    In all, 102 people were shot across Chicago from Friday evening to Monday morning — the highest number of shooting victims in a single weekend this year, the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

    14 people were killed, amongst them children;
    • 3 y/o boy was shot in a car with his father who was the intended target
    • 13 y/o girl shot in the neck while watching TV in her home
    • 15 y/o boy shot in his leg, chest and abdomen walking home.

    A video that was doing the rounds last week shows the white Macy's employee being battered by a black man for allegedly calling him the n-word in the middle of Macy's. So now it's acceptable to beat the fcuk out of someone and claim I have been insulted and break the law? A completely unprovoked attack.

    Look at the intensity of the response and the "punishment" is disproportionate to the alleged offense. Its a massive coincidence that the response was filmed by his brother in such a timely, uninterrupted orderly manner? The pair of them fled the scene. Probably were afraid for their lives......

    Irami Osei-Frampong, a University of Georgia graduate student and Far Left UGA Teaching Assistant on Black Lives Matter Movement, has stated that “Some White People May Have to Die for Black Communities to Be Made Whole” – and he’s confused as to why his words are so controversial. Another statement of his "Fighting white people is a skill." seemed to act as the match to spark the fire. No doubt if this was a member of staff at a university who did this they would be sacked.

    2. The oppressors decided that this hashtag would gather too much momentum and decided they needed to water it down and dilute it with 'alllivesmatter' to protect the racist system that they benefit from. And to some degree it's working (COINTELPRO).

    Imagine believing this sh!te.
    You are being manipulated into diluting a movement that's main goal is end police brutality.

    The BLM Uk goals are to have some communist overthrow of the state. Let's call it out for what it is. They don't hide, why should you be manipulated into lying on their behalf?

    Are you seriously asking that question on an Irish website? A 5 year old could answer that question for you.

    They were oppressed for been Irish, not for been White.

    I think the poster meant oppressed for being white. There is a distinction.

    Oppression is oppression. Being oppressed for your skin colour doesn't place you higher on the pedestal than someone being oppressed for their ethnicity.

    Of course it doesn't make it ok and of course white people aren't the same.
    How could you possibly imply that was what I meant.

    He wasn't black either. He likely looked close to semetic peoples from modern times, ie the Jews and Palestinians, who are closer to white than Black. They're a solidly Levantine looking people, like most living around the Mediterranean.

    It does if you're the type of person who subscribes to critical theory and don't believe in facts.

    Of course you're correct, but don't expect the asylum to grasp it.

    I know that, I'm not disagreeing.

    The way Irish were portrayed as sub human was similar to how blacks were portrayed, or jews were portrayed by Nazis.

    That's the whole point of hate crimes, to flip justice on it's head. It's why so many people are so utterly confused at this most simple of concepts.
