic and it's not helpful. Perhaps you are the one in need of a 'great reset'?

          Again. This is means nothing without context and the use of the term 'establishment goals' is just another overused and innacurate description which suggests that you 'know something the reader doesn't'. Unfortunately, we never, ever get a full explanation of what that might be. Could that be gaslighting too....I wonder?

              You seem to be obsessed with playing the race card, which is a classic divide and rule tactic, but lets ignore that for a moment. As with Obama, Harris isn't going to change anything that most people want and need, and I think many would welcome the idea of bringing BLM to the table to help find a suitable candidate that could offer real change, but we all know that will never happen as the hidden hands behind the scene would never allow it. You have to admit, it's brilliant how they do it by having people like you blaming others, while they sit there laughing their pants off. It's time to wake up fella and go after the real problem, which isn't anybody posting on a football message board. This will be my last post on the matter, so have fun playing your little games

                    I didn't compare having two grandparents who died in council housing to the slave trade 🤣

                      You did. It's poorly worded but it's in the thread above.

                      I thought you were off for the weekend? Take some time off from posting in every thread, it'll do you some good.

                        Hilarious. You don't even know what you're posting now. You're the one playing the "race card".

                          No I did not. It's a preposterous statement.

                          Don't fret, I'll be quiet this week, which will hopefully help your anger issues 👍

                            Your grandparents died in a council house and were less well off than some non white British people ?

                            That's the best I can do from what you have written I am afraid

                            The point here is you are a middle class white boy criticising black lives matter from the comfort of your living room a million miles away from the experience of afro American people

                            I think that's the criticism aimed at you and others 🤔 and I generally agree

                              You were saying your grandparents who were white and in council housing could relate to or you could relate their experience to, the struggle of others? In this case afro Americans

                              It's utterly stupid of course but I can't think of any other point you are trying to make

                                Wrong. It was part of an debate the homogeneity of experiences and privileges in life based on race (and other experiences for that matter).

                                No one said having two grandparents die in council housing is remotely comparable to the slave trade. That is utterly preposterous but the kind of absurd strawman take some lean upon to position their argument.
