@JC good post, thanks . With what you've explained, it reminds me of the free speech principle where even if you hate what's spoken, the principle to have it heard is rock solid, and offence begins and ends with the individual, and their choice.
I think my hypersensitivity to this callow racial dividing can't stop me glancing at that big elephant in the room when these "initiatives" arise.

@Siam I just think that facts can be misrepresented, misused or ignored, but it doesn’t stop them from being facts. These are apparently black owned businesses. Most people will ignore that fact. Some will use it affirmatively to help their community prosper, as I do with preferring local businesses, or even negatively because they dislike any non-black owned businesses. Others will use the fact to avoid the businesses, either on a point of principle, or from actual prejudice. I’m comfortably in the “ignore” bracket and assume that the vast majority of others are too.

Reporting the factual news is now racist and offensive.

Wow what a surprise
Police numbers are not the problem, it's the relationship with the community that they think needs work. BLM want to blow the whole thing up

Classic story about the filing of that scene ...
Regarding the Django Unchained shoot, Foxx recalled DiCaprio fretting about saying the n-word over and over in character. “It’s tough for me to say this,” Foxx said DiCaprio told him on the set. But Samuel Jackson encouraged DiCaprio to set his concerns aside.
“Get over it, motherf—-r,” Foxx recalled Jackson saying. “It’s just another Tuesday, motherf—-r. I don’t give a f— about these motherf—-rs. Look who I am.” Foxx seconded that motion, telling DiCaprio to think from the point-of-view of slave-owner.

There’s nothing not to love about Django. What a movie.

What a great quote from that a article. Not
"Channel 4 have to go through a process of educating and making sure Ant Middleton takes the right side of history."
I am really getting to fucking hate all these preachy fluffybunnies and the way they are infecting every strata of our society. fluffybunnies.
Edit: And I would really like the fluffybunny filter turned off just for this post. I feel that strongly.

Should probably segregate medical care eh.
Less than 3 minutes on the web and you find 42% of the doctors in Florida (where the research was from) are non-white - but it's only the white doctors and their "unconscious racism" who are at fault according to the Guardian.
Either they have given up hiding their agenda or it's just lazy journalism. Probably both.
