You've been told that the "certain group" that you keep referring to are the victims of "52% of all homicides"... How does that make them responsible? Are they responsible for their own deaths because they're black, trampie?
Shall we add this "certain group" to the list of "groups" that you hate along with the English and Americans?
There we are Heisenberg xsnaggle has put it up for you although I didn't see it on wiki, I seen it on a fact checking site.

Of course. My response was tongue in cheek. Let's face it when you see a load of black people rioting in Brixham and a load of white people congregating on beaches you have to realise that there are a load of idiots out there who don't give a stuff about anything or anyone other than themselves.

Share your fact checking site source then, trampie. xsnaggle's link has some flaws if you're basing your argument on them.
"According to the US Department of Justice, African Americans accounted for 52.5% of all homicide offenders from 1980 to 2008" - that doesn't back up your claim that "one specific group is responsible for 52% of homicides". Unless you think using old figures is relevant to the present, of course. It's a bit like saying "Man United are winning more games than any other team" because "between 1992-2012 Man United were accountable for 50% of PL titles (haven't done the maths on that btw)"
The other part that stood out was this: "In 2013, African Americans accounted for 52.2% of all murder arrests, with Whites 45.3% and Asians/indigenous Americans 2.5%. Of the above, 21.7% were Hispanic."
How does that work? Unless there are black African-American-Hispanic people killing everyone?
Share your source that backs up your claim that 52% of homicides in America are commited by black people and you'll get a full apology from me.

Agreed. Shame Burnley don't ban one of their other fans (Alastair Campbell) for contributing towards the death of thousands of iraqis.

No apology forthcoming.

Have the figures shocked you ?, have the figures shocked you to your core ?

No.
The only thing that's shocked me is that you're being such a c**t about this matter. It shouldn't shock me since you're taking to the BLM stories in the same vein as you do with your anti-English and anti-America posts. I guess you just have an issue with anyone who isn't of Welsh heritage.

The figures don't shock you you say Heisenberg, blimey, they shock me that a small section of society out there can be responsible for the majority of all homicides.

Again, no, it doesn't shock me... because of a little thing called 'context'. Have you ever applied it to anything you've posted, trampie?
Re: Aeroplane Over The Etihad
I'm fully into context and am still shocked at the stats.

The point you are choosing to ignore is that most black murderers kill black victims and most white murderers kill white victims. I would say that would be pretty much as anyone would expect in such a divided society. There is certainly no case to suppose the premise that black people in the USA are rampaging about killing only white people. That is nonsense.

As usual the edges are getting blurred about why it exists

Police brutality by racist police officers I think is the key theme

My understanding is it’s more than just about police brutality, BLM was set-up in relation to police acquittals following brutality and thereby perceived injustices.

Yes you are correct.
I had a look at its website/s. It's a really big organisation with a very broad range of aims and objectives. Three talented ladies at the head it's a successful business with strong PR and a significant marketing and sales arm. Also seems to have a good revenue stream with big donations from USA corporations particularly
Companies House UK website lists Black Lives Matter Worldwide Ltd. Also Black Lives Matter Ltd. I don't think they are related to the USA organisation, maybe people jumping on the bandwagon to capitalise on BLM name
Re: Aeroplane Over The Etihad
BlackMattersUS and Blacktivist were said to be Russian sites, think the Yanks shut them down, Blacktivist was apparently a well known and popular site, sure I heard the Russians also bought Black Lives Matter ads for Facebook, targeting certain cities in the US.
